Magic in a bottle!
As a #lykoinflutester, I got to test shampoo, conditioner, and pre-wash from #goldwell When you get to test a series, it’s always hard to separate the reviews when it comes to the results, but it’s easier when it comes to how the individual products feel and behave. For those who don’t want to read a whole novel, I just want to say RUN AND BUY 🥰. But to talk about the series as a whole, the best description would honestly be magic in a bottle. My hair is a complete disaster; it’s colored and bleached all the time because I change hair color several times a year. Usually, I have drastic colors like orange, blue, green, pink, etc., which requires quite a bit of bleaching beforehand to get a good result. Right now, I’m taking a little break from abusing my hair, the first in several years, but all those years of bleaching have left their marks. The hair is dry, fragile, breaks easily, and tangles just as easily. After testing the series for a while, there’s a noticeable difference! I’ve experienced that the hair still breaks just as much, but when I look back at the pictures, I see an incredible lift in the quality of the hair. Not least the ends, which were split and thin to a shameful degree. Now the hair looks healthier and is easier to control. Usually, I’m a big fan of both hair oil and leave-in conditioner, but for the sake of fairness, I refrained from using them during the test period to really highlight just these products’ results, and honestly, I felt quite quickly that the need for them decreased. The hair detangled without the leave-in conditioner and didn’t feel as dry without the oil, although a little splash probably would have done it good 😅. But about the conditioner! I can’t quite put my finger on the scent; it’s not scentless but doesn’t smell very strong either. A plus for those who prefer mild scents, though I like to smell like citrus, flowers, or coconut right after I get out of the shower. The bottle’s design is a bit boring aesthetically, but it gets points for being easy to open and easy to get the product out of. I have a functional impairment in my hands, among other things, which makes it very difficult for me to open certain types of caps, sometimes not at all, and sometimes without my body screaming ouch 🥹. Being able to press the cap down with a knuckle instead has been gold! Product-wise, the conditioner has a nice formula; it feels immediately in the shower like the hair is re-moisturized and detangled just by rinsing it. The hair is easy to manage both when it’s still wet and when it’s dry. The hair really feels silky after the shower, and in the long run, it feels much healthier. I won’t completely change my current routine, but I will definitely buy again to use as a treatment and alternate with my usual routine to keep my hair in top condition 😍.

Being able to press the cap down with a knuckle instead has been gold! Product-wise, a little goes a long way. I'm a heavy user and reduced the amount every time I used it because it was so easy to work into the hair and lather well. For that reason, I feel the price is reasonable because the bottle will last loooong! The hair feels clean and fresh after the shower, and in the long run, it feels much healthier. I won't completely change my current routine, but I will definitely buy again to use as a treatment and alternate with my usual routine to keep my hair in top condition 😍.

Magic in a tube, but expensive

The hair detangled without the leave-in conditioner, and it didn't feel as dry without the oil, although a little splash probably would have done it good 😅. But how was the pre-wash? I can't quite put my finger on the scent; it's not scentless but doesn't smell very strong either. A plus for those who prefer mild scents, though I like to smell like citrus, flowers, or coconut right after I get out of the shower. The bottle design is a bit boring aesthetically, and I would have liked to see it in a larger package. Product-wise, I felt the hair absorbed the product immediately, and it required a lot; whether that's because my hair is so damaged, I can't say as I don't know. It can be applied to both wet and dry hair; I preferred dry because I could immediately tell where I had applied the product, and it also fits my lifestyle better to put it in before I go into the shower. Then I can let it work while I get ready for the shower. When I applied it to wet hair, it was harder to tell where I had already put the pre-wash, and I wasn't quite sure what to do during the processing time. A shower has its specific steps in a set order! Or is it just me who feels that way? 😂 In the long run, the hair feels much healthier and stronger, but it's hard to say if just the rest of the series would have been enough or not. Price-wise, I'm a bit hesitant about the pre-wash compared to the rest of the series. It's a lot of money for a small amount of product, and I felt I needed to use a lot of product each time.

As a #influtester, I got to test the purifying series from #aco. I used the combination of booster serum, day cream, and night cream over a period. I have combination skin with both dry and oily areas and often get pimples even though I’m 36 years old, but I choose to think of them as teenage pimples 😉 I don’t have sensitive skin by definition, but I’m under investigation for MCAS as my skin can flare up unprovoked. This tends to happen when I change my skincare routine, but to my great joy, I didn’t react at all when testing this series! 🎉 First impression is that it’s a very sleek series with nice packaging. The fact that it’s fragrance-free is a plus since it also suits sensitive noses, so to speak. It would have gotten an even higher rating if the night cream had a pump bottle! But the cap is still easy to screw off and on. A little goes a long way, and that’s common for the whole series; you don’t need much product to spread it over the entire face. Unlike the rest of the series, I unfortunately felt that the night cream left a greasy layer on the skin. Granted, it’s good that it’s a bit richer if, like me, you toss and turn like a helicopter in bed 🙈, so the skin feels moisturized when you wake up. However, it still feels greasy even after the whole night, and I would have preferred to feel only moisturized without the greasy feeling in the morning, so to speak. It’s hard to separate the reviews when it comes to results since I used the series in combination. But what I noticed was that I initially got worse with more pimples, which I think is a completely normal reaction from the skin regardless of when you change your skincare routine. But it settled down after a while and went back to normal. Unfortunately, it’s normal for me to have some pimples, so it neither got better nor worse compared to before. Price-wise, I would say it’s a very good price for the amount you get. Will I switch my routine to this? Doubtful, since I didn’t get better results than my usual routine gives me, but I will use up all the products. For those looking for a new routine, I definitely think it’s worth trying and would recommend it. The double picture is before changing the skincare routine and a few days in. The single picture is after some time of use.

