Direct glass skin glow
The first impression was positive when I saw that it was a two-part mask, as it usually works best for the fit. The actual application worked okay but wasn't particularly comfortable the whole time. However, the mask gave a clear and immediate “glass skin” effect with hydrated skin and a nice glow that lasted the rest of the day. The effect felt more temporary than long-lasting. Therefore, the mask is nice for occasions when you want extra glow, but considering the price, I find it less worthwhile than the cream. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.1 product in post Direct glass skin glow21 views - The post was made 14 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Affordable day cream with a clear “glass skin” effect
I have tested L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler Glass Skin Liquid Cream morning and evening for three weeks according to the instructions. The cream has a light and quite neutral consistency that absorbs relatively quickly into the skin. Right after application, it gives a clear “glass skin” effect with a nice glow and a hydrated feeling that lasts for several hours. However, in the long run, I didn’t notice any significant change in the skin’s texture or glow, but as a day cream with a cosmetic effect, it really works perfectly! It also works well under makeup and gives a more luminous finish, even though I felt that the makeup held somewhat worse than usual. I had no negative skin reactions during the testing period. Overall, I find the cream to be very affordable and something I could definitely see myself buying!

Strong setting spray for sensitive skin
I have used the setting spray three times – during a long workday, while exercising, and at a party – over a medium coverage base on dry and sensitive skin. The spray distribution is relatively fine and even, but the drying time is quick, leaving a distinctly tight feeling. The scent is strong and the product causes noticeable irritation, which is a significant downside for me with sensitive skin. The fixing effect is moderate: the longevity improves somewhat compared to without the spray, but the makeup does not hold evenly throughout the day. It does not affect the base's finish, which I think is a big plus. Overall, it performs worse than comparable alternatives and may be best suited for very heavy makeup where long-lasting fixation is prioritized over comfort.

For a stable scalp - with unexpected volume on the side
I had the opportunity to test Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste via Smartson. Design: The bottle feels luxurious and well-made. The pipette looks professional, but the application becomes very clumsy. The recommendation of three pipettes per use feels excessive, especially on dry hair. About 1-2 pipettes are sufficient to cover the scalp. Quality: The serum has a light, fresh, and pleasant feel on the scalp, and I noticed no irritation or discomfort. The scent is really nice – discreet but exclusive – and it gives a freshly washed feeling without weighing the hair down. Effect: I feel that my scalp has become more balanced and less dry. The effect came gradually and was not immediately dramatic, but noticeable over time. An unexpected bonus was the volume – when I massaged the serum in properly, it gave the hair a lift that I didn't expect. Function: The product met my expectations overall. It does its job without feeling heavy or sticky. I would recommend it to others, especially to those who want a more harmonious scalp while keeping airy hair with volume. I am participating in a test panel and received a free test product.1 product in post For a stable scalp - with unexpected volume on the side104 views - The post was made 1 yearsRating: 4 out of 5
Reliable and affordable mascara
I had the opportunity to test this product via Smartson. I was very hopeful before trying this mascara, and I could really love this mascara if it weren't for the difficult packaging. When I have enough time and calm, the application is close to what I want it to be. For the mascara to do the job it promises, you have to wipe the brush thoroughly before applying. If you do that, the result is so much better! The large brush makes it hard for my long, but thin lower lashes to get any mascara on them. But, once in place, the mascara holds on tight! Even through drizzle and workouts.1 product in post Reliable and affordable mascara392 views - The post was made 1 yearsRating: 3 out of 5
Plumpers and fillers - but not for long.
I had the opportunity to try the product for free via Smartson! The lip gloss in the color 001 Blush Blaze comes in a solid tube with a bit of weight. I really like that! It gives a luxurious feel. The applicator is notably large, but I experience absolutely no mess or spill on the edges. Overall, the packaging is definitely user-friendly. Right upon application, the product starts to sting quite a bit, but only plumps a little. The stinging is quite intense, and not for the pain-sensitive. The color and finish are really nice, but nothing that stands out. I will definitely use the lip gloss until it's gone, but I won't repurchase it.1 product in post Plumpers and fillers - but not for long.318 views
