Best mascara ever! 🏆
This was a really spontaneous purchase I made (at another store, it wasn't available at LYKO in Sundsvall back then😢) before my trip to Cape Verde where I needed a waterproof mascara. I have previously gone to a salon and had eyelash extensions for several years. I stopped doing that about 1.5 years ago. I naturally have long lashes and prefer a regular brush head on a mascara and not a silicone brush. Previously, I used the popular “sky high” mascara and Lancome doll eyes, nothing wrong with them. It was just that the sky high mascara wasn’t available before I had to leave, and I had to look for a new one. This one really beats that and it’s just as good as doll eyes from Lancome. The mascara holds on like crazy. In the bath, in the sauna, activities, party nights - this one doesn’t let you be embarrassed by getting black under your eyes or flaking at all. Affordable and separates the lashes nicely. Doesn’t clump and is easy to build up in multiple layers. My colleagues at work thought I had started getting eyelash extensions again after using this mascara. 🤭 Personally, I think a plastic brush separates the strands better and gives better fullness and volume compared to a silicone brush. ➕ plastic brush head ➕ separates nicely ➕ gives volume and fullness ➕ easy to build up in multiple layers ➕ holds like a rock! ➕ doesn’t clump and doesn’t flake ➕ just as good as “doll eyes” from Lancome - but more affordable. 🏆Translated from swedish

Don't like this flat iron!
This flat iron is equipped with titanium plates that are supposed to provide quick heating, give a long-lasting result, and provide a smooth and shiny finish. You can set the flat iron from 150 degrees up to 210 degrees. ✨about me: Thick Scandinavian hair. ✨what do I think of the product? I’ll start by adding that I usually use GHD’s platinum flat iron and therefore am not at all satisfied with this flat iron. If it had cost 799kr, I would have thought it was a good flat iron and absolutely worth buying, but for 1699kr (retail price).. absolutely not! I would rather have bought a better flat iron where you get more for your money. The flat iron itself is a completely ordinary, simple flat iron. Quite "plastic-y" and feels cheap in my opinion. The gap on the flat iron (the distance between the plates) is not that wide. The flat iron is not made for thick hair. I feel like I have to flat iron the same spot several times before I get it flat. It is incredibly, incredibly slow to heat up. Heating up to 185 degrees took me 1 minute and 21 seconds!!!! My GHD takes me 11 seconds to reach the same degree. What’s good about it is that you have a lock function on the side of the flat iron so you can lock it to make it smaller (practical). You can choose how many degrees you want it to be set to, and it curls the hair easily if you want to do that with it. Long cord. Other than that.. no. There are definitely better flat irons to choose from. ❌ #lykoinflutester #björnaxen #obhnordicaTranslated from swedish

High heat protection & smells amazing!
This is a heat and UV protection that withstands up to 220 degrees while also caring for and adding shine to the hair. Heat protection is a must for anyone using all types of curling irons or hair dryers. 👩🦰👨🦰 ✨ what do I think of the product? This heat protection from Björn Axén gets the highest rating from me. I use heat styling tools daily and have tested several over the years. This one contains both a high heat protection, it smells absolutely amazing (floral and vanilla) and cares for the hair, which I think is perfect if you don't want to use multiple products. This product goes a long way in caring for your hair, adding shine, and protecting it from UV rays or heat tools. The absolute best thing about this product, besides taking care of the hair, is that it doesn't stick multiple hair strands together when using heat tools, which I have found many heat protection products actually do. I have nothing negative to say about this product. I think it's worth the money while you get an incredibly good product. Additional plus for the product for being dermatologist tested and vegan.🌱 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #BJÖRNAXEN #OBHNORDICATranslated from swedish

