Fructis Diamond Sleek
I got to test this product for free through Smartson and I love it! It smells fantastic, even though the scent disappears quickly. The product needs heat to activate, which wasn’t an extra step for me since I always blow-dry and straighten my hair. My hair became very soft and silky, insanely shiny after the flat iron! Exactly how I want my hair to look and feel. What lowers the rating a bit is that it felt a bit greasier a little faster. Nothing that dry shampoo can’t fix, but yeah, it was a bit of a shame.

Vitamin C Glow-Boosting Daily UV Fluid SPF50+
I got to try this product for free through Smartson and here’s what I think. The first thing that struck me was the scent. Way too strong and it reminded me of an old-fashioned sunscreen, maybe even with a hint of self-tanner. However, it faded after a while, or maybe I just got used to it. At least it didn’t trigger a headache, which is usually a small problem for me. I applied this under my regular makeup and it gives a super nice glow! Unfortunately, it’s a little bit too dark, so I constantly felt like my makeup looked a bit off, but that was probably just me noticing it. I will continue to use it for the glow, but not as sun protection since I guess the layer needs to be a bit thicker for that.

Vitamin C Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream
I got to test this product for free through Smartson and this is what I think. I really wanted to love this product. I like the texture, how the jar looks, the scent, etc. And when I apply it, it feels really nice on the skin at first. But after a few minutes, my skin started to sting. I gave it a few days despite this, but it ended with me getting red rashes on my face. I suspect it was simply too much vitamin C. So unfortunately, this is not something I can continue to use.

Chronologiste Overnight Youth Serum
Have tested this series for free via Smartson. Same scent as the other products in the series, not the best but tolerable. Hard to say if this serum made any difference for my hair. But it was easy to apply and distribute evenly, left no greasy residue or feeling of product in the hair. However, I had trouble remembering to use it every night. Very nice packaging with a smart pump. Seems economical as one pump is enough for my hair, which goes a bit below the shoulders.1 product in post Chronologiste Overnight Youth Serum68 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 3 out of 5
Chronologiste Masque Régénérant hair mask
Got to test this series for free via Smartson. Smells just like the rest of the products, overwhelming in the jar, but not nearly as intrusive once the hair is washed. The hair became very clean and soft, but I’ll leave it open whether that’s due to just this product or a combination of the whole series. I used this mask as a conditioner, since there isn’t one in the series and I didn’t want to break the test with another brand. The first week went well, but it was noticeable that the hair became saturated from using the mask at every wash. It felt heavy in the hair, got greasy faster, etc. A bit unfortunate, but I have only myself to blame since, as said, it’s not a conditioner. If you use it as intended, I can’t imagine it would feel the same. The packaging is worse than the shampoo! Jar with screw lid, and then a small plastic cover that you have to try to remove with slippery hands. Hard to close properly in the shower, and easy to forget afterwards.1 product in post Chronologiste Masque Régénérant hair mask15 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 4 out of 5
Chronologiste Bain Régénérant Shampoo
Got to test this shampoo for free through Smartson. Such an incredibly good product! At first, I thought the scent would trigger my migraine, but it didn’t happen even once. The scent is quite masculine as others have pointed out, I don’t think it smells super nice, but once the hair is washed and styled, it doesn’t bother me at all. The hair feels incredibly clean and becomes very soft, I don’t know if it’s just because of the shampoo or if it’s due to the whole series. The product is very economical, I always double shampoo and was a bit hesitant at first because of the price range. But I discovered that very little product is needed, so in the end, I felt it didn’t matter. A small minus for the packaging, the screw cap feels impractical and fiddly, it’s easy to get too much product out if you’re not careful how you hold it.1 product in post Chronologiste Bain Régénérant Shampoo28 views - The post was made 6 monthsRating: 4 out of 5
Smells good, gives volume
I have tested this volumizing spray for three weeks via Smartson, and here comes my review. This spray delivers on its promises! I have used it both right after washing and styling, and in between washes. It gives great volume, leaves no traces at all in my black hair. It also smells absolutely divine, albeit a bit strong at first, but that fades quickly. I have completely switched to this instead of my regular dry shampoo, and I will continue to buy it when the bottle is empty. It is also economical, so you don't need a lot of product.1 product in post Smells good, gives volume15 views - The post was made 6 monthsRating: 3 out of 5
Gave volume, but tangled after washing
I have tested this conditioner for three weeks via Smartson, and here comes my review. My hair is colored and straightened quite often, so it is relatively damaged in the lengths. My hair needs something more nourishing, so I will not continue to buy it. After washing, it became extremely tangled and hard to comb, I also used shampoo from the same series! However, it delivers what it promises! The hair felt fluffy in a good way, so the volume was there. Especially in combination with the spray from the same series. My son, who has a "broccoli haircut", loves this series though, it gave the right lift to the hairstyle without much effort. Big plus that it smells good!1 product in post Gave volume, but tangled after washing9 views - The post was made 6 monthsRating: 3 out of 5

My hair needs something more caring, so I will not continue to buy it. After washing, it became extremely tangled and hard to comb, I also used conditioner from the same series, but it didn't help with the tangling. On the other hand, it delivers what it promises!

Miracle oil serum
I got to be a test pilot for this hair care series via Smartson, and love-hate is a fact. My hair has a natural fall, but it is quite thin and frizzy, it gets flat and colored and has to endure most things. The hair became soft, shiny, and completely smooth after I used both shampoo, mask, and conditioner. It really exceeded expectations. The serum was a bit of the cherry on top, I usually often get an oily and greasy feeling when I use serum. But with this, I experienced nothing like that. It just seemed to disappear into the hair, in a positive way. It was also economical, I didn't need much for my hair that goes a bit below my shoulders. So my concern that it would run out quickly with the relatively small bottle was unfounded. The problem is the scent. The first time I actually liked it, maybe because it was new and not at all like my usual products. It wasn't an overwhelming strong scent, leaning a bit floral, etc. But every other time, the scent became something I couldn't handle at all. Covid has ruined my sense of smell, and all I can smell is that it smells old and musty. Kind of like a summer cottage and wet dog. Still not strong, but as soon as I have my hair down, it is constantly present. Super sad, and it really hardly depends on the product, but I can no longer use it.
