About me: I am 44 years old. I have colored and "typical Scandinavian hair" with thin, fine strands. My hair is neither very thin nor thick, but more on the thinner side. It gets oily quickly. If I wash my hair on a Monday evening, it stays clean all Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, it starts to look a bit oily, and on Thursday I MUST use dry shampoo during the day, then wash it in the evening. So washing every third day is my routine, and no shampoo in the world has changed that π In colder seasons, my ends also tend to get dry and frizzy. I became very curious about this product. I usually use a leave-in product after washing, on towel-dried hair. But here Iβm a bit torn. Itβs watery in consistency, so itβs hard to understand how it can nourish. But once in the hair, I think it definitely makes the hair very easy to detangle. βοΈ Despite the watery consistency, the hair becomes very easy to detangle. βοΈ Smells fresh, like detergent. The scent lingers but doesnβt overpower. βοΈ Maybe itβs just me, but I feel like my hair dries faster when blow-drying. And I always blow-dry on low heat. βοΈ Nice that it has heat protection in the same product! In the picture, my hair is freshly washed, blow-dried AND straightened. I didnβt use any extra heat protection before the flat iron, only this product. βοΈ I think the hair feels soft and smooth when dry. Iβve also used the product on dry hair when the ends felt a bit dry, and they quickly become soft again. βοΈ Iβm not quite a fan of the spray nozzle. I would have preferred a finer "mist" when spraying into the hair. And that would have worked considering the product is watery in formula. But now itβs a very concentrated shower thatβs hard to distribute evenly in the hair. So Iβve sprayed directly onto the hairbrush instead. βοΈ The hair becomes soft, yes. But not especially shiny. I need to complement with hair oil to get the effect I want. Overall, Iβm satisfied. I, who usually use leave-in products, was a bit "mindfucked" when the formula is watery. But I still get a detangling effect and soft hair, so itβs probably more a matter of getting used to it π1 product in post The hair becomes soft, smooth, and easy to detangle.35 views

About me: I am 44 years old. I have colored and "typical Scandinavian hair" with thin fine strands. My hair is neither very thin nor thick, but more on the thinner side. It gets greasy quickly. If I wash my hair on a Monday evening, it stays clean all Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon it starts to look a bit greasy, and on Thursday I MUST use dry shampoo during the day, then wash it in the evening. So washing every third day is my routine, and no washing routine in the world has changed this π During colder seasons, my ends also tend to get dry and frizzy. My evaluation of the conditioner: I say nahhh. I'm a bit torn. When I shampoo my hair, it always feels a bit rough. And I want the conditioner to give a detangling effect already upon application. So that you can quite easily run your fingers through your hair without tangles. And I don't get that feeling. I still have "simple" hair, i.e. thin fine strands, no curls etc. I think the formula feels a bit too thin and runny. It uses more product than other conditioners I've used. I let the conditioner work for 2-3 minutes. When rinsing out, I get the feeling I'm fishing for. Soft and smooth and fairly easy to detangle. But I'm still a bit torn about what I think. I'm also always skeptical of products that claim to work for all hair types. That doesn't seem reasonable. βοΈ Smells clean and fresh. Not too "perfumed" but more like freshly washed clothes. Yes, it smells like detergent. The scent lingers but doesn't overpower. βοΈ Like the flip cap. Easy to open even with wet fingers. And easy to get out the amount of product you want. βοΈ Hair becomes soft and fairly easy to detangle afterwards....BUT.... βοΈ The product is too runny. And when I apply the product, I don't get the detangling effect I want. βοΈ Uses a lot of product, even for me who doesn't have particularly thick hair. βοΈ Don't like when the conditioner bottle is smaller than the shampoo bottle. 200 ml conditioner vs 250 ml shampoo in the same series. I do double shampoo, but still usually use as much conditioner as shampoo. And with this conditioner, even more is used. If you have very thick hair, I think you even use MORE conditioner than shampoo. So the bottles should at least have been the same size. I give this conditioner 2/5. Maybe a bit harsh. But it's the formula that lowers the rating. There are conditioners in the same price range (even cheaper) that are better.1 product in post Not sufficiently detangling3 views

Among them, this hydration shampoo. About me: I am 44 years old. I have colored and "typical Scandinavian hair" with thin, fine strands. My hair is neither very thin nor thick, but more on the thinner side. It gets oily quickly. If I wash my hair on a Monday evening, it stays clean all Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, it starts to look a bit oily, and on Thursday I MUST use dry shampoo during the day, then wash it again in the evening. So washing every third day is my routine, and no shampoo in the world has managed to change this π During colder seasons, my ends also tend to get a bit dry and frizzy. So what do I think about the product? I'm always a bit skeptical about products that claim to suit all hair types. There are probably few products that manage that. But this shampoo works at least for my hair type. I always double shampoo, and use about 1 tsp per wash (i.e., 2 tsp when the hair is done). Hair becomes clean and fresh. Feels a bit rough before conditioner (but all shampoos do that to me, so I always use conditioner π). βοΈ Nice scent. Reminds me a bit of detergent. The scent lasts long but