Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

Imma need to chill. But I wanna buy something else.:eek:....:nono:
Waiting on:
Soultanicals (x2 orders) *keep forgetting about this.
Bask & Bloom (I just repurchased this not too long ago - with this one I now have x3 b/ups)

But I know there are some brands I probably won't be repurchasing. (OBIA and maybe a few others I will be eliminating in 2017).
 
I bought a few new lines in 2017. I always say I want to keep it to two, but this year I didn't :look:
I tried:
Naturally Smitten (decent but overpriced)
Cream & Coco (made the cut for repurchasing)
Coco Conscious Collective (*womp*)
Nur Creations (haven't tried this yet)
Inashi (haven't tried the DC'er yet, had a sample of a R/O and I liked it - kinda pricey tho')

Seems like I'm missing something?

Any vendors you plan on eliminating in 2017?

I know Aggie said she wouldn't be repurchasing CJ Curl Rehab.

I need to come up with a few more.

Well this year I stuck with the tried and true. I didn't venture out.

I am taking into 2017:
Alikay Naturals
Siamese Twists
Shea Moisture
Soultanicals
APB
Oh, I do need some As I Am Smoothing Gel
Sarenzo
Smooth Naturals (I like her Nourishing Mist)
Jakeala (mainly soap)
Naturale Grow (mainly DCs)

I may try a couple of new things (the vendor @Aggie talks about, I think Bella Naturals?) Her shipping is reasonable now. And this Miche DC I've been hearing about.
 
Vendors I may cut in 2017:
  • NurCreations (haven't tried yet but I'm not moved to repurchase with the shipping cost)
  • Bee Mine (possibly; I have some other things I still need to try but APB may knock them off)
  • Mielle Organics (undecided; if the Soultanicals Strand Repair does my hair as nicely as the Babassu Mint DC then I'll go ahead and ride with it)
  • Inahsi Naturals (undecided; I love the leave in but CurlLuxe may have bumped them out)
  • Kurlee Belle (undecided; love the leave in and still have some other stuff to try but I don't find myself as moved to reach for their stuff anymore)
  • Oyin Handmade (undecided; if the APB hair lotions do my hair right then I'll definitely ride with those instead of Hair Dew especially since the Pomades no longer work for me)
  • Hairveda (I really only use the oils and I'm not a big oil user at the moment)

Curl Junkie- Too much aloe

Bekura- Overpriced for less than regular degular products

CC's Naturals- Just not the great

NurCreations- She smokes too much crack for me

Texture Me Naturals- Willing to give her second chance if her comm improves

Oyin- I only like the hair dew and that's not motivation enough

TGIN- Just not moved by this line

SheScentIt- Tired of kissing frogs

HQS- Unless she finds act right, I'll just keep her year old stuff in the corner.
 
Vendors definitely going into 2017:
APB (hair, body, and face)
Bobeam Naturals (conditioners, face masks)
Claudie's (protein treatments)
Curl Junkie (protein treatment)
Komaza Care (hair butter and scalp exfoliator)
LRC (protein leave in)
MyHoneyChild (butter and grease)
Qhemet Biologics (CTDG)
Sarenzo (body)
Shescentit (rinse outs and moisturizers)
Silk Dreams (WGBC for sure)
Soultanicals (conditioners and whatever else Ayo cooks up)

ETA: I won't count some of my randoms I grab from CurlMart or Hattache. They'll always be in the mix.

@IDareT'sHair Hmmm....what is this Cynthis Rowly Turbie you speak of? :scratchchin:
Well, Sarenzo's Clay was is a hit. It provided slip, gently cleansed, and had my coils/curls popping. I forgot that she was closing up shop after yesterday and now I want another one :sad:. I need to grab more of those NW21 creams because it works great on my hair as an overnight treatment.


The only vendors for now that comes to mind regarding leaving them in 2017 is NurCreations and Hydroquench Systems. The products I've tried from NurCreations are good but I can't be bothered with her shipping and customer service issues. That entire dilemma with HQS was a mess and unless she does a complete overhaul and gets her life together, I will not be buying anything.

@Saludable84 I grabbed 2 Spun Sugar Reconstructors and added it to my cart but that shipping is high... so I left it.
