Super good!
I have tested this together with the accompanying shampoo and conditioner, and I really liked them! The scent is pleasant and not too strong, just feels fresh. A big plus is that the scent lasts for several days. I think the leave-in cream gave a good effect. It was soft and easy to distribute in the hair, but you have to be careful not to use too much as it can make the hair feel a bit greasy. Overall, I liked the product and would definitely recommend it, but I have also tested the same series for curly hair and find that it gives me a better effect. I am attaching a picture of my hair to show the texture. My friend who has straight hair tried the one for curly hair and then got greasy and stringy hair, so I recommend choosing the one that best suits your hair texture.

Very good!
I have tested this together with the accompanying shampoo and leave-in, and I really liked them! The scent is pleasant and not too strong, just feels fresh. A big plus is that the scent lasts for several days. The conditioner is thick and gives immediate softness while working it into the hair. I noticed a difference in shine and softness almost immediately. Overall, I liked the product and would definitely recommend it, but I have also tested the same series for curly hair and find that it gives me a better effect. I am attaching a picture of my hair to show the texture. My friend with straight hair tried the curly hair version and ended up with greasy and stringy hair, so I recommend choosing the one that best suits your hair texture.

A favorite!
I have tested this together with the accompanying conditioner and leave-in, and I really liked them! The scent is pleasant and not too strong, just feels fresh. A big plus is that the scent lasts for several days. The shampoo is quite thick and produces a rich lather, but I always use a clarifying shampoo first because I wash my hair less often.

Not for me
I tested this along with the primer in the same series and was extremely disappointed! The primer is good and makes the makeup last, but this didn’t do much more than make my face wet. A lot of product comes out at once, and it takes a little time to dry. I can’t claim that I think it makes the makeup last better. If anything, it can even out my blending a little. I get oily quickly from makeup, and after a couple of hours, I look more like a butter package than a human if I don’t reapply powder. Unfortunately, this didn’t help me not need to put on more powder. It might suit another skin type better, but it definitely didn’t do much for me.

Good gloss
Some reviews feel that there is too little color in the gloss. I can't say that I agree. I tested the color 07 jelly blushin together with lip lingerie stain 07 Cuff me, and I probably wouldn't pair them together. The liner is more of a "natural" lip color for me, as I am pale, while the lip gloss is more of a Barbie bubblegum pink. I think there is a good amount of pigment, and it smells SO GOOD, so much that my boyfriend steals kisses all the time. It's a good lip gloss overall, however, I find that the applicator is a bit big for me, as I have small lips. It kind of puts too much product on at once for me. Otherwise, it's good. It doesn't get sticky, and when you press your lips together, you don't get those "strings" that some sticky lip glosses can give. Of course, it's not as long-lasting as a lip stain or some lipsticks, so you have to reapply if you, for example, eat or drink.

Holds all day
I am pale, have a cool undertone, and am freckled. I find that it can be difficult to find a suitable color that doesn't look like a costume or theater makeup. 07 Cuff me was fantastic, though! It was just a tad darker than my natural lip color (which also gets a bit more pale now during the winter), which made it a fantastic color for everyday wear where I wanted to add a bit of color to my lips to not look like a corpse. I find that it holds up to its promises! It is easy to apply, and if you let it dry properly, the color stays all day. I didn't just use it as a liner but painted my whole lips just to add some life and color to them, and it worked super! It held even though I ate and drank as usual. I only had to reapply lip gloss. If you want to overline a bit, I find that it works well, but you have to be careful not to have foundation there, as I found that the lip pencil "sucked up" the foundation, making it harder and streaky to apply. Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that just like all other stains, they can appear darker on extra dry areas, so you might look a bit chapped now in winter, but this one was much better than other stains I've tried. Basically, a top product!

So good!
First of all, I want to say that 02 fair porcelain on the website looks significantly warmer in tone than it appears in reality. I am very cool-toned and pale, and it was perfect for me. If you are warm-toned, you might need to look for another shade, in my opinion. I was positively surprised because many foundations look very yellow on me, but the color was fantastic! It blends so well, lasts long, and actually manages to stay put without getting oily, which I otherwise quickly become. This could be one of the best foundations I have tested. It felt light on the skin, could still cover blemishes and pigmentation changes without looking "cakey". I used a beauty blender for application, and it worked excellently and became even and nice. I am really so satisfied with the product, and it will undoubtedly be my go-to from now on!

Good base!
I tested the primer on two different occasions, and it is definitely something that will be in rotation. The packaging is cute, and it really looks like school glue, which is a fun detail. On the skin, it definitely becomes sticky (in a good way!), so it really feels like it grips the foundation so it lasts. I found that it held well, but on the first occasion, I hadn't done my usual moisturizing skincare beforehand, and I definitely noticed a difference because the result was worse, but that's probably not really the primer's fault. Overall, I thought it was good, though not a miracle product that made my makeup flawless all day, but still better than without primer. I don't know if it's exactly due to the primer or some kind of interaction with some of my other products, but on the driest areas of my face, the makeup became a bit wrinkled and crumbly, but it wasn't really a big concern.

Super pretty
I painted my boyfriend's nails with this and it is SO pretty! "2556 drip drip" is truly the perfect semi-transparent pearly silver-white color. It sparkles nicely without overpowering and holds well. In the first picture (the one where I'm holding my boyfriend's hand) there are two layers without topcoat, and in the second picture taken in daylight, it's 6 days later and with the corresponding topcoat. It has held up well in the meantime, especially considering that my boyfriend is not gentle with his hands, doing everything from hand washing dishes, cleaning, shopping, cooking, etc. There have been a few chips that have disappeared, but that's not too strange considering how he uses his hands. The majority of the nail that is visible is actually just because his nails grow incredibly fast, so it's grown out. The formula dries pretty quickly. My only criticism is that the brush is quite large and picks up too much product, but that's pretty common among nail polishes as well. You just have to remember to wipe off the excess, so it's not a bigger problem. The topcoat 00 felt protective and really gave a shiny surface that lasted long.

Holds surprisingly well
First of all, I want to say that I thought the color "15 Full blown" would be more bright red. It looks quite red in the bottle, but on the hand, it is significantly more pink. On the website, it also looks red, so I was a bit disappointed that it was pink, but if you like a clear, strong pink with red tones, this might be the color for you. I tested using it without other products. No base or top coat, just two layers of the nail polish, and I feel positively surprised. The picture is from day 6 where there has been daily use including showering, hand washing, cleaning, etc. Some small chips have disappeared, but surprisingly well considering I didn’t put on any protective layers. It is a very transparent formula, so at least two layers are needed for coverage that isn’t streaky. Otherwise, it dried red quickly, but just like other nail polishes, it can wrinkle if you accidentally apply pressure when it’s dry to the touch but not completely dry all the way through. Overall, a product that was significantly better than I thought!