That it is fragrance-free is a plus since it also suits sensitive noses, so to speak. The serum itself gets a slightly higher score because it has a handy pump bottle and I find it very nice not having to screw caps on and off. It also dispenses a good amount when you pump out the serum. A little goes a long way and that applies to the whole series; it doesn’t take much product to work it over the entire face. The serum is absorbed smoothly by the skin and doesn’t leave any strange residue or anything like that. It’s hard to separate the reviews when it comes to results since I used the series in combination. But what I noticed was that I first got worse with more pimples, which I think is a completely normal reaction from the skin regardless of when you change your skincare routine.

Pure magic!
As a #LYKOINFLUTESTER, I got to try this invisible+ patch from #HERO. I’ve been a big fan of acne patches for a while and recently have become a frequent user, testing several different brands. This one is definitely a top 3, I must say. Easy to apply, stays on well, and lasts all day even in sweaty heat waves 🥵👌. However, I’ve been plagued by pimples this summer that never really reach a mature stage, and unfortunately, these patches are pretty ineffective then. I’ve still used them, and they work well as a barrier to avoid picking and irritating more. This invisible variant also made the pimples less noticeable and hid them quite a bit. That said, I’ve had some that actually turned yellow, and that’s the stage when, according to the manufacturer, you should use these. They work great then! The patches really draw out the impurities once you get to that point, and afterwards a large part of the redness is gone too. This variant is truly invisible compared to the original patch, but otherwise, I’d say the products are equal in quality. I also think the price is reasonable, so I will definitely buy again. Picture 1 before and after patch on a mature pimple. Picture 2 both during use of the invisible patch! You can see it a bit clearer in the circled picture, but I promise the patch is on the upper one! 🤩

This one is definitely a top 3, I must say. Easy to apply, stays on well, and doesn’t come off even if you’re a helicopter in bed when you sleep, and it does its job.

The patches really draw out the impurities when you get to that point, and afterwards a large part of the redness is also gone. Feel free to check out my review of the invisible variant for clearer pictures after having one on a yellow pimple. This variant is a bit more visible than the invisible kind, but otherwise, I would say the products are equal in quality. I also think the price is reasonable, so I will definitely buy again.

Not for me
I have, as #lykoinflutester, had the chance to try this nose patch from #hero. Unfortunately, it was not a hit for me, I have to say, and I will not buy it again. It might be that I am simply incompetent when it comes to application, but I found it very difficult to get it on properly. Every time I tried to remove the patch from the protective plastic, I managed to fold it at one end. So all applications ended with it being folded at least on one side. It wrinkled on my nose and also got stuck on my piercings (which of course is to be expected when you have your nose full of stuff 😅), but the combination of it being folded, wrinkled skin, and getting stuck on my jewelry became a sensory nightmare and I had to get up in the middle of the night to take off the patch to be able to sleep. At that point, the next nightmare began, you could say, "comes off gently" is not really something I can stand behind. It felt like I was tearing off my own skin at the same time 😱. I have tried both pulling quickly, prying slowly, and tried pulling on the side of the patch to "stretch" it off instead. Nothing gave a better result and the skin burned afterwards. This was simply not for me and I couldn't manage to test all the patches because it just hurt. Did it do what it was supposed to? Hard to say, I couldn't let them stay on as long as they should and the skin hurt so much after removal that I didn't even think about checking if the pores were smaller, unfortunately.

Raspberry
As an influencer tester, I got to try products from Lumene, which happens to be one of my go-to brands already, so the excitement was total! My first impression was that the Lip Glow Oil Balm in the shade raspberry comes in a sleek packaging in the perfect size to carry in your bag if you want to touch up on the go. It’s easy to get just the right amount out with the applicator, and the design feels like it allows you to get the last drops out as well. Besides the beautiful design, it smells heavenly and tastes just as good, basically like a little dessert treat on your lips! The lips feel moisturized and soft for a long time, and the lip oil gives a nice subtle tint on the lips that lasts even longer. Even after eating and drinking all day, I felt there was a hint of color left on the lips, even though the gloss had of course disappeared. It feels like a perfect description that it shines like a gloss and moisturizes like a lip balm. I have nothing to complain about and will definitely try other shades as well. A real winner at my place, and I can’t think of a single negative aspect, or well, maybe that it’s hard not to lick your lips when it tastes like you have a bag of Saturday candy on you 🍭 #lykoinflutester #lumene
