    Pleasant mask

    AHH I LOVE THIS CAREFREE PRODUCT😍 Functional pump bottle and a product that you can slather all over your head without worry, what could be better! #lykoinflutester #kevinmurphy I really liked the idea that the hair mask is in a pump bottle. The pump dispensed the product well even though the consistency was thick (curious to see how to get the product out when it runs low). The product itself had a pleasant scent, hard to describe but maybe a bit citrusy? I don’t know👀 The best part of the product was definitely that you can also massage it into the scalp! Context: I have a sensitive scalp that reacts quickly and gets oily fast. I didn’t notice that my hair got oily faster than normal or looked greasy. On the contrary, somehow I had really fresh and easily manageable hair, the best result came when I locked in the moisture from this mask with conditioner💦 If you’re using Murphy’s shampoo and conditioner, I feel that this is a must step to bring salon-level results✨ Because I felt every time I used all three products together that it was like I had been to the hairdresser!

    Pretty strong scent

    Not for scent-sensitive❌ The conditioner surprisingly had a much stronger scent than the shampoo. Not the most pleasant scent to use, but when dry, the hair smells like a salon visit! If I had to describe the scent, I would say it's quite chemical. The consistency was a bit greasy and thicker, but it spread nicely in the hair. The hair had a gorgeous shine, but I would have wished for a bit more moisture. When using the hair mask, it did its job well by locking in the moisture provided by the mask👏🏼 I don't have data on the durability of the hair color, but besides the shine, the hair felt soft, so I guess it does its job😄 The bottle design felt a bit unnecessary here since the product is thick enough that you have to squeeze it out. I also think it would have been more logical if the colors of the bottles were reversed👀 All in all, a pretty okay conditioner, it wasn't a match for my needs, but I don't see any shocking reasons not to buy it if, for example, the product description is what you're looking for! #lykoinflutester #kevinmurphy

    Very foamy shampoo!

    So wild bottle shape but I like it! This shampoo works especially well when you just need to tilt the bottle a little and the product comes out🕺🏻 #lykoinflutester #kevinmurphy Context: I have a sensitive scalp that seems to react quite quickly to unsuitable products and also gets oily quickly😴 This shampoo feels like a good choice for such a scalp! I didn't notice any irritation in my scalp, and thanks to the good foam, my hair also became really clean and fresh, so I didn't have to wash my hair every day! I didn't really notice how this shampoo maintained hair color, but it gave shine nonetheless! The shampoo surprisingly dried my hair a lot, so the best combo would be to choose a moisturizing conditioner/hair mask to make the result worth its price! There was a small scent in this that I can't even put into words, but after the shower, my hair smelled like it had just been dyed, it was confusing (Maybe this brings the salon feeling home😆). Even though the bottle is relatively small, it lasts quite a while because with a small amount, I could already foam my whole head well.

    Shade 1.75 (N)

    I’m sorry but I hate this😭 I tried everything to get this to work! With primer and without, with different moisturizers and products, and with all of them I always have the same problem: The foundation moves and doesn’t stick. At first, this foundation seemed quite good, a light coverage consistency that gives a velvety finish. Sounds good to me. I also liked this bottle, I can imagine that you can squeeze out the last drops when the time comes. The shade was darker than expected, but on the face, the color difference thankfully wasn’t as radical as in the example video. I could have definitely chosen a lighter shade. When applying the foundation, you can already notice how the base doesn’t adhere to the face but moves and brings out everything that you just covered well. Also, no other makeup product on top seemed to stay in place. Even powder didn’t seem to have any effect. All impurities/acne scars shine through, and the makeup looks messy and cheap. If a collar or something touches the face, all the makeup has wiped off that area. Also, the oiliness of the face was maximal even though this cream was supposed to control it😮 By the end of the day, the foundation had also settled into the lines and around the nose. I would be interested to hear what products others have used to make this look good because I literally ran out of options on the shelf as I really tried everything to get this to work😩 #lykoinflutester #lumene

      Hi Amanda, Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️ We completely understand your frustration – it’s unfortunate when a new foundation doesn’t perform as expected, even after trying different primers, moisturizers, and application methods. Lumene Blur Even Cover Foundation 1.75 is a lightweight, velvety coverage cream, but its consistency may require the right application method and tool for the best results. Many customers and makeup testers have achieved significantly better results by using: 1. A makeup sponge (beauty blender type) for application instead of using a brush. Lightly dampen the sponge and dab the cream onto the face – this helps the product blend into the skin and reduces sliding. 2. A light primer for oily or uneven skin (matte or blur primer) gives the cream a grip and prevents sliding throughout the day. 3. A thin layer of foundation at a time, layering as needed for coverage, prevents the products from settling into fine lines. 4. Additionally, it’s advisable to lightly dab the powder with a makeup sponge or a dense powder puff instead of using a brush, keeping the finish looking neater. We understand that this product hasn’t worked as expected for you, but with the right tools and prep, it can perform significantly better. We hope these tips help ❤️ If you’d like, we can also recommend other makeup products or combinations that work better for oily or challenging skin and make the makeup long-lasting.

