Tropical floral and sweet perfume
📦 The packaging I got a miniature version of this perfume but the bottle is the same as "normal" size one. And I absolutely love it! Firstly I love when brands do this. You get the cutest travel size packaging. Secondly, this bottle is super cute! Very feminine, pink in color and with lovely ribbons on the side. I absolutely love it. The top is easily taken off and I used it to put the perfume on. 👃 The smell This perfume is sweet and very feminine in my opinion. It's floral, fruity and sweet perfume. When I put it on my skin I smelled only floral notes at first. I cannot determine what flower it smells like, but it smells bit tropical in my opinion. After a while I started to smell notes of coconut and vanilla. 🤔 My opinion I got this perfume to test and to write a review on it. And I'm glad I did because I love it! It's very feminine perfume, in a classy and cute bottle. This perfume is not overpowering but it lasts the whole day. And you don't need much of it! Just a few drops lasted a whole day for me. I would also say it's suitable for daytime and for a night out. With its soft and floral scent I would have it as a perfect spring and summer perfume. And as an extra plus, when I first tested it, my husband said I smelled super nice and I should have this perfume on our date night. 😊 Can definitely recommend this perfume if you like tropical floral and sweet perfumes. 💗1 product in post Tropical floral and sweet perfume292 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 1 out of 5Verifierad testare
Weighed my hair down and made it flat
🙋♀️ My hair I have dry medium long hair. It is not treated in any way. My hair is naturally wavy and it’s very thin/fine so it gets damaged and dry at the ends very easily. I use hair straightener almost daily. 🧴 The packaging This mask comes in an upside down tube. Which is very nice, because it’s super easy to get the product out. It also has nice holographic design on it. 👀 The texture and looks The product is pearly white in color. The consistency was surprising to me since it is runny. Usually all masks that I used before are much thicker, while this one was something between the shampoo and the conditioner when it comes to consistency. 👃 The smell Citrusy smell, like other products from this line. And yes, it lingers for a very long time in your hair. 🤔 My opinion I always used this mask after I used the shampoo from the same line. And just like the shampoo and conditioner from this line, I noticed the smell and AHA and citric acid. The smell is powerful and this is not for you if you’re sensitive to smells. The AHA and citric acid did nothing for me, and I don’t like that it basically exposed my scalp to extra sun damage. I didn’t get any benefits from this mask. I looked at the pictures on this products page here and these before and after pictures feel like they were reversed for me. My hair had volume and was neat before, and after use it felt frizzy and just flat. All of the volume I had was gone. I feel like this product is just too heavy for my fine and thin hair and was weighing it down horribly. I will definitely not use this again and cannot recommend it, so it’s a 1 star from me. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post Weighed my hair down and made it flat396 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 1 out of 5Verifierad testare
My hair looked unwashed and oily
🙋♀️ My hair I have dry medium long hair. It is not treated in any way. My hair is naturally wavy and it’s very thin/fine so it gets damaged and dry at the ends very easily. I use hair straightener almost daily. 🧴 The packaging This product comes in a bottle with a holographic design. I do have to admit, it’s very similar to the shampoo bottle and I have mixed them up a few times so it would be nice if the design for either of these was different to avoid this. 👀 The texture and looks The product is white in color. The consistency is like a paste, very thick. It lathers up very easily so you don’t need a big amount to cover your whole hair. Which is good. 👃 The smell Like the shampoo from the same line, it’s VERY citrusy smell. It lingers after washing and drying so not recommended for smell sensitive people. 🤔 My opinion Before using this conditioner, I always first washed my hair with shampoo from the same line. And as with the shampoo, I also first noticed the smell and the AHA and citric acid components. The smell is overpowering and the AHA and citric acid did nothing for me except making me worried about sun damage to my scalp. Not a fan. I didn’t see any benefits from this conditioner. If anything, my hair felt dry at the ends and extremely greasy on the top/middle. It felt/looked so greasy, it looked like I haven’t washed my hair for weeks. You know the feeling when you have a lot of product in your hair and it just makes your hair oily? That’s how it felt after using this conditioner. I rinsed my hair super well, until the water was not soaping any more to be sure I got all of the product out, but still, it felt like there was more stuck in my hair. I absolutely hated it! 1 star, cannot recommend. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post My hair looked unwashed and oily364 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 1 out of 5Verifierad testare
