Small handy tubes but...
I have as #lykoinflutester gotten to try these lip balms from #carmex for a few weeks - super fun! I am a frequent user (not to say abuser) of lip balm, which makes me an excellent tester, but I also have high demands 😏 Thanks to my abuse and good genes, I rarely (never) suffer from dry lips, but since I am completely allergic to dryness, I can still assess the moisturizing effect. I consider Carmex to be a classic, a reliable brand that you know delivers. Typical for all their lip products (I think) is that they contain menthol, and also camphor. This is clearly felt in the taste, and although all three variants have quite a strong fruit flavor, it does not hide the menthol. I personally have a bit of a hard time with the menthol taste, I think it lingers for a long time and distorts the taste of everything you eat and drink. Strawberry I think is the one that masks it best, cherry works reasonably well with the menthol, but unfortunately I find the pineapple quite hard to handle. If you have very dry lips, I can imagine that menthol provides a nice relief, but otherwise it is mostly a nuisance, I think. Furthermore, I have very sensitive eyes (dry and easily irritated) and noticed a clear deterioration when I used Carmex. I googled that both menthol and camphor are volatile substances, and due to their strong character can therefore irritate the eyes. If you have no issues with your eyes, you probably don't need to take this into account, but it might be good for someone to know 👀 That said, I am otherwise satisfied with the results of the products! They do what they are supposed to do and feel smooth and nice on the lips. They have a lot of flavor, which I appreciate in lip products, even though the menthol brings my rating down. I think it's great that they have a bit of SPF, but it's too low for me to want to use it in the summer, but great for the rest of the year. In summary, these lip balms do their job, but unfortunately they have some negative properties that mean they won't come close to any of my regular favorites. I also think the packaging is a bit dull, I don't like the colorful designs 🤣 However, this is offset by the fact that they come in a tube, which is very convenient, especially these super small tubes. Unfortunately, it is not very likely that I will buy these again, but that is more due to my personal preferences than the results.1 product in post Small handy tubes but...92 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Moisturizing and Fresh
I have as #lykoinflutester been able to try this lip balm from #carmex for a few weeks now ahead of the launch - super fun! I am a frequent user (not to say abuser) of lip balm, which makes me an excellent tester, but I also have high demands 😏 Thanks to my abuse and good genes, I rarely (never) suffer from dry lips, but since I am completely allergic to dryness, I can still assess the moisturizing effect. I consider Carmex to be a classic, a reliable brand that you know delivers. Typical for all their lip products (I think) is that they contain menthol, and also camphor. This is clearly noticeable in the taste, though not quite as much in this (Pomegranate) and Tropical as in many of the other products. I personally have a bit of a hard time with the menthol taste, I find it lingers for a long time and distorts the taste of everything you eat and drink. However, pomegranate masks the menthol taste relatively well! If you have very dry lips, I can imagine it provides a nice relief, but otherwise, I find it mostly a nuisance. Furthermore, I have very sensitive eyes (dry and easily irritated) and noticed a clear deterioration when I used Carmex. I googled that both menthol and camphor are volatile substances, which due to their strong character can irritate the eyes. If you have no issues with your eyes, you probably don’t need to take this into account, but it might be good for someone to know 👀 That said, I am otherwise satisfied with the product! It does what it’s supposed to do and doesn’t feel particularly sticky. The pomegranate flavor is fresh and tasty, which I appreciate in a lip product! Compared to some lip balms in a tube, I think the formula feels a bit thin, but that probably depends on how you dose it, I guess... 🤪 I think it’s great that it has a bit of SPF, but it’s too low for me to want to use it in the summer, but great for the rest of the year. In summary, this lip balm does its job, but I also think it has some negative qualities that prevent it from surpassing any of my regular favorites. I also think the packaging is a bit dull, I don’t like the flashy colors 🤣, but I won’t let that affect my rating. It’s not impossible that I will buy this again.1 product in post Moisturizing and Fresh44 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Affordable and reliable!

