Here are a few hair, body and skin care products Jess has gone through in October & November and a major challenge for the upcoming year! - Author: Jess - Tags: #Empties, Beauty & Skincare, #Caudalie, #Dove, #Avène, #Moroccanoil, #lumene It's Black Friday today and I have been bombarded with dozens of emails PER BRAND to make me want more, desire more, crave more and purchase more. I almost fell for that but I. did. not. buy. a. thing. **Yet.** So it's time to focus on what I already have - and put that extra money on my savings account so I don't feel tempted to touch it! - and what I have been using as of lately. As I have done previously (here, here and here!), let me share with you what I have been using and what I will re-purchase or never again! #### Check all past empties reviews: - [****September 2024**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-review-of-products-september-2024/) - [****July 2024**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-review-of-products-july-2024/) - [****Winter 2023**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-review-of-products-used-in-european-winter-2023/) *Here are my 7 latest empties:* ## HAIR ### Moroccanoil Treatment Oil You might feel you have already seen me talk about this product before? It's because [I have indeed](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-review-of-products-september-2024/). I go through one every other month since 2012, I love putting a few drops with my hydrating or detangling cream before styling my hair in the morning. **Will rebuy, always.** ## BODY ### Afrikin Body Wash First of all: I love the packaging aesthetically! It's not the most practical under the shower or with a lot of moisture (it kind of moulds?!) but it is indeed pretty. I only find AFRIKIN products when I stay at The Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa and I love them. They combine the most luxurious African oils and scents turning them into something absolutely unique. I might have snatched a few back home - they smell so good! I can't resist -, as these are amenities worth the steal! ### Dove Cucumber & Green Tea Deodorant I went through a bottle of the spray version [in September](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-review-of-products-september-2024/) and this is the roll-on one. Dove deodorants never fail me, they will always be my go-to. I have been using the cucumber line for years and it is my favourite. I do rebuy this in spray and roll-on very often. ## SKIN CARE ### Avène Cleanance Cleasing Gel I love this product so much I had bought two containers, one is in my Algarve house in Portugal and the other, the one emptied, was in my house in Luanda, Angola. And I also have a small travel-size container I used to fill for any upcoming trip that could arise. The fact that I use this product as a cleanser after I remove my makeup is a bit of a legacy of being a former acne-prone skin girl as it is aimed at that type of skin foremost. I rarely get spots lately - only around that time of the month - so this might be the last time I have purchased it but not because I don't love it - I absolutely do! - but I need something aimed at my now more on the dry end of things skin. ### Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correction I used this product for the first time many years ago and hadn't repurchased it in a while. But I saw that Andreea Ali had mentioned it as one of her most recommended products and I bought it again. It is a serum I use after double cleasing my skin and leave it on for a minute or two before I apply my sunscreen and moisturiser. I still do not feel confident enough to tell you I truly feel it does something on my dark spots - I feel nothing really does - but I know serums are an exercise of patience and there is so much they can do. I would rebuy this one but I am not in a hurry, let's put it that way! ### Caudalie Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner I must confess I am not the best toner user in the world as I often forget it in my skincare routine. I hope Caroline Hirons, the skincare (and toning) queen doesn't read this! But I need to improve at this so that it also helps in the exfoliating process and in the aforementioned topic of improving my dark spots. This is the travel-size container I just finished yet I have the regular size one already open in Algarve but hard to finish as I am not currently living there and I cannot pack it for a travel. First world problems indeed! ### Lumene Waterproof Eye and Lip Make Up Remover I have spoken about Lumene a few months ago and [how it became my favourite skincare brand](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/how-lumene-became-my-favourite-nordic-brand/) in the world. I went through this bottle way too fast, it was effective and gentle on my eyes. I don't use waterproof make up but it worked on the one I use. Could rebuy. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2024/11/IMG_1186.jpg) 💅 As I finish this article, I decided to also share with you how many products I have in my beauty inventory - a Google Sheet I thoroughly update with every purchase and every product I finish - so that I can get to the goal of at least finishing 2025 with less products than I currently have today in 2024 which amounts to the astounding total of ****241**! So let's put the goal to finish next year with under 200, what do you think? Too easy? Too harsh? Let's see how it goes! > *Like this content?
