Me, who doesn't like sticky stuff, loves it!
As a task from #lykoinflutester, I got to test this nourishing lip balm from #paulaschoice It has a light brown-beige nude color and contains peptides that are supposed to provide nutrition and proper moisture to the lips! My first impression of the packaging was that it felt solid and well thought out, the press on It felt high quality and luxurious. However, I found it hard to get the product out at first. Now it’s much easier. I'm not someone who likes to use lip balm daily because I find it uncomfortable to have sticky lips without the lips becoming soft right away. But when I tested this product, I fell in love immediately! It has a mild vanilla scent and a pleasant texture if you use the right amount. Even when most of it is removed, I feel that a lot of moisture and softness it provided remains. This is definitely a product that exceeded my expectations. Another lip product I tested before that gave me soft lips without stickiness was unfortunately way too expensive (about 1000 SEK), and I’ve wondered if there’s a product that gives similar results, and I think this is it! Now I don’t have to walk around with dry and flaky lips! Plus, it gives an incredibly nice finish on the lips with a subtle nude color. So I think the product is worth the price, and I’ve used it several times daily since I got it and feel that more than half is still left. #lykoreview1 product in post Me, who doesn't like sticky stuff, loves it!21 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

A bit too expensive
As a #lykoinflutester, I got to try this peptide cream from #paulaschoice, which is said to work well as both a day and night cream since it sits nicely under makeup. It’s also fragrance-free, which is a big plus for my sensitive skin! My first impression was that the jar has a very ergonomic and hygienic design and the dosing, which I really like. Then it felt like good quality in the cardboard and plastic, etc. The cream is quite thick but still lays fairly soft and light on the skin. However, I find it a bit stickier and oilier than the one I previously used during the day, so I mainly used this one in the evening. I thought it added moisture, but with my current routine including serum, unfortunately, my skin became a bit too oily during the day than I would have liked, so it felt a bit heavier and stickier when I had makeup on. However, the makeup sat nicely on top as mentioned. As a night cream, I liked it much more since it felt lighter because I didn’t apply anything on top of it. Could be a good day cream now for colder and drier times. Overall, I like it but think the price is too high for me to want to buy it again. Love the packaging and that it hasn’t caused me any reaction due to the fragrance-free ingredients. The rating is a bit lower since I didn’t get any wow effect and my existing skincare routine feels better. #lykoreview1 product in post A bit too expensive17 views - Received this cream for my assignment as a Lyko influencer! It starts strong by absorbing quickly into the skin, and you get a good grip, which will be exciting to see together with makeup since it’s described as makeup-friendly, and I don’t doubt that! Love the feeling on the skin, not oily at all but moisturizing, and since it’s fragrance-free, it will be exciting to test this for a few weeks and see what I think then.1 product in the look527 views

Good for precision
I got to test this tapered precision powder brush from #bylyko as a task for #lykoinflutester I also got to test blush and bronzer along with this and have therefore mainly used it for that, but also a bit of highlighter, and I think it worked best for blush and highlighter. It is very good for achieving good precision and is therefore suitable if you want a defined and more snatched look. For my face, I prefer a softer bronzer look and also blush. I would therefore instead recommend it for contour and highlighter! Otherwise, one of the more “luxurious” feelings I’ve had from a Lyko brush as it has some weight to the handle and the brush feels soft and picks up product well. Definitely a good value powder brush for precision results1 product in post Good for precision79 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
No wow but works
Got to try this Bronzer from #bylyko as #lykoinflutester My first reaction was that it was very lightly pigmented and I had to take a lot on the brush and it crumbled a lot so I had to shake off the brush and work it in. I used Lyko's tapered brush which I also got to try and felt that you had to work layer by layer to get a visible result that was still quite subtle but it might be the chosen color Golden days. I also used another fluffier powder brush and experienced the same thing there, barely any color but a warm tone. So if you take too much it looks weird. This bronzer blended very nicely with the blush I got to try from Lyko. For me who avoids bronzer powder and instead uses cream contour, I liked the light pigmentation as it gave me a light refresh and fits well for summer when you want to look a bit summer-fresh. Felt very light on the skin. Not a product I will use a lot since I prefer contour but if I want a little quick "color" and life in the face I can1 product in post No wow but works29 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Perfect for a sun-kissed look
I had the honor of testing this blush from #bylyko as #lykoinflutester! I got to choose my own shade and it was heat heart. This color is perfect if you are fair with neutral undertones or slightly cooler tones. The packaging is quite basic and doesn’t stand out, about what you’d expect for the price. Unfortunately, the formula crumbles a lot but is pigmented and picks up well on the brush. The crumbling means you lose some product and it might get a bit messy. However, I haven’t experienced any crumble falling on the face. I think it applies nicely on the skin without becoming patchy for a powder blush. I’m in love with this color and will keep using it until it’s finished! Very impressed with the pigmentation and formula for the low price. The downside is that it crumbles and I might have wished for a little shimmer, but for a matte blush I’m very happy with the result. If you’re on a budget or want an affordable powder blush, I can recommend this!

