BBIA Comparison Test Complete 🍁🌧️
I have now finished testing Bbia mascaras (the blue fiber mascara and the red "regular"). Both are waterproof (and I really mean that 😌). I have used the blue for a long time and received the red one over the weekend. The photo is from this morning after application. I have worn the mascara (three layers of each) all day and even cried a little bit with them. In the video, I have already done the same water spray and rub technique once before, and the mascara is still on both eyes (left is the red and right is the blue). They are really hard to separate, these mascaras. I know from before that both require remover for waterproof mascara, but today I tested holding a cotton pad with warm water against the lashes for 10 seconds to see if it would disappear, but no! I have tested both while training, and the blue may lose length a little more than the red, but it definitely leaves no smudges. After removing the mascara from both eyes with my usual remover, my conclusion is that the red is actually a bit harder to remove than the blue. Quite marginal, but still. Along with the comparison of the appearance after three layers of each, I conclude that these two are very similar to each other in both feel and appearance. The red gives a little bit more volume and is a bit harder to remove (this may be related since more product that has accumulated on the lashes should be harder to remove). So you don’t need to rush to buy the other if you already have one… but if you like either of them and one is at a good price but not the other, you can buy the cheaper one 🤗. With my remover (which should be shaken before use), I have moistened a cotton pad, held it against the lashes for a few seconds, and then pulled/zick-zacked it from the underside of the roots up onto the lashes. No problems at all! The remover is cheap and sold everywhere. Still the best I’ve tested and great for all longwear products for the lips too 🤗. #bbia #loreal3 products in the look BBIA Comparison Test Complete 🍁🌧️1264 views- The comment was made 1 dayNever tested any of them ❤️ thanks for the tips 😍, will later have 3 mascaras in use🤭1 likes

Forgotten Product and Mascara Test
When I suggested hair masks to a friend yesterday, she asked if I had tried Olaplex. Of course, I have, but I also completely forgot that I tested (and that I even bought) Olaplex curl gel! Today I'm testing it along with Umberto Giannini's mousse (mousse first, then gel). The instructions say to use it as the only product, but I'm skeptical, so I'm trying it this way first. In the pictures, the hair is 80%(-ish) dry and without scrunching the curls, but they never became stiff, so it looks pretty much the same as 💯 dry, just lighter. The first impression is good. It promises frizz-free curls for 72 hours. I think, maybe not on that, but we'll see tomorrow how it looks on day 2! I'm testing to compare BBIA's two black mascaras (the blue fiber mascara and the red one without fibers), and on the left in the picture, I have three layers of the red one, and on the right, I have the blue. Minimal difference, possibly a little more volume on the red. I will try to spray it down with a little water and see how they behave as well 🤗 #olaplex #bbia #filorga #garnier #maybelline #nyxcosmetics #xl #grazette12 products in the look Forgotten Product and Mascara Test2362 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

A first test
I have now tested the Bbia mascara ”extreme” for the first time. It didn’t give much more volume than the regular (blue) fiber mascara initially, but after I filmed, I applied an additional layer when I had done more makeup, and I still think I got the volume up (might be better seen in the photo taken after the workout) I have had it on for 2 hours of workout and not a smudge on the skin and no ”raccoon” under the eyes. It actually seems like this one holds the length better than the blue … Interesting to test further! #bbia1 product in the look A first test2239 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko.

