    Fresh feeling and nice scent

    The product is easy to apply, doesn’t weigh down the hair, and actually gives a fresh feeling that makes the hair last longer between washes. I like the scent; it’s fresh and smells just right. I have acne-prone skin, which is also present on my scalp. Despite that, I didn’t get more pimples on my scalp; I would almost say it reduced the number of pimples on my scalp. Maybe not so surprising since it contains alcohol, which probably dries them out. However, I am critical of the claim that the product provides up to 72 hours of fresh feeling. I wouldn’t say my hair stays fresher between washes, but it does feel a bit fresher. On the other hand, the product layers up if you use it more than once. Meaning you reapply the product over several days. It’s not really comparable to a dry shampoo, which actually gives a drier, fresher result immediately. The serum gives more of a fresh and clean result that feels a bit luxurious. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester received the product for free.

    A bit unclear description

    When I received the product, it was unclear how to use it since it doesn't say on the product. I wished it stated whether it should be used on wet or dry hair. Also, instructions on how and where to apply it. Otherwise, the product smells nice, reminds me of coconut but definitely not strong. The spray bottle gives a fairly good mist of product that easily settles on the scalp and hair. However, I find that it makes the hair a bit rough and sticky, causing the hair to clump and look a bit stringy. Big plus that it has SPF 20, but I would have preferred SPF 50; you can never have too much sun protection. There is also a lack of description on how often to reapply the product for maximum sun protection. The question remains how much is needed. Maybe I used too much product since it gets sticky?

    Doesn't work on curly hair

    Unfortunately, this product does not work on my naturally curly hair. The hair becomes rough and tangles at the ends, so the curls don’t come out as they usually do after a shower. A bit of a shame, I think, because the product smells good, gives a nice lather, and is easy to wash out. However, it works well on the scalp; the shampoo gives a clean and fresh feeling that, in my opinion, lasts one day longer than regular shampoo. I wash my hair twice with shampoo and do this every 3-4 days. With this shampoo, I think the scalp stays clean and fresh longer, so I get an extra day, which is good because it saves my hair a bit.

    Good durability

    The product has good durability, but I don't like that it becomes crusty and stiff in the hair. It smells nice and I, with my asthma, do not react to it. However, it only gets 3/5 from me because I don't like the texture in the hair. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the test pilot got to try the product for free.

    Buttery

    A very buttery and pigmented lipstick that applies easily to the lips. Personally not a favorite because it smudges and gets on everything you touch with your lips. However, I love the formula which, despite the matte finish, is buttery and not cakey. No lines and it doesn’t dry out the lips. Really recommend it together with a matching lip liner, a real dream combo! The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the test pilot got to try the product for free.

    Very good mascara!

    Here we have a mascara with a clear black color that highlights the eyes in a natural and not exaggerated way. Something I love, I hate when mascara gets thick and clumpy. The brush is soft and larger than the ones I normally use, so it’s a little harder to reach those last tiny lashes far inside, but definitely not a big and fluffy brush. Application is easy and doesn’t clump. The formula is light and glides easily over the lashes, which gives a light placement without clumps. The mascara stays well, doesn’t run, and doesn’t leave spots or flakes. Definitely lasts all day and can be built up if you want more volume. Since it’s waterproof, it’s a bit harder to remove but I used Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Vitamin C All-in-1 Micellar Water to remove all makeup. I used this together with Tops reusable pads that you can easily wash clean after each use. I REALLY recommend them! After that, I used my usual facial cleanser from the pharmacy, which is from the REN skin series. Had no problems removing the mascara with this combination.

    Natural Glow

    Tried shade 10 and for my very fair skin it fit okay. It got a little bit dark on the neck but absolutely no obvious line. It gives a natural look with a nice radiance. Definitely buildable if you want more coverage. Holds up okay during the day but I think it oxidizes and gets a bit "yellower" towards the afternoon. It sits well on the skin and I, who usually have to use a sponge or brush around lunch to get rid of lines under the eyes, didn’t need to with this one. I used hickup 115 for application and it blended sooo easily on the skin. Recommend! The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the tester got to try the product for free.

    Soooo pretty

    A really nice blush that gives a natural and beautiful color to the cheeks. The texture is buttery and blends easily with sponge, finger, or brush. Well pigmented, so be careful if you want a light color on the cheeks! Easy to build up color if you want. Doesn’t leave any spots and holds well throughout the day on both natural cheeks and with foundation. Haven’t tested on the lips, but it’s perfect for the cheeks.

    Perfect formula!

    A completely perfect formula that keeps both color and lipstick in place all day. Gives a full look together with the matching lipsticks that have sooo beautiful shades. Love love love the formula! It’s like butter but stays like a rock! Recommended! The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the test pilot got to try the product for free.
