903 Medium Glow
I was lucky to test L’Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion, and it gave a nice glow to my skin. I applied the product to half of my face and asked my partner if he saw any difference – and the first thing he commented on was that the side with the product had a «nice glow» ✨ The glow looked healthy and fresh. As for the color, 903 was unfortunately a bit too dark and warm for me. I have a very light skin tone with cool undertones, and both my partner and I agreed that the shade didn’t quite fit. For my skin tone, it would have been better with a shade lighter. The product had very little coverage. Despite being marketed as a foundation-like glotion, the coverage is almost non-existent. Personally, I like this a lot, as it gives a very natural result. But when I built up the product in areas where I wanted more coverage, the result became patchy, as the foundation got darker where more product was applied. As shown in the picture of swatches marked (1) «much» product, (2) less amount of product, and (3) the result of the product that was left on my finger after the other two, so very little amount of product. I’m sure this wouldn’t have been a problem if I had tested a shade that was better suited to my skin tone. Therefore, I feel like I didn’t give the product a proper chance, which is a bit of a shame. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #LOREALPARIS1 product in post 903 Medium Glow300 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Plump right back
I have been so lucky to test NYX's product Plump Right Back ⚡️ It is a serum and primer in one, and the first impression is very positive. The product has a fresh and pleasant scent, and the pump bottle makes it easy to get the right amount of product out. The consistency is almost lighter gel-like, but still very easy to apply evenly on the skin. After a short time, the skin becomes a bit «sticky», and this is exactly where the product really impresses. This stickiness makes foundation and other base products sit extremely well on the skin. The makeup has a good grip and lays nicely, without sliding around. For me, it worked very well under foundation 💛 If you don't like the feeling of sticky skin, you can let the product dry a little longer. After a while, it feels like it completely absorbs into the skin, while the effect is still there. The makeup still sits well, and the base stays nice over time. All in all, this is a primer that really does its job when it comes to longevity. It provides a good foundation for base products, especially if you want your makeup to last long. Highly recommended! 💛 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #NYXPROFESSIONALMAKEUP1 product in post Plump right back315 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Sky high
I have been so lucky to test Maybelline's Sky High mascara 🌸☁️ It comes in a cute and sleek packaging, and simply looks gorgeous in the makeup bag. It's a little plus that makes the product extra tempting to use. The mascara is easy to apply, and the silicone brush works really well! The brush is narrower at the tip, which makes it easy to reach the inner corners of the eyes and the lower lashes. It reaches all the lashes well and gives an even result from root to tip. The lashes feel neither stiff nor clumpy after application, which I really appreciate. The formula doesn't clump, and the mascara can easily be built up with more layers if you want more length and intensity. The result still looks pretty and defined, even with several strokes. All in all, this is a mascara that provides good control during application, separates the lashes nicely, and gives a soft and natural result – while also being buildable as needed. Highly recommended! 🌸 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MAYBELLINE1 product in post Sky high296 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Silver Refine Highlight Treatment
I have been so lucky to receive Waterclouds' purple series 💜 It is one of my favorite brands, and I was completely converted the last time I tried one of their products. A little quick info: I have a hairdressing background and fully bleached, thick hair. My hair is very dry, damaged, and porous as a result of the bleaching. My hair quality is currently extremely poor due to exams and a lot of other stress. This leave-in spray has become a new favorite in my kit. Here's how I use the product: 1. Spray on dry hair – start with a small amount and gradually increase. 2. Comb the product through the hair for even distribution. 3. Blow-dry the hair. This helps the hair absorb the nourishing ingredients better while the pigments distribute more evenly. It also makes the hair feel non-greasy after use. The result is significantly softer hair, less frizz, and a light, nice toning of yellow pigments. And it smells so good! Like all of Waterclouds' products do 🤩 Highly recommended! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDS1 product in post Silver Refine Highlight Treatment - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Game changer
I have been so lucky to receive Waterclouds' purple series 💜 It is one of my favorite brands, and I was completely converted the last time I tried one of their products. A little quick info; I have a hairdressing background and fully bleached thick hair. It is very dry, damaged, and porous as a result of the bleaching. A mistake many make with purple products at home is that they often are not thorough, or they are done in 1-2 minutes. It is important to think of this as a treatment. Take your time, don’t rush anything. If you do, you will be rewarded with good results, making the product worth every penny. The conditioner has been used in conjunction with the shampoo in the same series. This was my method for achieving the result in my after picture; 1. Take a bit of your own shampoo, this is to remove grease and dirt - but most importantly, open the cuticles of the hair before you add pigments. 2. Take the purple shampoo in your hand and work it a bit with it/foam it up. This is so that the shampoo doesn’t become too concentrated where you first hit the hair, thus avoiding purple spots. 3. Work the shampoo WELL in, make sure to cover everything and apply plenty of product where you see it’s needed. 4. Rinse out and add the purple conditioner in the same series. 5. After you feel you have worked the conditioner well in, and have achieved an even application - wait 10-15 min. Perfect time to do your other shower routines! 6. Do not rinse out, but add your own conditioner and work it in. Wait 2-3 min. 7. Rinse out. Voila! The conditioner contains lots of pigments and has a lovely shimmer to it. My only negative feedback is that the conditioner foamed and that it didn’t feel nourishing. BUT, the conditioner really did its job when it came to "blocking in" the last pigments. I could see a massive difference in my hair in the shower. If you have bleached hair, you need to finish with something nourishing. And even though this wasn’t it, it felt like this was the star of the duo. There was no problem finishing with my own conditioner, and the result was a real WOW factor. Tip: also available in a 1L bottle 😉 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDS1 product in post Game changer216 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

