Almost a 5-star product!
Nice, simplistic mascara... uh... tube? made of plastic. Not too long, not too bulky in shape like some mascara tubes with more “creative” looks. Big plus. I'm not a simplistic/minimalist person overall, but I definitely prefer makeup packaging that is, because I almost always do my makeup on the go and therefore want compact packaging that doesn't take up unnecessary space in my makeup bag! I find the plastic quite smooth, which isn't the ideal material if you have grip strength issues for example, but most people probably wouldn't have any problems with it. I was surprised when I opened and pulled out the brush and it did NOT come with like a teaspoon of extra mascara glue. Every time I start a new mascara, I have to wrestle with it so it doesn't apply way too much that just clumps and has no chance to be nicely distributed over the lashes. I don't know if Estelle&Thild made the little rubber piece inside the tube much smaller in diameter so it scrapes off the excess better, or if it was pure magic that mine performs so incredibly well right after opening, but whatever it is, I'm extremely satisfied! I rarely like brushes that aren't silicone because I think silicone tips usually comb through my lashes better, but this brush manages to perform really well on that front too! I'm not quite sure if I agree with other reviewers that the Vivid View Volume mascara is very heavy and bends the lashes down. I was rather impressed that my lashes seemed to hold more upward direction than usual. You might say the actual bend didn't hold a perfect curve, but it didn't weigh the lashes down completely flat. I also didn't find it crumbled as much as other reviewers, but I probably wouldn't rely on this for a whole long day in blazing sun, for example. I love brown mascaras, and if I hadn't found another new favorite earlier this year, this one could probably have taken the spot! It's quite dark brown, but definitely not black. Very similar to my current favorite mascara (Idun Minerals Vatn waterproof brown mascara) in color, which you can see in the picture. Estelle&Thild on the left, and Idun Minerals on the right. Overall, I'm surprisingly impressed with this, after being let down by so many other mascaras before. I think it's true that it gives volume rather than length as the name suggests, I think the color was really nice, and most of all, I'm a bit enchanted by how it actually scraped off the excess so I avoided my usual routine of wiping away wasted product right after opening a new mascara! Something I didn't think about before reading a few other reviews was that the mascara contains castor oil, which many use as a nourishing oil on eyelashes to help them grow long and healthy. It probably requires a much longer test period to know if it actually has any nourishing effect, but it sounds smart at least! #lykotestpilot #estellethild1 product in post Almost a 5-star product!1 views - The post was made 55 minutesRating: 4 out of 5
Cute, handy everyday palette, don’t expect a dramatic result!
Cute and compact palette in a sturdy solid box that opens and closes smoothly. I’m so grateful for the mirror in the lid, but I wish the mirror wasn’t quite so narrow. It would be an extra plus if the mirror were taller so you can see both the eyelids AND the surrounding area a bit better, as I prefer to see the whole picture a bit more when I apply my eyeshadow. The shadows feel quite large in surface area, which means you’re not limited to using tiny tiny brushes (ahem ahem, Urban Decay Naked Palettes, ahem ahem). I was so OVERJOYED when I saw this wasn’t yet another warm palette, but something that works nicely with my cool skin tone! So many makeup brands seem to forget those of us who aren’t naturally sun-kissed and golden brown. I agree with other reviewers who mention the pigment in the two matte shadows. They’re a bit too “chalky,” if I may use a bit of Spanglish, and don’t apply with evenly distributed pigment. The shimmer shadows, on the other hand, are really nice in pigment and work really well. They apply best with a finger or a sponge instead of a makeup brush (just like most glitter/shimmer products). I understand many are disappointed with the pigment, especially since we now expect quite a lot of pigment in makeup products. It’s definitely not a smoky eye palette for nightclub nights, but I think it’s much more suitable for everyday use and/or if you want to start using more eyeshadow in a more cautious way. I think it resembles eyeshadow palettes that are currently popular in South Korea and China, where thin, natural layers of shimmering eyeshadows in cooler tones are fashionable. So if you’re unsure how to use the palette, I imagine you can draw a lot of inspiration from their makeup routines! This suits you if you: - have a cool/neutral tone - like more natural/everyday makeup - want ONE handy palette with a complete look on the go - prefer not to have too many synthetic ingredients in your makeup #lykotestpilot #estellethild1 product in post Cute, handy everyday palette, don’t expect a dramatic result!2 views - The post was made 1 hourRating: 2 out of 5
More glittery than a "regular" bronzer, and not for cool-toned people, but could be a perfect match for others!
