2016 Use Up The Stash Challenge

[trclemons]

I'm purging this weekend. If I haven't used it in a month into the trash it goes. I need simplicity and less clutter.

You are brave. I cannot bring myself to throw anything away and I have a hard time giving anything away. My name is Tonja and I am a product hoarder.

As well as Alikay Naturals Essential 17 oil sometime last week .

 

[uofmpanther]

Used up a Hairveda Acai Phyto Berry Conditioner. I love this stuff!

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up one Annabelle perfect blends leave in conditioner this week and got rid of an oil and daily refresher because the scent kept giving me headaches.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Used up Oscar Blandi Treatment Balm. It was okay. Would never buy again.

 

[trclemons]

I finished the Alikay Caribbean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Conditioner tonight.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Finished up My Design Essentials Natural Curlforming custard. Loved it for coil outs on my sides which I had a short tea but now that my hair is longer it does nothing for me. Won't repurchase.

 

[trclemons]

Today, I used up Treluxe Untie the Knot, Queens of Curls Safflower Oil & Oyin Honey Hemp. I may be able to finish up 2 more products by Monday, but Tuesday at the latest.

 

[trclemons]

I finished off 1 more product and that will do it for this month and I also added 3 more products to the list.

I have already changed the color on the products I will target in March (12 products), so I am ready to go....

 

[B_Phlyy]

I got some free Paul Mitchell samples from the hotel we stayed in over the weekend. Normally I'd leave them but... I couldn't turn down Paul Mitchell lol.

 

[trclemons]

I finished Jakeala Flax Mallow Conditioner tonight.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

So far so far this week, I finished up a pudding from Annabelles. Think I'll be done with the Shea moisture Cowash next.

 

[trclemons]

I used up my Carefree Gold tonight.

 

[Vshanell]

Shea moisture is about to mess up all my progress! Only thing that stopped me from doing major damage is cuz I couldn't get my Ulta cart to act right with the BOGO 50. Sigh, I still can't stop thinking about the products I wanted.

I haven't used up anything in a long time. I've been in roller sets and I don't use much products in those. It'll be warm soon so I can get back to work.

 

[Vshanell]

Oh and I forgot I bought a 2 pack of Aussie 3 minute cuz it was on sale for $2. I couldn't pass it up. Been wanting to try it for so long.

OAN: I finished my Spectrum Coconut Oil.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

I finished up APB's strengthening deep conditioner. I love seeing the free space now in my stash closet, lol

 

[B_Phlyy]

I bought some Shea Moisture on clearance at Target. The prices were better than BOGO sales. I couldn't resist.

Thanks for telling me so I can keep my butt out of Target. I have been itching to buy something and I am fighting to have several seats and not make that move. Lord, help me!!!

 

[trclemons]

I used up V05 Island Coconut last night. So far, I have used up 27 of the 47 original products on my list and I will probably use up about 5 more items this month.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Finished up my Shea Moisture Hi-po Cowash, it was just okay for me. No plans on repurchasing. also finished Qhermet Biologics Amla and Olive Cream which I will repurchase in the winter.

I bought the shampoo, finished Trader Joes... But I'm going to give it to my mom. She really liked it.

So I need a new shampoo, preferably one on the ground.

Getting my hair done, so I'll work on other products in 2 weeks.
