Natural Glow!
✨ I have as #lykoinflutester tested the Futurist Blushmaker from #esteelauder in the shade Across The Dancefloor! ✨ The first thing I reacted to was actually the color. Based on the pictures, I had expected a more muted, slightly subdued mauve, but in reality, it is significantly more vibrant and almost leaning towards coral for me. It is absolutely a nice color, but not quite what I had imagined. The formula, however, is very nice. It feels silky and easy to work with, and it is pigmented without being hard to control. It’s easy to build up the intensity in layers without it getting patchy. The finish is radiant and gives an even, soft glow without visible glitter. It looks more like a healthy glow. It melts nicely into the base and gives a fresh impression right away. On my skin, it sits well throughout the day and retains both color and glow without getting patchy. The packaging is also very special and feels a bit more luxurious. However, I don’t quite understand the point of the metal tip. In summary, this is a very nice blush with lovely glow and good longevity, but keep in mind that the shade may appear more coral and intense than what the product images suggest, especially if you expect a more subdued tone. 🌸✨1 product in post Natural Glow! - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Cakey unfortunately!
✨ I have as #lykoinflutester tested the Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup from #esteelauder in the shade 2N2 Buff! ✨ I have used the older version before, so I was very curious to try this one, but the experience was actually a bit different than I had expected. For starters, I find that the shade is both yellower and much darker than I anticipated. This is probably my fault as I didn’t see pictures of the shade beforehand and went by the description “light-medium.” On my skin, which leans more neutral/light warm, it didn’t quite balance out in undertone as I had hoped, which is good to keep in mind if you are sensitive to yellow tones and pale. It will surely be a much better match in the spring when I get darker and warmer in my skin. The consistency is still relatively thin and pigmented, but unlike the older version, I feel that this one is a bit more cakey and a little harder to blend out evenly. I need to work faster and more carefully to avoid it setting before I’ve had time to work it in properly, and it can easily become patchy. The coverage is high and it definitely evens out the skin tone effectively, but I find that it really emphasizes texture, especially on the drier areas of my combination skin. The finish is matte and very “long-wear,” but I don’t experience the same smooth, almost skin-like feel that I remember from the previous version. The wear is still good and it stays in place throughout the day, but the overall impression was unfortunately not quite as impressive as I had hoped. In summary, this is a foundation with high coverage and good wear, but keep in mind that the shade may appear yellower/darker than expected and that the formula may require a bit more work during application. It probably won’t be this one next time unfortunately.✨1 product in post Cakey unfortunately!334 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 2 weeksRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Coverage but natural finish
✨ I have as #lykoinflutester tested the Double Wear Stay-In-Place Concealer from #esteelauder in the shade 2N! ✨ I found the shade to be a bit darker and yellower than I expected, as I didn't see any pictures when I chose the color, but it will surely match great for spring. I am neutral to slightly warm when I am pale, It still blends nicely into my skin tone and works well both under the eyes and on imperfections. The formula is on the thicker and drier side, but not as dry as the foundation in the same series. It feels pigmented and compact, and it is really very economical. Small dabs are enough for a medium-high coverage! I think it is impressively covering without looking heavy or cakey on the skin. It blends out very seamlessly and melts into the base without leaving sharp edges. The result is even and smooth without it being obvious that you have concealer on. The wear is also really good and stays where it should throughout the day without losing coverage. I only have a little loose powder over where my concealer usually creases. In summary, this is a covering and long-lasting concealer that lasts a long time and gives a natural result despite its higher coverage. Just keep in mind that the shade may appear a bit yellower than expected for a neutral tone, but otherwise, it is a really stable product! ✨1 product in post Coverage but natural finish145 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

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!144 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!207 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 Cleansing1389 views- The comment was made 3 monthsWhat 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 5 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!1350 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!297 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!338 views