Perfect retinol for sensitive skin!
#lykotestpilot #drceuracle I got so excited to also try this retinol and PDRN ampoule from my favorite brand. I have previously avoided active ingredients like retinol in my skincare because I have very sensitive skin and have had mild rosacea issues before. When I read that this helps build up the skin barrier and is a good beginner retinol, I got really excited. I liked the bottle a lot as it was very easy to open, light, and felt hygienic. However, the dropper was a bit stiff and didn’t dispense much product. The product’s texture was a bit “stringy” and sticky. I couldn’t detect any particular scent, which is great if you’re sensitive to fragrance in skincare. It absorbed very well into the skin without making it oily, which was great for finishing with moisturizer and SPF. It works fine under makeup; I haven’t noticed any difference from before. Since I’m new to retinol, I started carefully using it almost every evening, then moved to using it morning and evening a few days a week. I haven’t noticed a big difference in elasticity yet, but I suspect my reduced pores and improved skin texture are due to this in combination with the matcha essence I also got to try during the same period! I had a few breakouts on my problem areas “chin” near the nose and on the forehead, but now they’ve started to calm down. It’s probably an adjustment period and this is a stronger active ingredient than what I’m used to. The left picture is after the test period. I would still say it suits sensitive skin, and if you have enlarged pores or are unhappy with your skin texture, this might help you. I will probably continue to use this in the evenings, and it works excellently with my skincare routine that I had before the test period. #lykoreview1 product in post Perfect retinol for sensitive skin!148 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Fantastic for dry and sensitive skin!
I've been able to try this for about 3 weeks now! So exciting because the last time I tried a toner from Dr Ceuracle, I was blown away! I love almost everything I've tried from the brand. I have dry, sensitive skin with mild rosacea but a tendency to get some pimples from time to time. My first impression was that the glass bottle was very heavy and felt very luxurious! The product dispensed well without being too thick or too runny. The formula was a bit watery but still easy to apply to the face. I love how the skin soaks up moisture immediately with this! The first thing I noticed, though, was the scent! It wasn’t perfumed but reminded me of rubber/balloon. It wasn’t super strong and faded pretty quickly, so it wasn’t a problem to have it on my face. However, my hands smelled a bit rubbery/balloon-like. It was a bit unpleasant at first, but now I’m used to it. I don’t know if it’s this or the retinol ampoule I tried, but my pores have really shrunk and are less “rough,” and my skin has gotten a really nice texture! What I love most about this is that it hasn’t caused any reaction and soothes the skin. It can feel a bit oily, so I don’t think this is for oily skin. But if you have dry and sensitive skin like me, you’ll love this if you can live with the slightly “rubbery” scent, which probably comes from the matcha.

Strong scent but very moisturizing
As a selected #lykotestpilot, I got to test this cleansing foaming gel from one of my favorite skincare brands #drceuracle I have previously used other products like the night cream and BHA toner from the Hyal Reyouth series, and right now the night cream is my last step in the evening. I have sensitive skin with mild rosacea and occasionally get pimples that can flare up from overly strongly scented products or strong active ingredients. I also have very sensitive eyes due to a flare-up of eczema on my eyelid right now, so I am extra sensitive around that area. At first, I tried to use it to remove all makeup including eye makeup, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. The product has a very strong scent which irritated my eyes a lot, so I have only used it after removing makeup with micellar water as the last cleansing step. So I have only used this in the evenings after makeup removal. I used it a bit cautiously at first, and when I did use it, I experienced that the skin was left moisturized and soft and that very little product is needed. It still gets good ratings for the formula, which is very pleasant on the skin despite my slight reaction to the scent. The skin feels very clean and suits dry skin! I probably wouldn’t buy it again because of this, and I’m unsure if I got a few more pimples because of this or if it’s one of the other two products I got to test along with this, but I will try to use it up and see. Also, I don’t think it has done any miracles in terms of cleansing. If you’re not sensitive to scent, you will love this! Probably also suitable for oily skin as I don’t feel greasy. The packaging is super good as there is a small place for a spatula that is included and the lid is flip-top! Makes application very easy. #lykoreview1 product in post Strong scent but very moisturizing Test pilot assignment
