2016 Use Up The Stash Challenge

[Dayjoy]

We finished up a bottle of Daily Defense Tender Apple rinse out.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up APB Ayurvedic Hair Cream, Carol's Daughters Hair Mimosa, and Alikay Naturals Carribean Coconut Conditioner.

ETA: Haven't bought anything

 

[trclemons]

Used up QB Cocoa Tree.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Still protective styling with twists, finished up my Curls Blueberry Bliss Control Jelly. It was okay but not a repurchase. Since I am in twists I did purchase a leave in spray - Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave in Conditioner.

 

[faithVA]

Put all of the Creme of Nature Leave-in, in my spray bottle. It's not used up yet but getting close. It will definitely be gone by years end.

I was out of rinse out conditioner to use with my color so I bought a bottle of the generic Nexxus conditioner from Sally's.

I've been working away at the Teraveda Organix Carmeltini, Twist & Define Creme and the butter. Praying it will be gone my 12/31.

My sample stash keeps growing though.

 

[CodeRed]

My sample stash keeps growing though.

That's not a bad thing. At least they're just samples. People (in the past, me included) be piling up multiples of full sized products they haven't even tried yet

Instead of buying detanglers and moisturizing sprays, I'm using up any conditioners that I'm struggling to finish by throwing it in a water bottle, adding some essential oils and shake it up and go. I am determined to use up my stash and this idea has been a big help.

Coming to the end of my Alter Ego nequal drops and trying to finish up my Oyin Hair dew.

That's a good idea. Unfortunately, I have about 12 bottles of sprays to get through before I can start doing this.

[faithVA]

I have been wearing twist outs for a week. Have been using Ali kay Naturals Creme Brulee for twisting because it doesn't have glycerin. In the future I will be more cognizant of what has glycerin and only buy products with glycerin for protective styles.

I went through my stash and gave away barely used products to my newly natural friends and I made little sample containers of large products that are taking me forever to use up. This put a dent in my stash.

I'd like to start the new year with minimal products.

 

[BrownSkinPoppin]

Used up all of my almond oil

 

[B_Phlyy]

I returned 3 Shea Moisture products to Target.

What an excellent idea!

What an excellent idea!

I bought DD the TGIN Twist and Define Cream last month. She HATED it because it flaked all over the place and she said she didn't like the way her hair felt using it so I got her staple again, Cantu Argan Oil Leave In. I didn't want to use the TGIN myself because of the coconut oil, which I'm eliminating from my own hair care regimen, and it was too expensive to throw away, so I RETURNED it. I'm so happy I did. Got my $15.52 back. Also, I bought a sample size of SM Coconut and Hibiscus shampoo. I share shampoo with the rest of the family (DD, DH, and DS) and since I'm down to my last CON Argan poo from before the formula change, I'm keeping that only for myself until it's gone (#selfish). After it's gone we will all be using SM Argan poo.

 

[trclemons]

I used up As I Am Coconut CW & SM Fruit Fusion Crème Rinse.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Used up:

1x- SheScentIt Avocado Condish

 

[faithVA]

Used up the Teraveda Organix Carmeltini. I really had to be heavy handed to use it up. I blow dried with the Nubian Heritage Wrap Foam. Not sure if I will use it up before the end of the year. It contains glycerin. Why put glycerin in a setting foam?

Anyway. I'm going to twist with the Teraveda Twist Creme and use the butter on my ends. I'm still trying to use this twist creme up by the end of the year.

 

[uofmpanther]

Giving my daughter my Silk Dreams who's that Curl balm

 

[morgandenae]

Used up Oyin Honey Hemp & SheScentIt Okra Reconstructor (not in original list).

Will only wash once more this year so that will be it. 38/40 products used this year which is not too bad.

Also, only purchased from one place BF/CM (SSI). Super proud of myself. I still want to buy stuff I just realize I don't need it. I think Ive been delivert for product junky-ism! Now to get through the damage


ALL IN FOR 2017

 

[trclemons]

Used up QB Amla & Olive and Avon's Damage Repair.

 

[uofmpanther]

I just poured the last of my Avocado Oil into my Oil Mix jar. It took 4 years, but I finally used it up!

 

[uofmpanther]

I am tossing out the two Dollar Tree Conditioners I bought. They make my scalp inch and don't detangle well.

My Silk Dreams almond buttercream should be done this week. I have a fingertip left.