My scalp is flaky from it
🙋♀️ My hair I have dry medium long hair. It is not treated in any way. My hair is naturally wavy and it’s very thin/fine so it gets damaged and dry at the ends very easily. I use hair straightener almost daily. 🧴 The packaging This product comes in a standard packaging for a shampoo. It’s very sturdy and I like the holographic label design. 👀 The texture and looks The product is cloudy white/almost translucent in color. The consistency is basically like any other shampoo. It lathers up very easy so you don’t need a lot of it. 👃 The smell Smells VERY citrusy. It lingers in your hair even after washing and drying. 🤔 My opinion I used this shampoo with either a conditioner or a mask from the same line. When I received this product I was a bit confused since on the bottle it says it’s for colored hair but here, on the product site it says it’s for damaged hair. My hair is dry and a bit damaged from heat styling so I hoped it would help with that. When using the product the first thing I noticed was the smell. It’s very citrusy and very powerful. I usually like citrusy smells but this one was just too much for me. It was hard to ignore it! So if you are sensitive to parfumes/smells, this is definitely not for you. The second thing that I noticed was that there’s AHA and citric acid in the shampoo and because of that you need sun protection. I didn’t like this, since I don’t have any spf for hair or spf hats. I honestly wasn’t a fan of this shampoo. After the second use, my scalp started to flake (see pictures) and was itchy. It looked like I got dandruff, which I never in my life had issues with! Since this shampoo is the only new thing I used on my scalp, I know it is the main cause of it. I haven’t seen any benefits it lists it’s supposed to do. Maybe it’s cause I don’t color my hair or because I have very fine/thin hair? I dunno, but I personally didn’t have great experience with it, so I’m giving it a 1 star and honestly cannot recommend it. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post My scalp is flaky from it267 views - The post was made 1 month

Very gentle and luxurious scrub
🙋♀️ About my skin I have very sensitive, dry to combination skin that is extremely allergy prone. 📦 The packaging I have a deluxe version of this product so my product is much much smaller than the one on sale here. But the packaging is the same. It’s a twist off jar made from plastic, yellow colored with white lid. It also comes with an extra plastic sealing lid inside it when you first open it so the product stays safe during transport. 👀 The texture and looks This scrub definitely has a very fine texture, almost like sand but it’s not abrasive or rough on the skin. It’s a very gentle scrub and it melts almost instantly when you rub it on the skin. It’s caramel colored and it feels soft to the touch. There are tiny black dots in the scrub which are crushed cupuassu seeds. When using the scrub, they don’t hurt the skin. 👃 The smell I absolutely love the smell. It’s the signature bum bum smell, vanilla and nuts mixed with caramel/sugar. It’s very sweet and delicious smell. The smell of the scrub is not overpowering and it lingers on my skin for few hours after I take a shower. 🤔 My opinion I usually avoid body scrubs because of my sensitive skin. They normally damage my skin or leave it red and dry. But I was pleasantly surprised with this scrub. It is very gentle scrub that did a good job exfoliating my skin without hurting me or being too harsh. I think the scrub has some oils in it because my skin felt like I washed it with body oil after using it. My skin was feeling very soft and hydrated. And the smell (which I love) stayed for few hours after showering. The price of this scrub is very high, but I use this tiny deluxe version once a week and a little of this scrub goes a long way so I think a big jar like the one sold here could last for a long time! I think if you think of this as a perfume and a scrub then maybe the price is worth it. I really do like this product and I think when I want to treat myself with something nice, I will definitely buy this! #lykoreview1 product in post Very gentle and luxurious scrub - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
