新しいポスト：Life Update

みなさん、こんにちわ！

久しぶりね？ごめんなさい　＞＿＜　とてもひまですよ〜　学校はむずかしいなりましたとあたらしい仕事がある。＜/p＞

In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to practice my Japanese lol, I hope I don't suck completely at it. I need to practice more so that I get better and pass this class, this semester is really hard for some reason :/ So I'm just going to update you on my life, since I really have nothing else to post about lol

I've entered my first semester as a senior in college, so not much longer until I graduate! Only issue is because I have a job now too (my first one! woo!) I can't find a good balance between studying and working because whenever I'm not working I'm tired and when I'm tired I can't retain any information that I read. to to mention most of my teachers are expecting a shit ton from me now that I'm in upper level classes. I have a bunch of papers to write, and maps to remember, and a shit ton of Japanese shit to know. I'm trying to get on top of my stuff but it's waaaaaaaay hard than I thought. Like, the day school started is when I was behind literally lol. I fear that I may not pass any of my classes this semester and that's going to put me behind and I'll never hear the end of it from my dad or my mom. *sigh* It sucks being pressured from yourself, school, AND parents, I just want to curl in a ball and never leave my house again like legit. I can't handle all this shit lol.

Other than that, my life is okay. Due to school and work I have no social life so that's cool I guess. I just want to spend all my days in bed when I have time off but I can't because my body's used to waking up at 8 everyday but my brain isn't, which makes for a very interesting day (not in a good way). I've also rekindled my love for gyaru so I feel more inspired to do my make up and stuff. I also changed my hair color like 5,000 times lol but as of yesterday I'm sticking with silver :3 Also I'm thinking about putting a texturized in my hair, my hair texture is too much for me to handle and doesn't blend at all with any wigs I can get. 4c hair is not the business -_-

Alsooooooo, I've been selected to participate in my local Harajuku fashion walk so that's exciting! I'm not sure what I'll wear, I was thinking of doing manba/banba but then I was like, "but I wanna try kurogyaruuuuuu" but I don't have any clothes that fit that look especially cuz it's getting cold :/ I dunno, I'll find something, I always do.

That's about it for me, how have you guys been? I *do* plan on updating more frequently instead of waiting half a year in between posts lol

Pic Tutorial: Pale Pink Manba/Banba Lips

Hello all! Today I've made a tutorial for how I achieved this lip color:

Before you begin to read, I want to clear up that near the end of my doing this I ended up going back and putting the concealer and lip gloss over all my lips because it looked weird this time and very uneven. If you like to keep it in the center of your lips then by all means do so!

Items I've used:

Now on to the tutorial!

*I have no idea why Blogger is turning this picture sideways, but I can't fix it for some reason so I apologize for that*

Hope you found it helpful! I plan to do more tutorials soon, I'm just unsure of what so if you have anything you'd like to see from me please leave a comment below and I will get onto that :)

新しい♡Review: Puffy 3-Tone Grey/ Royal Vision Macaron Grey

Hello all!

Today's review is on the puffy 3-tone grey circle lenses also known as Royal Vision Macaron Greys. I bought these lenses from LensVillage along with two other pairs of lenses that I will review as well (TheDollyEye Dreamy.i in brown and I.Fairy Hanabi red).

The bottle says that the lenses are 16mm with an 8.6 B.C but they seem more like a 14.5mm. The water content is 42% so they're kind of comfy, my eyes aren't used to wearing contacts yet so I just have to get used to it them again. The customer service from the store was good this time. It took them about a week to ship my order out after placing it but got to my house within 3 days from its shipping.

Here's what the lenses look like in lighting from my vanity. As you can see they are very very vibrant and I love them!

And here is the lenses in light coming from my window

RATINGS!

Comfort: ♡♡♡/♡♡♡♡♡

Color: ♡♡♡♡♡/♡♡♡♡♡

Enlargement: ♡♡♡♡♡/♡♡♡♡♡

If you're looking for lenses that are easily seen and have an enlarging effect I HIGHLY recommend these lenses for you :D

New Clothing!

Hey ya'll!

Today I went with my boyfriend to a really big ass thrift store in a completely different city than my own, and I'm so glad I did lol. My local thrift stores suck so much at finding clothes that I actually like and are actually more expensive than this one I went to today. But anyway I was so happy I found some clothes that I can wear to help me get into my banba and possibly manba style for the summer! I got 5 halter tops, 5 pair of shorts, 1 tank top, 1 skirt, and 2 dresses all for $50. The tank top I bought I'm altering so the straps cross in the front of my chest like most Japanese tank tops do and adding some kind of buckle so it stays in place and maybe doing something to the golden metallic skirt I bought...maybe.

Now tomorrow I'll work on my blonde and red wig so I have some bright hair to wear with my new clothes :D I just hope I don't mess it up or look stupid with platinum blonde hair on :/ Worst comes to worse I can just color it but...I really don't want to lol Guess I'll just have to keep tanning and get more brown so it won't looks so weird

I also plan on putting out more videos soon, or what I'm unsure. If you have any suggestions then please let me know, I'd love to help you out if I can :) OH! and I also need to change my layout. Summer's here so I think I need more color around here, don't you?

