You Don't Know (Class Music Video)

Bye Bye!

I feel like recently I've been going through hair products like water and it's a bittersweet feeling to me lol. I love emptying products because it means I get to open new ones but for some products I feel like I didn't get to love them long enough. Oh well, I guess I'll have to get over it. Let's get to it!

Infusium 23 Color Defender Leave In Treatment -  I did not use this leave in on myself so I cannot give any personal experience on this product but I did use it on my clients as a leave in after I rinsed their deep conditioner out and before I would blowdry. I liked the way it made their hair feel extremely soft afterwards. I have another bottle that I've already started but once that's done I don't think I'll be buying anymore of them after that one is gone.

Mielle Organics Mint Almond Oil - I use this oil when I use the LOC method with the rest of the Mielle Organics products. This is the only time I use this oil because it has proven to work really well with the rest of the products so I feel like why change it? I don't like the mint smell but it gets covered up when you use the rest of the products in the line.

Mielle Organics Babassu Oil Conditioning Sulfate-Free Shampoo - This is the only product from Mielle that I hate. And I really wish I liked it. I've tried it a million different times and this shampoo and my hair do not like each other. I have maybe two or three more bottles of this to go through but I have not bought this in a while and I don't plan on buying it ever again. It made my hair feel dry and it took a lot of conditioner to get it to stop feeling dry. I don't discourage anyone from using this though because it was only my hair that felt like this. When all my friends used it they all had great results. I might just give my last few bottles to them.

Wella Brilliance Leave-In Balm - I use this on my clients before I blow dry their hair and it leaves their hair so soft and smooth before a flatiron. It has an amazing smell that all my clients love and me too. It's kind of a citrus type smell. I have one more bottle that I've already started and if I run out before I start my no buy again then I'll get two more bottles because this stuff is the best, hands down!

Lee Stafford's Hair Growth Treatment - So remember how I said I was tired of this stuff and couldn't wait to finish it up? Yeah I've changed my mind again lol. I'm back to loving these and am trying to figure out if I want to go buy two more. I still have not seen any signs of growth with this treatment but the way it makes my hair feel is amazing. Maybe my hair has adjusted to it because I've been using it for so long or maybe my hair just needed some extra love because I've recently bleached it but I'm loving this again.

Wrap-Up

Good Afternoon lovelies!

So I just counted all the products I used up in my year of no buy and the results are terrible. I only used up 21 body products and 31 hair products. Which brings my total of body products down to 281 and my hair products down to 172. Now that's just from what I've used minus the original number. That's not including the products in the giveaway I won or the products I've already bought since my no-buy is over. I'll start another year of no-buy when I can get a count of my total products. I will continue to do empties though and product reviews. Thanks for joining me on my journey and I hope you guys stay with me on my next journey.

Empties #18!

Of course around the time of the end of my no-buy is when I start to slack off but it just so happened to be around the time of me moving into my first apartment and starting school. Now that I'm settled in and school has started and I have my schedule down I can get back to blogging. So these are the last things I used up before the no-buy was over. I was really excited because I used them all up in the same week and days before it was over. Let's jump in!

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Grow Restorative Serum - I am an oil freak because I use them for my overnight pre-poos. For those who don't know what a pre-poo is, it's when you put oil or some type of conditioner all over your hair before you shampoo. You can either leave it on a little before you wash your hair or overnight. I choose to do overnight because that's when I've noticed the best results. The purpose of the pre-poo is to keep as much moisture in your hair as possible when washing so your hair won't be so dry when you're done. I liked this mixed with my olive oil. It smelled great and gave me great results. I would definitely repurchase.

DevaCurl One Condition - Now this one I haven't completely used up because since it was a sample size I just poured it into my conditioner bottle with a pump. I've only used some of it so far and I can honestly say I like it. I don't love it yet because I haven't used enough of it but I like it. I would definitely use it in a full size bottle which I actually think I have around somewhere. 

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment - You guys already know that I loved this at first but now I'm ready for it to be done. I actually used up another one so I'm down to my last two! You guys don't understand how happy I will be to get rid of this. But knowing me I still might buy a few more later on just to see if my hair just needs a break from them.

Bath & Body Works Be Enchanted Body Lotion - This is my second favorite scent from Bath and Body Works and I have a million of them stashed away because every time they go on sale during the semi-annuals sales I buy about 5 each of the lotion and body wash. If you have not smelled them before then you need to try and get your hands on one during the semi-annual because other than that they are online and you have to order them. The scent description is "A sparkling blend of iced pomegranate, sugared petals and chilled passionfruit frosted with notes of whipped vanilla and light musk." It is one of the best scents Bath and Body Works has come out with and if they ever stopped selling it I just might cry.

Caress Velvet Bliss Body Wash - I love Caress body wash and I love this scent. This is my favorite one but this is one that they have discontinued so whenever I run out I always have to go buy some off of Amazon and I always buy it in a 3 pack so that I don't have to buy them every time I run out. If you never got to use this scent then I'm sorry but if you want to try it then go to Amazon there are plenty of people selling them. I don't know how to describe the scent but it's kind of similar to the Be Enchanted smell but a little bit more fruity.
