Lyko Tise profile
Lyko has a profile on Tise. I just found out about this, but I think it's super great. They sell several products that can't be sold in stores and online for a reason. You can buy things much cheaper. I checked it today since I found out about it through a friend today. Everything is sold out so far, but I have set up alerts so I get notified when things come there. I will post on my story if I buy something or they get more in. This is really great since it's much more environmentally friendly. I think all products/brands/stores should do this (many already do). Imagine getting a loose powder milk from Make Up Store for $99 when the original price is $199 just because it's without packaging. 👏 ❤️🫶❤️81 views - The post was made 1 day
Five things you’re most likely doing that are damaging your nails
1. You forget oil (especially with fake nails) Many think that cuticle oil is just for 22finish 22, but it’s actually critical for durability. 22 The mistake: Letting the nails dry out under acrylic or gel. 22 Why: When your natural nail gets too dry, it shrinks a little and loses its grip on the artificial product. This leads to 22lifting 22 and the fake nails falling off faster. Oil keeps the natural nail flexible. 2. You 22peel 22 off the nail polish or gel We’ve all probably done it – started picking when the polish loosens at the edge. 22 The mistake: Pulling off gel polish or fake nails yourself. 22 Consequence: Every time you peel something that’s stuck, you pull off the top layer of your own nail. This makes the nails thin as paper and extremely fragile. Always use acetone or have it removed professionally. 3. You cut the cuticles It’s tempting to remove the little edge of skin at the bottom of the nail to get a 22clean 20 look. 22 The mistake: Cutting into the cuticle itself. 22 The solution: The cuticle is there to protect the nail root from bacteria and infections. If you cut it, you risk inflammation and uneven nails. Instead, gently push them back with a cuticle pusher after a shower. 4. You skip base coat Many skip this step to save time when painting their nails themselves. 22 The mistake: Applying colored polish directly to the natural nail. 22 Result: The pigments in the polish (especially red and blue) seep into the nail and leave yellow or discolored spots. The base coat acts like double-sided tape that both protects the nail and helps the color adhere better. 5. You use your nails as 22tools 22 This might be the most common habit that damages both natural and fake nails. 22 The mistake: Using your nails to open bottle caps, scrape off stickers, or pick at things. 22 Advice: Think of your nails as jewelry, not tools. Instead, use your fingertips or a knife/spoon to open things. This prevents small cracks that later lead to the nail breaking completely. ❤️💅❤️103 views - The post was made 2 days
5 Hair Mistakes You're Most Likely Making
1. Wash the scalp, not the ends Many make the mistake of scrubbing the entire hair with shampoo. Shampoo is designed to remove oil and product buildup from the scalp. When you rinse out the shampoo, the soapy water that runs down will be enough to cleanse the lengths without drying them out. 2. Use conditioner the right way Conditioner should only be used on the lower two-thirds of the hair (from the ears down). If you use conditioner on the scalp, the hair will look greasy and flat faster. Let it sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing well with lukewarm water. 3. Limit heat styling Blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons are extremely damaging to hair strands. • Let your hair air dry as often as possible. • Always use heat protectant spray if you must use heat tools. • Lower the temperature on the tool; you rarely need maximum heat to achieve the desired result. 4. Don’t brush wet hair (unless it’s curly) Hair is at its most vulnerable and elastic when wet, making it break more easily. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wet hair (like a "Wet Brush") to gently detangle while you have conditioner in the shower. 5. Sleep on silk or satin A cotton pillowcase creates friction that can lead to frizzy hair and split ends. By switching to a silk or satin pillowcase, the hair glides more easily over the surface. It also retains moisture in the hair better throughout the night. These are 5 very common mistakes that many make. Comment if you want tips on things you can do instead or products I recommend. I’m not an expert on this, but I learned these as I know someone who is a trichologist, a specialist in hair and scalp. The products I’ve added here are products I use. I love all of them. All the products have helped my hair so much. Just saying they don’t necessarily help your hair. But for me with blonde Scandinavian hair, quite flat and smooth, these work really well. ❤️👋❤️6 products in post 5 Hair Mistakes You're Most Likely Making163 views - The post was made 3 days
Batiste
Heiiii. I'm back after New Year's Eve. Happy New Year everyone!!✨ I have bought Batiste hairspray from Lyko. It's in an H&M bag since I was out shopping, had the H&M bag and didn't feel like buying another bag at Lyko. I bought three different ones because they were on sale and I love the brand. It might not make sense to buy three, but too late. I bought Heavenly volume dry shampoo. Haven't tried it yet, but I'll post a review when I have tried it. 💜 The other one I bought is Blonde Color dry shampoo. It’s supposed to hide roots and give you a nice golden color in your hair. This is of course only for those who are blonde. Haven't tried this one either, so I'll post a review when I get to try it. 💛 The third and last dry shampoo I bought is Blush Flirty Floral dry shampoo. 🩷 I have actually tried this one. It helps soooo much. I love it. The only thing is that since it has a scent, I got a weird mix with my perfume. But when I used a little less perfume😅, it turned out really well. My hair smells good and looks good. The nice thing is that you don't have to use this to skip washing your hair or if you have greasy hair. You can use it just for a nice scent in addition to getting a little more volume and pretty hair. Not a lot of volume, but it becomes a bit more lively in a way. This is 9/10, strong nine!!💪🌶️🥵 Batiste has super good dry shampoo, they are very good and budget-friendly. I follow them here on the Lyko app and will let you know if they release new products. Bye and Happy New Year. Buy Batiste if you're looking for dry shampoo. No matter your budget, Batiste fits. They have lots of different ones, both with and without scent. For volume and anti-frizz. They have Blonde, Brunette, and Dark. They have sensitive. They have everything!🥰💜🩷💛3 products in post Batiste872 views - The post was made 6 daysRating: 5 out of 5