The attached picture says enough, as it is a big transformation. My only negative feedback is that the product feels very runny. And I understand why, but it makes it a bit challenging for inexperienced users to achieve an even result. Other than that, the product has really done what it promises. And I am super satisfied with the result. Tip: if you are a frequent user of purple products, this can also be purchased in a 1L bottle! 😉 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #WATERCLOUDS1 product in post WOW119 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Advanced Night Repair Serum
I have been so lucky to test Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum. The first impression of the packaging wasn't necessarily impressive, but the bottle definitely screamed "luxury". The heavy glass bottle gives an exclusive feel, and I love that it's made of glass - because that makes it more environmentally friendly. The pipette also has a great shape, with an angled tip that makes it easier to be more precise. The consistency is exactly what I expect from a serum, but with a bit more fullness that makes it feel more nourishing than the completely "watery" variants. It has a fresh scent, but I can't see any perfume on the ingredient list. The scent disappears quickly and doesn't linger. The serum absorbs nicely and doesn't leave any stickiness - which makes it the ultimate partner with other products and makeup prep. I have combination skin: a bit oily here, a bit dry there, and generally quite "mood-based". The results I've noticed the most are hydration, my skin feels smoother, hydrated, and generally more balanced - especially in the dry areas that usually scream for help. There is no dramatic transformation, but a nice, stable upgrade of the skin's overall condition. For me, skincare is about more than just glow – the face is most exposed to stress and free radicals every day. Damage can be difficult to reverse, so I like to take care of my skin now while I can. Good products are therefore not just a luxury, but a long-term investment. The price is somewhat more high-end, but the experience reflects that. #lykoinflutester #esteelauder1 product in post Advanced Night Repair Serum374 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

The product I didn't know I needed
I was so lucky to receive LYKOs own Hollywood Led Mirror 💡📦 My first impression was that the package was surprisingly large and heavy. I actually didn't expect that! Previously, I had a proper makeup setup, but after moving into an apartment, I had to say goodbye to that space. My current bathroom is dark, and the light only comes from above, which makes it hard to see details. I've really realized how important it is to have good lighting. I take the mirror out of the package, and it has a heavy base. Not so heavy that you can't lift it, but solid enough that it stands steady - I'm not worried about it tipping over. The design is simple, sleek, and without unnecessary frills. Straight, fine edges and a size that feels just right. I plug it in and lightly press the power button. Wow, I was impressed. This was the product I didn't know I needed. It was seamless to press on the mirror to change its settings. A light press, no delays!! Bright and clear light. 🤩 It has three different color settings: Warm, cool, and neutral. You have the option to dim the light up and down 🤯 AND it remembers your settings for EVERY color setting - applause 👏 It's a shame the dimming function didn't come across so well in the video I attached, but trust me - it works super well! This was not what I expected when I received the mirror, and I didn't think I would fall so in love with the product. My new must-have!

Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5-Min Mask
I have been so lucky to test Redken's "Acidic Bonding Concentrate" series. This is the treatment in the series, and the bottle states that you should use it once a week. The consistency is a bit creamier and runnier than the conditioner, and it looks almost glossy/shimmery when you take it in your hand (without there actually being mica or glitter in it). It has a whopping 16% Bonding Care Complex, so expectations were high. Even though I rinsed my hair well, my hair felt greasy and heavy as soon as it dried naturally. This surprised me a lot since I have fully bleached and very damaged hair. The second time I used it, however, I was more careful with the amount and rinsed it out even better, and got a lovely result. Be careful not to make the mistake of using conditioner before the treatment! If you use conditioner before the treatment, you close the cuticles of the hair strands, and since the molecules in the mask are smaller than in the conditioner, they won't be able to penetrate to treat the hair strand. Then you lose the full effect of the treatment. Something I must mention, since the products contain AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), it states on the bottle that the product may increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. So if you use this regularly, it is actually wise to protect the scalp 🧢 Another thing to know is that Redken's "Bonding Care Complex" series is a combination of acidic pH (citric acid) + nourishing/sealing ingredients. So you don't need to use shampoo + conditioner/treatment together to "activate" anything. They enhance each other in the series, but it's not like the shampoo is necessary to create the bonds to the conditioner, as you would do in e.g. plex products. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5-Min Mask646 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner
I have been so lucky to test Redken's "Acidic Bonding Concentrate" line. And I must start by saying that this actually surprised me! Here we are talking about a thick consistency of the conditioner, almost a bit of a "rich cream" feel. It glides nicely through the hair and detangled my hair well in the shower. I recommend squeezing out as much water as possible before applying it, so the product doesn't get diluted and you achieve maximum effect. But watch the amount, as it can feel a bit heavy. This contains 11% Bonding Care Complex, and I feel that my hair actually becomes softer and more manageable afterwards. The only problem I have is that the bottle is made of hard plastic, so the product is a bit tricky to get out - if the bottle isn't standing up/down in the shower. Still, I like the result: my hair feels clean and smoother. For my fully bleached hair, it worked just fine! 🥰 Something I must mention, since the products contain AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), it says on the back of the bottle that the product can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. So if you use this regularly, it's actually wise to protect the scalp 🧢 Another thing to know is that Redken's "Bonding Care Complex" line is a combination of acidic pH (citric acid) + caring/sealing ingredients.
