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

[Soul♥Flower]

I've been mixing my sucky conditioners together. Then I recycle the bottles becuase it makes me feel less like a "waster". LoL. I gave the stuff that I just WILL NOT finish up, to my mother (she doen't know any better, she uses soap to wash her hair. So, I'm helping HER out). I can't wait until my "supply closet" whittles down, because I'm so sick of looking at all these conditioners. However, I can't seem to stop buying more soo.....I think I might really have a problem.
<---Me and my favorite conditioner. LOL!

lol at the bold. You gotta help moms out!

I picked up some C-Pak at the mall. I feel off the wagon ladies. I am back on. I just couldn't wait until I finished up the last of the Dudley Mask. (I will repurchase that. It's some good stuff!)

We need to keep this thread on the first page or something, because without it, I usually go crazy. Last week, I bought

CON shampoo (green label)
Africa's Best Organics Hair Mayo
Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol
Sample of Ion Effective Care Treatment

Used up a bottle of Pantene Relaxed and Natural shampoo. I'm almost finished with my ORSTB and Baby Love Detangler. I threw away a jar of gel and 2 heat protectant creams. Tomorrow I'm going to take a 2 shampoos and a moisturizer to my friend.

You are definitely right about that. I had a relapse myself and I don't even remember what I bought. I just know Sally got some of my money after the first.

Good news! I finally finished a bottle of Aphogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair but I still have CON, Keracare, Aphogee Evening Primrose and another Aphogee bottle to go. This ain't easy!!!

 

[LovelyLionessa]

I fell off the wagon today too! I bought a shampoo & conditioner set of the new Organix Coconut Milk line.

This week I did use up a lot of stuff though, my staple products like TJ Nourish Spa conditioner, BB Oil Moisturizer, LeKair Cholesterol and White Rain Tropical Coconut conditioner. I am trying to work off my VO5 conditioners, I finished a bottle of Kiwi & Lime Squeeze this week too. I find it makes an excellent shave cream.

Hi Ladies!!

Just dropping in to report that I've used up 2 deep conditioners on Sat (Lustrasilk Mango and Elasta QP DPR-11), one of which will not be repurchased. (Elasta was ok, but I'm not a big fan of a petroleum based conditioner ) I still have a back-up jar of Lustrasilk, so I'm still in the game. I hadn't been to the BSS in a MONTH and a HALF, but this Fri. I stopped by to get a pack of rollers (I'm still attempting the rollerset thing.) But other than that, looks like the PJ in me has left the building .

Happy Using it Up, chicas

 

[B_Phlyy]

Last night I finished up the ORS Temple Balm. Desperately trying to finish the Baby Love.

Found another use for unwanted shampoo - Floor cleaner. Mix it with a little bleach and your floor will glean and smell great. No streaks either.

 

[texasqt]

As we are using it up, we're suppose to (hopefully) find our staples. Are you guys having any luck or are you still on the search?

Yes, I have found that I MUST keep some Dudley hair mask in the house at all time! I forgot how much I love that stuff! I also found out that Vitapointe cream is really really good also! I not sure if it's a staple or not yet, but I really enjoy. (it smells just a lil strange.)

Letitia, hey! what is this dudley hair mask and what does it do? why do you like it so much?, and last ,where can find it!?

Since I've joined this challenge, I've used up:
1 bottle coconut Suave
1 bottle sugar and vanilla Suave
1 bottle of Suave Biobasics
1 bottle of CON
1 bottle of Kid's Organic Detangler

I purchased:
Aphogee 2 min
Pantene Breakage Defense (tube)
Know Gelatin (I want to see how this works as protein tx)

 

[GoldenBreeze]

I forgot to post that I finished a tub of Miss Keys 10 en 1, but I still have 2 tubs left. I love this stuff; however, want to try Silicon Mix when I've finished the other 2 tubs. I haven't been to Sally's in over a month. This weekend I will need to buy some Suave Tropical Coconut, because I only have 1/2 bottle left and that's not enough for one wash.

