A mascara you keep coming back to
I received this mascara from Maybelline and I won't hide the fact that it's one of my favorites from before as well! The brush itself is a bit curved, and the whole handle is quite soft which makes it flexible and easy to apply. The "spikes" on the brush are hard enough to separate the lashes and avoid so many clumps. However, it always gets a bit clumpy on one of my eyes while the other usually looks really nice, I don't understand why it turns out like that🤷🏻♀️😂 I usually apply in two coats for the best effect. It can get a bit clumpy, but I think it works best to get defined lashes, and actually, I also feel that the curl holds better that way! Otherwise, my lashes tend to tip forward and become almost straight right after applying mascara. I have medium-length lashes and relatively thick ones. I used to use lash serum, but it's been a while since I used it regularly, so I don't think it should have that much impact on the result. One small downside is that it's quite hard to wash off, especially after two layers. I had gotten used to a mascara that easily "rolls" off, so it's a bit annoying for the eyes to have to wash so aggressively! Be careful and use eye makeup remover, I tend to be careless about that... #lykoinflutester #maybelline1 product in post A mascara you keep coming back to19 views - The post was made 1 hourRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Fills the skin with lots of goodness
I have tried this primer from NYX both now and previously, and I am absolutely satisfied with it. The formula is transparent and gel-like, and when you work it into the skin a bit by patting, it becomes a little lightly sticky/messy. I notice right upon application that the primer evens out the skin's texture. It becomes a bit smoother! What is stated in the description that the skin is "filled out" is really true. That it is also multifunctional and has a lot of nourishing properties is a big plus! If I had to guess, it's probably a big reason why it should make the makeup last better, since skincare is A and O when it comes to that. I also like the pump bottle and the function. It is simple and easy to dose. #lykoinflutester #nyxprofessionalmakeup1 product in post Fills the skin with lots of goodness19 views - The post was made 1 hourRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Highlighter - Glow without glitter
I have tried this highlighter from Loreal Paris, and I actually think it's the first completely liquid highlighter that I'm testing! My first impression of this is that it creates a nice and natural glow, and I stand by that! The formula is, as mentioned, liquid and it comes in a tube packaging. I have used it by taking a small dab on my finger and then dabbing it out mainly over the cheekbones, and I think that’s enough for a natural result! I don’t actually use highlighter that often otherwise. I haven’t used it all over my face, either alone or under makeup. It feels like it would be way too much of a good thing, at least for me! I have normal-combination skin that tends to get oily sometimes, and a lot of extra glow is the last thing I want (even if the latter might be a nicer type of glow). If you use it like I do, it will also last really long since you only need an extremely small amount. The highlighter is colored, and I would like to compare it to a warmer foundation in tone (I have 903 medium glow). I think it works well to look natural with my skin tone. It blends in nicely, especially if I have a foundation in a similar tone, and contributes a lot to the natural result. It doesn’t really brighten the cheekbones, but as mentioned, it creates a nice glow there! I have previously had many highlighters that tend to get glittery, which I don’t like at all. This one gives a super nice glow without glitter, perfect! #lykoinflutester #lorealparis1 product in post Highlighter - Glow without glitter25 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Impressed!
