Mask!
As #lykoinflutester I got to test the Pure Cure Scalp Conditioner from #bylyko The first thing that strikes me is that it’s hard to test just one conditioner. The result depends just as much on the shampoo, and I see both products as a unit. The plastic bottle is delightfully spring green. The negative is that I can’t possibly squeeze product out of the bottle. The plastic is rock hard, and it ends up with me having to unscrew the cap and pour conditioner into my palm. For me, this is a mask, and as such, it works really well. The scent is a subtle floral-citrus and feels very fresh. The mask is easy to distribute and feels pleasantly cool on the scalp. Easy to rinse out and leaves the hair soft and full. My hair is thin, fine, and short. I have long struggled with itching on my scalp and sometimes dry patches. Thankfully, I have neither oily hair nor dandruff. The itching disappeared practically immediately!!! I assume that the shampoo combined with the conditioner worked together to solve the problem. This is a good product at a good price. The only negative is the packaging, which I really have to abuse to get product out. Highly recommend if you have itching on your scalp!1 product in post Mask!76 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Lovely shampoo!
As #lykoinflutester I have tried Pure Cure Scalp Shampoo #bylyko and I am really satisfied! The shampoo comes in a lovely lime green plastic bottle. It is quite thin and runny, so you have to be a bit careful so that too much product doesn't spill out. The scent is lightly floral-citrus with an undertone of bubble-gum. I like the scent because it is so light, it doesn't overpower at all. The shampoo lathers well with thick white foam. Feels economical, a little dollop is enough. My hair is dry, short-cut with thin, fine strands. The scalp is sensitive and easily irritated, and I easily get dry patches with itching. However, I have neither oily hair nor dandruff. I notice right away, after the first use, that the scalp feels good. The usual itchiness after washing is not there, and the hair feels healthy and smooth. Unfortunately, the volume might be "so-so", but this is not a volumizing shampoo. I will use the shampoo now and then, as a treatment. I notice that if I use it several times a week, my hair becomes drier than usual. In summary: a really good shampoo that cures itching in the scalp but dries out a bit if used often. A cost-effective product that I recommend!1 product in post Lovely shampoo! - The post was made 1 monthRating: 2 out of 5
Dry mascara
I was happy when I got to test this luxury mascara! I was less happy when I discovered that the tube was unsealed and not really closed. Unfortunately, the review is based on the fact that the mascara seemed dry and old, but I have to go by the product I received. My eyelashes are long and sparse. They are hard to style, and the result easily becomes spider-leg-like. The brush was big, clunky, and unnecessarily tricky. It is twisted at 40 degrees and easily picks up too much product. However, it is sturdy, and you get a good grip. The result was unfortunately clumped lashes with lumps at the ends, i.e., the result I usually get with an old mascara. The color is nice, and the mascara holds up in wet and dry conditions all day without flaking and smudging. In the evening, I do my usual cleansing routine for the lashes, water, remover, and micellar water, and all mascara traces disappear. It's sad to only give two stars, but that’s due to dried product, a difficult brush, and a horrendous price. I am participating in a test panel and received a free test product.1 product in post Dry mascara657 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 1 monthHow sad! I bought the new Idole when it came out, fluttered something but I don't think it was on par with the other previously released mascaras. This is the one that came out after it.2 likes

Moisture and Stickiness
As #influtester, I have tested the Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream from #cosrx The product consists of 92% snail mucin and a little bit of other goodies like hyaluronate and allantoin. After the summer's snail hunt and subsequent slaughter, it felt a bit tricky to use snail mucin as a moisturizer. The cream came in a plastic jar with a screw lid. Another lid, an inner lid, was opened with a tab, causing quite a bit of mucin to spill out. I saw that the cream is available in a tube. That would probably work significantly better. The contents of the jar are whitish and odorless but very sticky and runny. Strangely enough, the cream is incredibly economical. Despite 4 weeks of use and a lot of spillage, the jar is still almost full 🤣 I have patted in a generous dose of cream every morning and evening after cleansing. Unfortunately, the cream does not provide my dry skin with enough moisture. Already after an hour, it starts to feel tight on my face. It gets a little better if I "capsule" the cream with a few drops of facial oil. I would think that the cream works better in the summer than in the winter when my skin is at its driest. It may also be that aging skin needs a bit more powerful creams. In summary: buy a tube instead of a jar and use it in the summer if you have dry skin. A big plus for the cream being incredibly economical and affordable.1 product in post Moisture and Stickiness358 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Lovely slime
