Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

[bajandoc86]

I have so much stuff to put away it is insane! Tomorrow will be a long day. I am at work currently doing a 24 hr call - they BEGGED me to come in and do a session. I wasn't going to initially, but they really seemed desperate. Bleh. I could be 3/4 done with cleaning and stuff by now.

I do get a sense of satisfaction seeing all my goodies lined up and stacked away. So that will be my motivation tomorrow.

I still have some APB stuff and my last wig to pick up from the courier's. I will do that on Monday. I have to buy a storage box for my wigs at this point.

This brief no-buy has really curtailed my cravings to purchase stuff. I've been browsing, making carts and browsing some more, but I have little interest in actually buying anything. It's a miracle.

I just finished laying my edges down with the last of a jar of Keracare Edge Tamer and now opening one of my back up jars.

@PJaye
I hear ya'.

Even though I have made several purchases *cough* it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Yeah I got my J. Monique Naturals and Honey Handmade stuff. I'm done. No interest in buying anything else. I think buying the Sarenzo body stuff helped too.

I agree. I thought I'd go all out as usual and I've already skipped multiple carts I would have normally purchased.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

So Here's What I Ended Up with (so far):
Texture Me Natural
Hairveda
Sarenzo
Honey Handmades
Xtreme Wetline Gel

 

[rileypak]

So I picked up:
APB (90% bath/body products & gifts for others)
Wetline Extreme Professional Gel
Hydroquench Systems
Sarenzo (99% body products)
CurlMart
Ulta
Sams Beauty

Walked away from SSI, Naturelle Grow, Soultanicals, Bee Mine, Hairveda, and face products carts.
Did surprisingly good! One NB down so far and starting to mentally prepare myself for the next one

I'm contemplating getting TGIN Green Tea Leave In. We shall see.

I like that leave in but that bottle it's in is the worst to me! I normally don't find bottled packaging to be a problem but man....
It's just too hard to squeeze the product out of the TGIN bottle

You and @IDareT'sHair complaining about that bottle is the main thing holding me back. I'm using a sample right now so its easy.

I say give it a try. You may not find it as difficult.
If I repurchase it again, I'm rebottling it into something else.

@Shay72

Nice Product. The bottle it's in is Carpal Tunnel waiting to happen.

I wouldn't mind trying the Replenishing Conditioner. It may be thinner and able to come out of the bottle easier/faster.

@rileypak
Yeah....Me Too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

So I grabbed my Liter of UBH. I guess I'm through.

Unless something surprising happens tomorrow.

While you all are breaking for APB, I will use my pass for Sarenzo's Christmas in July (if the Sale is decent).

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@lindseyerinc I hope you are still joining us on these mini- N/B's?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Speaking of which:
I guess we will resume the N/B July 5th if that sounds reasonable with everyone?

Please let me know if you have different plans to resume.

Although I have transitioning hair, I don't think my hair is about that wash n go life. It always looks stupid on me :-(