First and foremost: I like the packaging and have ALMOST ONLY positive comments about it. I like that it’s made of cardboard instead of plastic, yet it still feels really sturdy. It closes and opens easily, but it’s unlikely to open by itself in a bag. I like that it’s flat so it can be stacked (so tired of makeup compacts with a dome top that makes storage awkward). I love that it has a mirror in the lid. Beautiful product, where the bronzer is marbled. Feels like staring at a planet! The only downside is that the powder itself is domed. There’s technically nothing wrong with that, but if it were flat instead, the packaging could probably be significantly shorter in height. I prefer really compact makeup because I almost always do my makeup "on the go," and therefore I don’t want to have to squeeze unnecessarily large compacts into my small makeup bag. As for the product itself in practice, unfortunately it’s not right for me, at least not for the intended use! I like when base products (bronzer/blush/highlighter) are more shimmery than glittery, it simply looks better on my skin. I would say this bronzer has those extremely fine particles that shimmery products usually have, rather than glitter, but somehow it still feels glittery. The amount of glitter/shimmer reminds me much more of a highlighter than a bronzer. It’s really not for those who are afraid of sparkling in the sunshine! The color is very warm on me, but that’s life when you have as cool a tone as I do. As a bronzer, it leans more toward red-orange than green-orange, if you know what I mean. In pictures (under lamp light indoors and in daylight) you can see Estelle&Thild Sunset Sheen Melange Bronzer Terra on the left and the classic Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer on the right for comparison. You can see that Hoola is more yellowish in tone compared to Sunset Sheen Melange Terra. Now, Hoola is a matte powder, so the comparison is more for pigment and color reference. I would say Estelle&Thild’s is buildable in pigment and easy to apply and blend in thin layers, which I like! It feels like there’s a very even distribution of pigment and glitter when you apply it. So personally, it doesn’t work as a bronzer for me, both because of my skin tone and because of the very glittery result. However, I tried an ultra-thin layer on my collarbones/decolletage and thought it looked really nice! A bit of a tropical beach vibe. So I think it works well as a body shimmer if you want to find an alternative use! I can imagine it might be smart to market it as a product with a beach/vacation feel rather than an everyday bronzer, so people get the right impression of the result. #LYKOTESTPILOT #lykotestpilot #estellethild1 product in post More glittery than a "regular" bronzer, and not for cool-toned people, but could be a perfect match for others!3 views - The post was made 2 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Really good brown mascara that lasts all day
A really good brown mascara that is easy to apply and gives a beautiful, full result. It is a more volumizing mascara but also adds a bit of length. The packaging is really nice and simple. The thickness of the tube makes it easy to hold and makes applying the mascara quick and easy. The formula is on the more liquid side, so you should expect the mascara to need a couple of minutes to dry before you can add more layers. This means it doesn’t flake, even after wearing it all day. The brown color makes the mascara perfect for everyday use, as it gives a more natural look compared to black mascara. It is also really great for green eyes, as it highlights the green tones in the eyes. The brush makes the mascara very easy to use, as it is not too big and the bristles are not too dense. I am also a big fan of the addition of castor oil (also called ricinus oil) and cocoa butter, as you can care for your lashes while wearing makeup. Castor oil is known to make lashes fuller with continued use. The mascara is made with 99% natural ingredients, of which 66% are organic. So if you are looking for a mascara with more natural ingredients, this is a really good place to start! I have been incredibly happy with this mascara, and it has become a permanent part of my everyday makeup. Definitely a mascara I would buy again, and I am really looking forward to trying the black variant of the mascara! #lykotestpilot #estellethild1 product in post Really good brown mascara that lasts all day9 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Estelle&thild eyeshadow
Easy to use, has beautiful natural colors. Liked that it came in a nice little natural packaging Good for both light makeup and a bit more glam. Met all the expectations I had for it and will most likely buy it again🙌🏻 I would say it’s worth trying out and definitely worth the money since it’s universal and can be used in many different ways even though the colors are quite natural. #lykotestpilot #estelle&thild1 product in post Estelle&thild eyeshadow7 views - The post was made 3 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Nice but not a huge effect 🧐
This mist is really easy and nice to use! It has a fine mist that distributes well in the hair, and it simply smells wonderful 🫶🏼 When it comes to the actual effect on my hair, I have to be a bit more neutral. Unfortunately, I don’t experience it making a big difference for my thin, Scandinavian hair. It doesn’t give a clear “wow” effect or anything I can really feel makes a difference. On the other hand, it leaves the hair with a really lovely scent, so I almost think it works best as that little extra step when I want my hair to smell good 🩷 #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive #lykoreview1 product in post Nice but not a huge effect 🧐56 views - The post was made 3 hoursRating: 5 out of 5
A little moisture bomb for the hair 🩷
Okay, this hair mask is really lovely! It feels so moisturizing and leaves my hair super soft, shiny, and beautiful 🩷 I typically have thin, Scandinavian hair, so I can’t use it too often because it can get a bit too heavy and make my hair look greasy. But when my hair is really in need of moisture, this one wins every time! It has therefore become a little “SOS mask” for me when my hair really needs extra love ✨ And for that, it’s really good! #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive #lykoreview1 product in post A little moisture bomb for the hair 🩷15 views - The post was made 3 hoursRating: 3 out of 5
Not a match 😔
It really gives that soft, smooth feeling you love after washing your hair 🫧 The hair feels super well cared for and gets a nice shine, and it smells really lovely! 🫶🏼 But again, my thin, Scandinavian hair is probably just not the right hair type for such a conditioner 😔 It feels a bit too heavy on my lengths, and my hair quickly loses that light feeling and tends to look greasy! I therefore think it would be much better for hair that is thicker, dry, or really needs extra moisture and care 🫰🏼 For my fine hair, unfortunately, it’s a bit too much of a good thing. #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive #lykoreview1 product in post Not a match 😔13 views - The post was made 3 hoursRating: 3 out of 5
Unfortunately not a match for my hair 😔
I have tested Waterclouds Gloss Revive Shampoo, and although it feels really nice to use, unfortunately it’s not quite a match for my typically thin, Scandinavian hair 🩷 I find it a bit too heavy for my hair, which already tends to get greasy quickly. I also miss a bit more of a “clean feeling” after washing, as I think it cleans very gently and therefore doesn’t quite feel like my hair is clean enough. On the other hand, the hair feels soft and well cared for after use, and if you have thicker or drier hair that needs a bit of extra care, I think it can definitely be a really good match ✨ #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive #lykoreview1 product in post Unfortunately not a match for my hair 😔8 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

I tested the new The Ordinary Lacto-PDRN 4% + B9 Eye Cream for a week, and here are my first impressions!
