2015 Use Up The Stash Challenge: Session 3

[Vshanell]

Today was wash day. I'm so proud right now.

Used these up on my dry DC today. Hydro quench Systems Pineapple Hibiscus deep conditioner.....I loved this. It has lots of slip! My curls pop after I use it. I would buy this again but no time soon, I have too much stuff to use up. Shea Moisture Purification Mask......I never really knew how to properly use this stuff so I always just deep conditioned with it. A lot of people love this but nothing stood out about it to me. I hate the smell and it lingers too. I won't repurchase.

Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk
Very good moisturizer. This is my second bottle and I have a third . It makes my hair very soft and shiny. I like it way better than the curl enhancing smoothie.

 

[CodeRed]

Used up 1 VO5 conditioner tonight. I really like this Moisture Milk line.

 

[CodeRed]

While it drives me crazy wondering how an untried product will work on my hair, the thrill of empties, for me, is much greater

This all day. I'm sitting here thinking that if something doesn't work, I'm out of something that does that will correct it... but I still want to use something up more than opening something new lol.

 

[Dayjoy]

I do NOT like Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, but I am going to use that bad boy up. HATED it for twist outs so I'm M&Sing more regularly than ever before. I've put a decent dent in it already. It won't be gone by the end of this session, but maybe by the end of May or June.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Couldn't let the SM bogo pass me by. I got a purification Masque, a Superfriut Masque, a Tahitian Monoi Masque and the JBCO styling lotion.

I was just coming in here to post thet this sale has been making me have a moment for 2 days now. I don't know if I can resist. I'm on the site now making a cart I wish they had the JBCO line on the site. Lord halp me

 

[randi415]

I wanted to use the rest of my SM $2 off coupons during this CVS BOGO sooo I bought
2 Blk Soap rinse out conditioner
1 JBCO Leave in
1 Edge Treatment
SMH I got issues! Not only am I a PJ I get a serious rush on deals like this. I won't need anything during the next session.

 

[Beany]

Gave away mielle organics mint almond oil, Curls blueberry control paste, cantu conditioning creamy leave in, cantu shine and hold mist, and oyin bsp

I guess Im the only one over here not buying stuff huh?!

Don't get me wrong I want some stuff but..... I def need to get rid of some crap first. Plus I went and got my hair braided into a beehive to hide under my wig so I won't be using much up besides spray LI's and oils. Oils aren't on my list because I usually stick to like 3 oils and never seem to over buy.

To answer Pocha's question I work my way down the list based on the oldest items. I feel a certain type of way when I trash something. It has to stink, have mold or something for me to just trash it. Otherwise I feel like I'm losing my money.

I didn't buy anything. I put it out my mind. For now.

 

[ImanAdero]

I soooooo want to buy this Sprout box from SSI... but I won't considering other just purchased items from them during their Easter sale.

So these coming days I'm going to working on using up a leave in, probably my APB small leave in. I also have a spray bottle with conditioner in it. I don't know if I mentioned I used up my Tresemme conditioner and another leave in. Let me make a note and figure out what I said I needed to use up lol.

I think the only thing I bought that wasn't a necessary replacement was the Oscar Blandi heat protectors. That's a major improvement for me. Plus I HAD to buy them. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. Forreal.

 

[ImanAdero]

Ohemgee! I just realized I've been doing a lot better than I thought. I only have two TRUE shampoos left. I have a Bobeam bar (which will last forever) and a Trader Joes Nourish and Spa. I have 3 Co washes one of which is almost gone (AIA coconut cowash) .

I have 4 regular/non Styler leave ins...

And of course many other products... so I think my plan (once I take these twists out), will be to cowash every 3-4 days to get some of these Conditioners and stylers gone.

If I can use up another 2-4 products of any category within the next 2 Months, I'll be a happy camper. I think I'll buy a new shampoo fairly soon, but I'm going to pat myself on the back for now!

LOL, only the strong survive! Don't be I have a list waiting in my Esty care right now, just waiting on the opportunity.

That was for kiddo though huh?

 

[Dayjoy]

That was for kiddo though huh?

Sure was. But I'm not immune to the fact that I use her needs as an excuse to buy products. BUT those cans are about $20 each and I got FOUR for $19. I had to.

 

[Beany]

Used up NO honey creme liquid balm (not sure if this was on my original list)

 

[Beany]

Used up sample of kj naturals stretch and curl custard ( old formula )

 

[B_Phlyy]

I went and renewed my Sally's membership yesterday and they gave me free conditioner.

I'm convinced the universe is conspiring against me.

[faithVA]

I used the CR Curlaide Moistre Butter for my twists Friday. It's OK but doesn't hold moisture in my hair. Taking it to work tomorrow to give it to somebody. Will take it off my list when I get rid of it.

I used the Jessicurl Deep Conditioner on Friday. This is probably the next thing I use up. Not using much of anything else.

 

[randi415]

Gave away
Afro Veda cocoa latte mask
Afro Veda Shea amla
SM curl enhancing smoothie
SM original conditioner
Coco curls styler

Finished
Darcy Botanicals tocuma moisture butter whip
BASK vanilla whiskey soak

 

[faithVA]

Gave away the CR Curlaide. She was glad to have it.

Thinking about joining Session 2 of this challenge. The what's on sale, what did you buy and what are you doing to your hair this weekend threads have been really getting to me. With online shops reformulating, putting our sales and cutting shipping, things have gotten out of hand. There! The first step is admitting it.

 

[Beany]

Gave away 2 curl prep sweet buttahs.

I'll be down to just staples after next session...hopefully

I was good too until I finished half my stash. I actually borrowed my current conditioner from my daughter's stash... I was doing so well that I thought I could just buy a few here and there... nope. Now I gotta join session 2

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Only staple I might run out of is Aphogee 2 Min. I'll get that before Session 2 and then no no no more buying. That means saying no to Mother's day and 4th of July Sales.

The WHITE are empties
The GREY are what I am focusing on... I have combined them into my old HH conditioner pump so technically the TJ's container are gone....

 

[divinerae]

With the help of my darling daughter the Shea Moisture mousse is gone. She was sad when I told her that was the only one. She was like "but you have two of everything!!!!"

 

[faithVA]

Gave away the Jessicurl Too Shea to my coworker. Now I can focused on some other stuff.
