2017 Use Up The Stash Challenge

[B_Phlyy]

I won't be finishing anything else this year so I'll be posting my empties on Wednesday or Thursday.

 

[trclemons]

I finished off the V05 Extra Body Conditioner & Embrace The Natural You Leave In Conditioner.

 

[uofmpanther]

Gave away my Supercream because my hair flaked. I'm calling the As I Am Curling Jelly done because there is only a little bit left and it is too liquid to do anything with it.

 

[uofmpanther]

I gave my MIL a mielle organics deep conditioner

 

[trclemons]

I received my last BF order yesterday, so I'm adding the Cream & Coco Marshmallow Cowash Fluff to my stash & I may be able to get rid of a couple more products before 2017 is over.

 

[uofmpanther]

I gave my mom one of my Embrace the Natural You creams, which brings me to my goal.

 

[Dayjoy]

I finished up the Aveda Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss. I bought Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair conditioner.

 

[trclemons]

I bought some Chi Heat Protectant and I finished off Motions Heat Styled Cleanser & Twisted Sista Blow Drying Crème.

Explain what system you will use to update your list (i.e., different colors/symbols to denote used/purchased items or items added from your current stash): Products in red will denote ones that have been used, given away or repurposed, products in #green will denote purchased products (the # will identify purchased products if the color changes), products in *blue will denote products that have been added from my current stash (the * will identify purchased products if the color changes), and products in purple will denote products that I am targeting to use up for the year. I will also include the dates used, given away, repurposed, purchased or added in parentheses.

Session 4 followup:
I had a pj moment and bought another dc, tgin Honey Miracle Repair Mask. I also decided to re-enter the two tubes of Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight to my stash since they haven’t sold on the exchange board and we are blow drying more now.

I used up 6 items and gave away 1.
I bought 5 items (one was a reup) and reclaimed 2.

Moving on to the new thread.

ETA: I just remembered that I bought Jamaican Mango & Lime JBCO Rosemary. Adding that.

 

[xu93texas]

Session 4 update/December:
I used up Shescentit Moisture Mist, Shescentit Papaya Hydrate Mask, and CRN Cocoa Nibs/Honey growth serum.
I gave away CRN Revitalizing Leave in conditioner, SSI Sugar Peach conditioner to my boys/hubby, and Silk Elements Hair Mayonnaise.
I trashed a can of Isoplus Holding Spray.

I have six products from 2017 that will be carried over to the 2018 challenge:
CRN Sweet Ginger Cleansing Rinse
Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm
Shescentit Ginger and Green Tea Cowash
CRN Moisture Milk
Mielle Organics Honey and Ginger styling gel
Wetline Extreme Styling gel

I won't include oils anymore in future challenges. I purchase these oils on a continuous basis throughout the year.