じゃ、またあした！

☆ 新しいREVIEW ☆ Princess Nudy Pink

Today's review is on... Princess Nudy circle lenses in Pink! I bought (Yes, BOUGHT) these lenses from Lensvillage. The page says that the diameter is 14.7mm with 38% water content. The shipping was pretty standard, it got to me within a month on regular shipping. They were on sale for $17, if I remember correctly but now they're on sale for $19.50. Now, I'm just gonna let you know now that I wouldn't recommend these lenses.

These are what the lenses look like with sunlight *on a cloudyish day* coming through a window far away from me. As you can see, they aren't pink at all. The limbal ring isn't at all evident and the color looks more like a dark reddish brown on my eyes. I have in one lens in my left eye and no lens in my right so you can see the enlarging effect (and because my other lens was being a doof so I couldn't put it in).

And here is what the lenses look like closer to a window. The only thing these lenses are good for is enlarging while adding just a tint of color, so if that's what you're looking for then these are the ones for you.

Comfort: ☆☆☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆

Color: -☆/☆☆☆☆☆

Price: ☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆

Enlargement: ☆☆☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆

This was pretty short lol but I think it's better that way, don't you think?

Now I'm just gonna post some random feel-good photos because I haven't done it in a while! I This hair I'm wearing is a wig I made last night and so far I'm diggin' it! :D

Sakura Matsuri Trip

Hello!

Here's a video of my latest trip to D.C for Sakura Matsuri~ Hope you all enjoy!

☆ 新しい Review : NARS Highlighting Blush Powder in Albatross ☆

I think I'm going to start labeling my reviews like this from now on lol it looks cute and I'm getting my eyeballs used to Kanji again (I start level II next week D:)

☆ S T O R Y T I M E ☆

An-t-way, I'm reviewing something that everyone and their ancestors seems to have. I've been wanting to try this highlighter for about a week and a half because I wanted to find something that would give me a lovely golden glow like I see on most dark skinned beauty gurus on YouTube. At first I bought the MAC Extra Dimension SkinFinish in Magnetic Appeal because the MUA at that station recommended it to me. Now, I bought it because it had a nice illuminating effect, very metallic and I liked how it looked on my skin for everyday use. Did it do what I was really looking for it to do? Nope. So I went to Target, Walmart, and even Bed, Bath, and Beyond to find a highlighter that was actually lighter than my skintone and made me ~GLOOOOOOW~

I, unfortunately, found only one thing and it was NYC Sun 2 Sun Bronzing Powder in Bronze Gold. This had a beautiful gold highlighter color alongside a bronzer that matched my skin tone. So when I got home to try it out I wasn't totally thrilled with it. The color shows up ever so faintly so if anything it just adds shimmer to my face. It would probably look better on someone of a deeper complexion than mine (which is one thing I envy about darker girls, highlighters look unrealistically beautiful on their skin).

So after researching I found out about two highlighters I really really wanted to try: The NARS highlighting blush and The Mary Lou Manizer by TheBalm. Since my local Sephora doesn't sell the Mary Lou Manizer I bought the NARS one (which I will be trading in tomorrow for a setting powder and buying the Mary Lou Manizer on eBay since it's cheaper and I really need a setting powder)

☆ A C T U A L ✿ R E V I E W ☆

**Before we continue, this product cost me $30...**

The products comes in a small compact (it's only 0.16oz/ 4.8g) and literally sits in the palm of my hand. The color looks like a goldish white in the case and on your finger when you swatch it.

When you put it on your skin though, it turns into a beautiful soft gold.

^ That's what it looks liked when I wiped my finger 3 times in the blush and wiped it on the back of my hand once. The more you blend it out the more golden it looks on the shine. This products DOES HAS SHIMMER IN IT but not enough to make you look like Edward Cullen.

^ This is when I blended the product out. It also blends easily, just a few flicks with the brush and it's done. The texture of this blush is smooth and soft, it doesn't have a chunky or chalky feel to it at all. I think all skin types would enjoy this product, even those with dry skin (just make sure to moisturize and prime your skin first then set with a setting mist) and I've been told that it's great for all skin tones as well especially those who are of color.

☆ R E V I E W ✿ D O N E ☆

As you may have read above, I plan on returning this products tomorrow and exchanging it for the new Makeup Forever HD Pressed Powder. Grrrrrrrl, I knew I should've just bought my blush and left but noooo, I had to browse around Sephora and see what else they had. I just so happen to see that they had a new setting powder instead of the kind that they have in a jar and I was like, "Let me stick my finger in this and see how it--," I was sold as soon as my skin made contact with the powder. It was the smoothest thing I've ever touched in my life besides my Num-Num's face. And no matter how many times I rubbed my finger in it, the powder never made my finger look like i was fingering a bag full of chalk (unlike the e.l.f setting powder *cough cough*) and the case was just...°˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ ° perfect. So I'm exchanging it for that and will be reviewing it for you all of course along with the Mary Lou Manizer whenever it gets in next week

Also, I'm not much looking forward to going back to school yet (-___-) If I fall off with reviews and videos you'll know what happened to me. But I'll try to keep up with the blog and revamp it too, this place needs some more color and a facelift.

じゃまた～
