USE UP YOUR STASH 2014: Session 1

[sweetdreams23]

used up my Jane Carter Nourish and Shine (that stuff is soo good!)
My jar of Cantu Shea Butter is almost finished....

 

[lamaria211]

I just went thru my stash and realized that I only have 4 products out of 70 that don't contain any protein. Now its time to do something bout that

 

[Saludable84]

Okay... So I bought the Bobeam shampoo sampler and the coco honey & Amla bar. So this changes things... But that's it for this first session! Nothing else! Plus when I finally so my braids, the shampoo bars will come in handy.

Update on how that works. I've been eyeing it for a while!

[Ogoma]

Used up Ouidad Curl CoWash; opened up last bottle.

Used up Aussie 3 Min Deep Conditioner; opened up Giovanni Olive & Avocado Moisture.

Aussie 3 Min is definitely at the top of my potential repurchase list. Liked it a lot. Don't like that it is such a small bottle and I only got 2.5 uses out of it, but it is $4 so can't complain too much.

 

[faithVA]

I am in puffy twist for a while so I won't be using up much.

 

[greenandchic]

Used up:
Kandy Kurls Shea Butter Souffle - LOVE this.
Crème of Nature Perfect Edges - I have another full size container.

 

[faithVA]

Received some samples which I need to add later.

I have 2 jars of unpetroleum jelly which I couldn't figure out how to use it. I installed puffy twist this weekend and put it on the ends of my hair and the extension hair. It helped smooth down my hair and helped to keep the twist together. I finally found some use for it Thought I was going to have to throw it out.

 

[myronnie]

Used up 1 Claudie's renew protein

 

[uofmpanther]

I got 2 samples at my natural hairstyling class, and I found a SSI sample that I missed when listing out my hair products.

 

[faithVA]

My friend sent me some samples: Claudies Normalizing Conditioner, Curl Keeper Total Control Gel, Bigen Polishing Serum, Fat Curls Curling Defining Gel, Fat Curls Curl Enhancing Creme, Motions Straight Finish Cleanser, Miss Jessies Jelly Soft Curls.

I will add all of this to my stash but I will go through my stash and decide what I will giveaway.

I've used it to seal my ends with - probably about 1-2" up since its so thick. I've also blended with other oils to make it lighter.

That is what I originally bought it for but it didn't work out for me as a sealant. I did try to blend it as well. It was even too heavy for my skin. But it is really sticky so it works well to bind my hair with the extension hair.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

USED UP:

1 silk dreams Vanilla Silk

 

[McQuay30]

My friend sent me some samples: Claudies Normalizing Conditioner, Curl Keeper Total Control Gel, Bigen Polishing Serum, Fat Curls Curling Defining Gel, Fat Curls Curl Enhancing Creme, Motions Straight Finish Cleanser, Miss Jessies Jelly Soft Curls.

Have you tried the normalizing conditioner?

 

[faithVA]

Have you tried the normalizing conditioner?

No. I just got it Saturday and I had already put in my puffy twist. I won't be trying it until March. Ronie and tashboog use it if you are looking for reviews.

 

[Ogoma]

I was tempted to buy some conditioner, but I will resist. The conditioners will be there when I get my 6 rinse out conditioners down to 1. Then I have 10 TJ TTT that I am not even counting here.

I also want to put my hair in braids in March so not going to buy stuff to just sit there.

 

[Ann0804]

Used up 1 32oz. Curl Junkie Curl Rehab. I have 1 more left that should last me at least 6 months.

Oh--I did have an empty to report. I used up Camille Rose Moisture Milk. Not a repurchase.

 

[Beany]

I think I'm gonna throw out my Njoy sulfur oil. I have about a half bottle left. The smell lingers and I don't have time/desire to cowash every other day.

Maybe you can gift it to someone.

 

[faithVA]

I have decided to try Natural Oasis products and just waiting to receive them. I will take my twist out the weekend of the 7th and give them a try. If they work out for me I will be getting rid of quite a few products.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Used UP:

1 Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner

 

[SweetlyCurly]

Used up: Cantu curling custard

Although I'm trying to decrease my stash I had to get another one of these. HG status. Today I was supposed to use my Xtreme gel which I love and I was like nope! Gotta use some more of this

 

[Froreal3]

Used up Annabelle's White Chocolate Mousse DC.
Down to 50% or less: SSI Blueberry Cowash, MYHC Buttery Soy, Keravada Fenugreek oil, SD Wheat Germ, Annabelle's Pumpkin Hair Cream, Annabelle's Pumpkin Pie Butta, Annabelle's Pumpkin Spice Leave in spray.

 

[Ogoma]

Used up Giovanni 2Chic Olive & Avocado conditioner. Not a repurchase. I liked the performance, but got only 2 uses out of a 8 oz bottle and I was trying really hard not to be heavy handed. I think it is the consistency.

Have only 2 products on my use-up list, but will be using them for a while. I have 5 of the smoothing conditioner to go through. I will enjoy it while I am using it so it will be fun.

 

[Beany]

Maybe you can gift it to someone.

If I could find someone local (DMV area) I would definitely gift it.

 

[Beany]

Used up Oyin Hair Dew (will repurchase)