I especially like this texture. It’s both soft and firm at the same time, and the cream doesn’t immediately slide around when applied. It feels like the cream stays exactly where I put it, which makes it really easy to apply. After a week of use, I’ve noticed that the eye area looks brighter, a bit smoother, and the dark circles also appear a little lighter. Of course, I can’t say this is the final result after just one week, but the first impressions are very promising. The texture contains Lacto-PDRN, which is The Ordinary’s vegan alternative to salmon-derived PDRN. Also, PDRN is currently one of the trendiest ingredients in the skincare world, so it was especially interesting to try The Ordinary’s version of it. This is also The Ordinary’s first eye cream, so I had quite high expectations. Right now, I’d say my favorite things are definitely the texture and the immediate brightness in the eye area. Now I want to see how the area looks after a few more weeks of use! #lykotestpilot #theordinary1 product in post I tested the new The Ordinary Lacto-PDRN 4% + B9 Eye Cream for a week, and here are my first impressions!131 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Estelle&thild bronzer
Not worth it. I was excited to try this out but quickly became disappointed when I tried it here because it was more of a highlighter than a bronzer. Way too much shimmer and way too little color. If you even want to look a bit sun-kissed, you have to build it up, but you can't do that either because then it becomes extremely shimmery. It's also not good that you have to build it up just to see anything since you'll just end up using the product way too fast :/ #lykotestpilot #estelle&thild1 product in post Estelle&thild bronzer5 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Estelle&thild slanted brush
Good makeup brush at a good price🙏 I was so pleased with this brush that I got to test it out🤩 it definitely quickly became a favorite of mine. It is so good and soft, picks up product well, and blends insanely well. I've never really found an eyeshadow brush I truly like, but this one shocked me and I actually want to use more eyeshadow now. Good quality, worth trying out🌟 #estelle&thild #lykotestpilot1 product in post Estelle&thild slanted brush6 views - The post was made 5 hoursRating: 2 out of 5
Glowing forehead
The idea of cardboard packaging is funny, but it really looks dirty already after just a few weeks😂 Even when opening the packaging, the tape tore off a piece. Otherwise, it's a pretty good packaging, there's a mirror, and it snaps shut firmly! But this is definitely not a bronzer, it's a highlighter. There's hardly any pigment but plenty of glow. My forehead shimmered so much that I felt like staying home the first time I tried it😅 I had to always use my trusted product underneath and then gently dab this on top. It's a shame because the product has a really beautiful shade in its packaging but it doesn't show off at all! #lykotestpilot #estellethild1 product in post Glowing forehead6 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Estelle&thild brown mascara
Won't be using this mascara 😬 - it takes way too long to dry - smudges easily I don't really use mascara that often anymore, but it's fun to try something new since I've never tried brown mascara. Was disappointed because I don't want to sit and wait too long for it to dry when I know there are other mascaras that do a much better job. It wasn't a "wow" for me and it didn't do much other than add a bit of color. #estelle&thild #lykotestpilot1 product in post Estelle&thild brown mascara4 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Estelle&thild feather bronzer brush🤎
The makeup brush is worth trying out, it's soft, picks up enough product, and is good quality for a fair price. Even though it's a "bronzer brush," I think it works very well as a powder brush for the whole face (that's what I found worked best for me) Note that it is a bit larger than a typical bronzer brush. I will continue to use this for powders but most likely not for bronzer. #lykotestpilot #estelle&thild1 product in post Estelle&thild feather bronzer brush🤎3 views - The post was made 6 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Works as an everyday mascara!
My first brown mascara ever, and I would definitely buy it again! The color difference to black mascara isn’t big, but it softens the look a bit, which is perfect for everyday use🥳 The mascara separated the lashes as promised, but volume was missing. I already have long lashes, so I know there’s potential here for an even more striking look! But that’s exactly why this is the perfect everyday mascara🤩 While reading the product description, I realized that this mascara really didn’t clump, and that’s a great feature! The mascara was easy to apply and layer, it’s quite wet, which is probably the secret behind it all. Also, the eyelids stayed pretty clean during application, and if there was any mess, it was easy to clean up neatly! #lykotestpilot #estellethild1 product in post Works as an everyday mascara!7 views - The post was made 6 hoursRating: 3 out of 5
Feather Bronzer Brush
Really beautiful brush😍 #lykotestpilot #estellethild The bristles are indeed soft as the product description promises, but the overall brush feels quite stiff. In my opinion, the bronzer brush could be bigger and the bristles could give more to make application easier. The dense and narrow bristle does allow for more precise work if that's what you want! The brush feels good in the hand and the weight distribution is just right. The application felt a bit stiff because the brush feels harder due to the density than I'm used to, but this brush picked up bronzer evenly! Plus for the dark bristles that stay neat longer😊1 product in post Feather Bronzer Brush29 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Incredibly Softening