Lovely body lotion for spring/summer🍊
I have been tasked as a #lykoinflutester to test #ESTELLETHILD’s new blossom souffle body cream🍊 ❤️ the product: A whipped and light body lotion that contains shea butter and jojoba oil. Moisturizing, provides deep hydration, and absorbs quickly into the skin upon application. Leaves the skin very soft and with a light glow. Vegan & organic product. 🌱 mild scent. 👱🏼♀️ I as a tester: Dry skin that requires a lot of hydration. Sensitive skin. In my opinion, this scrub suits all skin types. The product is neither too oily nor too light, but it leaves an incredible softness despite its light formula. Especially suitable for people with very dry to dry skin - particularly good from spring to a bit into autumn - a bit too light to use in winter (but I won’t rule this out as I haven’t tested it). 🌟 opinions: A super lovely and light formula that absorbs quickly into the skin. Has a light and fresh scent of flowers and citrus - smells mainly of orange in my opinion. 🍊 this is a perfect body lotion for spring and summer. Leaves the skin silky and incredibly soft. The scent is a bit sharper right upon application, but it also disappears quite quickly. This product works best together with the sugar scrub from the same series. As a duo, these are simply fantastic for the body! 👏🌟Translated from swedish

Perfect consistency as a peeling! 🍊
I have been tasked as a #lykoinflutester to test #ESTELLETHILD ’s new blossom crunch body scrub 🍊 ❤️ product: A nourishing body scrub that contains nourishing oils, shea butter, and sugar grains (relatively large grains) that gently peel away dead skin cells while also deeply moisturizing the skin. Vegan & organic product. 🌱 👱🏼♀️ I as a tester: Dry skin that requires a lot of moisture. Sensitive skin. In my opinion, this scrub suits all skin types. 🌟 opinions: I love this peeling! It really has perfect and just the right size sugar grains that gently melt into the skin when you work it in. The product doesn’t need to be worked in hard for it to work. Dead skin cells disappear with a sweep. Magical! 🧙 After the peeling, the skin is incredibly moisturized. You neither become dry nor does the skin hurt after scrubbing. Actually, you don’t need to apply any body lotion afterwards unless you want to, it is sufficiently nourishing as it is - but the accompanying body cream in the same series is a fantastic product to use afterwards as the next step. The scent is just about right. A mix of flowers and citrus, mostly smells like orange with a hint of flowers 🍊 I give this peeling 5/5 stars. FANTASTIC! The absolutely loveliest peeling I have ever used! 🙏🌟Translated from swedish

Clumps easily and becomes like 'spider legs' 😣
I have the honor of testing the kush-high roll mascara from #MILKMAKEUP as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER. 👱🏼♀️Me as a tester: I prefer regular lash brushes, not silicone. However, I do like the sky-high mascara with a silicone brush, for example. 🌟 product: A mascara that is supposed to provide volume and length. Water-resistant and smudge-free for up to 24 hours. 📝my opinion: A brush that evenly distributes the mascara without becoming excessive on the brush. However, it tends to clump several lashes together. In my opinion, it easily becomes very similar to typical 'spider legs'. I want volume and length, but I want the brush to evenly distribute the mascara without clumping several strands into one big strand in multiple places. I want it to give volume to each lash for a finer result (in my opinion). I find the product difficult to try to separate the strands if, for example, I am not satisfied that it clumps so many strands into several clumps. And the more you try to separate the lashes, the heavier the layers become on already existing clumped strands. I don't think it provides much result in building length, rather more that it builds up and forms so-called 'spider legs'. What I like is that it really keeps the mascara in place all day. It stays like a rock. Doesn't flake at all. Even in contact with water, it holds incredibly well. Additionally, it is very easy to remove with an eye makeup remover, for being a water-resistant product and also for holding so well all day. Here I would actually say that it is the easiest water-resistant mascara I have tested to remove. It has also been a long time since I tested a mascara that hasn't flaked/given a black layer under the eye for a whole day. I am somewhat torn about whether I would buy it again. Most likely not, since I don't like how it clumps several sections of lashes together and becomes so incredibly clumpy, in my opinion.Translated from swedish

Not a product for dry skin type.
I have the honor as a #LYKOINFLUTESTER to test #MILKMAKEUP ’s hydro grip gel tint foundation. 👱🏼♀️me as a tester: I have a combination skin type. Often troubled by my dry skin. Large pores on my face, mostly over the cheeks. 🌟 the product: A buildable and lightweight product that easily evens out skin tone and lasts all day without clogging pores or settling into creases and fine lines. It’s supposed to last up to 12H. 📝 my opinion: This is probably the worst foundation I have ever used for my dry skin type. It settles into all pores and all creases. The feel is a typical “theater makeup foundation,” i.e., extremely thick and hard to work out with a brush. It disappears from the skin immediately if you, for example, blow your nose or touch your face. It also creates large dry patches where I am driest, i.e., around the nose, which is then very hard to even out once it’s on the skin and in those dry areas. I actually have nothing good to say about this product at all. It’s expensive too.Translated from swedish

