    MOISTURE BOMB AND SPF IN ONE 💌

    While I have tested the #cerave Sun Stick SPF50 and Hydrating Fluid Sunscreen SPF50 (see my profile for review and rating), I have had the honor to try this body sunscreen with SPF 30! And what do I think as a #lykoinflutester about the product? NOTE! I have only used the product on my body during the test period. 🧴MY SKIN TYPE I have incredibly dry skin on my body, and if I skip moisturizing, it starts to itch immediately. I get extra dry after a day at the beach/day in the sun, probably because the sun dries out the skin even more. 🧴FEELING My gosh, what a lovely SPF! It moisturizes to the MAX without being sticky. Feels like a really moisturizing light body lotion. My skin has loved this sunscreen and "soaks" it up like a sponge! Absolutely leaves no sticky or greasy feeling at all. 🧴USAGE I have applied the sunscreen according to the recommended amount, even took a little extra product, and still it hasn't felt too much! Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to use it for a full day at the beach yet. 🧴SCENT Smells very little and has a mild scent of classic SPF. 🧴RESULT My dry body has loved this sunscreen as a body lotion, incredibly moisturizing and absorbs immediately after application. Leaves a beautiful glow that makes the skin look alive again! Moisturizes throughout the day and leaves no stains on clothes as far as I've noticed so far. Will definitely continue to use it on my body! PLUS + PERFECT for my dry body. + Feel moisturized all day. + Has so far left no stains on clothes. + Absorbs very quickly. + Non-sticky! + Extra plus because it's child-friendly. MINUS - I can't find any negatives with this product, I've found new sunscreen favorites!

    MY NEW FAVORITE 💌

    As a #lykoinflutester, I have also had the chance to try #cerave's new facial sunscreen with SPF 50 and moisturizing properties. 🧴MY SKIN TYPE My skin tends to react when using sunscreen on my face. Usually, by the same evening, I have at least one new pimple when I've used SPF, especially sunscreens that clog the skin. 🧴FEELING Just as the name suggests, ‘Invisible Hydrating Fluid Sunscreen’ provides hydration. I even skip my day cream on the days I use this sunscreen because it moisturizes my skin enough! It absorbs surprisingly well into the skin and leaves absolutely no greasy feeling. 🧴USAGE I have used it in the recommended amount to provide sufficient sun protection, and so far, I am very positively surprised! I have used the sunscreen instead of my day cream because I feel it moisturizes my skin enough. 🧴SCENT Has a very mild scent of the classic sunscreen smell. In my opinion, positive and always reminds me of summer! 🧴RESULT Incredible sunscreen that does what it’s supposed to. Very light, pleasant, and perfect for those of us who easily get pimples. And just like the #cerave Sun Stick, this one didn’t give me any new pimples either. If you’re afraid of getting oily skin, give this a chance! Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to use the sunscreen at the beach yet, but I’m sure it will do its job there as well. New favorite! PLUS + Light SPF that absorbs quickly. + Leaves a moisturizing feeling without becoming greasy. + Does not clog my skin. + Nice small bottle that’s easy to bring along! + I don’t need a day cream with this. MINUS - I can’t find any negatives with this product! 😫😍

    CONVENIENT FOR REAPPLICATION 💌

    As a #lykoinflutester, I’ve had the honor to try #cerave’s new sun protection products. First up for review is this fantastic sun stick with SPF 50! 🧴MY SKIN TYPE My skin tends to react when using sunscreen on my face. Usually by the same evening, I have at least one new pimple when I’ve used SPF, especially sunscreens that clog the skin. 🧴FEEL The texture of the stick is probably what I love most about the product; it barely feels on the skin! It lays like a “veil” without any greasy feeling. I often find sunscreens leave a sticky layer, but with the stick, it feels like “velvet.” 🧴USAGE Perfect for the area around the eyes, lips, and upper lip when it’s time for SPF reapplication! However, you need to use quite a bit of product for full effect, which is harder with a stick, so that’s why I find it wonderful for reapplication! 🧴SCENT Doesn’t smell particularly special but still has a slightly musty undertone. I can’t describe the scent exactly – almost as if the product has gone rancid. However, it doesn’t bother me during the day. 🧴RESULT Unfortunately, I haven’t used the product while sunbathing and therefore don’t know how the protection is. BUT it’s fantastic for “city” use. The stick hasn’t given me a single pimple so far, maybe because I mainly use it around my lips and eyes! Otherwise, it’s an SPF I will definitely continue using throughout the summer. PLUS + Incredibly easy application! + Nice velvety feeling. + Doesn’t cause breakouts. + Leaves no greasy layer like SPF usually does. + Perfect for the area around eyes and lips! MINUS - Slightly musty scent, almost a bit “rancid.”

