Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

Vanilla Fig you say? :scratchchin: I may have to look into that one later. I like products that feel good on my hair and I love it even more when my hair responds well to them :yep:.

It pretty thick and creamy but rubs on smooth. Well, at least on my skin. It has tucuma and Shea so I expect it will be rich. I'm definitely trying in early November to determine if it's a keeper for BF. Ugh. She wasn't even on my list.

Think I need to use these 8oz NG conditioners up.

I think Naturelle Grow will always be on my list. I like quite a few of her products so far. I'm already making a mental note of all the product repurchases as I use them. I need to get into my APB products soon too.

I am realizing that I don't like liquidy leave-ins. I prefer them creamy. They feel a lot better creamy and emollient on my hair but only when I wear it in a protective style. I suppose a light liquid leave-in would be best if I blow out and straighten my hair, hmm.

She's always been on mine. It's funny because Chamomile and Burdock is my least favorite DC but I clearly bought the 16oz lol. I really like that she has more variety.

My APB stash is actually pathetic for once, but by Xmas, I will be goodt!

I hear you on the leave ins. I'm not heavy handed with any product except DC, but I do prefer creamier because I find them to have longer lasting moisture. Thinner, lotion like items are usually pass or fail to me. APB markets a daily lotion, but I feel it's more of a light cream. Nothing lotion about it.
 
Today I'm using Pumpkin Seed Butter mixed with Biolage Hydrasource Conditioning Balm as a prepoo.

Clarify with Elucence Clarifying shampoo

Cowashing with 4 Bella Naturale Yucca Root Restorative Co-Wash Conditioner

Protein Treatment with 4BN YR Intensive Repair Mask

Moisture Treatment with 4BN YR Cocoavonana Deep Hair Mask

Leave-In with 4BN YR Restorative Leave-in Conditioner
 
So far this morning I used up:

The last drop of my Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo - not a repurchase.

Also finished the bottle of 4 Bella Naturale Yucca Root Restorative Cowash Conditioner - also not a repurchase. I have never used a cowash before so I have nothing to compare this to. It was not bad as a cowash, but because I am used to suds, it just felt weird.

It had little grains in it that washed out pretty easily and it definitely cleansed my hair well. It had a little slip but not as much as I'd like for detangling. In total, I would give it a 4 out of 5 because of the suds and because I use way more than I would with a sudsy shampoo. I can see me wasting a lot of money this way so I won't repurchase.

I have APB and NG Co-Cleansers coming soon and I'll compare it to those and if it's pretty much the same, then for sure, cowash cleansers are not for me. I'll simply stick with my sudsy shampoos.

The two in pink are the best out of the 4 Bella Naturale prodcuts I used today I mean the COCOAVONANA deep conditioner is :lick: and :drool:. My full review of all of them is in the vendor's forum.
 
I just threw out the 2 sample size HQS 5 Day Moisture that I had. They are too hard to use and they smell strongly of the African Raw Shea Butter. I really don't like that scent at all :nono:. Besides I'm making room for my products that are on their way.
 
Gave away:
SM Sacha Inchi (x2 backups)
HQS GM, Go Deep and Slip (x2 backups)
SSI Riche and Curl Moist (no backups)

Everyone I gave stuff to are slowly becoming junkies #BirdmanHands

Used up:
SM WGB Conditioner
APB Moisturizing Conditioner

I know what you mean by the bolded. I am giving away some of my products as well to my sister and she eagerly looks forward to more :lol:
 
I loved the sample bag. I got too much. Drunk elephant aha kit (I blame @toaster for that), Laura Mercier illuminator palette (being returned), Bite lipstick set, Juliette has a gun perfume discovery kit. Way too much smh.

I didn't open mine yet. As soon as I get home. I hope it's good.

BTW: I purposely chose a Sephora that doesn't sell QB :look:
