USE UP YOUR STASH CHALLENGE 2014: Session 2

[JazzyOleBabe]

Totally missed this segment. Laptop took a mini vacation. It took her $300.00 to return. In the meantime, I used up Darcy's Coconut and Aloe Pudding and an 8 oz oil that I don't remember the name.

I used up the conditioner sample in the hotel I was staying in over the holiday. I brought the other one home and will be using it soon.

 

[nmartin20]

I am happy to report that I used up Bee Mine Bee-U-Ti-Ful. I have about a corner of Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed CMC. I'll finish it this week to refresh my hair. The PS worked nicely as a deep conditioner. Well until next time.

Hope to get a wash in this evening to use up a little bit more. I have started putting things I want to focus on in a separate little back for wash day. I tend to forget on wash day but this helps me target things.

Decided I'm not gonna buy anything else but instead invest in a line of products. APB will be that line! I'm excited.

Sounds like a good plan. And that seems to be a good line.

I want to do the same after I use up or give away some of these products. I'm afraid of I invest in the line now I'll either push them to the back of the closet while I use up everything else or use the APB only and not use up the 101 products I have now. I want APB now tho!

 

[krissyhair]

Do you all believe that I went on a 3 store hunt just to get some Cantu Shea Butter for my brother?

It looks like they changed up the line to make it more fancy. Now they have a coconut curling cream in a flat jar, a hair lotion in a bottle, and the closest thing to the original is a strengthen/grow cream in a very stingy sized jar.

I bought him the one that appeared closest to the original. He liked it anyway. It smells the same.

That's what I ended up doing. I bought the Natural Oasis line and used it a few times and pushed it to the back of the closet until I use up some other things. I am looking forward to getting back to it but need to use up some things.

I saw the new formulation in Sally's I think. It looked like it had better ingredients than the old one.

Used up 3 things yesterday during wash day

Hairveda Almond Glaze Pomade
Zen Detox Hair & Scalp Therapy
Hairveda Whipped Creme

Realized I hadn't added As I Am Cleansing Pudding to my stash.

I also have Curl Junkie argan something in my list but don't see it in my closet. If I don't see it this weekend, I am going to take it off my list. I probably used it already and don't remember.

Got my stash down to 30. I think I can get it down to 25 by the end of June.

 

[krissyhair]

Sigh, I'm still going through Carol's Daughter lite hair milk too fast. It's a 2oz bottle and I'm almost half way through with it after only 2 weeks. Such a tiny bottle!

Me too! I'm interested in a 6 mo. personal hair care challenge and APB will be the product line of choice for me. Think I'll push the others to the side and reevaluate their benefits to my regimen. All others will be trashed or given away! HHJ!

 

[curlyTisME]

Sounds like a good plan. And that seems to be a good line.

I agree, I've lurked the vendor thread long enough. I'm excited!

 

[greenandchic]

OK, I took advantage of the BOGO for Shea Moisture at Walgreens. I wasn't going to bite but I go though conditioner and leave-in so fast, I know I would kick myself if I had to pay full price for it in a couple of weeks. At least I could say I gave it some thought instead of jumping right into it.

Purchased:

Shea Moisture

Transitioning Milk - I really liked this from the last bottle I purchased.
Extra Moisture Detangler - I hope its as good as Kinky-Curly Knott today
Purification Masque - Staple
Curl Enhancing Smoothie - I use heavy creams as a light styler for my edges so this should work well.

^^^ I am so upset that my Walgreens was out of Shea Moisture Moisture Retention shampoo. I was going to buy 2 get 2 free for a total of 4. That would have been enough to last me a year or so.

I did go to Sally's and stock up on my staple conditioners though.

Do they do rain checks?


Off Topic:
I did a quick shampoo and condition tonight...used some leave-in, combed it back and braided it in a single braid. That's how my mommy used to do my hair. Keep it Simple Sister.

 

[randi415]

Giving these to my cousin.

I went on Walgreens.com to make sure the store I was going to go to had what I wanted in stock. Maybe you can check another location?

That's a good challenge, I'm surprised there's not a Use One Product Line Challenge. Hmmmm maybe you should start one... Not yet tho, let me use up some stuff first.

I do it all the time. I have a couple Sarenzo products I revisited that are amazing, pushed them to the back almost a year ago.

There used to be one years ago when I was relaxed. I think I've given up on having one line for my natural hair

 

[xu93texas]

I bought 2 jars of Shea Moisture Purification Masque from Walgreens. Last weekend I bought KeraCare Humecto Creme Conditioner and KeraCare oil from Penney's. I purchased It's A Ten Leave-in and Redken Extreme Strength Builder Plus from Ulta as well. I think I'm done for the summer.

We're moving in July, so I do plan to get rid of a lot of products. I just need to sort everything out and sit down and post it all. Whatever I don't sell will go to family members.

 

[greenandchic]

Used up:

Giovanni 2Chic Ultra Sleek Conditioner

. Make sure that you ask for a rain check .

Lots of stores are tripping. They don't do rain checks anymore. I hope Walgreens still does.

 

[SweetlyCurly]

Used up the last of the Bel Nouvo DC and the Darcy's pumpkinseed DC in today's wash.

 

[JazzyOleBabe]

Used up
SSI Eucalyptus Shampoo.

 

[Dayjoy]

It has taken forever, but I finally have something else to report. It's only one product, but it's better than none. I used up Aveda Brilliant shampoo. I liked it a lot but it isn't a repurchase since I have a million other shampoos to get through.

 

[faithVA]

I washed today and wanted to use up some things but I'm cowashing this week so hopefully by the end of the week I will have used up 3 or 4 things
