Wenventory 2017

Kjelle — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 04:37:59 GMT

I noticed there was no thread today, so I got going on my own Wenventory. I almost didn't do it, but I knew I'd regret it. I can see that where I have not as many bottles that are half gone, I have laid in quite a few of things I use a lot. I also got an SHP gallon, so I bought all the auxiliary products to go with it. Last WEN year was a 'deal buying year' but this WEN year, I'm mainly buying ony when I don't have something or don't have one back-up on the shelf. At least now that I cleanse about 4 times weekly, I see myself using things more quickly.

@Kjelle holy moly woman! I thought I had a lot! You have a WEN boutique!

I agree this was a buyer's dream year for me too. I'm using up some stuff that I like but don't love. Well don't love as much now because I am FVWP & WRC obsessed😘 My curls are happy bouncy shiny ! I do still love 613 styling product best though. The oils I love in any scent !

Re: Wenventory 2017

You are a much braver woman than I @Kjelle

Gram W — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 05:19:49 GMT

I did an inventory last January but have continued to complete my ADs. I think I better do a new inventory because i probably have more than enough to last over a year. If I make a purchase I better put a date on it. Sorry I have not done that before. I am definitely set for basics but usually have to try new things from WEN. I love what it has done for my hair and skin.

Re: Wenventory 2017

ANewHue — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 05:28:51 GMT

@Kjelle I have three ad boxes sitting in my hallway waiting t go downstairs after my DH goes back to work. I'm not sure I even want to do an inventory at this point. My oils have outgrown a second location at this point.

@HSB1204 It's nice to be with others (insert "enablers") who share my WEN obsession/hoarding tendencies. 🤣 It's been fun experimenting, but have settled quite nicely on what gives me consistently good hair days. I need to use up and weed out what I do not prefer so I can concentrate on just stocking up on what works. I don't mind having a large stash of my favs, but having all these products in my stash that are not repurchases are what I want gone. Lol! I do cleanse daily so it should't take me that long.

Wow, considering his prices some of you must have very large amounts of money invested in your Wen products. Obviously you think the results are well worth it or you wouldn't be laying out that kind of cash. Happy Wenning!

Re: Wenventory 2017

untitled — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 14:31:13 GMT

you are all so brave - I would not know where to begin.

but I know I have way more of all the other WEN goodies

than CCs. like too much more!

I won't say I don't have a lot of $ invested in my WEN stash, but I will say I have never bought anything "full price". Chaz brings us fantastic deals here at the Q (along with good sales on his website) between TSV's, ODO's, Event Prices and kits that the prices I find are actually quite reasonable.

Also, for the very first time I am spending my $ on products that actually deliver on what they (Chaz) promise - for me anyways and my hair. I have wasted $1,000's over the years on expensive high end products that I wound up either giving away or trashed. At least with WEN, nothing is wasted, and thats why I have no problem spending the $ I do on it. I no longer am "wasting" my $.

@AmericanBulldogMom Yes, I agree. When you first start with Wen you have to figure out what works for you and then just use up what doesn't work for you. When I first started using Wen (about three and a half years ago) they had the core formulas in 6 oz. bottles and they were great for testing out what worked for you. Not that the 16 oz. bottle is huge but if I find that something doesn't really work for me I really want to get rid of it but I find so little motivation to actually use it up because I want to keep using the ones that I had good results with.

Jax016 — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 18:05:20 GMT

@Kjelle You have a lot. I have a lot too maybe not as much as yours but hsve enough that will not order any CC this year don't need it.

Re: Wenventory 2017

Kjelle — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 19:33:19 GMT

At this point, I definitely feel I've overbought. At first, I got the seasonal TSV auto ships which included a 16oz and RTM. Then if I really liked the seasonal I bought 2 sets. However, I didn't cleanse as often then, somit built up. Meanwhile, new seasonals were being introduced. I am also am not much of a mixer. When the seasonal styling products were introduced, I went down to a max order of 1 whole set. Also, the seasonals don't go away after one year, so it is now easier to buy less and see if you want more next year. I also never used to get multiple TSVs but I did get some multiples which contributed to having a massive stash. I'm very much enjoying whittling down now. And as @ANewHue said, at least I don't feel I am "wasting money." It all get some used. The only products I've purchased that I will not used are 319 VTS and the Texturizing Spray. Now my challenge is coming in with a greatly reduced Wenventory for 2018.

Re: Wenventory 2017

ANewHue — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 20:52:30 GMT

Omg @Kjelle. I hate this time when it looks like I'm going overboard. I dated and brought down my ad's and my pile has gone from 2 to 3. I have three oils stashes now. I know this will be short lived though, almost gone is a 32 oz SAM, a WCM, and a 319 so when I replenish I'll be back down to two piles. My favorite time of inventory is when I'm emptying boxes. I believe I use up to 4 32 oz per season, so that's 16 a year, I have 15 assorted TS's and about the same in 32 oz seasonals so there's my two year plan. Ut oh, just remembered I still have a gallon of BGT. Lol. Oh well, we all can't be perfect.

Re: Wenventory 2017

LAMS — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 23:23:12 GMT

YES!!! Exactly.....I always buy from the Q. Chaz brings us tremendous values. I, too, have wasted money on soooooooo many hair products. Once I found WEN.....none of my money goes down the drain. My hair has never been better and I'll never go back to *sham*poo*
