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

Got a feeling for straight hair yesterday and everything is more fun to try when the color on my hair is still new to me 🤗. So far, I'm really enjoying the shade! Heat protection: Beat the heat #BYLYKO, Ultime elixir oil #kerastase Finish: Moon landing anti humidity spray #RCO, shine spray #lernbergerstafsing

Sleek look without sticky wax on my hands and spray that only lets the baby hairs on my forehead pop up? Yes, it works! If I want a really shiny look that will hold for a night out at the club or a dance show, I gladly use “hardcore wax” and brush it thoroughly into my hair, but if I'm going to work and want a more everyday look that’s quick, the R+Co Dart pomade stick is wonderful! Here I’ve brushed my hair back and put it up (dry) and then pulled with the stick from the front and back. Then I used the “Fly away tamer” from Björk, which is like a mascara brush with a formula that’s a mix between a thinner gel and hairspray, and brushed at the hairline to further tame the baby hairs. After that, I sprayed a bit of finishing spray from R+Co, and more than that isn’t needed. The hair isn’t hard, but the hairstyle is still durable. Taming requires a bit more than just the surface with the brush but is easy to brush out so it doesn’t make the hair dirty. I can also use it sometimes when I have a regular ponytail or as gel. Have a nice Wednesday! Soon it’s Friday 😉 #RCO #BJÖRK

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

The autumn sun is shining and it's time for fika in the city! Here are tips on three products that I hold high in the hair and makeup world! ☀️ If the hair is going to be washed later the same day, I use "regular" wax for a sleek look. It holds best, and I’m not going to sleep with it anyway, so it won’t dirty the pillow. If I’m going to wash my hair like tomorrow (like today 😌), I go for a slightly lighter hold and use Dart (wax stick) from R&Co and Tämja from Björk. Dart is a relatively light wax that works well when you want to quickly fix a "sleek look" on slightly larger areas. You drag the stick over the hair and get shine and hold. I then complement it to tame the smallest and most stubborn, movable strands with Tämja, which is a gel with a "mascara applicator". Tämja does quite well on its own, but when it’s large areas, it takes a lot of product, hence the combination with the Dart stick. You can also lightly spray with finishing spray, but I skipped that today! 🤗 The third love is my new shade of Boss gloss from By Lyko 💕 I love the light pink shade that is visible but discreet. I have Pinkosaurus from before, which is a bit darker, and I like the feel, consistency, and durability. The only downside is that the applicator is a bit small. Hope you have a lovely Saturday! 🤖🏽 #RCO #BJÖRK #BYLYKO
