More sticky than glossy
Cute little packaging, but unfortunately a very cheap look. I think there’s little about the packaging that stands out or gives the impression that special care was put into the design. It simply looks like something you could get from Makeup Mekka. The applicator itself, however, is a plus! It has a relatively thin brush that angles outward and is well suited for applying on the lips. This gives good control and is actually what lifts the overall impression for me. It gets an extra star here. When it comes to the product and the color itself, I’m unfortunately much less impressed. I had imagined a cooler pink tone, as I got the impression from the product image. In reality, I find the color significantly warmer, with a clear orange undertone. Not quite what I was looking for. The biggest problem, however, is the consistency. The product is extremely sticky! At first, I thought this might mean the lip gloss would stay well on the lips, but I was wrong. The color disappears quite quickly, while the stickiness remains. If you touch your lips with your fingers, it almost feels like you need to use dish soap to get rid of the residue. A rather unpleasant experience! You definitely have to wash your hands well with soap. All in all, I think this is a cheap and disappointing product, especially considering the price. I struggle to understand how the makeup products from Nude Beauty can have such steep prices when the quality, in my opinion, does not match the price tag. Makeup Mekka, in my experience, delivers better products at a fraction of the price – actually about an eighth of what you pay here. Unfortunately, no favorite, and definitely not a repurchase from me. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #NUDEBEAUTY

Cheap impression for a stiff price
This must be one of the less good mascaras I have tested on the market. Both the packaging and the product itself give a rather cheap impression. The packaging consists of very light and plastic-like material, while the brush is a fairly standard and simple variant. I don't think the brush works particularly well for application, as it offers little control and feels unstable to work with. This is also quite visible in the results in the pictures. I am generally quite strict when it comes to mascara, but this one really disappointed. The formulation is unimpressive, and the product clumps easily. It is difficult to get even and nice strokes on the lashes, and the result quickly becomes uneven. And volume? I honestly wonder where it went, because it certainly didn't come with this tube! It doesn't get better by trying to build up multiple layers either. On the contrary, the unevenness becomes even more obvious, and the lashes get varying lengths and amounts of product. Some lashes get significantly more product than others, which gives a somewhat inconsistent result. No, unfortunately, this mascara did not appeal to me at all. I also think the price is quite steep considering both the packaging and the quality of the product itself. My overall impression is that this appears as a typical budget product, but the price tag tells a completely different story. I simply expected more here. No repurchase from me! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #NUDEBEAUTY

Elegant and spicy, a kind of breeze
First of all: incredibly beautiful bottle! Both the design and the deep, beautiful color give an exclusive and elegant expression. At the same time, I think the bottle has a somewhat masculine touch, which actually reflects the scent quite well. My first impression was that this is a perfume better suited for mature women (50+). The scent is quite spicy and, in my opinion, borders on being masculine. It is especially the peppery note that stands out clearly, and I experience an interesting mix of masculine and feminine fragrance notes. As the perfume settles on the skin, the scent becomes milder and the other notes come forward more. I actually liked it better the more I tested it. It is definitely not overwhelming or too strong, but has a nice balance despite the pronounced spicy character. However, this is not a perfume I would buy again for myself. It’s mainly about the scent itself, but also a bit about the price. It simply doesn’t quite fit my personality and preferences. I prefer more feminine and preferably slightly sweeter scents. I would, however, recommend this to mature women who want an elegant, slightly tougher and spicy scent without it becoming too intense. Something that typically reflects Versace in my opinion. All in all, a good perfume, but not a scent for me. To each their own! #lykoinflutester #versace

Cooling Effect
Cute and small packaging, but I'm not particularly thrilled about the cap. It has a small groove that you have to line up every time you put the cap back on. An unnecessary addition that quickly becomes a bit annoying. The tube itself, however, is very good. It’s soft and makes it easy to control how much product you squeeze out. The applicator is a flat metal tip designed to evenly distribute the product under the eyes. My first thought was that this was brilliant, as I could store it in the fridge for an extra cooling effect. However, it turned out I didn’t need to! The metal tip stays cool even in a heated bathroom, which I think is a big plus. As for the product itself, I’m unfortunately less impressed. It tends to clump and "flake" off after application, even on freshly washed skin without any other products underneath. I find this strange, and it makes the product difficult to use. It doesn’t happen every time, but often enough to be irritating. I suspect this might be due to the shimmer added to the eye serum. Looking at the picture, you can see an extreme amount of shimmer, which in my opinion is completely unnecessary to add to a skincare product. The formulation is thin and light, but unfortunately doesn’t quite suit my skin. I experience similar issues with several products from Lumene, so I don’t know if this is typical for the brand or if it’s simply an ingredient combination my skin doesn’t react well to. I also think it’s a bit early to conclude on the effect. The product promises to visibly reduce dark circles and brighten the area under the eyes. I’m a bit skeptical from the start. I find it hard to believe that such an affordable product would make a big difference, especially since I don’t get the impression that the product properly absorbs into the skin due to the flaking. All in all, there are some nice details in the packaging and applicator, but the formulation unfortunately lowers the overall impression. I will probably stick to my regular eye cream from Beauty of Joseon (Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal). #LYKOINFLUTESTER #LUMENE

