Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

Hello bellas!!!!

Well I have been away for a while trying to get settled up. So as you may know I had all of my BF purchases shipped to my new address here in GA...which I'm not technically staying at because my furniture is not here...:wallbash: So I go over to the house to like clean ("they" cleaned; but before any of my stuff touches anythng in there.. I have to clean it myself)... so I'm like where is my ****... I saw some shipping notices in transit. Some other things I ordered shipped... so I'm like okkkkkkkk....UPS packages check... Fedex check... where is my USPS stuff... so finally I figure out that they leave a key in your mailbox when you have parcels.... you use that key to open a bigger mailbox that stores parcels... Diff-icult... my at home (sniff sniff) leaves it on the porch if its not raining and leaves a "sorry we missed you card" to come pick it up at the post office.

So I had TONS of goodies when I opened that box....

Brendita's
Christine Gant
Beija Flor?

Brendita's... I knocked over like a plastic cup in a windstorm :lachen:... I had so much stuff... it was like Christmas literally.. Mama Fab was just shaking her head saying a prayer for the amount of stuff that I ordered...

I haven't used anything; but first observations...
I LIKE HER y'all! She had a personalized note to me about being out of a fragrance and she upsized something because of that it was gonna send me the fragrance when she got it... I was like yes. All of the stuff was packaged so neat and cute. I guess purple is her color... I cannot wait to try like ALL of it... Mama Fab was trying to slide stuff in her purse...I had to treat her like the crack cutters in New Jack City....like hands above the table at all times.... lol... :lachen: I am DYING...literally DYING...literally can't wait to get my mama on this plane so I can get that jojoba cleansing milk into my hair ... When I review it.. I'll try to condense it. I got a milion things..literally .. the only thing I was not feeling was the deodorant that comes in scented and unscented... I was not feeling the scented.maybe she can change that for me down the road. Plus I got the conditioning cap which is gonna come in handy because my standing dryer is still in the glove (MI).

Christine Gant - Oh my gosh... Just as classy as her etsy store... very neatly packaged. I ordered the two big sample kits. She had all natural boxes and the recycled crinklies... I loved her bottles and things. I smelled the hibiscus oil and I really liked it.

Beija Flor - Hmm... came in a 3M bag (I package my BKT samples better than this.) No invoice or nothing... just here it is. I got coco mango souffle...I tried it. In love. Mama made me scrape off a corner to put in foil for her to take with her. I guess the other stuff in the bottle is the creme brulee...which for some reason I thought would be thinner...it looked like a butter in a bottle...hmm...this may be on the exchange board... gotta see how I'mma use this.

Still waiting on...

Darcy's - but received shipping notice
Shescentit
Jasmine's - I am surprised...they must've really knocked her over because I ordered on Thanksgiving day.
Hairveda!!! (how could I forget this one???)

I think there was some other folks...but it is a blur..... :look:

Awwwww, sounds like fun Fab! I can't wait to start getting all my stuff too.

So it's been 1 whole week since I used any shampoo. My hair feels and looks different. My coils are clumping together much more nicely and my hair LOOKS moisturized, usually it only feels moisturized :)

Last night I mixed some of that Jessie curl conditioner with EVCO, I used equal parts of both. I swear, I heard my scalp and hair sigh. I didn't even need any moisturizer last night, that would have been overdoing it, so I just sealed with avocado oil.

This week, I should use up the rest of my Cantu shea butter and 1 bottle of Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz leaving one more bottle :rolleyes:

I won't repurchase either, they are both good products but I preferred the Cantu when I was relaxed and the KCSS was replaced by Curls moisturizer.

This upcoming week is gonna be CRAZY :nono: I have finals and my job is winding down for the holidays. Plus there are several parties, both at work and outside of work, that I promised I would show my face at. I love this time of year, but dang if I'm not exhausted when it's over.
 
I forgot to mention I did not have to buy from Nouvelle. Someone came in at the last minute :grin:. I did a last minute buy from Sunshine last Sunday and the order has shipped. I got two of her whipped shea butters. I'm really going to work on finally deciding on my butters & pomades and cowash condishes during this 6 months because that's what I will be restocking in June. I finished my jojoba butter today. This will be a repurchase in June.
 
Almost Afternoon Ladies!!:hiya2:

I thought my Afroveda might have come in yesterday since I didn't check my mail (no such luck) Maybe tomorrow. Re: Hairveda, I'll see it when I see it (and I'm okay with that).:look: No Worries there.

I whipped up my Super Growth Aid Mixture (uh..oh..stand back Che:lachen: I know you're sccurrrd:lachen:) which consists of Mega-Tek, a squirt of conditioner and JBCO.

Planning this week's wash day. I know I'll be Clarifying. It seems like I will use up the Remainder of my Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner.

I thought I had lots, lots more in the Jar than I actually did.:perplexed
 
My daughter threw up this morning so I am praying that she isn't really sick and that none of the rest of us are either.

I went to the Christine Grant site and will be ordering several things tomorrow. It seems as though she is out of a lot of stuff because I don't see some of the things on the site that are on the review thread. Maybe when I check tomorrow she will have added more things.

This is it girl. I want to get some stuff for my mom and mother in law for Christmas. I went to the mall yesterday and vowed that would be my last time hitting the mall before Christmas. Everything else is coming from the internet. I think I am going to buy them some soap bars and maybe the body butter. I wanted to spray moisturizer but she only had one in stock. Maybe there will be more tomorrow.

Girl, Didn't You Read Da' Post??????????????:nono:

FAB BOUGHT IT ALL!!!!!!:lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
I think this is the fluffiest, softest, creamiest shea butter I have ever had the pleasure to know! :love:

ButtersNBars, you've done it again.
 
Sorry I have been away all weekend, I was busy busy busy!

I used JC for my weekly wash. I shampooed with the moisturizing shampoo, it wasn't very moisturizing. I used the Conditioner as a DC. It smelled really good and replenished the moisture that was taken away with the shampoo. Then I used the leave-in and the Sculpt and Define to twist with. I used the Nourish and Shine on my ends. My hair looks and feels nice and moisturized. My twists unraveled a little bit though.

So....Overall, Are you Pleased with the Products?:look:

Shampoo's are such a Crap Shoot.:nono: The only one I've ever purchased that was really, really good was the Emu Oil Shampoo by HairStimulator. It was incredibly moisturizing for a "Shampoo":lick:

Like I was telling the Ladies, Last Night, I'm glad I didn't heavily $ invest in Shampoos, because I've have henced switched strictly to Co-Washing only using a Clarifying 'Poo.

I love the bolded. I don't buy soaps, bath bombs or bathmelts from the UK. They are comparable in price to the US shops and they just take up space in regards to the 2 kilo or less for 7.95 pounds.

I don't like the shower gels because they have sulfates, and sulfates make me itchy, I wish that I did though because they smell so good!

Gurl you pimpin with the Gorgeous...ballin!

Yeah they are alright. I really like the conditioners. The Condition and Sculpt I can do without and the Nourish and Shine is too expensive!

That was one person ain't no yall to it,:look::lachen:.
 
Why do I already have a short list of new things I want to try? Kinky Curly Knot Today and Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic.

I tried Giovanni's Magnetic Reconstructing Condish on Monday. I actually used it as a dc. I like the thickness. I like the smell even though I can't tie it to a particular scent. It's a keeper. The only thing is that bottle. Between this one and the Direct Leave In bottle (although I will be moving to the liter soon which has a pump) I will get carpal tunnel. There is this particular spot on the bottle that I push with my thumb.
