It was supposed to be a dark and spectacular skeleton. At first glance in the mirror, I thought I looked funny, but after a moment I realized that the refined contours had gained a real, cinematic edge🔥 With such strong makeup, cosmetics undergo the toughest test. Here are my conclusions from the battlefield. 👁️ Black duel (Premium vs Market): To draw black eye sockets and nose, I tested two black pencils: the iconic Shiseido Kajal InkArtist and the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (Black Bean). And you know what? NYX simply falls short compared to Shiseido! The NYX pencil is much less pigmented, the black comes out pale and lacks depth. But Shiseido... it’s simply something brilliant🥰 It gives an instant, tar-like, ultra-deep black that holds the contour like concrete and doesn’t show any gaps. Absolute world-class! ✨ I finished the whole effect of bones, sunken cheeks, and dark highlighting with reliable highlighters from MAC (Hyper Real Glow). They gave a beautiful, luxurious sheen that perfectly contrasts with the matte black, and I perfectly shaded the sides of the face with a blush from Sleek MakeUP, achieving that amazing sunken cheekbone effect of the skull. Plus blood-red horns and my iconic Daryl Dixon shirt❤️ for me, it’s the perfect, atmospheric Halloween set 🧟♀️🎃 Dry, mature skin requires powerful preparation for such heavy pigments, so after removal, I have mandatory two-step cleansing and a huge dose of strong premium hydration waiting. 🧴💦 #lyko #lykoreview #lykoview #lykocreator #halloweenlook #halloweenmakeup #skeletonmakeup #charakteryzacja #shiseido #maccosmetics #nyxcosmetics #esteelauder #benton #murad #institutesthederm #lancome #sensai #kosmetykipremium #toaletka #mojakolekcja #kosmetyki #halloween261 product in post114 views

The post was made 5 daysRating: 4 out of 5verified customerScent-ghost that stole my heart 🤍My rating – a strong 4/5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ My collection of fragrances from the niche brand Juliette Has A Gun has been growing for three years now, all thanks to advent calendars from Flaconi and Lyko. Year after year, I’ve had the chance to test new releases and form a great opinion about them. Last year, in Flaconi’s calendar, I found the Powder Love version, which turned out to be gorgeous and very floral 🌸. This year, Flaconi served me the Ex Vetiver version – a definitely stronger and more expressive scent 🌿, but still wonderful in its own way. However, it was this year’s calendar from Lyko that brought me the biggest surprise in the form of a 10 ml miniature of the iconic “Not A Perfume.” This small bottle completely stole my heart and enchanted me so much that I immediately decided to buy the full-size 50 ml bottle 😍. An extra treat is the fact that the box of the large bottle has a sticker celebrating the 15th anniversary of this iconic scent, making this edition even more special. Visually, the whole series looks incredibly minimalist, elegant, and luxurious. The product is packed in a box, and inside we find a black, elegant case with embossed decorations and the brand name, where the bottles are safely nestled. The white packaging and bottles make an amazing impression on the vanity next to other cosmetics. The large bottle impresses with details – the matte bottle has beautiful, subtle embossing in the background, and elegant, logo-embossed brand names are also found on the top of the cap and the bottom of the bottle, adding exceptional class. The scent “Not A Perfume” is something incredible to me, mainly because these are unique molecular perfumes. Their formula is based on a single synthetic ingredient called Cetalox. Because it’s a molecular composition, the perfume can smell completely different on each person, blending with the natural scent of our skin. On me, it releases a beautiful, warm, and enveloping sweetness, very reminiscent of vanilla. The scent is sensual, clean, incredibly pleasant, and so captivating that it immediately lifts the mood. Unfortunately, this molecular magic also has its darker side, and initially, when I opened the large bottle, I thought it was a textbook “scent bait.” I noticed that the 10 ml miniature smelled intense, spacious, and incredibly long-lasting on me, while the large 50 ml bottle after spraying seemed almost imperceptible – like pure water 🥹. As it turned out, this is not deception but an example of so-called selective anosmia, i.e., smell blindness. The large cloud from the atomizer can instantly “block” our receptors, so we ourselves feel the scent very briefly, and it becomes a barely noticeable, skin-close memory. The smaller dose from the miniature allows our nose to slowly get used to the scent without sudden shock. Interestingly, the surroundings still detect a beautiful trail behind us, even when we ourselves think the scent has already gone. Pros: + Beautiful, luxurious, and sensual scent (warm vanilla sweetness) + Excellent bottle design (embossing on bottle, cap, and bottom) + Elegant black case inside the packaging + The surroundings can strongly smell it Cons: - Typical scent-ghost (I very quickly stop feeling it on myself) - Develops completely differently on everyone, making it capricious #lyko #lykoreview #lykoview #lykocreator #szczeraopinia #juliettehasagun #notaperfum #notaperfumesuperdose #cetalox #nicheperfume #luxuryperfume #perfumy #perfumyniszowe #esteelauder #benton #murad #institutesthederm #lancome #sensai #shiseido #versace #sisley #aromatica #faceformula #skincare #luxurycosmetics #toaletka #mojakolekcja #kosmetyki1 product in post Scent-ghost that stole my heart 🤍
- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekIt was supposed to be a hit, but it turned out to be a flop... 💔 My rating is a solid 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐ We're talking about Benton Vitamin C Serum, which was supposed to be a revolution in fighting pigmentation and dull skin tone. After a longer testing period, I have very mixed feelings about it. Although the product has its pluses in adding glow to the skin, it simply failed in the most important aspect. My skin is dry, mature, and I have slight pigmentation on my cheeks. For me, serum is the most important, most concentrated step in my entire skincare routine – it delivers active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the epidermis. Without it, the rest of the cosmetics, including regular cream, only work superficially. I reached for the vitamin C serum mainly to reduce my pigmentation. 🧴 Regarding the packaging, the product has a hygienic airless pump that protects the cosmetic from air exposure. This allows perfect dosing of the needed amount of product down to the last drop. Visually, the packaging looks very neat and aesthetic. The product itself has a thick, slightly milky emulsion consistency resembling a light cream. Under the influence of the warmth of hands and face, the serum becomes more fluid. However, it leaves a close, greasy film on the face and absorbs very slowly on me. 🔥 During application on the face, neck, and décolleté, a distinct, temporary warming sensation appears on the skin. This is a normal physical phenomenon because the serum has an anhydrous base and when it meets the natural moisture on the face, it releases heat. This effect disappears after a few seconds. At first, the scent of this serum is almost imperceptible, only after some time does it intensify. Minute by minute it becomes stronger and more characteristic, metallic. For me, it became so intense that I was forced to apply it only every third day, as only that frequency allowed me to use it. 🔬 According to the manufacturer's promises, this product is supposed to brighten pigmentation, even out skin tone, and stimulate collagen production. It contains: 20% pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – maximum concentration, which theoretically acts on pigment changes and can stimulate collagen production long-term. Ferulic Acid + Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – a dream duo that perfectly stabilizes vitamin C and enhances its protective effect against photoaging. Ectoin and Panthenol – ingredients that strongly strengthen the skin's protective barrier, deeply moisturize, and reduce the risk of irritation with such a strong acid. Glutathione and Adenosine – act strongly anti-wrinkle and reduce dull complexion. It's also worth checking the ingredients. In the INCI, you will find synthetic stabilizing polymers, which are commonly classified as liquid microplastics. They are safe in cosmetics and responsible for the creamy consistency, but if someone is looking for completely natural skincare, this is a big minus. The packaging states that the product should be used within 6 months of opening. Despite the passage of these 6 months, I was not able to use it up because it is incredibly efficient. Applying a small amount every third day, using up 30 ml is almost impossible for me. Using Benton vitamin C product, I did not notice spectacular effects. The skin was smoother to the touch, more radiant, maybe the serum stimulated collagen production, but I somehow did not notice it. Just as my pigmentation did not even slightly lighten. When we combine the lack of effect with the annoying metallic smell, greasy film, and presence of microplastics in the composition – the rating drops significantly, despite my fondness for this brand💔 🚨 When using vitamin C serum, always remember these rules: 1️⃣ Do not combine with retinol or AHA and BHA acids in one routine. 2️⃣ Keep a gap with niacinamide (at least 20 minutes) to avoid redness. 3️⃣ Always apply SPF 50 cream during the day, not only when using this serum. Did this serum also fail to deal with pigmentation for you?