Pretty okay, strong scent
I actually didn’t know this was heat-protective before I was about to write the review 🙈 So I’ve obviously been using a bit of a double dose of products, this one + heat protectant on top again.. I think that should be clearer on the bottle, preferably with bigger text 🙉 For me, heat protection is a big plus, and it’s definitely something I would notice if it was more highlighted. When it comes to the actual effect, I think this is pretty okay. It calms frizz a bit and adds some moisture, but I miss more. My hair tends to get dry and frizzy when the weather changes, and now that autumn is approaching, I need something that adds significantly more moisture than this. What I really can’t get past is the scent. It’s very strongly perfumed and reminds me again of cheap at-home hair dye. It’s not exactly a scent I associate with a product that’s supposed to care for and protect hair. I like hair products to smell good, but this one is just too intense for my taste. It’s definitely not useless, but I had hoped for a bit more. The series promises a lot, and so far I don’t think the products quite deliver on all the promises. At the same time, this is a product where I think the price makes the expectations a bit more moderate. A big plus is definitely that it’s heat-protective. I will therefore continue to test it further – this time without adding an extra heat protectant on top 😅 – to see if it grows on me over time. For now, though, I think the intense scent lowers the overall impression and thus also some stars… #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDS

Shine, where are you?
Shine? Not added to my hair, at least. I think it got lost along the way … I expected significantly more from a hair mask, especially when it promises intensive moisture, improved softness, and more shine. So far, unfortunately, I haven’t really seen much of any of these effects. My hair feels dry, and I almost feel it’s drier after I started using this. I miss the soft, moist feeling I expect after a hair mask. When I use a mask, I usually expect my hair to feel extra cared for and good afterwards – I don’t experience that with this one… What I actually notice an effect on is frizz. It seems to calm some of the small hairs and make the hair a bit more controlled, but beyond that, I find the effect quite limited. However, I do like the texture. It’s thick and creamy and feels more like the texture I expect from a hair mask. That’s why I will continue to test it for a while before giving my final verdict. Maybe it needs a bit more time or more treatments before the effect shows. Unfortunately, the scent also detracts. I absolutely like conditioners and hair masks to smell good, but this one is way too intense and perfumed for my taste. The scent feels almost overwhelming and lingers in the hair for a long time. All in all, I think the product promises a lot, but so far it delivers very little. I hope it can surprise me after longer use, because I really like the texture. Right now, it’s mainly less frizz that I can give it credit for. #lykoinflutester #waterclouds

Little effect
I had high expectations for this conditioner, as the main focus and promise is good moisture for the hair. Unfortunately, I don't feel it delivers particularly well on this. Together with the shampoo, I notice somewhat less frizz, especially on the small baby hairs that easily stick up after blow-drying. Beyond this, however, I find the effect quite small. My hair feels dry, and I don't experience that this conditioner provides the moisture or softness I expect from a conditioner. The consistency also feels a bit too "thin" for my taste. It is admittedly more economical to use than the shampoo, but I still feel I have to use quite a bit of product to notice any significant effect – and even then, I find the result quite limited. The scent is also a big minus here. It is very intense and reminds me of a cheap hair dye. The scent lingers in the hair and simply feels too strong over time. For me, this detracts a lot, especially when the product is marketed as something you can use daily. All in all, I don't think the conditioner does much for my dry hair. It gives some help against frizz, but I miss both moisture, softness, and a clearer nourishing effect. When both the shampoo and conditioner have such an intense scent, the overall impression unfortunately isn't very positive. I would have expected more from a series that is supposed to give shine, softness, and healthier hair… #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDS
