Chit Chat and Simple Smokey Eye 🥰
Soft eyelids get a little extra space in this chit chat and makeup video, and no, I don't have any professional lighting and wasn't the least bit prepared, but if you have nothing better to do, take a peek, vetja! 😄🥰 (I'll also link the eyeshadow primer I'm talking about but not using in the video) #urbandecay #lhcosmetics #artdeco #nudestix #isadora #bbia #kerastase #umbertogiannini #bagliora #maybelline18 products in the look Chit Chat and Simple Smokey Eye 🥰1277 viewsto leave a comment - 2 weeks
Improvised Quick Styling
I air-dried my hair last time I washed it, so today my hair was like "half-shaved with sporadic fall", meaning neither good straight hair nor good curly hair. I didn’t feel like getting my hair completely wet, but still wanted to do something, so I sprayed my hair damp with water, but not as wet as one "should" if you want the best curls. If you want thicker curls, meaning to counteract frizz and thin curls that separate into even smaller, you should spray/dampen the hair to "dripping"/soaking wet to form "clumps" (there's no good word in English, but clumps means thicker collections of hair in each "curl" type) to scrunch the product into. So I basically did the opposite of what one "should"... but I thought it would be fluffier than defined, and that’s better than before at least 😜 I scrunched in #happycrazymine lock-gel (I see it more as a cream though), gel from #umbertogiannini and mousse from #tigi (not a product combo I normally use and reverse order of gel and mousse 😅) I dried a bit sporadically with the diffuser (the funnel) on the blow dryer, and when all the skinny curls were dry, I scrunched out the hard/stiff from the curls with the oil from #kerastase. I’ve seen better, I’ve seen worse ☺️ If someone else looks, they probably won’t notice a bigger difference than usual. I see that the curls are more/thinner and will probably notice the difference in durability the most, I think, but that’s negligible. Now I’m sitting in the city enjoying the late summer sun with a coffee, and my hair still looks totally okay. Linking the makeup too! Today I’m using no. 2 on my top list of CC creams; Isa Dora’s CC cream. Skincare from Filorga 🥰 #filorga #isadora21 products in the look Improvised Quick Styling4783 viewsto leave a comment - 4 weeks
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 favorite9803 viewsto leave a comment - 4 weeks
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! 🥳 - 1 month
Freshen up the curls day two
Yesterday I posted my entire styling routine and I think you can join in on today's refresh of what we did yesterday! 🤩 The post from yesterday is among my “looks” on my profile here on Lyko social if you're curious. Besides the products used today, I also had heat protection and a little spray yesterday. Sometimes I freshen up the curls with just mousse and sometimes it becomes a whole procedure with lots of water, mousse, gelée, etc., it depends on what condition the hair is in and what I used before. I usually don’t need to do much more than what I do today when I’ve had these products, they are great! Some other ones require more moisture, product, and heat. #curly #wavyhair #curlyhair #beachwaves #umbertogiannini #kerastase#vågigthår #dag2hår3 products in the look Freshen up the curls day two3217 views- 1 monthThanks for the super tips! 🥰 I didn't know that you have a less curly side, I thought it was just me 😂 So good to know ☺️1 likes

That's why I want stiff curls. First 😊
For me with a slightly weaker curl pattern (2 a-c) it's gold when the mousse and gel give a stiff surface to the curls as they dry! Why then? Well, it's not because I want them to stay hard, but because when I scrunch out the hard, the curls will hold their pattern better since they previously set in this pattern 🤩 In the video, I show how I do it when I scrunch out the hard from the curls along with a bit of hair oil. "The wet look" disappears, the hair gets more volume, and the curls become bigger and softer. I should really START by filming a video of my routine when I handle my hair from the wash and up to HERE, but I always stand in the shower when I think of it (And naked videos are not something I deal with 😅), but one day I will prep and fix it so I can show how I do 😘💕 #umbertogiannini #kerastase #curlyhair #curlygirl #lockar #vågor #wavyhair #beachhair3 products in the look That's why I want stiff curls.

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 Eye2034 viewsto leave a comment - 1 month
Mousse for beach waves 🌊
I'm going to work 👮🏼 and my hair is going to be put up, but for now, it has a bit of a wet look ☺️ I didn't feel like blow-drying it or drying the curls, so today I tried to scrunch in Umberto Giannini's mousse into the lower half of my hair and will let my hair air dry. The idea is that it should be easy to get the hair flat against my head while the ponytail gets a bit of life and structure from the waves/curls.. So far, it feels nice! They get a bit hard at first, but when the curls are completely dry, I scrunch them with my hands and they become soft while still holding their shape. I don't have any oil to scrunch them out with today, but I sprayed in a bit of shine spray so they keep their luster. I'm also putting in the products for the makeup base, I can't fit in more! Have a nice evening! #umbertogiannini #isadora #itcosmetics5 products in the look Mousse for beach waves 🌊 - 1 month
Doesn't putting it up ruin the curls?
It hurts a little in the soul to put the hair up when you have a good hair day and get cute curls around the face… but does putting the hair up really ruin the curls? I've come to the conclusion that the answer is “njae” 🙂 because it really depends on which products I use. I have products that make the curls give up and look like I've been out at the bar all night, already on day two, but I showed in the last post how my hair looked when I used these products and slept one and two nights with my hair in a ponytail on top of my head (big scrunchy or similar), and today I trained, so I’m making sure to show how my hair looked before training, the ponytail under 1 hour of cross trainer + stretching and finally how my hair looked when I let it down after the shower. (In the shower, I clamped the ponytail with a clip on my head so it wouldn’t get wet. Of course, there is SOME change when you put the ponytail up, but I am very surprised (and impressed) by how the hair with these products returns to the waves when it is let down again. The products really boost the structure of the curls, and as long as it doesn’t get wet, the pattern seems to stay. Now I’m off to work and putting my hair up again 👮🏼 Have a nice weekend #umbertogiannini #kerastase #curlyhair #lockar #vågor #curlygirl3 products in the look Doesn't putting it up ruin the curls?4251 viewsto leave a comment - 2 months
1st test with Umberto Giannini's products
I have tested some budget brands to enhance my curls/waves, but the ones I tried haven't really lived up to expectations. Now I ordered the mousse and gel from Umberto Giannini, and the price is definitely appealing. I read that Cantus leave-in conditioner is supposed to be quite heavy, so I used it as a mix of conditioner and leave-in, meaning I didn't rinse everything out, so product was still left in my hair when I scrunched in the mousse and then the gel. I also sprayed in heat protection since it doesn't seem to be in any of the other products. Then I went over my hair with the diffuser and let the last part dry on its own. The fact is that the pictures are actually from day TVÅ. So I have slept with my hair in a loose bun on top of my head, and the only thing I did today was scrunch out the “crunchet” from the gel with a bit of hair oil (don't be afraid that the curls will be stiff from the gel, you just have to scrunch it out later. Crunchet is your friend if you, like me, don't have such strong curls 🙌🏼💕) I am impressed! I might just be having a really good hair day, but it could also be that there's a reason you hear about the products! It looks promising, and I will return with a review when I have tested it more times! Too bad I have to go to work and put my hair up in a bun now 😅 I love the little curls by the face though 💕 #umbertogiannini #cantu #bylyko #kerastase #curlyhair #wavyhair #självfall #lockigthår #beachwaves (By the way, this is the SHORT description of the whole routine… it’s a whole science in everything with separation, how to scrunch the curls, how much to dry, and microfiber towels and stuff… I have some older posts where I describe what I do.
