B.A.S.K. Palm Tapioca Review

I know its been a while. Don't make feel guilty...let's just git er done.

So, have you heard about B.A.S.K? If you haven't you are missing out big-time! I first heard about B.A.S.K. (beauty assortment for the sun-kissed) last fall. It seemed like everyone was raving about the yummy "dessert" treats for hair and body. I kept my distance and waited to see how the company would progress over the next few months (after the infamous Enso Naturals catastrophe can you blame me?). If you know me though, you know if I want something bad enough I can't help myself (plus I couldn't find any bad reviews). I eventually gave into my desires in late January. I purchased a few things that I will review (eh, and I have more coming), and palm tapioca is up first.

From the company:
Thick, concentrated, and highly moisturizing- this hair buttercream is super duper rich with loads of softening emollients.

Specs:


NET WEIGHT: 8 oz
Ingredients: Distilled Water, Cocoa Butter, Unrefined Cupuacu Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Babassu Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Palm Oil, Virgin Palm Kernel Oil, Ucuuba Butter, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Beeswax, Ceteareth-20, Fragrance, & Phenoxyethanol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin.
Lightly scented with an essence of Vanilla Dulce de Leche & Almond. Texture is of a rich buttercream with easy spreadability on either wet or dry curls without being greasy.
Price:
$16

What I think:

Smell- smells light and sweet, a cross between amaretto and a little vanilla..yummy

Consistency- Now here's where it really gets you....this stuff is THICK, like super-duper thick in the jar. I could probably hold it upside down forever and it wouldn't come out. However, it melts LIKE A DREAM! I have low porosity hair, and it melts right into my strands (I don't even know how this is possible, but I like it).

Slip- Decent slip, not like CJ smoothing lotion slip, but good slip. I used it on wet hair and had no problems distributing it.

How used- I used this to do a braidout, a twistout, and to moisturize my 2nd and 3rd day WNG. Each time I got good moisture retention and nice shine without weighed down, greasy hair.

Pros: Smells great, applies easily, quality ingredients, GREAT customer service from Rashida, free sample with order, and fast shipping.

Cons: The only one I can think of is that I can't run out to the store and get it if I run out (no worries, I have another one on the way).