is not sharp or overpowering. Simply smells clean and fresh. βοΈ Lathers well on the second shampoo, which is what I expect from a professional shampoo. The first wash dissolves oil on the scalp, the second wash lathers and cleans. βοΈ The product feels economical. βοΈ Like this type of "flip cap." Easy to open even with wet hands, and easy to get the right amount out. βοΈ Washed my hair 5-6 times in these three weeks, and the shampoo has not stripped any hair color at all. Apart from the roots, my hair is as nice as when it was freshly colored. βοΈ Don't feel that the hair is more moisturized than with any other shampoo. Moisturizing feels like the conditionerβs job. The product alone does not help retain moisture; it requires help from "its colleagues" in the same series π I give this shampoo 4/5. It works well for my hair type. But it is neither better nor worse than other shampoos in the same price range.1 product in post Hair becomes clean and fresh7 views

I think the "bond and seal" glue I tested hasn't lasted longer than maybe 4 days, even though I cured it for 24 hours.1 product in post Also for cluster lashes?762 views
- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 7 monthsHey there!π€ Ardell LashTite Clear is made for individual lashes, but can work on small cluster lashes. The durability is variable, and large clusters can be difficult to get to stick. Tip: clean the lashes, dip only the base in glue, wait 10β20 seconds, press gently, and let sit for 24 hours π«π€ Take care! For better durability on clusters, glue specifically for cluster lashes or bond + seal is best.1 likes
- The post was made 7 monthsRating: 2 out of 5Verifierad testareUnfortunately no WOW for meAs #lykoinflutester I have tested this dry shampoo from #amika in the last month πΈ About me: β Soon 44 years old β I have typical Scandinavian hair quality. Thin fine hair. Neither thick nor super thin hair, but somewhere in between. I have colored, medium-length hair. β My scalp tends to get oily quickly (partly due to working with a safety helmet). At the same time, the lengths are a bit dry and brittle. It gets worn out quickly, even though I go to the hairdresser every five weeks to color my roots. And every/other time she trims the ends. So a bit problematic hair anyway π β To spare the lengths, I try not to wash my hair more often than every third/fourth day, which is why dry shampoo is my salvation 1-2 days before washing. For my scalp, I would prefer to be washed every day π About the product: β Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the job for me π Which is really a shame because I had high expectations for this product. β I have tried applying it in different ways. Both from a distance and up close, a lot of product or a little product. I have tried just brushing through my hair after application. I have tried massaging the product in. I have tried letting the product sit for a while and then massaging it in. I have also tried letting the product sit for a while, but not massaging it in, just brushing. β Unfortunately, I get the same result every time, my hair still looks oily, with a slight dusty surface. The product unfortunately does not want to cooperate with my scalp at all. β I still have to give a positive rating for the pretty bottle and that it smells good. β The scent itself can indeed lower the rating a bit, as it smells quite strong and can "take over". Especially if you also want to wear "regular" perfume. But it smells good! Maybe a bit old-fashioned, but good π If my sense of smell doesn't totally fail me, it reminds me of a perfume my mom had in the 90s. Musk - Alyssa Ashley π But unfortunately, it gets a low rating from me. The purpose is still to rescue an oily scalp, and there it fails π I have tried significantly cheaper products that work really well for me. So I will probably stick with my safe bets π1 product in post Unfortunately no WOW for me669 views
- The post was made 7 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testareGood RehydrationAs #lykoinflutester, I have recently tested this hair mask from #amika πΈ About me: β Soon 44 years old β I have typical Scandinavian hair quality. Thin fine hair strands. Neither thick nor super thin hair, but somewhere in between. I have colored, medium-length hair. β My scalp tends to get oily quickly, while the lengths are a bit dry and brittle. It gets worn out quickly, even though I go to the hairdresser every five weeks to color my roots. And every other time she trims/even the ends. So a bit of problematic hair anyway π β To spare the lengths, I try not to wash my hair more often than every three/four days. About the product: β A month is a bit too short to determine if the hair quality gets significantly better. Therefore, I didn't take any specific before/after pictures. But I still feel that the lengths are softer and don't feel as dry at all. β I have chosen to apply it to dry hair (you get to choose π), before bedtime. After that, I brush through my hair and put it in a silk cap that I sleep with. β I experience no annoying coatings or residues, but wake up with soft and rehydrated lengths/ends. β 2 pumps are just right for my hair, and I apply it from the earlobe downwards. If you choose to apply it to wet hair, it probably takes less product. It feels like it's liiittle harder to get the product into dry hair, but I have still chosen that method π β The hair mask smells very good. Maybe a bit "old-fashioned". Reminds me of a perfume my mom used in the 90s. Musk - Alyssa Ashley. Or my scent memory is playing tricks on me π Anyway. It smells quite a bit. Good in my opinion. But nothing that takes over in any way. And the scent is significantly toned down once it has absorbed into the hair. Overall, I am satisfied with the product. I will continue to use it as a night mask and hopefully see results going forward. So far, it "feels" just good, but that is positive.1 product in post Good Rehydration172 views
