Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 2

[lamaria211]

By the end of august I.plan on using up:
Herbal Essence LTR condish
Hair One for dry hair
Organix Morrocan oil moisturizing treatment

 

[Seamonster]

I just finished SD chocolate/vanilla mix

I believe that was everything I intended to complete for this challenge, very happy with myself, and I only purchased three samples- I did trades If I couldn't trade for it, I used what I have, and that is more than enough. In trade I was able to get my new favorite pomade Amla pomade.

My long term stash goal is to have only ten products, maybe make half of those.
Medium term goal is to cut my stash by 2/3s so that it all fits into one shelf.
For the month of August I will use up
Claudie's
1. Temple balm
2. Hair Gel
3. Moisturizing end Insurance
4. Moisturizing Quinoa Creme

Komaza
5. Califia leave in
6. Shea butter hair lotion
7. Califia Moisturizer
8. Moku Hair Oil
9. Califia Spray
10. Moku Hair butter

11. Oyin Burnt Sugar pomade

I've looked at my stash and I don't really have much that I want to use up or will use up by the end of August.

I will use up the Shea Moisture Smoothie. Maybe I will use up the KCCC.

Everything else I'm trying to save to try after my cut. And if it works well then I will keep it. If not then I will trash it.

I'm trying to hold onto my 2 AO products.

So I will only use up another 2 to 4 products between now and the end of August.

I purchased the Burt Bee's pre-shampoo. I definitely have to use this after my cut. It's too thick to go on my bushy hair

 

[Lanea87]

I need to look at my stash to see what I can use up before this session is over

 

[NikkiQ]

I think I'll be able to use up:

Suave Rosemary and Mint shampoo
Renpure condish
Aphogee 2min reconstructor

I may TRY to knock out the rest of my KCKT too with another cowashed ponytail.

 

[Ogoma]

Because I am co-washing daily this summer, I will use up these co-wash conditioners & samples by the end of the session:

Camille Rose Jansyns Moisture Max - about a third done
Desert Essence Coconut Conditioner - about a halfway through
Live Clean Argan Conditioning Mask
Curl Junkie Strengthening Hair Conditioner - use up 1 (1 left)
Komaza Care Califia Styling Pudding - 2 oz sample
Komaza Care Coconut Curl Pudding - 2 oz sample

 

[faithVA]

Used up the last of the Shea Moisture Smoothie. I won't repurchase this. It taught me a lot about what my hair does and doesn't like though.

So future moisturizers/leave-ins will be more liquid/watery

Will dig into my shea butter blend on my next cowash and see how that goes.

[Meritamen]

This is what I bought recently. I'm going to use everything up before buying any more styling products.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra-Sleek Shampoo - It a good shampoo, works just as well as the other Giovanni shampoos I've tried. Mostly like won't repurchase this since it was bought in conjunction with the conditioner which was a dud.

Giovanni 2chic Ultra-Sleek Conditioner - not impressed. I had thought since this was apart of the smoothing line that it would have a lot of slip to allow for detangling but sadly that was a bad assumption. This is probably not a be a repurchase - I prefer the Smooth as Silk line.

L'Oreal Everstyle Strong Hold Defining Gel - I'm trying to find something that will make styles last longer for me but won't make my hair feel brittle and dry. This doesn't make my hair feel dry and crispy but it didn't define my braid out. It gave me a nice chunky afro though. I like it a ton more than the Eco Styler gel everyone raves about.

L'Oreal Everstyle Smooth and Shine Creme - The jury is out on this one since I don't know if it does much for my hair. I guess it smooths the hair since it was easy to get the comb through but I also applied QBBRBC which works as a good detangler for me.

Organix Moisturizing Macadamia Oil Intensive Moisture Mask - Haven't tried it yet. From the directions it can be used a quick treatment or a 20 minute deep treatment.

[Seamonster]

Not including my herbs, oils that I keep in the refrigerator, collection of hair soaps, baby food banana packets, and the products I have in the bathroom to use this session- this is my stash. Really proud to be able to get it into four cabinets. One day I want this gone. Will take a picture of my herbs as soon as I get them organized, that may be awhile.

Well at least it is all in a confined space

 

[Ogoma]

I like that I am at a place where I am down to products I have used and liked before even if they didn't make staple status. I have only one thing in my stash I have never used before so there are no surprises and I am enjoying it.

 

[Lanea87]

Spraying my hair daily with my Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1 trying to get rid of it.

Imma miss it when its gone though. But its been in my stash too long.

 

[faithVA]

Public Announcement:

This weekend is Return of the Curls or whatever the hair show is called and I do plan on going. When I go to hair shows, or black festivals, all bets are off. So this weekend I will be takig $100 to $120 to buy whatever I want. When the money is gone the shopping ceases.

Fortunately there aren't a lot of vendors I usually want to try. But the ytbers are coming for this one so might be some good shopping up in there. I did see Karens Body Beautiful (or whatever it is )

I'm ready to get my shop on.

Where is the show??

 

[faithVA]

Where is the show??

It's in Richmond. Not sure why But I'll take it. Hopefully, it will be a nice turn out.

 

[lamaria211]

I think I might try my BWC moisture plus condish as my dc this weekend instead of the organix morrocan treatment, ive had it much longer

 

[Seamonster]

hottopic I know before I had my stash hidden all over the house so I didn't realize how massive it is.

faithVA thanks, whew, that hair show sounds exciting!

I said I was going to miss this once its gone but I think I am going to mix something up once its gone. Like AVJ and a conditioner or moisturizer and scent it and gone on by my business.

Now thats how you eliminate something without rebuying. My hair isnt picky so I can do thing like that. The only thing my hair hasnt like so far on the HHJ is V05

Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1 is gone, well at least the bottle is. I mixed the last 1oz with another moisturizer.

ApHogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor is gone too, went ahead and mixed it with my DC for Friday.

If the bottle is gone, I count it as gone.......Dont judge me

 

[Kindheart]

If the bottle is gone, I count it as gone.......Dont judge me

Lol i do the same .. I still have 2 bottles of oil sheens does anybody know what i could do with it (designer touch and Luster Olive smooth),i thrown away 2 already

 

[Lanea87]

I use to have a friend that sprayed it on her legs, IDK how that goes but I guess it was her alternative to baby oil LOL

 

[faithVA]

If the bottle is gone, I count it as gone.......Dont judge me

That's my rule

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Kindheart you can give them away to a friend or neighbor. I know many DS hair love ORS oil sheen.

 

[Seamonster]

Yes Kindheart give them away, somebody is always looking for what we no longer want. In the mean time place them where anyone can use them. You might be surprised to come back and find them all used up