Too expensive primer for an OK product
As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I have had the honor of testing three products this time. First up for a review is a primer from #MILKMAKEUP. 👱🏼♀️ me as a tester: A combination skin type. Often troubled by my dry skin. Large pores. 🌟 the product: According to the description, an award-winning gel primer that is supposed to hold makeup for up to 12H. Contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide for hydration. Should distribute evenly for a smooth, nice, and glowy finish. 📝 opinion: My first thought was that the product had an incredibly synthetic scent, but the scent disappears relatively quickly upon application. The consistency is a bit softer than what you would expect from a gel primer. Quite sticky at first but gets better upon application. The typical "stickiness" also disappears relatively quickly when the product is massaged into the skin. The stickiness doesn't disappear completely, but I would say that 90% of the stickiness disappears after application. Which isn't bad in itself, it's quite a nice feeling that it has a little stickiness left. However, this affects that it doesn't keep the makeup in place all day. Now during pollen season, I sneeze quite a bit, and you can see how the foundation disappears immediately and leaves a trace behind. It doesn't hold at all what it promises - that the makeup should stay in place for 12 hours - when you touch your face, your foundation comes off. And that's a bit of what a primer is for - so I wouldn't say this is a good product for keeping makeup in place all day. It gets plus points for the feeling that it cools a bit right upon application and that it has a perfect consistency of stickiness / and normalizes well on the skin. Otherwise, it's not a keeper. It's too expensive and doesn't hold what it promises. If I buy a primer, it should last at least several times after touching my face / wiping my nose.Translated from swedish

A good concealer
I as #LYKOINFLUTESTER have been tasked with reviewing this concealer from #ROSEINC. 👱🏼♀️ I as a tester: 27-year-old who quite rarely uses concealer. Combination skin type with fine lines under the eyes. 🌸 the product: A concealer that brightens, evens out, and nourishes the skin. Minimizes the visibility of, for example, dark circles and lines. Long-lasting with medium coverage. 👍👎 Pros and cons: The advantages of this product are that it contains skincare ingredients in a makeup product. Light and creamy consistency. Relatively large brush head, which I prefer. The product neither cakes nor settles into fine lines. A pretty okay price for a concealer. Stays in place all day. Economical formula. The disadvantages are partly that the color was wrong, but that’s not the product’s fault. The packaging is quite bulky, which doesn’t have to be negative for everyone. I see no significant difference in that it has minimized fine lines/dark circles, and that’s what a concealer is for, therefore the rating is lowered. But overall, a pretty okay product, super good with nourishing ingredients for the skin. Worth trying. 🌟Translated from swedish

Not a good cheek & lip hybrid.
I as #LYKOINFLUTESTER have been tasked with reviewing this lip&cheek product from #ROSEINC. 👱🏼♀️ I as a tester: 27-year-old who prefers cream products when it comes to blush, highlighter, and bronzer for my dry skin. 🌸 the product: Is supposed to be a moisturizing cream blush that should work for both cheeks and lips. Should be pigmented, buildable, and melt into the skin. Vegan. Refillable product. Pigments with skincare ingredients. 👍👎 Pros and cons: The advantages of this product are that it has skincare ingredients in a makeup product. Good that it is refillable. A good price for a blush. The disadvantages are that I rarely settle for a product that is designed to be used for lips and cheeks, the formula is almost never good. In my opinion, a bit too heavy to be a typical lip product and a bit too weak in pigmentation, and too sticky and unpigmented to be a good blush product. This product is no exception, it is way too soft and sticky to be a blush product in my taste, and too weak to be a classic “lipstick” product. Not at all particularly nice when you work it out on the cheeks, becomes quite patchy and as mentioned - not so vibrant. Well on the lips, it lays down like a thick layer that is not absorbed on the lips, moisturizing I can't say it is since it should sink in. Not a product for me. But fun to try! ❤️Translated from swedish
