My attempt at Gyaru Make up~

I've never done the whole circle lenses, eyeliner + lashes thing before, so I decided to have a go at it. Being as I've got nothing much to do today and wanted to have a go at it ^o^

What do you think?

I took photos of each step of make, so i might post like a photo tutorial thing if any of you are interested. I actually quite like the last photo lol. First time I've managed to put my hair in a high bun without it falling out. Used my SBYxRanzuki hairband ^o^

Not long now...

I've only got about 4 weeks left at work, and 5 weeks left at home before I move away for University. I'm really excited, but also sad about leaving soo many people behind. I've made good friends on my gap year, loads that'll be at my University. I'll miss my family and the people I work with the most. I've made good friends at work having been there for almost 3 years now, all my overtime meant I saw most people there every day I was in.

Almost got everything sorted. All I need now is the little things, eg Pots and Pans. I have my flat, my move in date and time... makes it all seem soo real all of a sudden. I'm looking forward to the freedom, especially getting more into Gal style. I can weat what I want and do make up in the way I want to without having people judge or ask me why. Plus I'll have more time to learn, and to do my hair etc lol

I want to decorate my room with some Gyaru-ish things. I might have to go to China Town before I leave on Sept 17th. My gloomy bear broke, so I need to get a new one hehe

Anyways, here's a recent picture of me in one of my favourite dresses.

[I'll do proper info on each of our posts in the future, but today I'm not feeling soo good :/ ]

First Heart of the Summer Necklace ♥

While I was entering in a contest here on Blogger, I came across this necklace.



I love it soo much! Handmade and really cute. I ordered it one day and it arrived the day after, which made me happy. Penny Masquerade, it's vintage style jewellery, there are soo many different items on her etsy. I want them all lol, but I'm not loaded so i'll make do with this necklace for now =] I plan on buying something else in the future, in the meantime why don't you take a look Click here.

Anyways, this is me just showing you what I bought and Introduce you to Penny Masquerade.

Eyeko is my new favourite make up brand!

[I tried to post this yesterday but blogger decided it wasn't having any of it! lol]

I bought some stuff from Eyeko on the 3rd and my box arrived on the 4th :D Fast delivery. They have loads of offers on at the moment if you spend over a certain amount, go check it out. Click Here

Everything came in a cute box with everything individually packaged ^o^

Here's what I bought:

I've been wanting the Vampira Polish for months. It's black varnish with red glitter in it giving that sparkly goth look. I've heard good things about Eyeko's nail varnish, the quality being really good. I haven't tried them out yet but when I change my nails from the Sweet Shop, I'll definately post some photos of the Vampira Polish on.

The Petite Polish was my free Item because I spent over £10. It's a cute colour and I can't wait to use it with some white patterns on top =]

I use up Mascara REALLY fast so I just had to buy this! I heard about Eyeko through their 'tubed' mascara. I think it was Bubz (Bubzbeauty on youtube) who first introduced me. I think that this different form of packaging is a plus, certainly draws you to it. I've been using it for a few days now and love it! It keeps my eyelashes curled for hours and with just a push of the finger when down, curled for longer. I'm not too keen on the brush cause it's thin, straight and causes it to clump sometimes, but if you have an eyelash brush, or a normal hair comb... that can be fixed easily. It's quite stubborn to get off, but that could be because I don't have a decent make up remover lol.

My unexpected buy was the Eyeko Cream. I don't usually buy things like this, but I wanted to boost up the order to get the free gift lol. It's a face cream which has a shimmer to it. A strong shimmer so it's prob best to mix with some moisturiser. Its good for highlighting, and it has vitamins in it to help your skin. There's more about it on their website haha.

There isn't much on their website at the moment, but I think over time when they become more popular they will start selling more items. Eyeko's becoming popular with some celebrities recently, so you never know. Hopefully it will expand soon. I'm looking forward to getting more stuff from them, I kinda like the look of the eyeliners =]

Picture from Yesterday~

I found a website with a list of stereotypical Asian poses here . I tried some of them out to see what they looked like and ended up with these. Sorry, they are in Black and White cause I used my laptop webcam and the picture isn't too good in colour on it lol Both photos were taken before full make up..... I have a habit of doing that lol. Next time there will be full makeup!

The salut pose.

Crying pose. :D

Sweet Shop nails

Just something simple for the weather. These are the sweet nail stickers that my friend got me from Hong Kong. I spoke about them a few posts back. I added some flowers from the bunch I got from Hong Kong a few years ago :D Im suprised they still stick after all this time.

I bought this nail varnish in London. I like it, it's just a light shimmer of gold. It's from INGLOT, number XL2. Cost me £7 straight from the store. Not too bad of a price to be honest, but a fortune compared to the ones I get from Asda.

Here's my hair for today. I tried tying a neck scarf on my head, but it looks a bit strange on one side because it's flat there. But I'll find a way to make it stick up more. I need to get hold of some ribbon so I can make some bows for my hair. Maybe an oversized one or two.

Ignore my face in the picture lol. I didn't have any makeup on. at all. I'm going to try doing some Gal make with my lenses. Around... 1.30pm ish, cause then my lenses wont get irritating until I get home from work.

The trouble with me and Gal

I'm finding it hard to try and stay Gal, if you know what I mean. It's difficult to get it right in the first place, then there's the whole keeping it going and up to date. With things like work and stuff it's near impossible to do.

Another issue is also weight, I'm not exactly skinny and sometimes it's hard to find cute clothes that suit my figure, I know there are other Gals out there that aren't your typical skinny, and my hat goes off to them cause I just can't seem to keep it up. These girls are an inspiration. I won't deny that I want to be skinny, but in order to work it off i need time... Which i don't have at the moment. I'm working like crazy. Another reason why I can't keep up the Gal style very well.

I've pretty much stopped doing my own nails recently, they just get damaged and chipped as soon as I get to work. I still like to curl my hair for work sometimes, just like i did yesterday. And add bows, usamimis etc. But it's still not quite enough. I need to properly learn how to do some of the Gal make that other gaijin gals do~ I don't wear my circle lenses really, I think thats mainly because i got the black ones because Tokyo Toys didn't have the colour I wanted in stock. But also, my shifts are longer than the recommended wearing time. I'm going to try wearing them at work today, maybe give myself a lil gal makeover so I can learn some make tricks.

Shopping is a problem too~ Well didn't seem like it while I was in London haha. Nevertheless, I have trouble trying to pick the right sort of stuff. I'm not good with coordinating, I used to be but now i've just lost the ability thanks to wearing
the same colour everyday for my uniform at work haha. I need to study a few magazines. Might get the ViVi's out :D

I want to get a straw hat, one of those flat ones that are seen on many gal models. I had a look in London while I was there, but I had no luck in finding one.

I need more inspiration and more drive to boost up my Gal stuff =(
