Really extends the makeup!
💋I have as #lykoinflutester tested the Plump Right Back Primer + Serum from #nyxprofessionalmakeup!💋 I experience it more as a moisturizing skincare product than a classic primer. The consistency is gel-like, cool, and completely without a silicone feel. It is easy to apply and sinks quickly into the skin without leaving any film. The primer provides a lot of moisture and a nice glow, and the skin feels soft and hydrated after application. It is fragrance-free, which is a big plus for me. My skin is combination and dry in the T-zone with larger pores and some fine lines. Unfortunately, I did not experience any clear plump effect on my fine lines, even though the product is marketed as plumping. However, the skin generally looked more even and hydrated, and the base laid nicely on top. I also feel that the area under the eyes looked somewhat softer when I used powder on top of this primer. The primer has worked well with both silicone-based foundation and other cream products, and I have not had any issues with the makeup separating or coming off. My skin can easily get oily in the T-zone, but this really keeps the oil in check! I feel matte significantly longer than with other primers I have tried. So check on durability! The makeup looks almost untouched despite a whole workday and without touch-ups. In summary, this is a nice primer for you if you don't like the feeling of makeup or silicone on your skin and want a lot of moisture and glow. For me personally, it doesn't quite live up to its plump promise, but if you have oily skin, it is definitely worth a try if you also have issues with your makeup not holding or separating. I am glad to have tested it, and can say that it is absolutely worth the price!1 product in post Really extends the makeup!117 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Long lashes and easy to remove!
👁️I have as #lykoinflutester tested this mascara from #maybelline! 👁️ Sky High is a mascara that I really think delivers, especially if you're looking for length and separation rather than extreme volume. The brush is slim and very flexible, which makes application easy and allows you to reach even the shortest lashes. Already with the first layer, I get noticeably longer lashes, and the result looks very even and separated. It's easy to build up with more layers without the lashes clumping or feeling heavy, which I appreciate. The lashes maintain their shape and still look defined even after several layers. The mascara doesn't give that really dramatic volume, but the lashes look long, well-combed, and pretty, which makes it very suitable for everyday use or if you have short/stubby lashes. The durability is very good. It stays nice throughout the day without flaking significantly and without leaving marks under the eyes, despite my watery eyes and oily eyelids. The lashes don't feel stiff, but remain soft and light even after many hours. It's also extremely easy to wash off with warm water and a mild cleanser! The mascara contains no strong perfume, which has been great for me with sensitive eyes. And as mentioned earlier, the lashes are very soft and flexible even after the mascara has dried, so I never feel discomfort. A very reliable mascara that does what it’s supposed to do, and one of the best lengthening mascaras I’ve tested in this price range. Next time, I’m tempted to try the same mascara in one of the other beautiful colors that Maybelline offers!1 product in post Long lashes and easy to remove!177 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Moisturizing AND Deep Cleansing
🍾I have had the honor of trying this shampoo from #lykoinflutester as #k18!🍾 A super lovely shampoo that is really economical, you don't need much to get really clean and healthy hair. I noticed right from the first time that my hair became much lighter and softer, and that product residues were lifted away. Clarifying shampoos can sometimes dry out my scalp if I use them too often, but I haven't experienced that at all with this one! I double shampoo as usual and am just as shocked every time at how well it lathers and how little shampoo you need. The shampoo has a slightly spooky dark color and doesn't smell particularly strong, but leaves the hair soft and moisturized, and really prepares the hair for a really good hair mask, glossing, or K18 mask! It feels like treatments applied after using this shampoo are better utilized by the hair. I can even brush my hair gently without conditioner, and the hair is easy to detangle, and after styling, the hair is filled with shine. This is simply one of the best and gentlest clarifying shampoos I have tried! 💖 Together with the K18 mask, it is an unbeatable combo and absolutely a product I will continue to buy. 💖1 product in post Moisturizing AND Deep Cleansing1172 views- The comment was made 1 monthWhat conditioner are you using?