    THE NAME MATCHES THE RESULT 💌

    Here we are talking about defined and flirty long lashes! I received the #maxfactor Long Lash Era mascara in collaboration with my #lykoinflutester project. A mascara that gives each lash maximum length! ☁️ MY LASHES I have always had long lashes naturally and don’t really need to add much length to my lashes. I usually prefer a makeup look without any mascara at all, but when I use mascara, I almost always choose a lengthening mascara (which usually clumps less) that gives a natural result. However, my lashes lack fullness and always "lay down" with a classic mascara, the lashes become too heavy. ☁️ RESULT Wow! This is the best mascara I have tested so far. The brush catches every lash thanks to the rubber brush with small short "spikes". The brush helps to comb out the lashes, which means it doesn’t leave any clumps behind! Long Lash Era is not too heavy for my lashes, and I can even build layer upon layer without the lashes laying down at once or throughout the day. I like the minimal bend of the brush that follows the natural shape of the eye, easy to apply. I will definitely continue to use this mascara, both for everyday and special occasions! Incredibly easy to wash off with warm water 💌 ☁️ PLUS  Defines every lash thanks to the rubber brush.  The minimally curved brush follows the natural shape of the eye.  The brush catches every lash.  Easily washes off with warm water.  Gives incredible length!! So far, I haven’t found anything negative about the mascara. It’s my favorite mascara if I want a budget option! Reminds me of Lancome Lash Idle, they give me the same result. #maxfactor #lykoinflutester

    GREAT RESULT AND COLOR - Disappears quickly.

    My latest project as #lykoinflutester has been to try these Self-Tan Drops for body and face from #drgreve. 🧴 MY SKIN TYPE/SKIN TONE SKIN TYPE: I have normal/dry skin type and both my skin and I absolutely adore moisturizing products. After self-tanner, my skin can become extremely dry in the days after, and that’s why I have liked these drops much more than a classic self-tanner product since they easily mix into my day/night cream. I find them less drying. Usually, I don’t self-tan my face because I get extremely easily breakouts from self-tanner. SKIN TONE: I have a warm undertone with a lot of "green" tones, so-called olive-toned undertone. Many self-tanner products can turn out very yellow/orange on my skin tone, so I try to be careful about what result I get. 🧴 SCENT Best scent so far on a self-tanner product! I can hardly smell any self-tanner scent at all. It really doesn’t smell like the classic Self-Tan products. 🧴 RESULT I mixed 5 drops into my moisturizing cream for the face before bed and woke up with a glow and fresh sun-kissed skin. The more drops, the more color difference! Gives a slightly warmer shade, but I, who have warm/green in undertone, don’t think the product has been too warm. Disappears quickly, but leaves no patchy result! I can imagine that the product fades quickly since I wash my face at least once a day AND use exfoliation sometimes. As I said, I easily get breakouts from self-tanner on my face, and unfortunately, these drops give the same result. Other than that, this is a fantastic budget product that more people should try, maybe it suits someone else better who doesn’t react with acne. 🧴 PLUS + Good pipette. + Easy to dose and apply. + Not the classic "self-tanner scent". + Gives an even and natural result. + Deepens my sun-kissed tan. + Sleek packaging and "bottle". 🧴 MINUS - Disappears quickly. - My skin reacts as usual with breakouts. #lykoinflutester #drgreve

