Youthful, fresh, and berry-like
”Smells like a summer candy bag” was my note after my first spray of this body mist! Fruity and sweet but not sticky. I got to test this as a Lyko influtester and I will try to describe it based on my taste and preference. I usually wear Prada Paradoxe, Prada Paradoxe Virtual flower, Boss The scent, and before that, DKNY green apple was my scent for 15 years, and I still like it but have started to lean towards something a bit spicier than just fruit and “fresh” (even though that’s still what I’m most drawn to). I really think this smells good, but 18-year-old Therese would LOVE it even more. I imagine this works best for teens/20-somethings, it makes me think of that time in some way. If I had a daughter who had it, I would probably steal it sometimes as a change. It’s a mist, so it’s very light, and the slightly boring part is that I feel the scent disappears very quickly from the body… but a mist is a mist, not a perfume. It’s a large plastic bottle with playful design that I think fits the target group I imagine for this, and I like that the cap looks like wood 😌 Rating a scent is like rating a song; everyone has different tastes. However, I believe this will resonate with many as a little extra flair, and if you’re buying a gift for a teenage girl, I don’t think this can go wrong, hence a 4 #lykoinflutester #dkny1 product in post Youthful, fresh, and berry-like - 1 dayRating: 5 out of 5
Sooo good for a good price!💕🤩
I have blonde, thick hair with many fine hair strands and waves (2a-c waves/curls) that tends to get a bit dry. I style my hair almost always with at least blow-drying (straight or curly), and flat iron/curling iron/airwrap has also been used frequently over time. Sun, some coloring, etc. have of course also taken a toll over the years. I won a package with the entire series and have used this mask along with shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in. I think the tube is sleek and it is HUGE! All products in this series have solid packaging, and that, along with their being concentrated, makes them last a very, very long time. (The tube in the picture is not new, by the way ☺️) Like the other products, it smells fresh but not strong. The mask is concentrated, and I only need to use a (old) five-cent size for all my hair. This treatment really feels rich and nurturing when applied. The hair feels soft, and you can already feel in the shower that the product does not consist of like 3/4 water. I have taken this with me on the sun trips I have made during the time I have had it (normally alternating with moisturizing products), and considering what I expose my hair to (diving, sun, etc.), the quality of my hair has been very well maintained over the 7 weeks. I can only recommend this treatment! Shu Uemura's Ultimate Reset is slightly better, but then we're talking 200ml for upwards of 900:-... and this is among the best I've tested after that, so it is incredibly affordable. This could, in other words, be the most high-quality 250 milliliter treatment you can get for this price! #lykoreview #xl #grazette1 product in post Sooo good for a good price!💕🤩333 views- 1 dayThank you for the great review.

Gloss with more flavor than color
I bought the gloss in the shade Watermelon and it looks as deliciously transparent on my lips, however, I thought it tasted like watermelon (without knowing what it was called 😅), so they did that well! I wished for a bit more shade on the lips but the gloss is cozy and shiny and cheap; everything you want from a “you should always have at least one lip gloss in every bag- lip gloss” ☺️ #lykoreview #essence1 product in post Gloss with more flavor than color618 viewsto leave a comment - 2 daysRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Angled brush but not for thin eyeliner
I think the name of the brush is misleading as it is not thin enough, in my opinion, to be called an eyeliner brush. However, it works great for applying shadow/blending along the lash line and as a detail brush. The price is great and the brush feels nice against the skin 💕 #lykoreview #essence1 product in post Angled brush but not for thin eyeliner544 viewsto leave a comment ThereseR
has created a look2 daysWider than expected
You think that an eyeliner brush/pencil should be thin, but this one is quite thick. Good if you want to smudge a line, details, or under the eyes. Nice brush for a nice price but should be called a “slanted brush” instead of eyeliner 😌 #essence1 product in the look Wider than expected13006 viewsto leave a commentThereseR
has created a look2 daysNice budget gloss
Tastes a bit like watermelon and I need a refill on my lips pretty soon, but has a nice consistency and a price that makes it feel totally okay not to be super long-lasting. The shade is barely visible, so it's more like a clear gloss 😌 #essence1 product in the look Nice budget gloss3525 viewsto leave a commentThereseR

Perfect to show one of the products from yesterday's post: Here you see the light one of the brow powders as the only product to define my brows.

Perfect color for blondes
Budget? Yes! Good? Yes! The glam factor on the packaging is zero (the lid reaches a new level of budget feel. In a bad way) and the brush is a bit too soft for my taste, but that’s where any concerns about this hair product end, and they actually don’t matter much at this price, so it gets full points here anyway! As a blonde, it’s an eternal quest to find brow colors that aren’t brown with red in them but are just cool in tone. I mostly use the Nyx brow pencil in the shade Taupe or their "brow pencil" that looks a bit like an eyeliner at the tip, but sometimes I might want to use a bit of shadow, and if nothing else, it’s good to have in reserve. Do I already have a reserve at home? Yep, but the lid is broken. This could be a replacement since I also think BOTH shades are usable. I took all three photos at the same time but in different light in the apartment (cold window light, warm indoor light, and something in between) and you might need to click on the photos to see the swatch that’s a bit at the edge of the picture #lykoreview #essence1 product in post Perfect color for blondes332 viewsto leave a comment - 6 days
Well, that was exactly what I needed 😬🙄😅
More “stuff”. Just for fun. With the weekend's cleaning in the makeup room in mind, this might not be exactly what I needed, but I was bored when I ordered it. Over two weeks ago. And now it has arrived 😄 These might not be revolutionary products, but the budget brand essence might have a hidden diamond or two, so I wanted to try something new. The last time I put on lashes was probably for New Year's, but one day I will get good at it, and now I have a glue for all the lashes I have but don’t put on (anyone relate to that? 😄) A bit of a random mousse foundation that is a bit too light for now and possibly a bit too dry for me… but we’ll see how it is with a bit of primer and other things. The brow powder looks the most promising! COLD colors for blondes who don’t want red-brown in their brows! A brush (you CAN’T have too many of those) and for many lip glosses, no one has ever died from either (unless you stepped on them and slipped possibly), so two different ones got to come along. I can’t find the powder from Catrice in the product list anymore, which is a shame because I’m a bit unclear about what I should use it for 😅 Some kind of semi-shimmering porcelain finish type. We’ll see if the order bears any fruit or becomes “things in outer quantity” (i.e., things in the outer bag that I rarely/never use but still can’t bring myself to throw away/give away) #essence #catrice6 products in post Well, that was exactly what I needed 😬🙄😅
