I see ya' PJ!

I wanted a 16 ounce of that Mocha Silk stuff (but it only comes in 8 ounces). And I refuse to buy 2 Jars.

I'm tryna' cut down on buyin' 8 ounce DC'ers. It's not economical for me.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Hello ladies! Yup 8 ouncers aren't economical at all! Especially regarding conditioners and dc's.
This morning I co-cleansed with cj daily fix and co-washed with cj smoothing conditioner. I left in kbb oil and kbb milk, and wet bunned with qhemet gel and MHC grease. My hair was soft and shiny all day!

Lately, I've been buying 16 ounce Jars/Bottles.

I definitely won't be buying any more 8 ounce Cowashers. (At least Imma try) Total Waste of $.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Yes an 8 ounce conditioner is like a "sample" lol. I won't be buying gallons either! It has been so dreadful trying to use up this moist 24/7 smh

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@beautyaddict1913

Yeah. Lawd...I can't imagine havin' a Godzilla-Gallon on my Hands.

12-16 ounces is good. And an occasional 32.

I love my 32 of OHH.

I also have a 32 of Curls Sublime and a 32 of Jessicurl Too Shea!

 

[beautyaddict1913]

The 32 curls sublime is overwhelming a little too. I wish everything was in 24 ounces - I would want bfh, Darcy's pumpkin, and cj argan and olive yum!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

beautyaddict1913

Thanks for the Heads up on the Curls. I haven't opened that yet.

I actually got 1 32 ounce Bottle and 3 of the thinner bottles. I think they might be 10-12 ounce.

It looks 'thinner' so I'll pull that out this Spring/Summer. Looks like the perfect weight for a Summer Cowash conditioner.

 

[divachyk]

IDareT'sHair - definitely getting 16oz+ on Oyin HH next time around.

I was seriously considering Claudie's but my cart was like $50 with discount before shipping. It was mroe than what I wanted to spend so I let it sit. Went back tonight to play with it but the code shows invalid. I thought the sale went through tomorrow. Not that it matters now, I was considering:

Avocado Intense Conditioner
Hair/Temple Balm
Tiffani Pomade
Balancing End Assurance
Scalp Elixir

I have 1 more Liter of OHH left. I'm almost done with that 1st bottle. In fact, I may use it up tomorrow.

Hopefully, BF I can pick up another Liter. (or two).

I'll move on to finish up that Jessicurl and whatever else I have that's open.

I noticed that Njoi has 20% off the entire month of Feburary (for Black History Month). You can stock up on your Herbal Tea Spritz.

As Brownie518 would say: That Joint Needs to be Bigger.

*i lurves it tho'*

 

[beautyaddict1913]

I ordered sone last week and it came Tuesday. But I didn't get a discount

 

[cherrynicole]

Finished my DermOrganics Argan Oil sulfate free shampoo. Now on to my S factor Diamond Dreams sulfate free which smells super yummy!!

[Eisani]

divachyk I saw on Claudie's site the sale ran until the 9th so I went on and hit paynah. My shipping was over $10, but with the discount all of my products averaged out to about $9-$10 each. I couldn't pass it up. I placed a NARS order today too. Have to go shoe shopping tomorrow so I *think* I'm done for now. Hairveda's prices are looking good! MoistPro is like $4.99/bottle. Can't beat that!

 

[beautyaddict1913]

I bought NARS too last week! I got the sheer matte foundation and blush in Desire - from Sephora. My life will be complete when I get the Taj Mahal blush Eisani

 

[Eisani]

beautyaddict1913 Taj Mahal was my first NAR purchase ever and it has been a continuous repurchase. Today I bought 413 Bleecker lip gloss, Taos blush, and Velvet Gloss lip pencil in Mexican Rose.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Eisani ha! Taos was my first NARS purchase! I haven't heard of the other items you listed. Have u bought anything from occ yet?

 

[Golden75]

Awww dayum - I needs ta pay attention. I thought Claudie's ran til 2/14 - divachyk - same reason I got outta there - $50 cart but $60 with shipping. Didn't want to go out like that. If imma break no buy, it's still on a budget!

