Good for styling
A moisturizing cream that gives volume to the hair, everything you want in a hair product! This product is perfect for styling. But first to my hair: I would say it is typically Scandinavian. It is extremely flat and thin. I have a lot of hair strands but they are very thin, so not much happens with my hair if I don't style it. So when I style my hair, there is a lot of focus on volume so my hair looks fuller. To the product! This is a cream that claims to moisturize, provide volume and hold, and it also has heat protection. My first reaction was that the product smells incredibly good! A very fresh scent. My second thought was that it feels like you need to use quite a bit of product since this needs to be focused on the lengths, and since I have long hair, it took quite a bit of product. I still want to be careful to make sure the hair is covered since I wanted to test the heat protection in the product as well (so not using any other heat protection besides this product). The product itself is easy to apply and I finished by brushing through the hair so that the product would be distributed evenly (which is also recommended to do). When applying the product to towel-dried hair, the product feels very moisturizing, like a serum for the hair. But I felt that as soon as you started blow-drying the hair, you began to feel that the hair becomes a bit coarse and doesn't feel as moisturizing. My first reaction was that I didn't like it, BUT it is after all a styling product and if the hair has a bit of hold and is coarser, the styling lasts longer. So with a bit more thought, that feeling didn't bother me anymore. So with this in mind, this is not a product I would use after every wash unless I planned to style my hair, like curling it, which is usually my go-to styling. So to the result, you absolutely get more volume! The hair feels fuller and is easy to "puff" the hair with just your fingers to get the volume. I also think the hair feels better to curl when you have this product in, I think the curls hold longer than they usually do! To summarize: a good product for styling! Provides hold and volume for long-lasting styled hair. Not a product I would use after every wash unless I was going to curl it, as the hair feels a bit coarse after being blow-dried. #lykoinflutester #björnaxen1 product in post Good for styling257 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Natural Volume
This thickening spray is supposed to give volume without weighing the hair down and make the hair feel soft and full. Sounds like a dream! But first to my hair: I would say it’s typically Scandinavian. It’s extremely flat and thin. I have a lot of hair strands but they are very thin, so not much happens with my hair if I don’t style it. So when I style my hair, there’s a lot of focus on volume so my hair looks fuller. To the product: it’s a spray that can be used throughout the hair but should be focused on the roots for extra volume. It works both in dry hair and in towel-dried hair and then activated by blow-drying (which is recommended). I’ve used it both ways but prefer to have it in towel-dried hair and then blow-dry it, as you don’t notice the product at all. I find that when I’ve used it in dry hair, you notice the product more as it’s so wet, feels like the hair is weighed down a bit then. The product has a good spray and distributes the product evenly and nicely in the hair. When you’ve used the product and then blow-dried the hair, you don’t notice the product at all. Leaves no residue, feels not sticky and doesn’t weigh the hair down. The hair actually feels very soft and lovely! So the result, I would say it gives natural volume. There’s no direct WOW effect with a lot of volume, but it looks more naturally full. When you brush the hair after having the product in, I think the hair becomes quite flat again, but it can be fluffed up by tousling a bit with your fingers. I would say this product is perfect to use after every wash before blow-drying the hair! Looks natural and doesn’t feel like anything. But if you’re looking for more extreme volume and for more styling, then this might not be the right product. So to summarize: natural volume for an everyday hairstyle. Not a lot of result if you’re looking for a lot of volume. The hair feels soft and you don’t feel any product residue in the hair at all as long as you blow-dry the hair after use. #lykoinflutester #björnaxen1 product in post Natural Volume175 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Incredible!