I have tried this setting spray from Rebecca Stella and I must say it’s probably one of the better ones I’ve tried. My first impression was that it wasn’t that special since the bottle felt a bit budget at first glance. However, I like that it’s completely plastic since it’s stored in the bathroom, and it might not be so easy to achieve a luxurious feel! Then I discovered while using it that it distributes the product in very, very small and fine droplets, which makes the mist settle beautifully on the face. It’s like a lovely cloud, typ! I use 4-5 sprays, but I don’t skimp. I’d rather not have too much product come out so I can adjust the amount myself. The best part about the product is that, incredibly, I don’t seem to get oily! Almost always when I wear makeup, it quickly turns to me looking greasy and oily on my forehead. I have combination skin with oily areas in the T-zone, and it actually feels like this setting spray is perfect for me! I didn’t think so when I read the description, but maybe it’s just that my skin thrives so well with all the moisturizing properties🙏🏼 The mist also sinks in very quickly to the skin and it doesn’t feel wet or sticky. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REBECCASTELLA1 product in post Impressed!29 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 1 out of 5Verifierad testare
Strong scent that doesn't suit me
I tried this scent from Rebecca Stella and quickly realized that unfortunately it’s not for me. The scent is strong and floral and almost stings my nose as I prefer softer scents. No shade to my grandma, but it reminds me of her and her perfumes. That’s why I feel a bit old-fashioned in this scent😂 my boyfriend isn’t a big fan of it either. You get quite a bit of product with each spray and the “stream” is quite hard. Therefore, it’s not possible to just take a little, which also contributes to it just smelling strong instead of good. I actually prefer to use it as a scent spray in the bathroom rather than on my body 😬 The bottle is cute and the packaging is nice. But that’s actually where the positive qualities end. Keep in mind that it has a lot to do with the fact that I personally don’t like the scent, for someone else it might suit them better! #lykoinflutester #rebeccastella1 product in post Strong scent that doesn't suit me880 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko.

For little bang for the buck
I have tested this serum for a few weeks, and I want to start by being honest and say that I find it very difficult to make a fair review of skincare products. This is because there are so many other things that affect the condition of the skin, such as diet, sleep, hormones, stress, and weather changes, for example. What I can say something about, however, is of course the formula and the packaging! I really like that it comes with a pipette that is also angled at the bottom, which makes it very easy to apply and adjust the amount without having to contaminate the jar/bottle or the pipette with your hands and risk adding bacteria. You don’t need much product, just three very small drops (one on the forehead and one on each cheek) have been more than enough, I think. The formula is a bit thicker and more viscous than, for example, a toner or watery serum. It is also not completely clear but more cloudy. I find it a bit confusing and misleading that it says "night repair" on the bottle, as it states both "am" and "pm" on the back and in the description that you can/should use it both morning and night. About the same time I started using this serum, I had an outbreak of pimples on my forehead and big problems with very oily and greasy skin. However, I have no idea if it’s due to the serum or something else, considering what I described above. I usually get more pimples once a month (probably hormonal, of course), but it has been a long time since it was this bad. I continued to use the product, but not as often, and after a few days up to a week, it calmed down. I don’t know if the product maybe needed an adjustment period and that there was some kind of detox, or if it simply just depended on something else. Normally, I have combination skin and tend to get a bit oily in the T-zone. Sometimes I wake up with a very oily forehead after applying the serum in the evening, and sometimes I wake up with balanced skin and a nice glow. Maybe it has to do with how much I apply? Worth mentioning is perhaps that I have another product from Estee Lauder that also makes me very oily on the forehead. The serum absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky. I use it after a hydrating toner and before my face cream. It smells quite a bit, but not necessarily bad. The scent reminds me of a C-vitamin serum I used before that had about the same consistency, but nothing is mentioned here about C-vitamin as far as I can understand, so it’s unclear what it is that smells. As for results? Yes, I actually don’t dare to say much about it in reference to what I started with and considering that I have only tested it for a few weeks. I see tendencies for a more even skin tone and more glow, but at the same time, the skin remains quite unbalanced with a pimple popping up here and there despite being in my 25s. What is clear, however, is that I don’t see such a magical difference that I would pay 1450kr to buy it again, but I will absolutely continue to use it until it’s finished! If it had been cheaper, it would have felt more worth the price, but the high price actually brings down the rating in this case. #lykoinflutester #esteelauder1 product in post For little bang for the buck218 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5Verifierad testare
Really good, but too short cord