Nice mist
💦 I have as #lykoinflutester tried this setting spray from #fentybeauty! 💦 I have mixed feelings about this spray. What is good is that I really like the very fine mist, that it is fragrance-free, and I think my makeup holds a bit better with it. What I thought was less good is that I didn't really experience the makeup ”melting together” like with other wet setting sprays I've tried. When I spray it, my skin, as mentioned, becomes very wet but dries so that it almost feels ”dry,” even though you get glow in the moment. I don't feel like my setting powder, for example, melts in, but it still looks dry. On the other hand, I feel that my skin becomes less shiny throughout the day. In the video, I haven't used anything to refresh my base during the day, and it still looks nice despite a combination skin type! 💜 What I would have wished from this spray is that it melted my base together better, so that powder products ”disappear” into the cream products, and that the skin becomes more glowy in a natural and hydrated way, rather than the base looking more powdery. It is probably very good for you with very oily skin!💜1 product in post Nice mist - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
So beautiful!
💋I have as #lykoinflutester tested this lovely lip gloss from #fentybeauty in the color Fu$$y! 💋 This is a really nice and especially lovely lip gloss in a transparent dusty rose color with very fine silver glitter in it. On the lips, it doesn't look glittery, but just very glossy. The gloss is not sticky at all, but feels really nice and moisturizing on the lips. So the lips don't get flaky like they can with other lip products, so it acts like a lip balm + lip gloss in one! This color works really well to wear alone on the lips as a ”clear gloss” since the color is very transparent, or even better together with your favorite lip liner. In the video, I used Mac's ”Stripdown”. For a lip gloss, I think the longevity is really good, I can eat or drink but still feel a layer on my lips instead of them feeling super dry. But you definitely have to reapply throughout the day like with most lip products. It has a very subtle and pleasant taste. 💄I will definitely buy more colors of this lip gloss!💄1 product in post So beautiful!1193 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Feels like skincare!
💜 I have as #lykoinflutester gotten to try this gem from #fentybeauty! 💜 My first impression of this primer was that it felt like a gel-moisturizer, not at all silicone-y, and gave so much glow to the skin. It feels cool and nice to apply on the skin, and really feels like skincare rather than a primer. It is NOT sticky but really sinks into the skin! Perfect if you don't like the feeling of makeup and want a glowy base The primer has no scent which is a big plus. My skin is combination with larger pores in the t-zone and fine lines on my forehead. Unfortunately, I didn't experience my fine lines being plumped, but I did feel that my base generally became more even and maybe held better. The primer has worked well with silicone-based foundation and other silicone-based cream products. I have also noticed that my lines under the eyes become less prominent after using powder there with this, which is still good! Overall, I absolutely think my makeup holds well throughout the day, but not better than other drugstore primers I've tried. I probably wouldn't buy this again, but my makeup generally already holds very well as it is. I wish it was more plumping as it claims. ✨This primer is for you if you don't like the feeling of product and want your primer to sink in like a gel, want a lot of glow in your base, a fragrance-free product, and a smoother skin! ✨1 product in post Feels like skincare!276 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Wow, so surprised!
I have as #lykoinflutester tried this moisturizer from #mamonde! My skin is combination, dry on the surface with larger pores in the t-zone. I also have fine lines as a 26-year-old. I am actually surprised by this product. I have used it daily for three weeks and honestly, I didn’t think it moisturized particularly well. Despite using a hydrating serum underneath, my skin felt tight, and eventually, I had to apply a thicker cream on top to make it through. I also didn’t feel that my pores got smaller or were "filled from the inside" as the description says. BUT – the result on my fine lines has impressed! I have never tried bakuchiol before and had no high expectations, but after seeing the pictures, I am in shock. There has absolutely not been a miracle, but my lines on my forehead and glabella have smoothed out a bit, and in just three weeks. My skin looks more plump! However, I see no difference in my pores. But keep in mind that the before picture was taken right after washing, the after picture was taken in the morning before washing, so this is the result after it has had time to work overnight. Positively, I also have not experienced any irritation at all, even though the cream apparently contains both bakuchiol and retinol. I don’t think it works well as a moisturizing cream, but as an active serum for fine lines, it really delivers. It’s just a shame that it’s not rich enough for my dry skin. I give this cream 4/5 in rating, minus for the lack of hydration and no results on my pores. But! Big plus for really nice results on the lines!1 product in post Wow, so surprised!333 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 monthsRating: 1 out of 5
Did not work for me!