- The post was made 11 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testareFantastic scent πΈI have as #lykoinflutester tried this trial set from #rituals Everything with a lovely scent of cherry blossom πΈ If you are sensitive to perfumes, you simply don't buy Rituals, because Rituals IS scent! I personally LOVE perfume! And Rituals has made both my car, my home, and my body smell absolutely fantastic over the years, so I am well acquainted with the brand β€οΈ In the kit, you get: Foaming shower gel 50 ml A foaming shower gel that becomes a bit like shaving cream in consistency. Leaves the skin clean and fresh without feeling tight afterwards. Sugar body polish 125 g A "sugar scrub" with just the right size grains for my taste. Doesn't feel too abrasive. I think the skin becomes very soft and smooth, and the scrub leaves a little oily film behind. Which is very good for me, as I especially have quite dry legs. The skin becomes so well moisturized that you actually don't need to apply lotion afterwards. But if you are like me, a little obsessed with body lotion and love the feeling of being moisturized, then the last warrior in this set comes into play: Whipped body cream 70 ml A pretty thick, rich body lotion that is incredibly moisturizing. Despite its consistency, it surprisingly absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't feel sticky afterwards. Also this one has the same fantastic floral scent as the other products. This series gets full marks from me βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ1 product in post Fantastic scent πΈ1434 views

- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 11 monthsHey Emma!π Absolutely! You can use this as a spot concealer on the red areas before applying your regular foundation. It neutralizes redness with its green pigments, so you don't need to use it all over your face π Just keep a thin layer and let it set before applying foundation on top! Take care!π€1 likes
- The post was made 11 monthsRating: 4 out of 5verified customerSuper good base with a natural result!I have as #lykoinflutester been able to try this CC cream from #lumene for a while. About me: 43 years young. Normal skin with a bit oilier areas (T-zone). Not many signs of aging, more than a few fine lines on my forehead, and small crow's feet around my eyes when I laugh. Have a bit of light redness/superficial blood vessels on my cheeks and around my nose. My review of the product: βοΈ Gives an even and nice result βοΈ Feels moisturizing βοΈ Even though I am more of a "full cover girl", I like that this has medium coverage, on days when I don't want to look so made up. βοΈ Feels gentle on the skin βοΈ Easy to apply βοΈ Stays well for most of the day. I usually just touch up with a bit of powder when I get shiny after a couple of hours. But the product itself holds well, even during a sweaty workout π βοΈ Affordable βοΈ I think you get quite a bit of product to achieve a good result. I apply in two layers until I think it looks even and nice (see my video). βοΈ Feels quite sticky when it's on. And even though it's "glowy" for some, it looks greasy on me π In the video, I use a damp sponge, but then it gets TOO shiny. So I've switched to a dry sponge, even though it absorbs more of the product compared to a damp one. Then it takes quite a bit of mattifying powder before I'm satisfied π Overall, I am satisfied with this CC color correcting cream. I have used quite a bit of Lumene's products, both makeup and skincare, and I think they are usually good! πΈ1 product in post Super good base with a natural result!
- The post was made 1 yearsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testareBetter than I dared hope for!As #LYKOINFLUTESTER I have been able to try Lumilips from #SILKN for a couple of weeks. I was very excited and looking forward to receiving this! π About me: I am 43 years old. I don't have many signs of aging, but maybe a little hint of mouth corners starting to point downwards. I have fillers in my lips, done with a hyaluron pen. However, I haven't filled them for over a year. And my lips are not exactly very thin naturally. My impression of the product: βοΈ I thought already from the first use that my lips felt fuller. And after just a couple of uses, I thought it started to show as well. Of course, no drastic change, but still noticeable. βοΈ Easy and convenient to use, and easy to clean. The part you have in your mouth can be removed, and I usually wash it off with dish soap. I wash the mask off with micellar water after use. βοΈ After about 2 weeks of use, I also noticed that my mouth corners started to "fade out" a bit. I also think that the skin around my lips has gotten a nicer glow. βοΈ I think my lip contours have become clearer. βοΈ Already after the first use, my lips felt incredibly dry and tight! This is something that usually only happens to me in winter, but now it happened the same after using the mask. The only thing that works when it gets like this is natural beeswax balm, so I have had to apply lip balm almost constantly. This fortunately calmed down after about 2-3 weeks, even though I used the mask daily. But I was close to giving up the evaluation after just a few days. My lips felt SO tight! Now they feel normal again. But you have to be prepared to always have a lip balm on hand π βοΈ Quite poor battery life. Even though you only use the mask for 5 minutes a day, you have to charge it every other day. And it takes quite a long time to charge it. Overall, I am satisfied with the mask! It is quite expensive, but I actually experience a positive effect from it. I will continue to use it every day βοΈ1 product in post Better than I dared hope for!966 views