    Tropical Stick SPF30

    This really reminded me of some familiar fruit candy🤤 #lykoinflutester The scent is really delicious! I thought it was nice that the appearance of this product doesn't really emphasize what delicious flavor is at play, because I understand that the threshold for buying such slightly more special flavors can vary depending on gender. So you can enjoy this in peace😉 Despite the higher SPF (which is btw super for summer), the consistency is relatively light. Maybe a bit thicker than other Carmex lip balms. The balm still spreads nicely on the lips, feels really nourishing, and is long-lasting. The lips feel soft, and despite the harsh -20 degree frost, the lips are still in good condition💪🏼 One of the best lip balms I've tried, high quality, nourishing, and delicious😋 And now you can get better sun protection for summer too! #carmex

    Pomegranate Stick

    Can pomegranate even go wrong?😋 #lykoinflutester Good scent, but much milder than, for example, the legendary cherry lip balm! And I'm specifically talking about the scent because I don't see any reason why this is referred to as a flavor😂 This tastes like lip balm! When applying, it creates a good layer of product, the texture feels high quality and nourishing. A slight tingling and cooling sensation comes to the lips after application, which is characteristic of Carmex balms. The longevity on the lips is really good, and the lips are soft after use. If applied at night, there’s no 'film' feeling on the lips in the morning as if you haven’t applied anything. The lips also haven’t fallen into the lip balm cycle, which I think indicates a quality product. So the lips don’t dry out from use. Plus for the fun instructions on the back encouraging to keep the lip balm safe😂 #carmex

    Delicious trio!

    Super sweet and right away I thought about how perfect these would be as a filling for a gift😍 #lykoinflutester 3 successful flavors, and I would recognize each one with my eyes closed, the scents match perfectly even ANANAS MINT which I didn't expect! In these flavors, the taste comes through better compared to Carmex's stick versions. Compared to the sticks, these are also a bit lighter on the lips, and I don't know if it's this tube or the consistency or even both, but there's a bit of a lipgloss-like vibe here👀 That's why I think these are perfect for sprinkling in different bags and pockets. The product spreads nicely and leaves a nice shine on the lips. In my opinion, these are more for daytime use than for nighttime care. Nice package to explore different options and the cutest gift from the world! #carmex

    Where's the WOW feeling?

    Maybe I raised my expectations too high because I fell off really quickly. Let's start with the jar: the large size of the jar is really misleading and gives a distorted picture of the product's actual amount. I appreciate, however, that I think I could buy a refill pack. The product itself smells really strong, I'm not sensitive to scents, but this was really intense. The consistency was greasy, but it absorbed into the skin really quickly. Although my skin felt soft after use, I don't feel that this cream moisturized enough because my skin felt dry in the mornings. So maybe this is more of a wrinkle cream? The plumping effect was experienced in my eyes in the morning when I hadn't read the instructions closely enough and the cream had gotten into the area around my eyes. I looked like I had been crying for a week😂 So watch out for your eyes! Because of this, my use of the cream became very cautious, so maybe I didn't get the promised results? The instructions say the product is suitable for use in the mornings as well, but since the product didn't work under makeup at all, I only used it in the evenings. It's a shame, but maybe I just wasn't the right person for the product because I've seen good results here in the reviews! #lykoinflutester #larocheposay

      Hey Amanda! I'm sorry to hear that this wasn't a perfect match for you. With some creams, you really have to be careful with sensitive and thin skin around the eyes! Good to hear that the unpleasant reaction has already eased! My best tip is to mix a few drops of facial oil into the night cream. That way, the cream becomes a bit more nourishing right away 😍 Thanks for your thorough product review, we appreciate it 🤍

    Dry skin friends!

    I understand why many mention in their reviews that the face doesn't feel clean after use. The skin feels like it has been rubbed with oil, which was really confusing at first😄 But that doesn't mean the face hasn't been cleaned! This product is not meant for makeup removal but specifically for the second part of double cleansing to clean the face. For my needs, I feel that this product is more what I crave for my body. Very dry and itchy skin, so I also see how this works perfectly for people who have the same problem on their faces! The product leaves the skin wonderfully soft🤩 I love Cerave products when I know they are safe to use, and it's great that this product can also be used for the body. The pump works, but the product can surprisingly run out when you can't visually track its usage. For those with dry skin, this is really an effective product, the skin doesn't feel tight at all after washing! #lykoinflutester #cerave

    This can't be without significance😍

    Let's start with the most important: pat the product onto your face, don't rub!! There are really big differences in the result😱 I was confused at first when the product didn't feel like it was doing much, but when I changed the application technique, everything changed. My skin felt super hydrated and soft, and this product is perfect as an addition to basically any routine without mixing it in😍 It can be used morning and night and also works under makeup, which is a big plus! The product absorbs quickly and gives an immediately hydrated feeling, which is also visible from the outside! The glass jar looks really luxurious on the shelf, and the pump dispenses good amounts; I used 2 pumps per use. With a little adjustment to the instructions, I recommend using a facial toner before this, so the skin is prepared to absorb the moisture better! I also love that the product is safe to use around the eye area👏🏼 And I always appreciate when skincare doesn't use unnecessary fragrances or other potentially irritating things. My skin has felt promised fuller, and I will definitely continue using the product! #lykoinflutester #vichy
