Tried a new combination for my hair yesterday. My regular mousse is out, and I got the wrong mousse, which I was allowed to keep (Thanks! ❤️) and I tested it with a new gel since my regular one from Living proof is almost out. The mousse is a fiber mousse with 4 out of 5 in “hold”. I don’t know if it reacted that way with the gel, but I find the result to be a bit less durable and less bounce in the curls. Totally fine and got compliments, but if you’re a nerd, then you are 🤷‍♀️ The eyeshadow is from Lindex and the color doesn’t come out right in the photo, but it’s not sold here anyway, so it doesn’t matter that much 😉 #elenichris #ecostyle #lumene #nyxcosmetics #bbia #rco #waterclouds

There are maaaany different lenses to pimp up your costume with. I’ve previously had a pair that are completely red, with a hole for the pupil, and they are cool but look pretty hysterical. My tip, if you want a pair with color but that doesn’t look REALLY that crazy, is to look for a pair with dark edges and a little pattern, like the ones I have on here. It becomes more toned down but still with color. There’s a bit of charm in noticing first up close that “wait, there’s something off about those eyes.” Besides red, I’ve seen yellow and green. Now the lenses weren’t bought here, but since they are part of my previously published Halloween makeup, I realized I forgot to add this here 🤗 They were bought at a random costume store for about 149:- If you want to know more about the makeup, the full description is in my profile, and I’ll link those who are in the picture here too! 🎃 #elf #nyx #loreal #bbia #urbandecay

Me in the middle of October: “I’m not going to engage that much in Halloween this year” Also me, but on Halloween: …👻😅 This year it turned into some kind of medusa/snake hybrid, and it was definitely great to nerd out on things for it too! 😁 FACE I started by applying eyeshadow primer #urbandecay on the areas I wanted to paint “scales.” Then I took a pair of fishnet tights and pulled them over my head and dabbed eyeshadow on the areas I wanted scales on. I was lucky to find the last green palette from #elf (one shadow was broken so that was probably the reason it was left) and it was PERFECT for this. After I took off the tights, I powdered with #nyx HD powder, which goes on translucent, and then settingspray #urbandecay. Then I went in with #isadora matte primer and #lumene blur foundation where it was missing. Another round with nyx hd powder and settingspray. EYES The eyes got the same base with eye primer and the shadows from elf. A black shadow from #thebalm added some depth and smoke. I used gray kajal #loreal both around the lash lines and brows. A trick I came up with when I forgot kajal once was to use the mascara, take a bit of it on a brush, or the back of a knife, which was the solution back then 😅 and paint/stamp. Since the #bbia mascara is the most waterproof I know, I also drew a line of it along each lash line and used it with the mascara brush for the lashes. A couple of red lenses from a local store. HAIR I prepped my hair with mousse and put it up in a ponytail with parts of my hair on top of my head. Then I wrapped strands around the snakes and secured the strands with pins. I sprayed everything with #rco finish spray. The snakes were black but painted with nail polish and acrylic paint. NAILS I painted a black base and painted the threads on plackers and “stamped” the other colors a bit here and there. I used some random brands. The top coat is from #sechevite. FRAGRANCE #ysl Opium Nice and tidy at home after the “extra everything makeup” 😅 Last photo with white over the eyes (I spare you my eyes that are red from both lenses and the fact that it’s around 5 AM. Do you see what insane durability the makeup had?! 12 hours of makeup, five of which were at a party and five at the bar. It was definitely a good idea to use the eyeshadow primer even under the pattern. The pattern can’t really be improved once it’s set, so I’m pleasantly surprised. 🤗 #halloween24

When I accidentally ordered the brown, and it was so freaking good, I got the black too. Just thought I’d put both in, in two different lights, so you can compare for yourselves if you’re curious 🤗 (Hope the products get linked to the post this time 😃 #BBIA