I have as #lykoinflutester tested this product from #mamonde! I have combination but dry skin. When I saw that this contained 10% PHA, I first thought it could be a milder active product, but the recommendation to apply it both morning and night was way too much for me. I tried to follow the instructions anyway, but my skin barrier got seriously damaged, which you can see in the picture. After a week of intensive barrier care, I dared to test it again. During the day, it made me very oily, so much that my makeup separated in the T-zone, something I never experience otherwise. Usually, I have glow in my skin, so I was disappointed when it went overboard. When I instead used it in the evening, about every third night, my skin still felt over-exfoliated, dry, and tight two days later, even though my skin is usually not particularly sensitive. I want to add that I tested this simultaneously with two other active products from Mamonde during the same testing period (two products from Mamonde on behalf of Lyko), which may have intensified the effect, even though I tried to space out the usage. The final rating is unfortunately 1/5. I found this to be anything but mild. Test it first 2/3 times a week and work your way up, even if you are used to acid users.1 product in post Did not work for me!1058 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Buttery!
I have as #lykoinflutester tested this cleansing balm from #mamonde. Please note that the product in the video is in travel size. I have combination and dry skin with sebaceous filaments mainly on my nose and also get blackheads now and then. I therefore hoped that this cleansing balm would cleanse the pores deeply, but unfortunately, I did not get that result. The product is marketed as mint-scented and I expected a fresh, tingling feeling but the scent was very mild and without that refreshing sensation. However, the consistency was wonderful and felt like butter, and it was really nice to massage into the skin. When it comes to makeup, it is unfortunately weak. It doesn't handle my mascara particularly well, so if I've worn makeup, I have to be extra careful when I follow up with my water-based cleanser. Therefore, I have mainly used it in the morning or when I haven't worn makeup, and then it works very well. I actually skip using a cleanser afterwards, and it leaves a light film after washing that feels soft and moisturizing. The skin does not feel tight at all like it usually does after cleansing, but rather pleasantly hydrated. The skin during the day feels more balanced and "glows". Probably due to the AHA/PHA acids in the product. Therefore, I am very careful to use SPF. But despite containing acids, I have used it almost every day without irritation! In summary, I give it 3/5. It did not deliver on deep pore cleansing, which was my biggest hope, but I really appreciated the feeling and hydration when I used it as a simple cleanser without makeup. I could actually see myself buying it again just for that feeling.1 product in post Buttery! - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 5 monthsRating: 2 out of 5
No coverage at all!
I had the opportunity to test this tinted SPF as [hashtag], and I must say that I am unfortunately disappointed. The product itself is very runny, but it absolutely does not feel sticky and leaves a nice, slightly velvety/glowy finish when it dries down. I also really like the packaging, it’s cute and travel-friendly. But… I honestly don’t really understand the point of this product. It provides no coverage whatsoever. I have attached a video where I applied it over pigment spots that have darkened in the sun, and it literally looks like I haven’t applied anything at all (as far as coverage goes). I was expecting a light (sheer) coverage, but this is more like zero coverage and it couldn’t be built up. So I might as well use a regular sunscreen, and then I prefer SPF 50 over 30, especially when the product doesn’t contribute any cosmetic improvement. I chose the shade MP200, and it did blend in perfectly both when I was pale before the vacation and now when I am sunburned, but that’s probably more because it barely leaves any tint on the skin. I would have recommended the shade MP200 to someone with a warm/neutral, light/medium skin tone. Like me! The wear time is okay, but I, who have combination skin, became quite oily from it pretty quickly. However, the skin looked and felt hydrated, which was a plus. It worked well under makeup, but now during the summer I wear quite little makeup, so that might not say much. I much prefer Beauty of Joseon’s regular SPF. It has a higher protection, and I can use a light foundation or concealer over it. I would still have needed to apply something over this if I wanted coverage. I give it a rating of 2 out of 5. Mostly because the packaging is nice and my skin gets glowy – but I won’t buy it again. I really wish it had at least a little coverage, otherwise it’s just a runny SPF 30.
