    Great for fine hair that easily gets oily

    The mist is a light oil spray that should work especially well for thin and fine hair, which feels perfect for me. The scent is the classic Moroccanoil, a timeless fragrance that feels luxurious. The glass spray bottle is sturdy to hold, and the spray itself is wide and nice. No ā€œstreamā€ but more like a puff, which I particularly like because it makes it easy to distribute in the hair without getting too much product anywhere. The result: On wet hair, I sprayed generously all over (avoiding the roots), and after I blow-dried, I absolutely feel that my hair is less frizzy. It really feels soft and hydrated without feeling oily or heavy. On dry hair, I have mainly used it on the ends with good results. I sprayed a few times before I braided it for the night, and my hair felt soft and lovely in the morning.

    Perfectly shaped brush šŸ‘ļø

    I belong to the category of ā€œtesting-many-different-mascarasā€ and I have high demands on a mascara's performance, so this is a favorite test for me 🤩 The packaging looks luxurious and at first glance, I am a bit afraid that it will feel clunky in my hand. My fears are confirmed as it is difficult to hold the mascara in a good way to give the small lashes in the corners of my eyes precision without mess. It doesn't smell like anything special. And with double cleansing, I experience no problems getting the mascara off, it leaves no traces. My eyes are a bit sensitive at times, especially when I wear contacts, but I don't find that it flakes or negatively affects my eyes in any way. The brush itself is a curved rubber brush, and I like that. On the first uses, I have to remove a bit of excess product with a tissue, but that’s usually the case when a mascara is newly opened. It’s easy to build up both 1, 2, and 3 layers for the desired effect without it getting clumpy. The brush separates the lashes in a satisfying way. I use an eyelash curler, and I find that the curl holds well with the mascara throughout the day even though it’s not a waterproof mascara. It snowed the other day, and there was unfortunately a bit of panda warning around the eyes, but otherwise, it’s a really good mascara. I will, however, buy the waterproof version instead for extra good durability šŸ’¦ The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Glitter?

    Is this product glittery…? It looks that way through the packaging, so I'm a bit hesitant even though I've heard a lot of good things about it 🩷

      Hey Mariah! 😊 That's correct! This product contains a mineral called Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, which is a shimmering powder made from small glitter particles. It is often used to add sparkle to products but is also used to improve the texture of the product šŸ’« Take care!

    LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF šŸ˜

    It's not often that I feel a perfume is a full hit, but here I just needed to spray one spray on my wrist when I got it home to remind myself to go and sniff myself all eveningā£ļø I've tried Burberry Goddess EDP before and it's also a favorite of mine, but I think this Burberry Goddess Parfum is a step sharper scent-wise. This one feels heavier and I find that the leather scent is more pronounced in this version of the perfume. Vanilla and leather are irresistible to me and it fits incredibly well during the fall/winter. I think it would also suit my son and partner well, but I will hold on tight to it when my full-size arrives, so they can just try🫢

    Summary: Affordable serum with Vitamin C!

    I like the lightweight consistency as it fits my oily skin perfectly. I have used it both alone and under moisturizer, and both work fine for me. The product absorbs quickly into the skin and gives a hydrated and glowy feel on the skin. The dropper makes it easy to dose the right amount, and it feels hygienic. No reaction on my otherwise reactive skin gives extra points. The downside for me is that the packaging is fragile if you happen to drop it in the sink or on the floor.

    One of the better ones.

    I tried the L’OrĆ©al Paris Telescopic Waterproof Mascara over the summer. It has withstood swimming, sweat, and tears on many occasions. A year ago, I tried the regular non-waterproof version and was disappointed as I looked like a panda in no time. Therefore, I had significantly higher expectations for this one since it is waterproof. I have oily eyelids and try several different new mascaras every month without being a test pilot 🤪, so I know quite well what I’m looking for and what I like/don’t like. It doesn’t smell like anything special, which is positive. The consistency is quite thin, but despite that, it’s hard to apply more than one coat without it getting clumpy and spidery. If you like having lashes like spider legs, then it’s the ultimate mascara šŸ•·ļø. I don’t quite agree with the brush, I prefer a ā€œregularā€ brush over this ā€œrubber combā€. āž• It flakes and doesn’t transfer too much onto the eyelids despite external stress. āž• The price feels okay, often available with a discount. āž• The scent, many mascaras can smell bad, I think. āž– I wish it held even better during the day. Because when you try to wash it off, it sits like a ROCK and is almost impossible to remove despite various cleansers that are supposed to take off waterproof makeup… The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Finally! Package from the super sale 🤩

    Today I finally picked up my two packages from the sale a few weeks ago. Some newcomers and some old favorites were clicked home.

    Best!

    Better than this, it doesn't get. I have many different brands of nail polish, but if I'm going to buy a new one, I often go for Opi. It's a safe bet, and I'm not disappointed, either with the colors or the durability. Two coats and then Seche Vite as a top coat, and it lasts a few days. In the picture, I've had it on for 5 days and will take it off for a new round. But there's not much wear at the edges, mostly just cracked, like. āž•Affordable. I often buy when there's some kind of discount. āž•Durable. Anything over 3 days without wear feels good. āž•Covers well with two coats. āž–I don't really like the brush as I think it's a bit too long, so it's hard to be precise. #lykoreview

    Mild and Gentle

    I have a flaky scalp, especially during the seasonal changes. It gets itchy and I flake. Not real dandruff, but more dry and irritated. It's the same now in summer with sun and swimming. I've bought this shampoo several times and it is mild and gentle on both hair and scalp. I don't experience any miracles with the shampoo, but it keeps my scalp in check. The consistency is very runny, so you have to be quick to spread it in your hair, otherwise it runs between your fingers quickly. Perfect that there is also a smaller size so you can take it to the gym or on vacation. āž•Travel size, the mild scent that doesn't trigger my migraine, and that my hair becomes soft after use. āž–I wish for a slightly thicker consistency when I shampoo my mid-length hair. #lykoreview

    Featherlight Sunscreen

    I have reactive skin that tends to get a bit shiny and oily after a while. This makes me very picky about sunscreen since most slide around and end up in my eyes after a while. I try new sunscreens every summer in the hunt for the ultimate favorite. Heliocare is on the top list of favorites, and this one is no exception on that front. It is very light in consistency and slightly tinted, which feels spontaneously like a bullseye upon application. But unfortunately, it settles into my pores and eyebrows despite diligent rubbing. It protected me well one day at the beach because I didn’t get burned. But I continue my sunscreen hunt with other favorites from the brand and keep trying. āž• The light consistency, the subtle scent, and how well it protected my face. āž– The price and that it settled into pores/eyebrows/around the nose. #lykoreview
