August 2016 What Did You Buy This Week?

[toaster]

So how is qhemet's shipping? I see she has a 16 oz Amla for $35. 8 oz is $21 at Sephora. But I get free two day shipping from Sephora so if her shipping costs are high or I won't get it in two days I'll go the Sephora route.

 

[Saludable84]

These are also among my NG purchase last week that is already being shipped

Yasssssss!

 

[meka72]

I think it comes out to be the same costs, Sephora with free shipping v. QB with shipping. For some reason, I remember QB shipping to be around $8. I may be wrong. I don't recall QB's shipping to be terribly long but I don't think it as quick as Sephora's flash shipping.

I would order from Sephora.

QB ships relatively quickly. No experience with Sep-hora.

Here is my total haul for the month:

Loc Soc
NuBone II Handcrafted Detangling Comb
Annie Butterfly Clips – 3” 12 ct.
A small cardboard box

Stop, wait, back up the truck... a box??

What’s the box about?

Let’s find out…

Oh, it looks like… a bottle? Of what?

NetWurks Xcel Hair Revitalizer Spray – 8 oz

*the precious!*

The rebirth of the beloved Surge 14 Hair Revitalizer Spray


*my precious*

I probably won’t use it for a while, just wanted to have it for old time’s sake.

*mustn’t leave me*

A bit off-center, let’s fix that.

*my precious*

Much better!

*precious…*


*mustn’t leave again*

That was fun!

 

[InBloom]

Picked up Squalane oil (straight,no chase) mainly for skin, but a nice option for my hair.

I got the olive derived.

 

[blackeyes31626]

Wetline Xtreme gel
I am on a no-buy but this doesn't count bc it was only like 3 dollars.

 

[YesToHair!]

Picked up extra dark JBCO and Saw Palmetto oil

This will be my last purchase for the year, i now have everything for my regimen to last 3 months...next buy January.

 

[CodeRed]

This will be my last purchase for the year, i now have everything for my regimen to last 3 months...next buy January.

I'm thinking about doing this too. I have a short list of 6 or 7 items items I want to buy this month and I should be good for until January. That no-buy really helped in slowing down my desire to buy stuff and when I do I question whether or not I actually need it, if it's on sale, what exactly am I going to use it for, etc. I still want to try stuff but my is a lot shorter and I'm not so rabid about wanting to go get it I'm willing to wait for a sale.

I also have sephora two day shipping and I would go with sephora plus use ebates to get a percentage back.

Girl this is EXACTLY I did. Ebates is 8% cash back today so I picked up:

2 Qhemet Amla Creams.

This is the ONLY product in my 6.5 years of being natural that moisturizes my hair and is heavy enough to stretch my hair out. When I cowash I have to wash every day because my hair shrinks and I need to detangle daily. This is why I love roller setting because it stretches my length. This cream makes me only have to wash my hair every two days! It's super moisturizing and it keeps my hair stretched so it doesn't tangle up on itself.

 

[Saludable84]

Denman brush

 

[flyygirlll2]

@toaster I love the AOHC . My hair is similar since the shrinkage is insane but the cream leaves my hair mouisturised to a point where I don't have to re-mouisturize my hair for the rest of the week.

 

[rileypak]

Nothing!

I almost caved and bought something today though. That SM curling souffle and three Oui.dad cleansers been knocking on my PJ door but I'm ignoring it for now...

 

[flyygirlll2]

@rileypak I have the SM Curling Souffle but haven't tried it yet. I was on Curlmart looking at the Ouidad cleanser earlier but that shipping stopped me in my tracks.

The former I just opened a new jar. Love that stuff.

The latter is sitting in my cart on Ama.zon. Free 2-day shipping and 3.99 for one day. About to start a fight with DH so he can make it up by getting me a gift

 

[Anaisin]

Tresemme Perfectly Undone Conditioner x4

I'll be back to say what I got with my $5 gift card. Was going to buy Curl Love again but now I'm thinking Shea Moisture Low Porosity leave in

 

[mzteaze]

No, I'm in essex county! I was all over the land.

I ALMOST drove out to Orange to look for it. But honestly it's faster for me to hit Manhattan.

The glycerin doesn't bother you?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

The glycerin doesn't bother you?

No, and it weirding me out. I need to see how this acts this fall/winter.

Its the second leave in that I can add to my naked hair alone, no sealing and have my hair dry soft and satiny. I dont understand it. It doesn't give me that heavy glycerin feel either. @Saludable84

I gotta find out if Young Metro trust it because I'm scurred.

Scurred.

I'm hipo so that's what kind of has me scurred about it. However, I read the reviews at SM's site and watched/read a lot of reviews other places, and I'm impressed. Decided it was worth a try. Bought some yesterday. Decided I'd donate it to a friend if it didn't work out.

This morning I had 15 minutes to get dressed. During my 7-minute shower, I was able to shampoo and then smooth on some of the SM lowpo detangler. This would at least allow me to test its moisturizing properties. First impressions:

I don't how to interpret that. Is this in reference to my time management issues this morning? Special needs momma here! Stuff happens! I've learned to just ROLL with it!