Summer in a bottle! 🌞❤️
📦 The packaging This fragrance mist comes in a plastic bottle with a plastic lid on top. The packaging is bright yellow in color with white lid. 👃 The smell It has the exact same fragrance as the iconic Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. It just smells like summer to me. It smells like nuts, pistachio, caramel, vanilla. Sweet and delicious smell! It’s very powerful smell, and as soon as you take the cap off, you can smell it. 🤔 My opinion Even though I have far too many perfumes, fragrances and hair and body mists, I find myself reaching for the Sol de Janeiro perfume mists all the time (as you can see the bottle is almost empty). The smell is a summer in a bottle for me. I personally love sweet smells and this one is definitely it. The only problem I have with it is that it does not stick long after using it. It’s not a perfume, it’s a fragrance mist so don’t expect it to last for hours after you sprayed it on. But if you use it with their body cream, then the smell will linger for much longer time. It is a bit pricey for a fragrance mist but I love this scent so much that I will be buying it again, despite the price. It will forever be one of my absolute favourites and is one that I always reach for. #lykoreview1 product in post Summer in a bottle! 🌞❤️1472 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 4 out of 5
4⭐ because of the price
🙋♀️ About me I have very sensitive, dry to combination skin that is extremely allergy prone. I’m very pale and my skin has cool undertones. My lips crack and dry very easily, especially in winter. 💄 The packaging This product comes in a typical squeeze tube with a twist off lid on top. When you take the lid off, the applicator part is round. It works well to get the product all over the lips. 👀 The texture and looks The lip balm is jelly/creamy and a bit sticky in consistency. It doesn’t leave your lips glued but you can feel them slightly stick together when opening your mouth. There’s no color to it and there’s no glitter in it. 👃 Smell There’s no smell to it. At least not the one I can sense. 🤔 My opinion This is exactly the same as Vaseline jelly. The consistency is maybe bit more watery but it’s basically the same thing in my opinion. The only difference is that this is more sanitary than Vaseline jelly since you don’t touch the product with your fingers like you do with Vaseline. It’s slightly sticky on the lips, but not too much that it bothers me. My lips feel very hydrated and I could easily spread it over my lips. It didn’t give me any allergic reactions after using it. It’s great to use this during winter since it repairs dry and cracked lips very quickly. The quality of this product is good, but the price is too high for something that’s basically a Vaseline jelly in my opinion. I got the same results as when applying Vaseline jelly on my lips so I don’t think I will be buying this again since it’s too expensive and I cannot justify the price. #lykoreview1 product in post 4⭐ because of the price456 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Will definitely buy another one
💧About the bottle This bottle is made of sturdy plastic, it has measurements on one side and motivation text on another with timestamps. It’s also washable in dishwasher but if you dishwash it, the outside text might be washed off. So far, that hasn’t happened for me and I have been washing it in dishwasher for months. There are two lock in mechanisms and if you leave your bottle top open, the water will spill out if turned. 🤔 My opinion I bought this bottle because I forget to drink my water. I know I should be drinking around 2 liters per day but I somehow always forget to do that or I think I drank enough (when I actually didn’t). So after having my second baby I especially needed to drink more and track if I’m drinking enough and this bottle was/is perfect for that! I personally don’t need this motivation text, just the hour and the amount how much I drank is enough for me but the text doesn’t bother me. I drink 2 or 3 bottles of water per day thanks to this. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It is a bit pricy for a water bottle but I like that I can put it in the dishwasher and don’t need to hand-wash it. I can recommend this if you need to drink more water and need some motivation to do it. #lykoreview1 product in post Will definitely buy another one1191 views- The comment was made 3 monthsHave one like that, think it's really good if you're going to train or something else❤️💕1 likes
