Buttery soft and blends out completely dreamy!
I had the opportunity to test the LâOrĂ©al Paris Lumi Bronze Le Stick Soleil Bronzerstick in the shade 110 Toasted Sunlight as a test pilot via Smartson. For reference, I am 52 years old with a light to medium skin tone (warm-neutral undertone) and have combination skin. First impression & application My absolute first impression when I applied the product was immediately âwow, how buttery soft!â. Thanks to the creamy texture, itâs sooo easy to blend out. I own bronzer sticks from many different brands, but this one blends absolutely the most beautifully of them all. I applied the stick directly over my foundation and then used a foundation brush to work it in, which went completely effortlessly. Color, pigment, and result When looking at the shade â110 Toasted Sunlight,â it might look like it leans towards the orange side. But to my delight, it did not do that on me at all, which is otherwise a very common problem for my skin tone. The product has a very nice color result and is completely buildable. If you happen to be a little heavy-handed, itâs no problem; itâs super easy to tone down the color again. I have even touched up the product in the evening directly on top of powder, and it didnât get blotchy at all. Conclusion This was an incredibly positive experience. I sincerely hope that LâOrĂ©al keeps these in their range and expands with even more shades. If they also released blush in exactly this formula, it would be an absolute dream! I really like it.

Magical volume and length â truly gives a false eyelash effect!
I had the chance to test L'OrĂ©al Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama Chromatic Mascara in the shade Brown Leather as a test pilot via Smartson. As you can see in my before and after pictures, the difference is huge. My conditions & application For reference, my own eyelashes are barely visible normally. Without an eyelash curler and mascara, they look very sparse, short, and unremarkable. After using my eyelash curler, I applied this mascara, and to my great surprise, I saw a fantastic result immediately. Even though the color is brown (Brown Leather), it gave incredible depth, fantastic length, and max volume to my lashes without me even needing to apply multiple layers. Durability & removal Since the formula is not waterproof, it is extremely easy and smooth to remove in the evening with some micellar water. Despite that, I have had no problems with smudging or fallout under the eyes. It held perfectly all day and looked exactly the same from early morning until bedtime. Conclusion This mascara gave me a real "false lash effect," which I absolutely love. I am so incredibly happy with this result, and this will definitely be on my shopping list next time it's time for a new mascara!

Good redness reduction, but too dark and heavy for my taste
I got to test this CC cream as a test pilot via Smartson. To give some context, I am 52 years old, have a light to medium skin tone with a warm to neutral undertone, and a typical combination skin. My problem areas are mainly visible redness on the cheeks, chin, and in the nasolabial folds/around the sides of the nose. **Application and feel** I applied the product with my hands to let the body heat warm it up, which made it melt very nicely into the skin. A big plus is that it actually didnât settle into my fine lines. It does a pretty decent job of reducing the redness (you can see the results in my before and after pictures). The downside, however, is that I feel you need to use significantly more product than you really want to get the coverage. This makes it feel a bit too heavy on the skin. I personally prefer a much lighter foundation feel, and I donât get that here. If I were to use this daily, Iâm afraid the tube wouldnât last very long at all. **Color and shade** The biggest challenge for me is the color. It has a strong tendency to lean towards a deeper beige shade that pulls orange on my skin tone. However, it blended much better on the days I used self-tanner. **Conclusion** The product definitely hides redness, but I think it suits best someone who has a slightly more sun-kissed complexion/skin tone than me and who doesnât mind a richer and heavier feel on the face. *(Review in collaboration with Smartson)*1 product in post Good redness reduction, but too dark and heavy for my taste25 views - The post was made 1 years
Question about these Lyko Lovables
I see in the many comments that there are only 1400 of these Lovables available to purchase, but are they 1400 to each country you sell to or only 1400 to all the European countries you sell to? As I see comments in many different languages I. The comment threads, I was curious how difficult it actually is 1400 to Sweden or to the entire EU is a needle in a haystack chance. Is this the standard amount ever available for purchase per Lovable Launch?1 product in post Question about these Lyko Lovables656 views- The comment was made 1 yearsOh wow, so thatâs beyond a slim chance. Has Lyko, at least, thought of limiting each Lovables purchase as one per customer so it doesnât also add to the negative uproar? Or if more than one is ordered, then extras can be removed when you start to process each order, if itâs a checkout processing issue that canât properly limit one per customer? Or heck, maybe consider putting out surveys to loyal customers about the Lovables purchase process or even get a âpre interestâ button added to where you can see the demand for a specific Lovable Launch and then set the limit below that number to a reasonable degree because some people just may not buy it anyway, even if they had interest. Just some thoughts Iâm throwing out as a customer for many years, because I donât think the negative backlash is worth the limited amount of people who get to celebrate their âwinâ. Or put another way, it makes more people angry or disappointed as a customer of Lyko than happy to be a Lyko customer, as it makes more people feel less valued as a loyal customer. Of course this only pertains to the customers who even want Lyko Lovables.1 likes