My first impression of it was that it feels incredibly luxurious. It feels solid and stable without being too heavy and bulky. There’s also touch on the screen which adds to the luxury feel. The size is just right to feel sufficiently large (so you don’t have to keep adjusting your position and angling it around your face to see yourself), but still not too cumbersome. Maybe it could have been a little smaller, because now I’m not really sure where to store it😂 The most important thing is of course the light, and this mirror gives a really, really good light without glaring. There are a total of three different types of light (one cold and white, one warmer and a bit yellower, and a setting in between). It can also be dimmed! A pretty big downside is unfortunately that the cord is very short. I don’t have a makeup table or desk that I do my makeup at, but usually hang out at the bathroom mirror. With this mirror, I could have temporarily moved to the dining table for example and sit down in peace, but even though I have a wall outlet only about 1 meter from the table, it only works if the mirror is standing right on the edge of the dining table. The cord is estimated to be about 1.5m long, which means it still isn’t as portable and convenient as it could have been. Therefore, it fits best for you who already have a makeup table directly against the wall by an outlet. It was hard to capture the dimmer function on film as the mobile camera adjusts to the light. I’ll upload a video of the chair that stands in front of the mirror where the light changes are a bit clearer to see! #lykoinflutester #bylyko1 product in post Really good, but too short cord1786 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 2 out of 5Verifierad testare
Unfortunately(!!) not for me💔
I got to try this Setting Spray from Fenty Beauty, and my experience with it is that there is potential for it to be a really good product, but unfortunately it just didn't suit me optimally. To start with, I rarely wear makeup and very little. I can imagine that you get more out of the product's functions if you use more foundation and other makeup. I personally use a maximum of a thin layer of BB cream at its height and a little bronzer/rouge. I have used the spray over just primer, tinted sunscreen, or BB cream as well as cream bronzer and blush. There I absolutely experience that the makeup's longevity is good, especially considering that I haven't even used powder. However, it probably doesn't quite suit my skin type unfortunately. I have combination/oily skin, and this lays almost like a shiny film on the makeup. It makes me just look oily in the skin, I think. It’s like it continues to look wet even after the spray has dried in. The skin then feels a bit sticky, but not in a “sticky” way, rather like a glass surface. The formula is light and pleasant. It creates very small droplets that distribute evenly. That it’s a metal bottle feels nice, but unfortunately it had gotten a small dent during delivery. A slightly strange scent brings the rating down a bit, but otherwise I find this to be a really good product that just doesn't suit me! I’m posting a video where you can see the finish. Look especially at the T-zone and chin, and you’ll surely understand what I mean by looking oily. Dry skin types will surely love this!🫶🏼 #lykoinflutester #fentybeauty1 product in post Unfortunately(!!) not for me💔404 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Smoothing and lovely
I got to test this primer from Fenty Beauty and my first impression was of course that it was a very lovely bottle! The content is just as purple as the mascaras you see from the outside, and the product even shapes itself almost the same when you pump it out! The formula is about like a lotion but maybe a liiitle bit on the gel side. It’s not sticky at all like I’m used to with many other primers. When you pat/rub it in, it feels more like a regular face cream than you clearly experience the grip. My experience is that the primer mainly seems to smooth out the texture on the face. I have a few bumps on my cheeks and feel that my skin feels a bit smoother. One pump is enough for the whole face! I wear very little makeup and rarely, so I don’t know how it holds up when using many layers and thicker layers of foundation etc. I usually use a thin layer of BB cream or tinted sunscreen, but still get a nice and even result with glow. I have combination/oily skin, so the mattifying effect might have worked even better for me. The longevity gets an absolute thumbs up. In combination with the setting spray I also got to test, the makeup looked reasonably good after 12 hours consisting of a workday partially outdoors and a workout at the gym. Unfortunately, it is a bit on the pricier side, so I don’t think I would buy it again, but for someone who wears makeup more and more often, it might be worth it! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #FENTYBEAUTY1 product in post Smoothing and lovely388 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Pretty color and gloss!
I got to try this lip gloss that smells like candy🍬🍬 it's such a pretty color with a lovely gloss. The best part is that the color is so natural, and it's almost like I feel it just enhances my own lip color? Maybe I just got really lucky with the shade, but it suits me as I like to have something discreet on my lips if I'm going to wear anything at all. I have a tendency to "rub" my lips together way too much when I have lip products on, which makes it easily look messy and smeared outside the lips. This one was so natural though that it barely showed outside! Big plus! The lip gloss also gives a lovely soft finish. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay on that well as pretty much all the gloss was gone after a meal💔 A bit on the pricey side for me unfortunately, but otherwise I really like it! #lykoinflutester #fentybeauty1 product in post Pretty color and gloss!846 views
