Miss:
Kinky Curly Knot Today - This didn't jive with my Kinky Curly Custard and Giovanni leave in. It made my hair feel like straw
Curly Kinks CurlyQue Deep conditioner - no slip, sat on top of my hair even with a deep conditioning cap. I can't return it. I'm pissed.

Yes IDareT'sHair, it's actually the unscented buttercream though.
I got three items shipped to me for $6.25. Three Whips. And I also placed an order a while back for the lotion and a few other things when she had her Memorial Day sale. Shipping wasn't too bad either.
That Coconut Lemongrass scent though

Yes, it is a hit! Ordered from Hattache. She's the only one that carries it. It's not even on Anita Grant's website. I've used it twice and only used the coconut milk with it. Soft, moisturized hair was the result. Can't wait for her to carry it on her site, anitagrant.com, so that I can use my points to get it for free!
HITS:
mariedeanonline.com Red Clover Honey Leave-In Conditioner. This is the bomb.com for keeping my 4CZ natural hair moisturized. It's right up there with my beloved MYHC Type 4 hair cream. I received a large sample (got 3 uses out of it) in my Black Friday order. I will be ordering this in the large, 12 oz. size when she has a sale. Love this stuff!
Phytokertine serum.....Good, good, good to the last drop. Keeps my ends healthy and strong. Thanks to @caliscurls I purchased 10 for $14.99 from amazon.com. Couldn't wait on Phyto's 50% off sale. Love this stuff!
Inversion treatment – Boosts my hair growth. Thanks to FaithVA for sharing the position she uses – works very well for me. Discovered I get better results by massaging with a growth oil (PALTAS, KeraVada, etc.)
Continued hit! Henna, henna, henna…..Will never stop using this. Strong hair and great color. Not waiting on color release and steaming it in produces great results for my hair.
MISSES:
Oyin Handmade whipped pudding…..Not moisturizing enough.
Will be back with more hits and misses……

Hit: Garlic. This stuff really works. I was having terrible shedding due to my pregnancy. My hair was basically coming out in clumps. I did not have garlic deep conditioner/treatments. I added garlic powder to my deep conditioner. It helped tremendously and I am loosing less hair.

New Hits:
Blue Roze Beauty Cocoa Coffee Rhassoul Hair Mask
This conditioner has the same consistency and aroma as the Pura Body Chocolate DC. It was easy to apply and disappeared into my hair while conditioning. It didn’t take much for me to fully saturate my hair, especially since I apply product with a heavy hand (I used approximately 1/4 of the 8oz jar for each DC session). Upon rinsing, my hair felt deliciously soft and moisturized. Given its excellent ingredients, performance and the vendor’s outstanding shipping practices, this product a definite keeper.
PBN Sapote Hair Lotion
For over a year, I’ve been hesitant to try this product due to the mediocre reviews I’ve read; yet, I decided to give it a try. This product has an ultra thick and lusciously creamy consistency. It applies like a dream and it doesn’t take much for my hair to become fully saturated. Still, its most impressive features are: (1) its ability to provide long-lasting moisture; and (2) its multi-purpose nature, e.g., it performed exceptionally well as a leave-in and as a refresher on dampened, air dried and straightened hair. It even out performed its sister product, the Muru Muru Moisture Milk, during a side-by-side comparison (which is huge deal since the Muru Muru is highly effective). After a month of exemplary results, it was bestowed with VIP staple status and has replaced all of the other creamy leave-ins and refreshers in my arsenal.
PBN Cupuacu Hair Butter
I am not a butter-lover; I haven’t had much success with them. How…ever, I decided to give this product a try due to its ingredient list and the rave reviews it’s received (I was particularly swayed by how easily it melted in all of the reviewers’ hands). I used this product as an all-over sealant on freshly conditioned hair and the reviewers were right – this sucker melts instantly upon contact. It has a light, whipped consistency and spread easily on my hair. The oft-repeated mantra of “a little goes a long way” is especially true of this product because it did not take much for me to apply it from root to tip. So, don’t let the fact that it comes in a 4oz jar deter anyone from purchasing. I also liked that it didn’t result in my hair feeling weighed and oily, and the fact that its buttery goodness didn’t leave me with a greasy, Gerald Levert-esque forehead. This product is another winner.
Camille Rose Naturals Aloe Whipped Butter Gel
I tend to have little interest in curl enhancing products or those that contain a large amount of AVG. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try since it was deeply discounted during a sale. I used this product to do a simple braid-out on lightly dampened hair; it was used without a leave-in/refresher underneath. I was pleasantly surprised by its consistency – instead of resembling a standard gel, it has a light, creamy, butter-like texture. It applied easily and immediately added softness and shine to my hair. It even provided a bit of slip, which leads me to believe that a less tangle-prone head of hair would fully enjoy this product. After I braided my hair into approximately 12 braids, I haphazardly pinned them up and out of my way. When I unbraided my hair three days later (don’t judge me), my hair felt ridiculously smooth and silky; it had also retained its shine. I’ve subsequently used this product several times alone as a styler for simple braid-outs and it always produces soft, shiny almost velvety results. I really like this product!
Miss:
ORS Hair Repair Nourishing Conditioner
This product was very easy to apply and is similar in consistency to its brand counterpart, the Replenishing Pak/Conditioner. It went on very smooth, had great slip and made my hair appear extremely shiny. However, upon rinsing, all of the softness disappeared and my hair became stiff and rough; it also failed to provide me with any moisture. This stuff sucks big time.
Continued Hits:
SSI Seyani & Kiwi Kiss Hair Butters (outside of Bask, these are the best body butters I've ever encountered)
SSI Avocado Conditioner (excellent all-in-one, multi-purpose product)
SSI Riche Masque (consistently exceptional DC)
SSI Okra Reconstructor (protein + moisture + slip + softness = one happy camper; I can even overnight DC with this product on my sensitive head without experiencing any issues whatsoever)

Major Hit: Discovering Multi-Purpose Uses for Products
Not the worse way to use up my stash since I'm in protective style mode for a while.
Sooooo, since I love Smooth Naturals products so much as body products (they also dupe as hair products), I decided to use my Jessicurl Deep Treatment as a body lotion. I did a loooooong time ago (on my hands), but revisited it again last night.
Oh. My. GAWD. Talk about velvety soft skin with NO greasy feeling.
I cannot wait to get my gallon of this stuff (which probably won't be until Black Friday but still lol).

@P Jaye the lavender is what is preventing me from ordering it because I detest the smell of lavender.
