Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge 2009

[Brownie518]

Will You Repurchase?

Actually, yes! I didn't like this at first but lately it works great on my hair. I use it as a cowash or as a prepoo and I love it. I think the Moisture Madness sale is until Friday so I think I'll get some more. I'm trying not to buy anything this week.
Does anyone use the Amala Creme Rinse from Hairveda?

 

[Charz]

I didn't use up anything this weekend

I have like a 20th of a bottle of Shescentit Jojoba Hemp Shampoo left that I will be done with by the end of the week. I have a backup of that, but I do not think I will be repurchasing.

I will be done with another jar of Vatika Frosting by the end of this week too.

 

[Brownie518]

I have two jars of Vatika Frosting that I can't find! I want to get those and use them up. It's not a definite repurchase. It's just okay. Don't ask me why I have two.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Don't ask me why I have two.

ErrrUmmm..........I think I might be able to answer that!

I use and love the amala cream rinse, its a conditoner but cleanses like a shampoo. It does not lather but it leaves the hair feeling clean and soft. I even can detangle with it. This is my hg shampoo, and 1x a month i use a regular clarifying shampoo. Its thick and the smell is almost similar to the sitrinillah. Ive been using it for about a month, and its consistant.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is Vatika Frosting?

That's ok charz ive only used up 2 products so far, but it gives me inspiration to keep on going. I have never used up a product before this challenge.

 

[Brownie518]

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is Vatika Frosting?

It's from Hairveda.

Ingredients: Coconut oil, Amla extract, Henna extract, Lemon extract, Fragrance.

http://hairveda.com/oils.aspx is the link for the product page


If you do a search for it on here, a LOT of info will come up! It's extremely popular!

 

[Charz]

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is Vatika Frosting?

Its basically glorified Coconut Oil. I wouldn't give it the time of day if it didn't smell so freakin good. It smells like the tastiest, creamiest buttercream cake you have ever smelled. Vatika Frosting is what motivates me to DC in all honesty. I DC just so I can smell it in my hair.....oh man....I would DC every day for that smell.....:blondboob

That's why I have 8 jars on hand right now....don't judge me!

 

[Charz]

If Hairveda or SheScentIt has any Sales over Labor Day.....I will be purchasing some Conditioner.

And Sams247. I am in Love with that Stanky JBCO:fart:

Oh me too! I hope that Vatika Frosting is available so I can buy 10 more! I ordered the amla rinse and the strinillah (sp) that was on sale this week. I just wanna see whats up!

And gurl I don't know how you do it with the JBCO. I tried, I really did. But it made my pillows stanky and I couldn't take it. I even tried dilluting it with regular unscented Castor Oil, but to no avail. I guess I am weak....erplexed

Thank you for that absolutely delicious explanation! About a month ago, I read a couple of threads and I even looked up the website that sells it, but I couldn't understand the allure. Don't me started on the name; it had my mind going . I won't be judging you because you have piqued my curiosity and now I want to try some. Off to Hairveda....

Vatika Frosting is not available right now. It will be available again in September and I'm pretty sure she will have a sale when it comes back.

i finally finished my first bottle of suave tropical coconut. love that stuff and will always repurchase. the thing about the bottle though, is that i thought i had like an ounce or two left but really the bottle was freaking empty. i kept beating it upside down to get it out and then realized nothing was in it.
so now im onto using up my HE hello hydration. i havent used it in so long i forgot how much i love it. not as much as suave coconut, but enough to repurchase. i have about 2 back ups and this bottle is less than half full. after that i will start on using up some vo5(have like 6 bottles) and trader joes nourish spa.

im almost done with my curls milkshake too but its still gonna last me a while because i think im gonna save it to use with the curls whipped cream when it gets cool and i can twist m hair.
im almost finished my jar of coconut oil too but i have a back up. actually i may just buy another jar because the back up i have i use as a moisturizer for my face and i dont wanna use something on my face when my greasy product-y(lol) hands from my hair has been in it.

I used up Shescentit's Green Tea & Avocado Oil today. Matter of fact I'm doing a hot oil treatment right now. I won't repurchase. It's aiight. I need products to call my name. I need to need a product. I get nothing with this one. I have some other Shescentit products that I will be using up also. I'm trying to cut down on the number of vendors I order from too.

That balm that Brownie mentioned maybe calling my name....

I haven't bought a bday present for myself yet bc Folica is out of the PM flat iron that I want. I was contemplating buying a Coach purse but changed my mind. I will wait for the flat iron.

Get it shay, you ladies are doing so good. Im trying not to sound like a broken record.

I am Coach(ed) out. I have Coach purses, wallets, skinnies, mini skinnies, sunglasses. Fortunately for me so is my mom so I get Coach hand me downs too .

Okay looked at the balm Brownie posted about and it's in a bottle not a jar. Not for me. Thank goodness because it is not like I need anything else really.

And Truthfully, I am glad this challenge is lasting until the end of the year. If I keep going this way, I will be very, very, pleased with my progress. And I can start 2010 a little "wiser."

I second that!

Cowashed today and used my Pantene R&N Mask....one more wash and it's gone! I don't think I'll repurchase although my hair did air dry soft. One week it's a miss, the next week it's a so and so/hit. I need products that are consistent. After this is out I might go back to the Lekair Cholesterol then Aussue 3 min miracle THEN YTCa Mask . I have about 4 jars of these and they all expire next year April .

I didn't use anything up yet, but I did go back to Jasmine's and get more Lemon Sugar body frosting, oil, and parfait. I had requested the lemon sugar a couple weeks ago. I love it!!! And the 20% off is still on!!!

Foam lotion? Is it a moisturizer, ive never heard of it before.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Well, I am counting on the next Wash-Day to put me a little closer at using up some items. I know I will use up a pack of Indigo (yes, I have back ups) and Possibly the Emu Oil Conditioner, which will be a repurchase at some point. It's Super Moisturizing. The Emu Oil Shampoo is good too.

I will probably use up the Phytocitrus Masque or close to. But I am not really racing to use up anything especially since I only wash and Deep Condition Once a Week.

I just want to put a huge dent in the Ga-zillion products I have and begin to narrow them down into a nice, neat, managable Stash.

Me and you are >>>>here<<<< We will get there eventually.

 

[Shay72]

T tell me about the Emu Oil Condish, please . Where did you get it? Benefits? TIA.

Whose bright idea was it to buy this big a$$ container of coconut oil ? I'm working on using that up next. I feel I don't need that and vatika frosting. I won't repurchase but it is gonna take a minute to get through it.

I will most likely be using up my ayurvedic butter from Njoi Creations in the morning. I like it--it has a whipped, fluffy consistency, and it is moisturizing. I don't like the smell but ya'll know those powders don't smell too good anyway. I figure I like some of her other products more so I will let this one go.
