2016 Use Up The Stash Challenge

[trclemons]

I used up my Dark & Lovely Au Naturale Gelee. I had 17 products targeted for this month, but I only got through 13 of them.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I finished off a sample size of OGx Coconut Water shampoo. It was pretty good but not enough for me to repurchase over something else.

So I totally fell off of the challenge But I'm jumping back in and recommitted to finishing strong. I just donated about 10 unopened/unused products so here's my new list of my stash. I'm separating it by brand. I have a protective style in at the moment and will be taking it out in two weeks. I think I'm going to focus on the Deva Curl products first and then move to products that are half way done. Going to try and do a strict no buy until black friday

The Body Shop had a 40% off sale with free shipping and I fell off the wagon, but I only purchased 1 of their best seller 8 oz. banana conditioners for $4.80.

 

[trclemons]

I don't know what is happening. Inahsi just sent an email offering 1 free 2 oz sample with free shipping. I had absolutely no resistance in me for all of that "freeness", so I ordered a free sample of their curling custard.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I threw away the last of my Annabelle Perfect Blends Leave in Conditioner and Cupaccu Avocado Daily Moisturizer. While, I enjoy the products, the particular scent I chose gives me a headache I noticed.

 

[trclemons]

Used up Zero% & Shea Moisture Black Soap Balancing Conditioners.

 

[uofmpanther]

Used up my Giovanni conditioner

 

[trclemons]

Finished Cozy Moments Vanilla Waffle Cone Liquid Protein Leave In.

 

[trclemons]

Used up my Embrace The Natural You Trinity Glaze.

I don't have a large stash but I'm ready to be back in this challenge. I love using things up and I haven't achieved minimizing my stash like I want.

[BrownSkinPoppin]

Used up 2 VO5 shampoos. I try to only use them for my wigs but I only had a little left so I just used them up. Also used up my Miss Jessie's Quick Curls. I don't think I added this to my list because I only use it when I wear my heat free hair wig which isn't often.

The Miss Jessie's was good but too expensive. I'm gonna have to find another curl definer for my natural hair wig.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I noticed my Aunt Jackie's Gel turned a little yellow so I had it well over a year so I threw it away. It's a decent gel but I probably won't repurchase since I want to try the wetline gel.

 

[morgandenae]

Only used up SM Moisture Retention Shampoo and J Monique's Ital Soy & Neem Butter.

Added a lot more than that

This stash ... this stash ...

 

[BrownSkinPoppin]

Had to add two items to my stash because I started the maximun hydration method on Sunday and had to get a leave in conditioner and a botanical gel. I got the As I Am leave in and Curls gel.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I recently purchased one of the Garnier Whole Blends conditioner. I didn't have any other instant conditioners to co wash with.

 

[uofmpanther]

My Carol's Daughter shampoo is neverending. If I wasn't reducing my stash, I'd be happy about it Hopefully, I will finish it off this week.

 

[trclemons]

Listen Linda, I have been seduced yet again.

• Last week, KJ Naturals had a certain percentage off with free shipping and I ended up with 2 DCs I wanted to try.
• Then, talks of HydroQuench possibly going out of business caused me to push the panic button and buy something while the 40% off and BOGO sale was still going. It has been a nightmare with this vendor, but I finally received 2 leave-ins, 2 twisting butters & 2 CWs. One of the CW's was not what I ordered, so I may have another one coming in the mail.

But, I am back on the wagon and hopefully I will not get off again.

I purchase Silk Dreams products a little while ago, and forgot. The box is in, so I'll update my stash.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Today was wash day and I finished up three products: Deva Curl Super Cream, Set it Free Spray and Ultra Defining Gel. I like the Super Cream and Gel but probably won't repurchase due to price.

Also gifted the Karen Body's Beautiful Leave In conditioner to my mom. It didn't do a darn thing for my thick/coarse hair but maybe it will work on a fine hair texture.

 

[trclemons]

I used up my Entwine DC.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up most of my DB Leave In and Twist Cream. My sister all of a sudden needed more moisturizer when my APB order came in this morning so I threw her these and told her to holla at me when they done. She aint slick.

Will count those as a Use Up since I used majority of them up first.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Only knocked out one product during a quick wash and styling, Finished up my Extra Butter from Uncle Funky Daughter. On the fence about repurchasing, I like it but not sure if its a staple.

 

[trclemons]

Finished Parnevu T-Tree Cream Glosser.

 

[morgandenae]

Used up my APB Blueberry Deep Conditioner and gave my sister the rest of my Cantu Coconut Cream.

She steady begging but at least she's helping my get through some thangs

 

[trclemons]

Used up my Jakeala Pineapple Protein Spray.