I've been looking forward to trying this perfume so much!! I think the notes sound incredible and something I would really like, and I was so right! First and foremost, I have to say that the bottle is so beautiful and sleek. I love the red color and the golden details, I think it exudes luxury and femininity. This perfume is supposed to be a gourmand scent that is supposed to smell like passion fruit and vanilla, and they have really succeeded with these notes! The first thing you smell is a distinct passion fruit scent, it is both sweet but still a bit tangy. Once it settles a bit, you can feel a base of vanilla that really marries well with the passion fruit. This is truly a unique scent that I've never felt before, which is fun! I've gotten a bit tired of all these vanilla scents, but in this perfume, the vanilla was just right! I think the perfume is suitable for both daytime and evening, and I really believe this will be a favorite of mine this summer! It feels fruity and soft while also luxurious and feminine. I really think this perfume is a home run, it's fun to see something new on the market! For me, the perfume has also lasted a long time, I've been able to wear it all day and received comments about smelling good in the evening. A big plus when the perfume still costs a bit! If you're looking for a scent that is fruity, soft but still in a slightly sexy way, then this is really a scent for you! #lykoinflutester #giorgioarmani1 product in post Incredible!342 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Pretty glow
I have had the honor of testing this highlighter from L’Oréal that can be used in several ways - alone, under makeup, or as a final highlighter on the makeup. I would say my skin is normal. It can have periods in the winter where my skin gets a bit drier or it gets a bit oilier in the summer. But otherwise, I would say it’s the same all the time. For the product, I like the packaging, I like that the applicator is a bit narrower so you don’t get too much product out at once, but can place the product exactly where you want it. You also get a lot of product for the money, which means it will last a long time! It gives a nice glow that looks natural, no glitter or anything in it that makes it too much. Unfortunately, the color was too dark for me now in the winter, so I haven’t been able to use it alone or on top of makeup, but I think I will be able to do that in the summer and that I will really like having it by itself to get a fresh glow. So now that I am a bit paler, I have used it under my foundation to get a natural glow, and I have really liked it! It peeks through a little under your foundation and leaves a light glow that looks very natural. I then apply the product to the areas I want to highlight, like the nose, cheekbones, and a little above the eyebrows. So to summarize: a very nice and natural highlighter. Very nice to have under makeup during the winter months and I think it will be nice to have alone in the summer when I have a bit more color. A nice glowy product simply ✨ #lykoinflutester #lorealparis1 product in post Pretty glow407 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 weeksRating: 5 out of 5
So moisturizing!
I had the honor of testing this primer from Nyx professional makeup. It is a moisturizing and plumping primer + serum. I would say my skin is normal. I can have periods where I get a bit drier in the winter and a bit oilier in the summer, but for the most part, my skin is the same all the time. The first impression is that I like the packaging. I like that you can see how much is left and love the pump that makes it easy to get the right amount of product out! The product itself feels light and really makes the skin feel moisturized! I really understand that it is primer + serum because it feels like a moisturizing serum. After using the product, you feel moisturized and your skin feels firmer and nicer. The skin is left a little tacky, which makes the foundation stick nicely. I have tested this primer with several different foundations, and it has worked with all of them! All foundations have applied nicely, and it hasn’t crumbled with any, which is really positive. The makeup has also held up nicely all day, so the product has really done its job. So to summarize: an absolutely incredible primer! It moisturizes and makes the makeup apply nicely and last all day. This has truly become a new favorite, full score!! 😍 #lykoinflutester #nyxprofessionalmakeup1 product in post So moisturizing!301 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Nice length!
I had the honor of testing this mascara from Maybelline, even though this mascara has been hyped for so long, I actually haven't tried it until now! My lashes are quite short and very straight, I have an incredibly hard time getting my lashes to stay curled when I have mascara on. I also have hooded eyes, which I also think affects my lashes' ability to stay curled since they are under a certain pressure all the time. As for the mascara, first I must say that I really like the brush! It's easy to get to the lashes, and it separates nicely and gives incredible length. I found that the lashes got a bit clumpy when the mascara was brand new, but that's a problem I usually have - I always think mascaras are best when they've dried a little! So the result: The mascara gives a nice black color and lasts all day without flaking or smudging on the eyelid, which is very positive! The lashes are nicely separated and give a good length! Length is especially important for me with mascaras, since I have hooded eyes, it's easy for my lashes to just disappear completely if I don't get length. The only negative is that the lashes don't stay curled, but I didn't really expect that either since I almost never deal with it. I've heard that waterproof mascaras are better for this, so maybe I should try that variant too and see if it's a full hit! To summarize: a very good mascara that does what it should and lasts all day. It also has a very good price that raises the rating even more! What keeps it from getting a full score is that the lashes fall after a while, but otherwise everything is perfect! #lykoinflutester #maybelline1 product in post Nice length!164 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Not for me
I have been able to test this concealer from Nars for a few weeks now… and unfortunately, this is not for me. I would say my skin is quite normal and I very rarely have issues with products not working for me. To start with, I prefer concealers that come in a "tube" with an applicator, I find it easier to use than when it comes like this in a jar. When it comes to the product itself, it is thick in consistency, which means it covers well and can give a nice highlighter effect under the eyes. BUT I can't get it to work under my eyes, it settles directly into the fine lines (which they also claim shouldn't happen) and I look super dry and cakey. However, I think it works well on other areas. Like on the forehead, for example. I have tested applying it both with a brush, sponge, and my fingers. The absolute best result is with my fingers, but I don't like applying product with my fingers and getting sticky, so I gladly let that be 😅 Showing results with a close-up of how it looks under my eyes after application. So to summarize: not for my skin. It gets dry and cakey under the eyes but works well on other areas! It gives a nice coverage when it works well. Surely works for others, but not for me! #lykoinflutester #Nars1 product in post Not for me932 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 monthRating: 5 out of 5
Incredible!
