PJ's CHALLENGE: Just USE IT UP!!!

[B_Phlyy]

It counts that you used it up - Congrats on that!
But to repurchase a staple, Honeydew is gonna have to use up or get rid of the other heat protectant - should not have 2 types of the same product for the same purpose at one time.
JUST KIDDING!!! (about the whip but not the rule )

Aww man, I've been messing up then.

I'm not taking the new products back to the store though.

 

[LovelyLionessa]

I was wondering where you have been. Good seeing you! (I have never heard of that new Leave-in Cream.

Priestess.......I just pulled out a bottle of suave shampoo for hand soap. I dont know why I have that anyway! I dont use suave shampoos???? The PJ in me must have saw it on a really really good sale!

Yay, you go girl, use it up! I here ya, there is something agonizingly irresistable about buying a full sized haircare product for a 79 cents (or less.) :eyebrows2

It's hard for us thrifty pjs to just say no!

And I KNOW that is what happened. lol SALE! I was going through my products to decide what I am going to use up next and save the suave poo. I really was thinking, when did I buy this one???

 

[Tee]

Oh shoot! I almost forgot.

I gave away a product today. My boyfriend uses the Pantene Smoothing Leave-in. I gave my bottle of that to him this morning. I use another leave-in now and that one was just collecting dust. He gladly took it off my hands today. Now more room in the medicine cabinet.

Also, 2 of our LHCF sisters took 6 Hennalucent Neutral boxes off my hands.

There you go! You are on whirl now!

 

[Healthb4Length]

I finally got a chance to use up some of my products and I gave away about 10 or so different shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers that I didn't want to friends. I mixed up some of my expensive conditioners that were so-so with castor oil, kiwi oil, and silk proteins and created some super conditioners. I've been using them as my pre-poo treatments and my hair just loves it! I haven't been perfect though, I did slip up and ordered some NEW stuff that was totally worth it. I re-ordered my staples because I ran out...but I ordered more than I needed...I've been good for the past 3 ok 2 weeks.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Found a new use for shampoo... laundry detergent! I swear, my clothes smelled so good and felt so soft when I used it last night.

I would only recommend using it for heavy clothes, like jeans and sweaters though.

Good idea! I've been using cheapie conditioners as body conditioners and then rinse off in the shower...works great!

Okay, Thursday I got some free samples of Sunsilk Anti-Poof line. Friday I bought White Rain Apple Blossom and V05 Tea Therapy Vanilla Mint Tea conditioners and put in an order for some sulfur powder.

Last night I finished off a bottle of John Freida Radiant Red shampoo.

Good job on using up the JF Radiant.

Looks like you were out of your CO wash conditioners, huh. Free samples, can't beat that!

 

[Tee]

Nothing new for me yet.

Me either
On the good side though, I haven't had to buy anything new

 

[Artemis]

I was wondering where you have been. Good seeing you! (I have never heard of that new Leave-in Cream.

Basically it's Herbal Essences version of Garnier's L & S leave-in creme...It has the same purpose--a daily moisturizer.

I think I may give away some more items, because I'm not really making a big dent in my stash...Ehh, I don't like to quit when I intend to do something (like use up a particular product) so I'll think a/b it...

I am far from being out of co washing conditioners. I was just bored while in the store during a sale.

Over the past week, I finished my bottle of CON Nourishing conditioner and a bottle of Nexxus Aloe Rid Shampoo. Last night I threw away a bottle Pantene R & N of shampoo because it went bad (I could tell by the scent). I'm debating on whether or not to throw out my Suave Citrus Smoothie shampoo. There seems to be a white residue on the bottom, but it actually may just be the bottle and not the shampoo.

Over the past 3 days though, I purchased some Africa's Best Organics Olive Oil cream, a bottle of sulfur, some castor oil, some Sweet Oil, and a bottle of Organics Vanilla Silk Conditioner. The oils, cream, and sulfur are going to be mixed together to make one product though.

The conditioner I just bought because I love the scent of vanilla.

 

[adw425]

I finished up some stuff, sold some and gave a bit away, but then I back-slid -- alot....I bought five bottles of Dominican rinses from Sickbay -- two avocado, two olive oil and one aloe. I bought three one liter bottles of LaBella Banana and Rainforest Water conditioner, one bottle of Organix vanilla silk serum, 16 ounces of emu oil, 16 ounces of babassu oil, 16 ounces of palm oil and eight ounces of sulfated castor oil, in addition to three bottles of Jamaican Black Castor Oil and three bottles of Aveda Elixir. I still have plenty of room in my cabinets, but not as much as before this big lapse.

 

[texasqt]

I think I'm going to start washing more than once a week so I can USE IT UP!!!

 

[LovelyLionessa]

This morning I washed and used up the following:
Lustrasilk Herbal Liquid Conditioner
Suave Toasted Vanilla Sugar Conditioner
VO5 Tea Therapy Shampoo (This I used to get some stains off my hands and shower floor from my Aveda Black Malva conditioner!)

 

[BrownBetty]

Today, wash day, I finished:

Giovanni's conditioners:

50/50
tea tree
nutrifix

Elucence conditioner

I am going to replace the elucence this is my staple!!

Which scent did you use? I have 2, but I think that they have more that I would like to ummm..., look at.

 

[tnorenberg]

I have two techniques I like:
1) Use my cheap shampoos as body washes and bath gels as well,
2) Refill my DH's shampoos & cond w/ mine. I think he actually prefers mine anyway.

 

[Brees_hair]

To get rid of the conditioners that I have, and I do have alot, I mix them with jamaican black castor oil or EVOO and despite the conditioners orignial claims, my hair always comes out soft and bouncy. I now only use garlic conditioner, silicon mix and many of the nacidit products. Mixing doesnt do anything negative to my hair. I have thick, stubborn hair so it appreciates any natural moisture to it.

[sareca]

I just used up a bunch of staples. Nexxus Humectress, Salerm 21, DL Olive Oil, and StyleOne Moisturizing Conditioner are all empty. They are also part of my regular rotation (meaning they work about the same I just switch them up for the sake of doing so). Qhemet is also in that rotation but I have a full bottle of it so I'm going refrain from repurchasing the others until I've completely used up the Qhemet.

I know we're allowed to repurchase staples but 5 is just excessive. erplexed

You're right there are a few different kinds. The one I used today was this, the Tea Therapy:

Then there is another one that I may have only see once, maybe at Brooks, it's kinda rare, it has White Tea in it.

Now there is also a new version out in a white bottle called Vanilla Mint, CVS always has it.

I will have to see about the second one, I think I have the first one. I have the Vanilla Mint Tea, the shampoo and conditioner, but I haven't used them yet.