In summary, this lip balm does its job, both as a moisturizer and as protection from the sun, but I also think it has some negative qualities that make it not surpass any of my regular favorites. I also think the packaging is a bit dull, I don’t like the colorful designs 🤣, but I won’t let that affect my rating. This is the Carmex lip balm that I am most likely to buy again.1 product in post Affordable and reliable!46 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

Does wonders for the hair. I've been using it for a few weeks and my hair already looks much healthier. I use this on the scalp, in combination with Rapunzel in the lengths.1 product in post Awesome1454 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

Good formula, but maybe not for me!
I have been tasked as #lykoinflutester to test this mascara news from #maxfactor 👸 Their regular 2000 calorie mascara has been a long-standing favorite of mine for many years, and I was therefore super happy when this version landed in my mailbox! It has a nice pink packaging, a bit more playful than the original but still quite sleek. The brush is quite small and made of silicone (?), which unfortunately doesn't suit me very well. However, it is curved, which I do like. My lashes are naturally quite long, but not as thick as I wish, and I usually don't buy mascaras that are meant to lengthen lashes but rather focus on volume mascaras with a "pipe cleaner brush". This one unfortunately makes my lashes look like long-legged spiders 😂 🕷️ But I want to clarify that this does not (!) mean that it is bad, just that there are others that suit my lashes better. Aside from it not being a perfect fit for me, I can’t say anything other than that it delivers what it promises! It has a deep black color, a smooth and easy-to-apply formula that doesn’t clump, and it also lasts all day without flaking or smudging on the eyelids. 👌 In summary, my assessment is that it is a high-quality mascara at a good price, which is probably great for anyone looking for a long-lasting, smudge-proof, lash-lengthening mascara.1 product in post Good formula, but maybe not for me!104 views - The post was made 2 months

New Must-Have
I really love this! I've used regular intimate washes before, I've been a bit lazy with creams, but oh what a difference I've experienced since I started using this - I don't need any more moisturizing! Small and handy bottle, super nice and fresh scent, and the great results have made it a new must-have for me.1 product in post New Must-Have1636 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Super lovely serum!
I have as #lykoinflutester tested this serum from #klairs, as well as a night cream from the same series 💁♀️ Felt luxurious, super nice products. Both the serum and the night cream come from the Rich Moist Soothing series and are intended to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. My first impression of the serum is that it has a very lovely consistency that I don't recognize from other serums I've tested. It's not as runny as many other moisture serums, but rather relatively thick, yet feels not at all sticky but very smooth and easy to apply. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone, am very acne-prone, and am therefore picky with moisturizing products, but at the same time have a tendency to become dry on the surface. This serum was therefore spot on for me! Despite adequate hydration under makeup, I can sometimes feel tight in my face during the day, but I find that this serum reduces the risk of that. I've been using it for nearly 4 weeks and find that it alleviates any irritation immediately and provides lasting hydration. My only downside is that the price range is actually a bit high for me, but I was very fond of it anyway and will probably treat myself to buy more when it runs out. Costs 429 kr but is currently on sale, so hurry up! 💰1 product in post Super lovely serum!112 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Does its job but probably isn't for me!
I have as #lykoinflutester tested this night cream from #klairs, as well as a serum from the same line 💁♀️ Felt luxurious, really nice products. Both the night cream and the serum come from the Rich Moist Soothing line and are intended to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. My first impression of the night cream was that it has a rather thick consistency, but it still felt smooth and light on the skin. I have now used it for almost 4 weeks and am overall satisfied with it. It is white and odorless, which is completely reasonable when marketed for irritated skin, however, I do think it gives it a slightly medicinal (read: professional but a bit boring) feel and I would have preferred at least a mild scent. Otherwise, I have nothing negative to say about the cream, it really feels like it hydrates, and also without leaving any sticky feeling on the skin 👍 If I could give 3.5 stars, I would have done so, but it has to be a 3 since I don't really think it reaches a 4. For the record, I don't really belong to the target group, I don't have particularly irritated skin and don't need any deep hydration. On the contrary, I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and am very acne-prone, which means I usually avoid creams with any form of oil in them. I feel like I've gotten more acne since I started using this, but that's probably entirely due to my skin type and that this wasn't an optimal combo. However, I do feel the soothing effect on the days I've used peeling, and I really think it delivers on that front. For someone with sensitive and normal/dry skin, I think this is a top product.1 product in post Does its job but probably isn't for me!285 views