 

[Healthb4Length]

I've finished the following conditioners Aphrodite's Olive Hair Mayo, Nacadit's Mixed Conditioner. I still have some more Alter Ego, Affirm 5 in 1 and Lust Hot Oil Treatment. I still have my standbys and I purchased some KeraCare Humecto in Tub and I will be adding this as apart of my rotation. I also got some BBD Stretch which will remain apart of my rotation, I'm interested in trying some Dominican rinses since I'm currently in braids and don't want to use conditioners that are too heavy.

 

[cutiebe2]

I used up one of my conditioners and two trial size shampoo/conditioners I brought
I kept the trial size bottles so I can use them when going away. I am sooo happy!!! Hopefully I will have used up this bottle of Nature's Gate condish in another month

 

[LovelyLionessa]

Last night, I used up a tub of Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol and a bottle of Suave Milk & Honey conditioner.

 

[BrownBetty]

I haven't used up nada... such a mess. I did buy a 1/2 gallon of Elucence conditioner, I am almost out. Since I use it as DC and a leave in I didn't want to be stranded scraping the bottom of the bottle.

I have used up anything either! I am almost out of the Vitapointe Cream.
I am going to put myself in the corner. I went to the India Mart and got some more oils. From Sareca raves, I had to buy virgin Coconut oil, and I somehow stumbled in the Aveda store and picked up the Brilliant Serum. Man, the Aveda was so good and just calling my name. I just couldn't help it. I knew better than to go in the mall!!!
*off to sit in the corner for acting up.* (but you all know I love my oils!)

 

[B_Phlyy]

Last night I finished up a bottle of Herbal Essence conditioner and tomorrow I should be finished with my Baby Love detangling spray. Today I got full sized sample of Profectiv Neutralizing Shampoo Color Mousse.

So that brings my total of used up and given away products to 34 and I've only purchased and recieved 19. So I think I'm doing pretty good.

Um... I hope you're out of the corner.

OT: And congrats for reaching BSL. You snuck that in on your siggy without a word.

Last Sunday I used up a bottle of Loreal Vive conditioner (the one for medium hair - the only one w/o glycerin). I love that stuff.

Last night I started on a bottle of Herbal Essences Citrus Lift. Why I bought 2 of those from the clearance bin at K-mart - don't ask. I was all up in that bin like :eyebrows2

The bottle is only 5 oz so I will be done with it soon. Smells good, though. I love the way my hair smells today. Too bad they discontinued it.

I also finished up the last of my last dozen box of Fermodyl 619 ampoules. That is a staple product though so I am not sure those count for this. I will always buy more of those. (I have 2 more of those dozen boxes in my PJ closet )

I still have to try this out.

Dang, I cant control it lately. I need to drop out. I am getting all F's lately in the 'use it challenge.'

Oh, I was heated when they discontinued this stuff. It wasn't even out that long, but I loved it to death.

And you're right, you'll run right through that stuff. My hair is not even necklength and that bottle lasted all of a week.

Well, we can be flunk buddies together. I used up the Baby Love Detangler this morning, only to buy 2 Kids Organics products as soon as I left the house.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Bumping for Nyi-Nyi and any other new PJ's.

Haven't finished anything new, but I'm halfway through my Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner. I also think I will be giving away most of my shampoos to my best friend and her family.

Yeah, we welcome our new member Nyi-Nyi...

Fellow pjs, I just want to remind everyone, if you have a change of heart over products you can do the following:

If it's from Sally's you can return a product used or unused and with a receipt get your money back, without a receipt, recieve store credit.

When returning unused products to Wal-Mart, you can bring it back with or without a receipt and receive cash back.

These store policies have really helped me out in a pj pinch. Items that I impulsively bought or products that went on sale and thought I had to have in multiples, I was able to return, no problemo.

Also, an LHCFer mentioned in this thread that she uses cheapie conditioner as a "body conditioner." I started doing that and it really works! This is a great wait to use conditioner up, and you could even skip body lotion when doing this!

Have fun ladies, using it up!

 

[Artemis]

I just used up Motions Nourish LIC over the weekend This use it up thing is getting fun, lol.

I can't wait to finish Motions CPR in the bottle so I can try out Nexxus' phyto organics reconstructor (y'all know the one--I can't remember the name just now). I figure since I just decided to tack an extra 4 wks onto my stretch I might get to try it out right after my next relaxer...here's hoping .
