April No/low Buy Challenge

[AgeinATL]

@AgeinATL

I saw that small sale at Bekurabeauty but it was too small for me to buy the Honey Latte and Body Milks I wanted. I'll wait for a bigger sale from them before I get anything. I need at least 25% off from them. I should still get my body lotions though because it is only a seasonal item from them and by the time they offer the 25% off, it might be off the shelf again

Girl, I was desperate! I had run out waiting on a decent sale so I had to take what I could. But you're right, that 'sale' was pathetic. It basically covered the cost of shipping.

I made a small hairveda purchase. Waiting on APB and then on hiatus until MD.

I need some APB refresher Sprays so bad. I'm totally out and need to get some more .

Ok so a week in and I have made 3 purchases this month. I think I'm done til my bday in June

coconut oil 7.99
Goody barrettes 3.99
Babyliss pro mini blow dryer 32.99

That's just under $50. In order to meet my savings goal this month I have to put up my cards

Coconut oil is not a hair purchase. Tomorrow use that ish to cook something. And use it to oil pull. Then it won't be exclusively hair

I agree, but I still want to hold myself accountable for every purchase. Multi use items don't count against us

Purchased:

• $9.99 . . . Eden Bodyworks Essentials Citrus Fusion Styling Mousse (I got it due to its ingredients, but I'm worried it's not effective based on the one review on the website, which I saw after purchasing. We'll see: I got it from Sally's and WILL return it if need be)
• ~$2.00 . . . 400-pack of Proclaim "will not break" rubber bands to place around my crimper curlers
• 3 6-packs of red flexirods from the Dollar Store that are going back: Who knew all flexirods weren't created equally? These things are poorly made and look like they are just WAITING to grab hold to and tangle up some of my hair.

 

[CodeRed]

I think I'm only going to end with the two purchases I've done so far this month. Some unexpected things have come up and I don't want to feel like I'm "wasting" money on hair products instead of using it towards those items.

 

[rileypak]

Made my first of three skin care purchases for the month.
Still planning to only make two hair purchases.

Aw, man, I hope I can find the receipt for the mousse. It left my hair tacky and dry. I'd rather have the Design Essentials honey line one.

I'm still doing well! I did not buy those Kimmaytube clips I want. I'm thinking about getting a hard bonnet dryer, though. Hope I can find one for very little money that is awesome. I'd actually rather have some kind of hand-held attachment to fit over my rollers, since I travel a bit.

I bought Bekura's Honey Latte and Apple Sorghum last night before the sale ended plus I used a credit of $7.30 I still had with them toward my purchase.

I'm hoping Hattache has a sale so I can get some heavy sealant (MHC) Sophia's Grease and I'm out if APB Refresher sprays. These items keep my hair right and I am totally out of them so I am just replenishing my staples.

 

[Prettymetty]

I was going to stop in Sally's and grab a few things, but it's raining too hard... I don't need anything anyway. Just wanted to look

Ain't nothing wrong with lookin'!

If looking is wrong, I don't wannabe right!

[YvetteWithJoy]

Be careful!: Take no funds or purchasing means! LOL!

Today I walked all through Jenny Beauty because I knew I wasn't going to make a purchase: I'm done as much as I can be sending my money to others. So I knew I was safe!

I love window shopping but I don't do window shopping very well. I always end up buying something

My next April Style Challenge attempt will be a deep wave curl former set, and the cheapest dryer option I have found so far is the below, which I just purchased. A Youtuber says it works with curlformers. I shall see!

I saw those a week ago and added to my amazon wish list. I need to get them because the scrunchies I do have are tearing out my hair and I feel these will be gentler on my hair.

I've been really enjoying them so far. I use them to bun my hair at night and my ends are nice and smooth in the morning.

Thanks for sharing your results with them @charmtreese. Now I need to go get them asap.

Ok I lied I ordered one of those hair dryer attachment hood things and a hair dryer off of ebay. They're shipping from China and are going to take forever to get here but I just want to try out this system to see how it works to heat my head for conditioning purposes. It only came up to around $3 for everything and I'm only going to be using it to experiment with the effects of heating cassia/henna/indigo while on my head as opposed to just letting it sit. I was going to buy a $30 microwaveable conditioning cap but I already tried on of those and it doesn't stay heated long enough/distribute the heat well enough for me so we'll see about this $3 experiment.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

It's just before half the month is up, and I have reached my low-buy limit.

I have already purchased 4 things (mainly style tools). Hubby said, "I thought you were on a no buy this month."

Me: Low buy. Low. Buy.

 

[rileypak]

Completed all hair purchases for the month unless circumstances occur.

Three skin purchases done...there may be a fourth.

 

[Aggie]

I'm already at $190.00 in hair product purchases and that's not even half of what I actually wanted to buy. I overlooked quite a few sales. I easily could have spent well over $500 because of all the sales going on right now. I picked the ones I need the most of course.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm getting tired of styling my hair. After my styles challenge ends, I am buying a 360 lace wig.