Wow wow wow!! This is an incredible highlighter that Nars has really nailed. To start with, the packaging is very pretty and sleek, and it's so nice that the brand is printed in the product! The color is incredibly beautiful, I would say a mix of champagne and light gold. I was a bit worried at first when I saw it that the color would be too dark, but that is absolutely not a problem. It just leaves a warm shimmer on the skin with a little light glitter. The product is easy to apply and lays down very nicely, melting into the skin right away. I don't think it emphasizes pores or anything like that at all. It leaves an incredible shimmer that can be built up so it can work for both everyday and party! I also think it's incredibly pretty to have as a shimmer on the eyes. So to summarize: WOW! One of the prettiest highlighters I've tried. So pretty on and easy to use. This has absolutely become a favorite of mine. #lykoinflutester #Nars1 product in post Incredible!67 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 monthRating: 4 out of 5
Pretty!
I’ve had the chance to test this multi-stick from Nars for a few weeks. This stick is made to work for cheeks, eyes, and lips! However, I’ve preferred to mostly use it as a blush stick. To start with the product itself, I think the packaging is beautiful and sleek! It looks very luxurious. The color is also incredibly nice, just the kind of pink shade I love for blush. When it comes to application, the product isn’t very pigmented, but you have to build it up. Which everyone has different opinions about, some like it and some want pigmentation right away - I have no problem building it up myself! I’ve tried applying it in different ways, directly on the skin, on a brush, before powder and after powder to really put it to the test. I’ve preferred to put the product on a brush and then on the skin… and believe it or not, but I also think you get the best pigmentation and the prettiest result if you’ve powdered your face first! In the video I’ve attached, my face is powdered, and I think you can see the product so much more. Using a dense brush to pick up a lot of product helps too. For me, it’s actually a big NO NO to put cream over powder, but it actually works really well with this product!! Once you’ve found your tricks to get it applied best, I think it’s really pretty! It lays evenly and nicely on the skin and lasts all day without disappearing. The color is amazing and I think it suits most makeup looks. So to summarize: I like it! It takes a little time to find your way to make it work for your skin, but once you’ve done that, it’s really pretty. #lykoinflutester #Nars1 product in post Pretty!127 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Luxury!
I received both the shampoo and conditioner from Olaplex to test, so fun that this is such a talked-about brand! I have actually tested these products before, I used them a lot many years ago! So I have opinions both as a first impression and as a long-time user. When I first tested these products, my hair was bleached, so I have now been able to test it with damaged and bleached hair, and now also with healthy and natural hair. To describe my hair, it is very thin, but with many hair strands. It can also get very oily quickly, especially now that I have just gone from constantly bleaching my hair to now having my natural hair color. So to the product, the bottle is just like the shampoo very minimalist. I think they look very professional - just like they don’t need funny bottles to attract buyers! The product is very concentrated, you don’t need much to last for the hair, which is incredibly good! The conditioner is easy to use and easy to rinse out of the hair, you don’t notice any residue in the hair when you come out of the shower! When the hair is washed and dry, it feels sooooo smooth and manageable! It feels almost like you just came from the hairdresser. The hair gets a nice shine and is very easy to brush through, there are no big tangles that you have to struggle with. I really like this conditioner! The hair feels so healthy, smooth, and manageable. I have previously had problems with the shampoo not working as well after using it for a long time, but I have always loved the conditioner! Works just as well on the first impression as after using the product for over 1 year. Strong recommendation! #lykoinflutester #olaplex1 product in post Luxury!81 views
