Here are a few hair, nail and skin care products Jess has gone through in August & September - Author: Jess - Tags: #Empties, Beauty & Skincare, #Shea Moisture, #Moroccanoil, #Feno, #Dove, #Essie, #Clinique #### Check all past empties reviews: - [****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 latest 7 empties:* ## HAIR ### Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Shampoo + Conditioner + Leave-in I bought this trio last year and used it, interspeeded with other hair products, in the past 12 months. I must confess I had heard a lot about Shea Moisture in the past decade as a great reference for Afro/Curly hair. I feel that my hair was nurtured after usage but I had a hard time with the texture and how it did not feel more detangled than ever before as other products do. I do not intend on rebuying. ### Moroccanoil Treatment Oil I go through one every other month since 2012, I love putting a few drops with my hydrating or detangling cream. Will rebuy, always. ### Moroccanoil Hydration Styling Cream Already spoke about this one [a few months ago](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-afro-curly-hair-essentials-march-2024/), it's one of my favourite creams ever. I go through one every other month or every quarter. Will always rebuy and stock it. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2024/11/IMG_0703-1.jpg) **A few products I emptied in August-September* ## BODY ### Feno de Portugal Deodorant This is a Portuguese brand I discovered a few months ago and they have hygiene products such as deodorants, shower gels and soaps. I enjoyed this one and felt fresh all day. Would rebuy if necessary. ### Dove Cucumber & Green Tea Deodorant If Dove launches a deodorant, I try it. And I have been using the cucumber line for years and it is my favourite. It doesn't fail me even in the most scorching Angolan summer days. I do rebuy this in spray and roll-on very often. ## NAILS ### Essie Apricot Nail & Cuticle Oil Love this oil. I have a Sunday Nail routine where I remove my nail polish, remove my cuticles (I am rubbish as it but I do my best), I file my nails, apply three coats of nail polish ([**Eternal Optimist**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-review-of-products-march-2025/) or Fifth Avenue, both by Essie), a coat of speed setter and when the whole process is done, I rub my nails and cuticles with a bit of Apricot Oil. I love how my nails feel fresh and ready to tackle the week with this routine. I do not have the most beautiful nails every but doing the same process week after week makes me feel more confident about them. Will rebuy. ## SKIN CARE ### Clinique Take the day off Make up Remover Just tried this sample in July for the first time and I liked it. It made me buy the full size version afterwards. It focuses on lid, lashes and lips make up and this is where I need products to be effective on without affecting my eyes. ## MAKE UP ### Clinique Quickliner for Brows Eyebrow Pencil 04 Deep Brown I thoroughly enjoyed this product. As I have lots of gaps in my brows, I have been using and perfecting my brow pencil usage in the past few years. And it truly does frame my face very nicely. The only downsize is how fast I go through a pencil, I need to make a stash! [In my latest trip to Cape Town](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/cape-town-in-a-nutshell/) I looked for it at several beauty counters at the V&A Waterfront but couldn't find any as Clinique doesn't carry brow products in South Africa. If this is true, WHY???!!! Will rebuy online then. > *Like this content?