    BUDGET-FRIENDLY BUS 💌

    My latest project as #lykoinflutester was this Self-Tan Lotion from #drgreve. If you want to know what I think about Dr. Greve’s Self-Tan Drops for face and body, you can click through my profile! Unfortunately, the cap broke the very first time I used the product, which means I can't close the cap completely now. This unfortunately brings my rating down by one star. 🧴 MY SKIN TYPE/SKIN TONE SKIN TYPE: I am mostly dry on my body and require quite a few moisturizing products at least 2 times a day. Almost all self-tanner products I have tested leave a darker result on knuckles and feet due to dryness. Usually, it’s not even enough to prep the skin before self-tanning, just because I am so incredibly dry there. SKIN TONE: I have a warm undertone with a lot of “green” tones, so-called olive undertone. Many self-tanner products can turn out very yellow/orange on my skin tone, so I try to be careful about what result I get. 🧴 SCENT Best scent so far on a self-tanner product! I can hardly smell any self-tanner scent at all. It really doesn’t smell like the classic self-tanner products. 🧴 RESULT Easy to work in with both self-tanner mitt and with hands. However, the mitt absorbs too much product, which in the long run will be wasteful. So far, it has not left a single streak on my body, even though the product is colorless upon application. Perfect product for us who are dry! Leaves not a single color difference on either feet or hands, even though I did NOT prep with moisture beforehand. Never happened before! My hands and feet usually always give me a color difference due to dryness. But not with this lotion! Totally fantastic. I feel moisturized after application, and the product dries in surprisingly quickly. The product gives 1-2 shades darker skin tone and is therefore great for those who don’t want an extreme result. Right now, I already have a sun-kissed skin, and this Self-Tan Lotion deepens my color and evens out my skin tone all over my body, it doesn’t make me much tanner, but I feel much fresher! If someone wants a more pronounced result, it can be applied twice instead of once. The color fades gradually and leaves no spots all over the body. 🧴 PLUS + Perfect for us dry folks! + Leaves no color difference on dry areas. + Zero “self-tanner scent.” + Easy to work in. + Gives a natural result. + Dries quickly and leaves a moisturizing feel. + Deepens my sun-kissed summer skin. 🧴 MINUS - Already at the first use, the cap of the product broke. It’s not possible to close the product, unfortunately, this brings my rating down. - I felt that I needed to use more product than with self-tanner mousse. #lykoinflutester #drgreve

    ”ROUND”, FRUITY AND SWEET SCENT 💌

    I received a fragrance sample of the new Ella Ella. Huge thanks for the trust #cacharel! The vanilla in this perfume really makes the whole scent. It becomes a balancing ”round” on the skin, without the sweetness taking over too much. Besides the calm ”round” in the scent, a fruity sweet scent dominates that is incredibly pleasant. The sweetness marries perfectly with the vanilla, and together they create a harmony. I can't smell much coconut in the perfume, which for me is a positive since I'm not a big fan of coconut scents! Surprisingly lasts long on the skin, and it’s not a scent that needs to be reapplied during the day. It really holds for 12 hours! Perfect for all ages since it has the sweetness in it but also the ”round” balancing that makes the scent more ”mature”. Absolutely does not become that sticky sweet that coconut and vanilla notes can often become. Top rating ⭐️

      Hey Sandra! 🩷 We currently have no test products available, if we had samples to send out, I would have of course arranged that for you! A great tip is to check out a physical store where you can test the products, feel, smell, and try before you decide! Another tip is to read reviews from other customers. Many of our products have really good and detailed reviews that can help you get a better understanding of how the product is! 👌😍 All the best 🌸

    COMPACT AND POWERFUL 💌

    As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I have had the honor of evaluating the compact yet so powerful Nano Hair Dryer from #BJÖRNAXEN #OBHNORDICA. Huge thanks for the trust! 💌 During the testing period, I tried blow-drying my hair with both a round brush (for more volume) and with a paddle brush for a more ”even” and straight result. ☁️ MY HAIR QUALITY I have typically Scandinavian hair. Thin, fine hair strands, but extremely many hair strands which makes my hair thick. My hair is usually straight, but also has a natural wave if the hair is air-dried with a lot of moisture and caring products in it. My hair tends to tangle, which contributes to small knots at the end of the day, so I prefer hair care with moisture and a result that doesn’t ”weigh down” my hair due to my thin fine strands. ☁️ APPEARANCE, SIZE, AND FEATURES This hair dryer is top-notch in terms of appearance! This dryer screams luxury, professional, compact, and convenience. The dryer is matte black with silver details that stand out even more against the matte black. Incredibly elegant! Besides the sleek appearance, the hair dryer feels sturdy in the hand throughout the styling process. I find it easy to work with due to its lightweight and handy size. There are three different settings on the dryer, I have so far used the ”medium” strength ll, and my hair has dried very quickly! For those who desire a more lasting result, there is also a cool air function to set the hairstyle. An extra big plus for a relatively quiet dryer, I have never tested such an effective yet quiet hair dryer before. ☁️ RESULT When styling with a round brush, this dryer is to die for! It is easy to angle, twist, etc. during the process. I get beautiful natural volume in my otherwise flat hair that lasts almost a whole day. When drying with a paddle brush, the hair dryer has given me a relatively frizz-free result, and this has also lasted all day. I am positively surprised by such a compact hair dryer, I will definitely use this instead of my large hair dryer, which I find cumbersome when styling compared to this one. ☁️ PROS + Extra big plus for the compact size. + Fast drying time. + Cool air function that sets the hairstyle. + Natural volume with round brush + hair dryer. + Relatively ”quiet” for a hair dryer. + Sturdy and light in the hand. + Good nozzles that fit perfectly for styling with paddle brush or round brush. + Incredibly luxurious appearance! #BJÖRNAXEN #OBHNORDICA