Five things you should avoid when applying makeup
1. Skipping skincare (prepping) Many apply foundation directly on dry or untreated skin. If the skin isn't moisturized, the makeup will often "crack", settle into fine lines, or look flaky. Instead, do this: Cleanse your face and apply a good moisturizer (and sunscreen) before you start. Let it absorb for a few minutes before you begin to apply makeup. (Young skin doesn't need much cream, often just sunscreen) 2. Using dirty brushes and sponges This is perhaps the most common mistake. Old product residues in the brushes make it impossible to blend the makeup nicely, and even worse: it's a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause pimples and irritation. Instead, do this: Wash your makeup sponge often (preferably every time you use it with liquid products), deep clean your brushes at least once a week. 3. Testing foundation color on the palm The skin on your hand often has a completely different color and undertone than your face and neck, because hands get more sun. If you choose a color based on your hand, you often end up with a "mask effect". Instead, do this: Test the color along your jawline. The right color should "disappear" into both your face and neck. 4. Applying too much product at once It's much harder to remove makeup than to add more. If you apply a thick layer of foundation or concealer at once, it often looks unnatural (cakey). Instead, do this: Work in thin layers. Start with a little, and add more to the areas that need extra coverage. 5. Pumping the mascara wand in and out Many "pump" the wand quickly in and out of the tube to get more product on the brush. This pushes air into the container, which makes the mascara dry out much faster and collect bacteria. Instead, do this: Gently swirl the wand inside the tube to pick up product. These are tips I've learned myself, and I've also checked online that approve of these methods. I've tried to triple-check everything so I don't say anything that isn't true.

I ❤️ Ole Henriksen
I bought the lip treatment from Ole Henriksen, got Vanilla which is completely clear. I have fallen in love with using a pink lip liner and clear lip gloss. I used to use a lip balm from Elf with a mint scent, but it was so small that I used it up quickly. This one from Ole Henriksen has been recommended to me by friends who have other scents. I have a friend who said she put it on her lips at night, and by the next morning, the sores she had on her lip were much smaller. I haven't tested it myself, but I love how it looks. It's not stringy and the gloss lasts a long time. I recommend trying a lip liner in a color you like, and also getting clear lip gloss. Ole Henriksen's is not lip gloss, but it works just as well as gloss, if not better. 9/10 It got stringy, but I think I took too much. When I just took off a little bit, it was super good. Highly recommended. I have friends who love the others too, one friend who thought the yellow one, she loved the color. A friend who has the pink one, it's very pretty. 🤩1831 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
Love this!!!❤️
Love cc cream. It gives me a nice color on my face. I often get visible red spots after pimples have started to disappear. Cc cream covers the red very well. I use concealer on top and then the spots are completely gone. Highly recommended❤️🫶1 product in post Love this!!!❤️373 views - The post was made 1 week

Camilla Phil bronzer brush
My absolute favorite bronzer brush, Camilla Phil's is compact and nice. It is super soft and blends bronzer very well. I am super satisfied. Unfortunately not bought from Lyko as I received it as a gift. But the one I was thinking of buying myself is from Lyko. It has two brushes which I thought was very smart. Love this brush, highly recommended. ❤️🫶🤌
