Protection without greasy feeling
What is a leave-in product really supposed to do...? People probably have different opinions about that! For me, it’s about getting that protective extra layer on the hair that reduces wear and tear. At the same time, I do NOT want it to look like I’ve rubbed a butter block over the strand. The daughter? She wants heat protection and a nice scent, as well as an easy-to-handle spray. So what does Gliss Total Repair manage? Most things, actually. On the first test, I spray generously (after using shampoo and conditioner from the same series) and prepare for a day when I can’t wear my hair down. Imagine my surprise when I then see fluffy curls with plenty of volume as soon as the hair is dry. The daughter notes that the spray isn’t a fine mist, rather a fairly hard, targeted jet – but she actually prefers that as it gives better control. The fact that the product is hard to overdose (no butter block, as mentioned!) also makes the strong jet work. The scent is nice – but not as distinct as in the shower products with the same name (the scent from those lingers, so it’s no problem). We are positively surprised, especially considering the price. A small reservation and a warning though: - Does it really work for very dry hair, now that it rather creates fresh volume...? - Since the silicones smooth the hair nicely... they do the same with any floor surfaces. I now hold on to the door frame when I enter my daughter’s room!

Easy-to-use budget product with a cozy scent
When I worked in a beauty store in the 2000s, I had a colleague who didn’t even take home testers of Gliss because she thought the scents didn’t work. So the first thing I think when I apply the conditioner (which is quite thick but still not as creamy/oily as other "repair" products) is that the scent is... cozy. I think honey, but not "gourmand perfume sophisticated," more like "kids’ shampoo from the time when those had perfume." This thought is refined by my daughter: She is ecstatic and says her hair now smells "like at the hairdresser’s." For 40 SEK (instead of a hairdresser visit with many more zeros...) it’s a bargain! Also, the hair becomes soft without being weighed down, a problem I usually have with "repair" or "for too dry, damaged hair" products. This makes me wonder if the products really suit the target group they are aimed at – I don’t really feel any "deep care"... With just shampoo and conditioner, there isn’t much "shine" either. However, there is "suppleness" (the bottle’s other keyword), so for my needs (and again: budget) it’s definitely acceptable.

Budget favorite with cozy scent
When I worked in a beauty store in the 2000s, I had a colleague who didn’t even take home testers of Gliss because she thought the scents didn’t work. So the first thing I think when I distribute the shampoo (which is quite thin and easy to get into a cleansing foam) is that the scent is... cozy. I think honey, but not "gourmand perfume sophisticated," more like "children’s shampoo from the time when those had perfume." This thought is refined by my daughter: She is ecstatic and says that her hair now smells "like at the hairdresser’s." For 40 SEK (instead of a hairdresser visit with significantly more zeros...) it’s a bargain! Besides, the hair gets clean (yup, I have such high demands on shampoo) and not weighed down, a problem I usually have with "repair" or "for dry, damaged hair" products. This makes me wonder if the products really suit the target group they are aimed at – I don’t really feel any "deep care"... With just shampoo and conditioner, there isn’t much "shine" either. However, "suppleness" (the bottle’s other keyword), so for my needs (and again: budget) it’s definitely approved.

Finally SdJ for me!
You want to like Sol de Janeiro, right...? Unfortunately, no scent has really stuck with me or I with it... Until this green beauty! Love the just-right earthy fig scent, which is still SdJ-sweet. Lasts well for a mist! #lykoreview1 product in post Finally SdJ for me!214 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Childishly fun
"Sorry, but do you smell like bubblegum...?" asked a friend. Yep, I answered, 40+, happy and felt young for a second :-) Keeps the lips nice just long enough for the next dose too #lykoreview1 product in post Childishly fun139 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Stable serum
Doesn't work miracles but feels like it "feeds" the skin nicely. For a serum, it is also unusually rich, so it works well on its own (and gives a nice glow!) #lykoreview1 product in post Stable serum281 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Three for two
I actually didn’t need the moisturizing serum... but it kind of came with the deal. Good stuff that I’ll be coming back to! (A little warning: Balmet is a bit hard to get out of the tube at the end – especially if, like me, you keep it in the shower where the grip gets worse) #lykoreview1 product in post Three for two172 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Worth buying (but not necessary to buy)
Gah! Why am I so weak for "box deals"...? I never use everything...? But this one was still unusually worth buying, with products I could have bought individually (mainly: Hickap, Ordinary. Maria Åkerberg, Inkey List and Geek & Gorgeous) #lykoreview1 product in post Worth buying (but not necessary to buy)159 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Even my husband can stand it!
"I can use this as a regular face cream," said the sensitive-to-the-skin guy. Enough said! :-) #lykoreview1 product in post Even my husband can stand it!940 views - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 3 out of 5
Nice - but too orange - glow
Nice formula and nice glow, but the shade I have is way too orange, both as a highlighter and bronzer. Also a bit too dry for my mature skin if I use a lot (and then I look like Trump ;-))1 product in post Nice - but too orange - glow22 views
