Final hair (was a while ago now though)

Here's what my hair looked like when I finally got all of the blonde done.

Trying not to laugh in that last one :)

As you can see I haven't been wearing Gyaru make up recently. I'm out of practice, it's been a while since i've been gyaru at all. I've just faded out of it, but i'm on my way back guys, don't you worry.

My hair's kinda growing out at the moment. I really need to get it done again, I hate my ginger roots lol I literally have no money at the moment, so it'll have to wait for a bit.

I'm going to plan some blogs to do so that I don't fade off the radar again. I've missed you all~

Everything a Western Gyaru Needs: My Top 5 Shopping Websites

Japan Centre - Whats a gal without inspiration lol The Japan Centre is basically my hub for Japanese goods. They have many magazines, loads of Gyaru ones. The prices are a little bit high but totally worth it :D I always spend a fortune with them. They also sell food, snacks, drinks, books, manga, study materials, gifts and home goods. I highly recommend you visit the site and see their vast collection for yourself~

Tokyo Toys - This is where I buy my circle lenses. They're reliable and affordable. Fast delivery too~ They have an actual shop in London, so if you're ever around Piccadilly Circus, head into the Trocadero Shopping Center on Coventry street. They sell loads of anime and manga goods as well as Japanese sweets and cosplay goods.

Uniqlo - I love Uniqlo clothing! A lot of their stuff is plain block colours so it's good for accessorising. They also do seperate collections for Disney, Hinano Yoshikawa, Metal Gear Solid etc. Their prices are fairly cheap but the quality is amazing!

Eyeko - Make up etc. They have a great pen eyeliner, big eyes mascara which I mentioned in a previous post. Their nail varnishes are of good quality and don't chip easily. Some items you can get cheaper elsewhere but eyeko's pakaging is sooo cute~ They always have offers and free gifts if you spend over £10.

Artbox - They sell cute things to decorate rooms, cushions, stickers, stationery etc. I love buying from them, their designs are adorable with pandas, hearts, bows and many others. The prices are cheap and they have soo much stuff. They came in very handy for me going off to uni. As I've showed you here, i've bought a lot of things from them for University. I've done about 3 orders with them so far, usually around 10 items a time. The delivery is super fast, and you can choose 2 different delievery types. fast or super fast lol.

Ranzuki Oct Issue, My Birthday and New Stuff

My Japan Centre order arrived yesterday... finally. I had to wait for another week because Ranzuki wasn't in stock. But I'm glad I waited for the next issue, because I got the best free gift ever! Lashes! I've been meaning to buy some new ones over the past few days because mine are getting a bit blergh from using too much. Not only did I get top lashes with Ranzuki, but BOTTOM lashes too!!! YAY (^o^)!~

Me and my brother did a spot of shopping yesterday too when we went to get him some passport photos for University. There's a little shop in the town near me that just sells hair accessories, jewellery and photo frames. It's completely colour coded too, you can literally walk from one side of a rainbow to another lol They sell contact lenses, but not Circle ones. Here's what I bought using their buy 2 get 2 free deal.

The little red bracelet didn't have a tag, but it was only £3.50 so i wasn't too bothered. I love the necklace! The clasp to do it up is a bit strange and difficult to get used to, but the way it looks makes up for it haha. The hair bows were quite expensive to be honest. £6.99 each :/ But they sure look awesome. I'll have to take a photo of me wearing them at some point. Maybe from the parties at Uni.

I like the little dragonfly on it ^^

In my Japan Centre order I also got my kanji books. Basic Kanji Book Volume 1 & 2. I have to use them for the first few terms at Uni. I searched for ages trying to find the cheapest place to find them and Japan Centre came up the best. Only £25 instead of £35.

Oooo! I got this mini dressing gown for the Slumber Party at Uni. I didn't want to go clubing in full pjs so i'll just team this up with a vest top, leggings and heels.

As a few people know it was my birthday on Tuesday. This was the lovely card my brother got me ^o^

Delayed Japan Centre Haul Post

Hey, I'm sorry this took soo long to do, but in all honesty I've had the photos on my laptop for over a month I just forgot about them haha. So here's what I got from the Japan Centre last time I ordered.

I bought my usual favourites Ranzuki and Popteen, but I also love getting Seventeen now and again because they give free gifts almost every month ^o^ For example I got this bag this month.

Here's what else I bought. I needed a cute pair of chopsticks to pop in my handbag. The amount of times I've gone out and bought noodles and had to eat it with a fork >_<>_<>


Java Curry!!!! Just YUMMY!! This ones not soo hot so I love it. I've gone off spicy food a lot recently. Or I guess just food in general lol. Anyways, I'm going to have this curry with some noodles later. yum yum ^o^

Mugi cha, I love this stuff. I tried it in Brighton once and been hooked ever since. It's barley tea which can be drunk hot or cold. I prefer it hot to be honest. It's very nice, i recommend it!

All in all that's what I bought. I need to make a HUGE order before I go to University, just essential J-food stuff, and perhaps a new dictonary, magazines and maybe some new flash cards.

My love for TFE and The Japan Centre

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated recently. I've been at work everyday since last Thursday. I'll have the day off on Friday, so I'll catch up with the blogs I was planning on doing.

I've just ordered a load more stuff from The Japan Centre, incuding 3 magazines. Popteen, Ranzuki and Seventeen. I wonder if I get any free gifts with them this month ^o^ If I do I will show you what I got. I also ordered some mugicha <3 and a cute pair of chopsticks with a case. There was more than that, But I can't remember what I put on the order haha. I should hopefully find out on Friday.

What's TFE you ask? Well it's Tokyo Fashion Express. A show on NHKworld, completely about fashion. I love this show, It helps me keep up to date with the fashion world, and especially the fashion from Japan. It shows more than just clothes though. There's accessories, interior design, arcitecture. A variety. NHK is sky channel 516 if you are interested in watching it, Tokyo Fashion Express is on every Tuesday.

I'm working again today, so there's a slim chance there will be another post, but I will try. I need to get to work on some tutorials, artistic stuff etc I've got to make another bunny headband for my friend before she gets back from her holiday, so perhaps I'll do a tutorial on that ^o^
