Other Products
I also have a full bag of products I no longer want. I have it listed in the products thread but its not like I have premium brands anyone would want to pay shipping for. I don't want to throw them away either...

I have other oils but they double as body oils so I didn't list them.

Subscriptions
I just cancelled my CurlKit subscription but I have one box here and another coming in about a week - the last of it. I will open the boxes when I get my stash down.

What are your goal(s) for the session
-Narrow my shampoos down to 3 (clarifying, moisturizing and protein).
-Not have so many stylers.
-Narrow my leave-ins to 2 (liquid and creamy)

Used up/thrown out/sold/given away.

ETA - Had to add a few products I didn't know I have...

Used up an Oyin Hair Dew yesterday. So happy Oyin is coming to Target in March. I hope it is available near me.

Oh, that's great! I can get the Hair Dew now.

Great! I hope they're going to be at all Targets.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Great! I hope they're going to be at all Targets.

Right. However I will travel for Oyin. I do know that no two Targets are alike around here. One Target has like 8 natural hair product lines. Another Target has 2-3. I'm on the lookout for the new Shea moisture line in Target... You know... Just to peek at it

I'm 0-1

 

[faithVA]

Great! I hope they're going to be at all Targets.

You are in Oregon, correct? Have you seen a lot of the new products in you Target stores? Did Camille Rose come to your Target?

What new Shea Moisture line? Man, I feel behind in my news

I agree. They don't stock Target stores the same way. The one close to me has quite a few products but I have to travel about 15 miles to find the Shea Moisture color and the Camille Rose products. I don't if the store close to me will carry the Oyin.

It's a smooth and repair line. Aimed at those who straighten. I'll try to get a pic

 

[oneastrocurlie]

It's on Targets site but only in stores.

 

[faithVA]

^^thanks.

Maybe I should just get a Target Red Card and buy items on line and get free shipping.

Oh the damage I could do with a Red Card...

 

[faithVA]

^^Uh oh

 

[uofmpanther]

I didn't know about the new Shea Moisture line. You guys are going to entice me out of my no buy. I have a Red Card, but I've been avoiding the beauty aisle. I keep buying other stuff, like random storage containers, to cope.

 

[Saludable84]

That's how target gets y'all. I'm sure they make a good amount of money on hair products because they have decent deals lol.

But that new Shea moisture line. I need to look into that. The black line redeemed itself in my eyes.

[Prettymetty]

I want to join session 1. I used to be a product hoarder, but I have come a long way. My goal is to clear up some of the clutter under my cabinets and get back to what works. I will post my stash when I get home

You are in Oregon, correct? Have you seen a lot of the new products in you Target stores? Did Camille Rose come to your Target?

Yes, PDX. The natural/curly lines only started coming to the Targets here around the middle of 2012. Camille Rose is not here but when I checked target.com it said its "not sold in stores". Is it online only?

 

[faithVA]

It isn't online only. We have a few stores here that carry it some of the products. Maybe it realizes what area you are in and it indicates that it isn't sold in your local stores.

Don't take my words as 100% correct but I read CR is getting phased out of Target. I've only seen it in one and it was 3 jars in the clearance section annnddd it wasn't anywhere in the hair care isle. It could very well just be my area though

You are going to make me go to Target and look in the clearance aisle

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Out of the 3 jars that were left I took 2 of them lol

I think you're right. I typed in my zip code a few days ago on Target.com and my cookies haven't cleared.

Oh well. I always have CurlMart when they free shipping promos...

 

[Beany]

Used up SM Purification Masque. I like it, will probably buy again.

 

[ImanAdero]

I'm going to Walgreens tomorrow... Pray I have some willpower and don't buy anything y'all!

Decrease! NOT increase!

 

[uofmpanther]

You are going to make me go to Target and look in the clearance aisle

Ditto. I'm still on a no buy, but I can't pass up a clearance if it is really good.

 

[DoDo]

I used up shea moisture purification masque.

I will rebuy ( It is a holy grail at this point for me)

Not yet though.

I need to use up some stuff.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

How did you use the SM Purification Masque?