Dayum you BJ, think imma take a peak. I think I will check out SSI next - but her shipping kills the cart too.

Never tried the Moist Pro, love the 24/7.

 

[Eisani]

beautyaddict1913 that's funny about the blush! The other items I believe are only available on NARS' website or their store. They always offer free shipping w/$50 like Sephora.

Golden75 I love both 24/7 and MoistPro. I used the MoistPro when I need a lil kick of protein, mainly a summer cowasher for me. The 24/7 I use year round to cowash and as a leave in. Lemme gon' and hit paynah. Brb.

 

[Golden75]

Ehhhh, I broke N/B, but only spent $17 - so I don't feel bad. Grabbed 1 of each Moist Pro & 24/7 - co-washers, and I plan to do henna glosses, 24/7 comes in handy for that. I will be getting SSI, mainly for lil cuz, and ummm may grab a couple thangs for my self

 

[Eisani]

Don't feel bad Golden75. I just ordered HV too. I bought 2 MoistPro, 1 Phyto, 1 Cocasta and 2 Whipped Gelly. I kinda went hard @ Claudie's...I ordered everything I mentioned in the other thread as well as Quinoa Coffee Balanced and Mango rinse. I feel so relieved though .

beautyaddict1913 I forgot to answer your q about OCC. I've only purchased nail polish from them, no makeup. I only have a few of the polishes, Pool Boy, Chlorophyll, Wasabi, NSFW, and another I can't think of the name right now .

 

[Golden75]

Eisani - yeah, I don't feel too bad. 24/7 is a staple. I have about 1/3 bottle left. And the price was right. I was going to buy 2 but her condishes last me a good while. I almost got the gelly too, but I figured I really would not use, and def not by the shelf life.

I am soooo mad I missed Claudie. I really thought I had til next week!

I plan to get SSI Okra, Honey Rinse, and maybe the Avocado condish, and I want to get some of the kids line for lil cuz.

 

[13StepsAhead]

I love Taj Mahal it give me a great look especially in the summer/fall. And a little goes a long way

 

[bajandoc86]

Some of these people at work give me a headache. I'm here praying to the Lawd I don't tell this lady to shut tha hell up. Makes me wanna go and buy sumthin'....get .some retail therapy.

 

[Golden75]

hmmpffff Y'all gonna have me checking out the NARS. LAWWWDDDD I don't need to pick the makeup pjism again. I use haul some MAC like I was a pro. I have no idea how to apply makeup, and how to match my foundation. But I love makeup. Off to look at dem colors....

 

[bronzebomb]

:woohoo2::woohoo:Am I the only one still on the "no-buy"?

Before I signed on I went to Curlmart.com to see if the shipping was still high!

the discount of 20% off (Love20) is the same as the Freeshipping60. I had all Curl Junkie products in my cart (Curl queen, Curls in a Bottle, & Pattern Pusha). I don't think these products will work for my hair, but I won't be happy until I try them for myself.

I think UFD may have a sale soon. yay! Extra Butter for me.

 

[Eisani]

Hey bronzebomb good for you staying the course! I got my fix so I think I'm all set. I'm still undecided about Marie Dean. I'm just excited to have packages coming .

I told my "client" about the HV sale to see if she wanted anything. I told her those were basically the only products I used during the beginning of my transition and now she wants everything I ever used from the line. I'm really trying not to turn her out . I think we'll go over her goals and needs again. Lawd I'm creating a monster.

 

[Ltown]

Hey ladies!

I bet HV lurk this thread because every time we do a no buy she has a sale to get yall

We did good heck a month of no buy is AWESOME for PJs

I'm passing on HV still have vatika and cocosta that I haven't used up. I'm just waiting on silk dreams.

 

[natura87]

Emailed HV about some products becuase the site was acting wonky and wouldnt even let me put stuff in the cart.

 

[Eisani]

OMG they tried it. I KNEW they were going to swap our itineraries. I'm supposed to leave Wednesday for Boston. *cough* *cough* I'm finna be sick on Tuesday.