My hair feels fresh. My thick hair feels thick without going flat. I can't really wish for more. I washed my hair yesterday with Waterclouds motion care shampoo and conditioner, which I have on trial at home. So far, I’ve found these to be too weak for my hair, so it’s not their fault that my hair feels the way it does. Honestly, it felt different already when the mask seemed to be different. Hard to explain, but the consistency of the hair and the mask kind of meld together and was completely smooth. You can tell that the scent is not an ICA scent. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean I like it 😋, but the scent fades afterward. Yes, I wrote a bit yesterday about being quite surprised after blow-drying. I used Lyko’s “beat the heat” as heat protection. It makes the hair softer otherwise too, but not at this level. I slept with my hair in a loose bun on my head and brushed it out today. No oil, nothing extra. It’s going to be super interesting to: 1: see if the hair holds up during styling (curls, etc.) or if it’s so “relaxed” that it goes straight again 2: see how it works if I go for my natural curls/waves. Could be super good or super heavy 3: I had a bit of the same experience the first time I tried Olaplex No. 3 (ALMOST, must be emphasized) but not since then… Will it be the same here? I’ll probably use this for my next wash too, but then it will get a break. I think it will be too much and unnecessary to use every time… but that’s what I THINK. Otherwise, I’m working on trying to like the cream stick 😅 It’s turning out pretty good, but it needs to hold too! 😌😃 Now I’m going to keep working! 🥰 #shuuemura #bylyko #waterclouds #nudestix #itcosmetics #nyx #nyxprofessionals #elixir #dyson #bbia #tangleteezer #makeupstore

There have been many days with curly hair, but now it was time to cut it, and then it became flat. I've been cutting my hair myself for a few years now and I think it works well. I lost some hair a few years ago, and there still isn't a super good way to cover it up, so it became Brad Mondo’s tutorial on butterfly cut, i.e., layered cutting. Super easy, cheap, and good 🤗 On my lips, I have Boss gloss in the shade Marmelady, from #Bylyko. Another thing that is both cheap and good 🥰 #ghd #kerastase #nyxcosmetics #bbia #clarins #isadora

… but when I got home, I had to test mixing my new shade of #isadora Cc-cream with my old one, so it’s basically a photo without base and one with 😁 I wrote a long post, but since the app crashed when I had been holding on for too long writing and adding products (ugh 😤😳not), I think I’ll settle for saying that all products except the Isadora products were used on both photos 🤗❤️ Does anyone have tips on how to make cream blush last better? Other than setting spray, that is? 🌱Happy weekend, lykosar! ❤️🌱 #nyx #itcosmetics #bbia #elixir #björk #fudge #idawarg #isadora

Happy weekend to you! 🤗🥰 #elf #makeupstore #bylyko #essence #BBIA

Finally, a truly hardcore, waterproof mascara that delivers on its promises! 😍 Are you team "I want to risk black dots and smudge under (and over) my eyes to avoid using anything other than a light remover or water"? You won't like this mascara. Are you (like me😋) team "I like to use remover for waterproof mascara to have a mascara where I can be sure that no matter the weather, workout, sun, everyday life, or party, I want to be completely sure that my mascara ONLY stays where it should and nowhere else"? Then you will adore this!!🤳 I accidentally ordered brown instead of black, but at this price, I can live with it by simply ordering a black one too ☺️ Here comes a slightly more nuanced review than "it's WATERPROOF" ☺️: I like the simple tube with a nice blue color and the simple "BBIA" label in silver metallic. The brush is small and doesn't look like much, but it actually gives separated lashes with color and is easy to reach all the way to the roots of the lashes. Another positive thing is that it’s super easy to apply on the lower lashes too, and with the insane durability, it actually stays there too 😱. The mascara can be built up and gives a clear color. It’s not a voluminous mascara, but it still gives clear lashes, builds a bit of length, and separates nicely. In the last photos, you can see how my lashes looked after I showered, washed my hair, and rubbed my eyes a few times in the shower 😌 I use, as always for the last 20 years of waterproof mascaras, L’Oréal’s eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup, and it works excellently! Shake well, put a little on a cotton pad, and hold it against the lashes for a few seconds, then just clean with the pad. Tadaa! It would be fun to have a volume version of the mascara, but honestly, I’m so impressed with the durability that it could look almost any way 😅 And the lashes do look nice (see the first photo of the eyes, where I’m freshly made up with mascara on the left but not on the right) #LYKOREVIEW #BBIA

The movies are working again, so now the review for the BBIA mascara is coming! #BBIA

Since I can't upload any videos, it'll have to be a picture this time. New stuff came in this week, and that's always fun 🤗 the bottles from Waterclouds are the latest influencer-test project, and the mascara is an exciting purchase that really seems to be great! I did realize that I ordered brown instead of black 😅 but I'm leaning towards ordering a black one too, it seems to be that good! I've tested the toner in highlights before but I'm considering trying it on the whole hair; we'll see. #waterclouds #Bbia
