Good, but won't switch
I have tested Clean Queen / Micellar Water #bylyko for two weeks. • Normally, I always use oil cleanse for makeup & SPF removal, followed by regular face wash. • Skin type: oily T-zone, dry cheeks. Info & thoughts: 🎀 Sleek packaging, transparent bottle. 🎀 Screw cap = no greater risk of leakage when packing. Delivered with Lyko tape over the cap, which is appreciated! ‼️ The purple text can, depending on the background, be hard to read since the bottle is transparent. A bit sad to have to use single-use products (cotton pads) with each use. 🧴 500ml, a larger amount would probably feel unwieldy. 💧 Gentle on the skin, I don't feel it tightens after use. 👃 No particular scent, I like that perfume is not included on the short ingredient list. 💸 Good price (89:- at the time of writing) for the amount of product. In the pictures, I had primer, liquid highlighter, cream & powder blush, and concealer. The micellar water removes everything very quickly & effectively. The skin doesn't feel tight, but it also doesn't feel sticky after use. Personally, I am a bigger fan of oil cleansing, so even though this micellar water absolutely did exactly what it promised, it's not for me. I will check with a friend or cousin, so hopefully, it will still be used! If anyone is looking for an affordable bottle of micellar water, I definitely recommend it. #lykoinflutester1 product in post Good, but won't switch921 viewsto leave a comment - 4 weeksRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Perfect for travel
I have tested Wiped Out / Bi-Phase Eye Makeup Remover #bylyko for two weeks. • Normally, I always use oil cleanse for makeup & SPF removal, followed by regular face wash. Info & thoughts: 🎀 Sleek packaging, love the pink color. The white text is clear despite the transparent bottle. 🎀 Screw cap = no risk of leakage in a toiletry bag, big plus! ‼️ The only instruction on the bottle is “Shake well before use,” so there’s nothing about whether it should be wiped off or not – but hopefully, you wash your face after makeup removal anyway. Kind of boring to have to use single-use products (cotton pads) every time, feels a bit wasteful. 🧴 100ml, just the right size for both bathroom cabinets & toiletry bags. 👁️ Gentle on the eyes, I don’t experience any stinging if a little gets in them. 👃 Doesn’t smell like anything in particular, appreciate that there’s no perfume among the ingredients! 💸 Reasonable price (79:- at the time of writing) for a product that does what it’s supposed to. In the pictures, I had eye primer, a mix of powder & cream shadows, waterproof eyeliner, mascara, and concealer. The remover takes everything off without aggressive rubbing. The skin around the eyes doesn’t feel tight, but it also doesn’t feel sticky. I will use this remover if I’m going to travel, because of the convenient size, but in everyday life, I will continue with oil cleansing. If I weren’t already oil/double cleanse-obsessed, I would absolutely recommend it for everyday use too! #lykoinflutester1 product in post Perfect for travel743 viewsto leave a comment - 8 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Relaxing After Shower
This time I tested the Genesis Serum Anti Chute Fortifiant from #kerastase, a serum for hair that is weakened & tends to fall out when brushing. #lykoinflutester 👩🦰 I have thin/fine hair with natural waves, which is bleached and quickly gets oily. I have always lost quite a bit of hair in the shower & when brushing. I use silicone-free products (as others tend to weigh my hair down), and often moisturizing/caring masks & leave-ins. 🧴The serum comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a dropper (a bit scary with glass in the bathroom but so far it has gone well). The box has clear instructions. 👶🏼 I have tested the serum on both dry & damp hair, for me damp works best. I dab out a dose (one pump, to the dropper's marking) per section and massage it in. The gel consistency prevents it from running, but for safety, I take the dose for the temples/sides in my hands instead. I don’t feel that the serum weighs my hair down – however, it does get a bit crispy when it dries, but I scrunch it out in a snap! 👃 Quite a strong, floral scent that dissipates quickly. The scent feels a bit luxurious in a way? 🗳️ The box says that Kérastase's clinical tests last for 6 weeks, so after about 4 test weeks I haven’t noticed a huge difference – possibly that I’m losing a bit less hair in the shower now. 💸 I find the product to be economical (2-4 doses per use), and in 2 weeks maybe the difference will show more – but so far the price feels a bit steep. So: easy to use, nice with a little evening massage for the scalp. The absolute biggest difference I notice is that my hair doesn’t get oily as quickly, which I really appreciate. I will use the serum until the bottle is empty, but it will probably not be a purchase for me. (If they do have one that combats oily scalp, let me know! ✨)1 product in post Relaxing After Shower9617 viewsto leave a comment Ellinor

Lovely last step before sleep