After my home treatment (made a post about it✨) I use it as a foot mask. I apply cream to my feet in the evening and put on my cozy socks.🦶🏽 Already after the first time I woke up with smooth and soft feet🧸 I appreciate the pleasant scent of the cream🥰 #lykoreview #lykotestpilot #sensai #maxfactor #khloekardashian1 product in post Incredibly Softening45 views - The post was made 11 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Good shampoo
The consistency of the shampoo in my hand and how it feels basically right after rinsing the product on my scalp – IS positive! After shampooing, the hair feels softer. And maybe the most important thing in my world is the result over time. After a few weeks of use, the hair is somewhat easier to manage and I also think the hair looks a bit healthier. Promised shine? Yes, I think so too! 😍 The only thing I would like to point out is that my hair gets a bit greasier a bit faster now than with my previous shampoo. But I tend to have dry hair if I wash it even a little too often, so for me this shampoo fits well in maintaining the moisture balance in the scalp due to a (desperate!) need for moisture and shine. But for someone who basically has very greasy hair, it might feel like the hair doesn’t quite get the kind of "deep cleansing" that might be desired. Just a thought! 🫧 #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive1 product in post Good shampoo102 views - The post was made 11 hoursRating: 3 out of 5
Hmm…
The scent is the first thing I notice when I spray a few test bursts into the air to get the spray bottle going, and it really smells good! Definitely a plus. 🌟 But the effect on the hair isn’t entirely convincing. I feel like the product doesn’t really penetrate the hair strand the way I expected. It probably does good on the surface, but mainly I feel like the hair really gets weighed down by the product. Or am I just applying too generously? Unclear… It almost feels like a larger amount of oil has been applied instead of a “mist,” and that’s not the feeling I want when I’m looking for a spray like this. 🤔 #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive1 product in post Hmm…39 views - The post was made 11 hoursRating: 5 out of 5
Very satisfied
When I open the cap and squeeze the conditioner into my hand, I think "Oh, this is a silky texture!" which I really appreciated. I could almost immediately start imagining that a product that feels this velvety can only do good… And yes, I really like this conditioner. After using the product a few times continuously, I have formed an impression of how smooth my hair has become both right after rinsing and over time. The best part is that I feel my hair has become easier to detangle, which has been by far my biggest problem, as a small knot tends to form in a particular spot on the back of my head (a mystery since childhood, believe it or not!) 🙌🥳 I will buy this conditioner again in the future! Really like it!! #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive1 product in post Very satisfied36 views - The post was made 11 hoursRating: 4 out of 5
Absolutely worth trying
Hmm… you know when you try a product and don’t quite feel “meh” or “ew”? 🐑 That’s how I feel after testing this hair mask for a few weeks. This hair mask feels a bit heavy in texture at first glance, which isn’t necessarily a problem. But sometimes it feels almost a bit unhygienic with the large jar; I would have preferred a tube packaging and a lighter texture. On the other hand, the positive thing about the texture is that the product is more economical and therefore lasts longer for the consumer. 👍 I’m not 100% convinced yet, but I suspect this could very well be a product that builds up over time. Which hopefully also leads to a sustainable result with continuous use 😄 #lykotestpilot #waterclouds #glossrevive1 product in post Absolutely worth trying14 views - The post was made 12 hoursRating: 2 out of 5
Very glittery and not so functional
#lykotestpilot #estellethild I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. The bronzer comes in a nice beige packaging with a mirror inside. Unfortunately, the paper material covering the packaging is, well, paper – so it’s impossible to remove the tape that keeps the bronzer closed without tearing the nice packaging, so now there is ugly white paper sticking out on the side of the packaging. A bit disappointing that this wasn’t considered when designing the packaging. When you open the bronzer, it looks very luxurious, it kind of bulges out and looks incredibly nice! Unfortunately, this unusual shape makes it quite difficult to get the right amount of product on the brush. I wish the product was significantly flatter. When I start applying the bronzer to my face, there isn’t too much product at once, which was very good for me because this shade was both too dark and too orange for my skin tone. But when I start building up a bit more just to see how the product works if you use more than a little, I get disappointed again. It is really incredibly, truly, very glittery. And I love glitter! But not at my hairline. And I can’t imagine when it would be appropriate to use an ultra-glittery bronzer. I have highlighters from other brands that promise a glowing result, but even those are more glossy than glittery. So unfortunately, I can’t recommend this one. But maybe it sounds like someone’s dream product, and in that case, of course, just go for it.1 product in post Very glittery and not so functional10 views