Best waterproof mascara and remover for it
Two hours of sweaty dance training and the mascara is right where it should be. I never have to worry with my Bbia mascara and I love it! I wish for a version with a bit more volume, but the advantage of the small brush is that you can (though not done today) use it on the lower lashes. It's so good that some find it hard to remove. I use my classic remover from Loreal and place the damp cotton pad against the lashes for a few seconds to loosen it up and then wipe it away. No problems! #bbia #loreal4 products in the look Best waterproof mascara and remover for it - The post was made 1 month
Day 3 hair and old favorite
If you remember/know how much mousse and gel I use when I style my hair curly/wavy, it’s actually pretty cool that my hair can feel this fresh on day 3, and I’ve also brushed it out today. I just lightly sprayed a bit of water over my hair since I didn’t want such defined curls today. Done! ☺️ Clarins beauty flash balm was the only thing you heard about as a primer before the "primer boom" a few years ago. Is it still selling well? It feels like it’s fallen off social media and TikToks at least. I didn’t appreciate it much ten years ago, but now I think it makes my skin feel a bit more plump when I pat it in. I guess it’s because with age, my skin actually needs a little extra of everything now; before there wasn’t much to "liven up". It doesn’t help the longevity of the makeup otherwise, but it gives a nice base to "paint" on. I’ve also linked all the products and hope you have a fabulous Sunday! 😘 #filorga #isadora #clarins #bbia #urbandecay #kerastase #maybelline #umbertogiannini17 products in the look Day 3 hair and old favorite9960 views - The post was made 1 month
700! 🥳
So incredibly fun that you are now seven hundred girls and boys who find it interesting to see what I spend my money on instead of saving for retirement 🤪💸🤭🥰 I love that I share the interest in color and form with so many and am glad that there are more who think it’s completely normal to have the same lipstick in eight shades, have several eyeshadow palettes in the same color range, and that you can never test too many hair masks 🫶🏼😁 You can tell that autumn is on the way when you start mixing your summer foundation with a step lighter shade 🍂 Yesterday was a party, and to make the makeup last, I had to go from CC cream to a more solid foundation in Lumene's Blur foundation. It’s more covering but still quite light in consistency. I usually spray with setting spray on the sponge before I dab in the foundation, so it becomes a little more sheer too ✨ Today I am NOT as "bright and shiny" 😅🥂, but I thought I would dive into my sheet masks and see if I can find something that can wake my skin up after yesterday's/night's adventures 😜 #filorga #lumene #nyx #maybelline #itcosmetics #urbandecay #bbia #isadora #umbertogiannini #redken #kerastase19 products in the look 700! 🥳 - The post was made 2 months
Summer Smokey Eye
After a summer of “light and fresh” makeup, I felt like doing my makeup properly yesterday and went all out with a smokey eye. A pretty soft, brown/gold makeup look with the two VERY affordable palettes and the best primer in the world for us with slightly damp eyelids who can only use really good stuff if the shadows are going to stick! The hair was “day two” and got a little extra gel (mixed with a bit of water in my hands for better distribution and to keep the curls from sticking to my hands and getting frizzy) [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag] [hashtag]14 products in the look Summer Smokey Eye2056 views - The post was made 4 months
Budget and Luxury
Today, Bagliora's illuminating primer shares space with Garnier's BB cream and three shadows from Clarins shadow quartet no2 (the shade is not sold on Lyko, but the one I link is from the same series and most similar) with my favorite budget palette from Essence. I still feel like a wreck after the show weekend, but at least I LOOK unashamedly fresh! 😁✨🌸 Thanks for the dear makeup and a smile on it, so I can always fool someone, not least myself! 😁🥰 #bagliora #garnier #clarins #essence #itcosmetics #bbia #isadora11 products in post Budget and Luxury14872 views- The comment was made 4 monthsWhat shade do you have in the concealer “Bye Bye under eye”? :) So summery.1 likes

Not even close to smudge
Security🫶🏼 A whole day at work, two hours of training and not a single dot or panda marks around the eyes. The mascara may have lost a few mm in length during the training, but that doesn't bother me since it just disappears and doesn't leave marks either over or under the eye. Yes, it’s tough to remove… if you have the wrong products 😋 But with L'Oreal's remover for waterproof makeup, it works excellently 🥰 #bbia #loreal #waterproof #mascara1 product in the look Not even close to smudge - The post was made 5 months
Dagens!
I assumed that Lyko sells this lip oil from Clarins, so I recorded the video first. Now it becomes more of a “Hey Lyko! You should bring this in!”😄 Clarins lip oil Shimmer, shade pop Coral 🤗 Otherwise, it’s standard makeup for me right now! A bit of Nyx liquid shimmer on the eyes and then a bit of mac’s nice mauve/lilac gray shadow on that and a line with the darkest shadow from elf’s lovely palette along the upper lash line.

...No Wow...
I recently bought this blush after looking for a purple blush for a long time. I bought one that leaned purple at H&M a while ago, and sometimes I've used a light purple eyeshadow as blush. Mostly because I think it's fun to do a little different for different makeup looks. What I've noticed is that it's mostly k-beauty that has this type of light purple blush, I haven't seen it anywhere in Sweden directly. Then it's also true that you have to have color theory in your head when looking at blush/rouge just like with other makeup. I naturally have quite red skin, so it won't show up directly purple on the skin. The color instead becomes a cool light pink. It's very discreet, which might not really be my vibe. Easy to work with, but it can't be built up that much. I actually wish there was a bit more pigment in it. Well. As I said, I've wanted a blush like this for a long time, so I got that request fulfilled 😄 And if you're looking for a very discreet blush, maybe you should check this out. But otherwise, I'm not that impressed. The other colors look nice, but I'm not really tempted. Besides, I probably already own something close to every color... 😊 #lykoreview #bbia #blush1 product in post ...No Wow...4149 views - The post was made 8 months

New combo for the curls
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 #waterclouds8 products in the look New combo for the curls - The post was made 11 months
🎃 Tips for next Halloween 🎃
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 #urbandecay6 products in the look 🎃 Tips for next Halloween 🎃 - The post was made 11 months
🎃 Halloween 🎃
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

I just CAN'T let this go 😄🥰
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 #makeupstore14 products in the look I just CAN'T let this go 😄🥰