Last up among the reviews of lip balm from #labruket is Goodnight Lip Balm No 311, Orange Blossom 🍊 #lykoinflutester • I usually use Eucerin Aquaphor daily and therefore had a good starting point = I have no before/after pictures as I haven't seen any significant difference (like 'oh so dry, but not anymore!'). A few thoughts & info: ⚫ Large, sturdy packaging = harder to drop without noticing. Easier to find in the bag! ⚫ Screw cap = no risk of the cap accidentally coming off in pocket/bag & smearing things ⚫ Sleek design. Small text (understandable!), but all info is readable ‼️ The edge of the tube can be a bit sharp against the lips sometimes, but if you twist the balm up a bit extra, it's not a problem 🙄 Lots of product = 14 g (about 3x more than small/regular), the stick is about 2 cm 🙈 Nice consistency, stays on the lips without feeling sticky 🍊 Pleasant citrus scent, without being overwhelming 😫 ”[…] use as a soothing ritual before bed.” – I can't say anything about whether the orange blossom scent helps one fall asleep faster, because I already fall asleep super quickly, hehh ⏳ After a month, you can hardly see that I've used any = lasts a long time! ♻️ Recyclable tube, 100% natural ingredients, made in Sweden 💸 A lot & good product for the money = high price but still justified I've been using it for just over a month, at least 5 evenings a week, and of the three lip balms I've tested, this is my favorite. I wake up with soft lips, and don't feel like I need to take more/another before I get to work & morning coffee. Recommend!1 product in post Lovely last step before sleep443 viewsto leave a comment - 9 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Satisfied, hydrated lips
Continuing to review the lip balm from #labruket, now Lip Balm No 017, Almond/Coconut 🌰🤥 #lykoinflutester Starting again with the fact that I usually use Eucerin Aquaphor daily and therefore had a good starting point = I have no before/after pictures as I haven't seen any significant difference (like 'oh how dry, but not anymore!'). Some thoughts & a little info: ⚪ Large, sturdy packaging = harder to drop without noticing. Easier to find in the bag too! ⚪ Screw cap = no risk of the cap accidentally coming off in the bag/pocket & smearing things ⚪ Nice design, small text (understandable!) but all info is readable ‼️ The edge of the tube can be a bit sharp against the lips sometimes, but if you twist the balm up a bit extra, it's not a problem 🙄 Lots of product = 14g, and the stick is about ≈ 2 cm 🙈 Lovely consistency, stays on the lips without feeling sticky. Glossy & nice! 🌰/🤥 Very mild, neutral scent ⏳ Barely noticeable that it's been used = will last a long time ♻️ Recyclable tube, 100% natural ingredients, made in Sweden 💸 A lot, really good product for the money, so I think the price is justified I've used it several times a day and really like it. About halfway through the testing period, my boyfriend got tonsillitis + extremely dry & cracked lips, and then got to take it over. He has a hard time with mess (hand cream, balm, etc.) but thought this felt very pleasant, and has even continued to use it after the illness. 💋 So, 5 stars from both of us!1 product in post Satisfied, hydrated lips - 9 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Cool Lip Boost
Time for reviews of lip balm from #labruket, first up is SOS Lip Balm No 309, Peppermint ❄️ #lykoinflutester I can start by saying that I usually use Eucerin Aquaphor daily, and therefore already had a good starting point – so I have no before/after pictures as I haven't seen any significant difference (like 'oh, how dry, but not anymore!'). With that out of the way… 🔵 Large, sturdy packaging = harder to drop without noticing 🔵 Screw cap = no risk of the cap accidentally coming off in a bag/pocket & smearing on things 🔵 Nice design, small text (understandable!) but all info is readable ‼️ The edge of the tube can be a bit sharp against the lips, but if you twist the balm up a bit extra, it's not a problem 🙄 Lots of product = 14g, and the stick is about 𝓽 2 cm 🙈 Lovely consistency, stays on the lips for a long time without feeling sticky ❄️ The peppermint is pleasant, feels cooling, and tingles a bit (but not so much that it becomes uncomfortable or bothersome) ⏳ The packaging states that it can be used 1-2 times/day, so it will last a long time ♻️ Recyclable tube, 100% natural ingredients, made in Sweden 💸 A lot, really good product for the money, but I feel like it seems a bit pricey for a lip balm I've used the balm on some mornings when a little refreshing boost was needed, and during work hours when it was stressful – so without breathing exercises (suggested in the product description), but it has given a pleasant feeling regardless! Can absolutely recommend.1 product in post Cool Lip Boost358 viewsto leave a comment - 11 monthsRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Totally okay, but I’m an oil cleanse girlie
This time I tried the Refreshing Micellar Cleansing Water from #Acasia. 🤩 Combination skin; oily T-zone, sensitive/dry cheeks. Normally, I use oil cleansing for makeup removal and finish with a “regular” cleanser. 🤴 I like that the packaging has a screw cap, which felt safer to take with me on a weekend trip than oil (which usually has a pump). 250 ml is a decent amount, and the price (149kr) feels reasonable. 🧧⚪ I find that the micellar water (on a cotton pad) removes makeup easily & effectively. Waterproof eyeliner was the only thing I had to go over a bit extra to remove completely. I accidentally got a bit in my eyes when I used it directly in my hands, which stung for a bit, so cotton pads are recommended. My cheeks felt a bit tight after use, but since I used face wash right after, it wasn’t a big problem. However, it says in the product description that no rinsing is required, but I couldn’t handle leaving the “residue” on my face. 🌱 Plus points for being vegan & fragrance-free! 🌼 So: effective cleansing, but not perfect for my needs. I’ll stick to oil cleansing if I’m not going traveling! #lykoinflutester (The picture with makeup is what I had used before the video. Edit: eh nah, the video doesn’t seem to have uploaded??)1 product in post Totally okay, but I’m an oil cleanse girlie5578 viewsto leave a comment