As #lykoinflutester I have tested lovely Korean skincare with snail slime. #cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a product with many uses! My skin is dry and gets drier with the years. Additionally, I have some lines and pigmentation changes. The essence (I don't want to call it serum, even though it is used the same way) is completely fragrance-free and transparent, gooey and sticky. The packaging is superb, a plastic bottle with a pump that is easy to dose. The essence is patted into cleansed skin as a first step before any serum and day/night cream. I think it sinks in quite easily, and the skin feels rehydrated, cooled, and lovely. Sometimes I use it on the backs of my hands. Super lovely but not so long-lasting hydration. I have even used the essence successfully on a red and irritated baby bottom. When it comes to the rating, I am torn! If it were summer, the essence would probably work better as a moisturizer, but now it is winter, and it doesn't quite suffice, so I have to layer on other products as well to prevent my skin from cracking and stinging. I also don't see any difference in glow and pigmentation after a month of use. Therefore, it gets four stars despite the price being ridiculously good right now (Lyko 130 kr)1 product in post Lovely slime371 views - The post was made 6 monthsRating: 4 out of 5
Great setting spray
Really great setting spray that works for my dry skin. I don't use much makeup, but sometimes I have primer and foundation, and over this, I spray a thin layer. Gets just the right amount of glow without being shiny 😊 Also, no scent on the product. Positive! I've used the spray at the gym and, yes, any makeup stays in place and doesn't run. Unfortunately, it doesn't get five stars. A bit too expensive spray!1 product in post Great setting spray1696 views - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Perfect for the kids
As #lykoinflutester I got to test the Pop Lip & Cheek Oil Black Honey Glow. Over the years, I have bought and used many products from #clinique, mainly skincare, and have always been satisfied and thought the brand holds high quality. However, I am a bit torn when it comes to the oil. The packaging is small and convenient. It is easy to carry in my handbag, and the screw cap closes tightly to avoid spills. Plus, it looks nice. It is important to shake the bottle well before use. Otherwise, the oil can look streaky. The applicator is good and dispenses the color nicely. The oil is completely odorless and tasteless. Wonderful to avoid a nasty taste on the lips! Unfortunately, the color is too strong for me when it comes to the lips. I am quite pale, and strong berry colors create too much contrast with my skin. I also find that the oil "slips here and there" and ends up in the lines (wrinkles 😀) around my mouth. Overall, I have difficulty with greasy and oily products on my lips. On the cheeks, the oil gives a completely different impression and provides a significantly better feel. It does feel a bit sticky, but it melts in easily and gives a sheer and natural look. Strangely enough, the color suits me really well on the cheeks. The oil also stays much better on the cheeks and doesn't need to be touched up throughout the day. For me, this is an oil for the cheeks but nothing for the lips, and therefore the rating will be three stars. Thank you for letting me try a product I would hardly have bought since the price is on the high side.1 product in post Perfect for the kids - The post was made 7 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
Oh so good
The bronzer came with a box and I quickly sorted it out. I have tried bronzers from another brand and concluded that the product does not suit my pale, aging skin. Additionally, the bronzers have sparkled and shimmered in the sunlight, which looked strange. The other day, I decided to try Isadora's bronzer before giving it away. I immediately decided to keep it! The powder melts into the skin and gives a very natural color. No glitter at all in the shade golden tan. The result is really nice, completely without cakiness. Also, the price is fantastic. I will buy again! [hashtag]1 product in post Oh so good4851 views - The post was made 8 monthsRating: 2 out of 5
Not my scent
I also received a fragrance sample of Ella Ella, thanks for that! Always fun to try something new, especially scents since wrong purchases can get expensive. A sweet little mini bottle, round and chubby, arrived in the mail. The contents are a lovely pink and the bottle opens when the cap is pulled upwards. No spray function at all! One problem though! I wasn't at all fond of the scent. It's too "flat" and vanilla-scented for my taste. I love scents that have clear differences between top, heart, and base notes. I think the vanilla scent in Ella Ella is way too strong and kills all the other nuances. If you love vanilla scent, this should be a clear favorite, but, sigh, this is not for me. It might partly be because I'm a bit older and I feel this scent might suit a younger age group better. Thanks to Cacharel for letting me try!❤️ You have several scents that I really like. I would have loved to give a better rating, but reviews should be honest! #lykoreview1 product in post Not my scent988 views - The post was made 9 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
For the handbag
A super great brush to carry in the handbag. I have previously bought a larger size but now I got a small one that fits in the handbag. Works wonderfully for my short, thin hair and feels gentle on both hair and scalp. And the color makes me happy… 😍1 product in post For the handbag591 views
