Yeah...I'll just put this here

Running Errands + Petticoat Review + Inspiration!

Today was errand day...sort of. I had to return library books and go by the post office to pick up a package. I decided to do my makeup today due to my looking at Queenie Ichigo (or Margarita Barret)'s photos this morning. I spent a good hour looking at her blog xD She inspires me to get better at coordinating outfits and doing my hair and getting in shape (seriously, her body is freakin GORGEOUS!)

She's also one of the models for Gal VIP, the new gaijin gyaru magazine that should be out in September ^^ One day I hope to be featured in the magazine *sigh* Her outfits...

So due to my inspiration, I dressed up Oneegyaru style!

I feel like I'm pretty damn good at this style. The makeup is simple and more natural than the Rokku style or other ones that require a lot of black eyeshadow/liner.

Anyway, I'll take this time to do a review on my newly received petticoat. Some of you may not know, but I am also into the Lolita fashion. I don't have a large closet but I do have a few staple pieces that I enjoy :D I just love poofy dresses!!

First off, I ordered the petticoat from Loli-Loli Paradise on Facebook. If I remember correctly, it cost me $50+? and it's the Classical Puppets Bell Shaped Petticoat (Super Fluffy) I ordered it...about May/June and it arrived the 12th of this month

It arrived in this paper package that was lined in plastic. The petticoat was packed inside a thin plastic wrapper.

Now the petticoat itself is SOFT AS FAWK! It's so smooth completely itch-free! The trim on the edge is in a lace design but it feels more like cotton or that tablecloth material you'd find at your gramma's house lol

It has a bunch of layers in it which makes it Super Fluffy. I can't get it to stand up on its own like in other people's photos cuz I'm a lame-o, but it is full. Now I'll show pictures of the petticoat on~~~

Here's a picture of a skirt (from Bodyline)with and without the petticoat (This skirt is thin and hence not very heavy)

Big difference, eh? Well, it's not a HUMONGOUS poof but I like the poof that is there :D btw, this is a cupcake shaped petti so it won't give you the "mature" A-line skirt look.

Now a with/without picture of the petti with a heavier skirt (also from Bodyline)~

I added the profile view because I feel like you can see the poof better from the side in this skirt rather than the front.

Alrightttt!!! That is all for today! I feel like I'm gonna post again later today, I'm gonna try to do a Cocona-inspired makeup since I never used the glitter eyeliner I bought xD

Happy Manba Day!

So yesterday, Chaudie hosted the third annual Manba Day and I participated :D Usually when I do it I dress up Manba style but this year I tried Banba. I think I may add this style to my arsenal lol once I perfect it. Hope you all had a great day! :D

Finally got some shopping done

It feels so good to shop -w- Especially since I haven't shopped since...May. I know that's not a long time, but it felt long. At first I was interested in buying clothing for the summer since I was getting tired of wearing dresses and feeling fugly in shorts, but now I think I'll focus on buying clothes for the upcoming fall and winter seasons :3 I prefer those seasons over fall and summer anyway lol (summer is too hot and spring SUCKS all kinds of booty due to the pollination and shizz. The doctor still says my nostrils are inflamed because of allergies and it's freakin summer)

My boyfriend is doing this super cute and oh-so-very kind thing of taking me shopping every weekend until August when I'll get a "super surprise" lol he's so cute and thoughtful ^^

So anyway, I got to buy a few things from Body Central, Icing, and Hot Topic. From BD I got this lace top and waist belt

I absolutely love the way the belt fits me. Makes me feel all tiny and fit lol I figured this would be a great top for Onee-gyaru ^^

I got these ear cuffs from Icing (which is like a more mature version of Claires, for those of you who don't know what that is)

Then I bought some accessories from Hot Topic for my Rokku gyaru style! Most of them were on clearance for no more than $4 except the handcuff chain belt and the glitter eyeliner lol

I saw Miyabi (Sukoa) use this glitter liner so I thought I'd buy it and try it since the glitter palette I bought two weeks ago kinda sucks seeing how the glitter doesn't stay on your eyes unless you put glue on them -_-

I also ordered two pairs of lenses. The i.Fairy Luscious Greys and the Kirei Browns

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM!!! xDD I figured, for me, grey lenses look great with my heavier rokku gyaru makeup and the browns would look natural enough with the onee gyaru make up which I need to work on more >_>'

Cuteness overload!!

I can finally make ringtones for my phone and have a cute theme on it!! :D it even came with this Big Bang comic-like lock screen x3
Okay thats all lol I need to stop dancing around my room and sleep

Hair Dye Experiment

What's up ya'll?
Yesterday I had a random impulse that I acted on and it was to dye the blond part of my hair a pastel purple! :D

I went to Walmart and bought Splat! Hair dye in Lavender (Picture are once again at the bottom of the post) it cost me $8 because it was on sale [regular price is about $10-$11] and also bought a 1 1/4 inch barrel curling iron, but that's for another post.
This is my first time dyeing hair a permanent color and I'd say this kit was easy to use but their gloves are flimsy.. I advise using latex gloves as oppose to the ones that come with the kit.

Anyway, I follow the steps but make a mistake. I either didn't put enough of the bleach in the hair, didn't leave it in long enough, or I did both. So this heavily affected how the color turned out. So I failed at the bleaching and proceeded to mix the color that came with the kit with some conditioner to lighten it [I ended up using a whole damn bottle of conditioner for 1/2 teaspoon of color! That stuff is heavily concentrated!] and the first time I applied it the hair just looked like it had a very light purple tint.

I went back and added more dye, said eff the pastel color I just want purple, and put the now darker shade of purple in the hair. Now the hair looks like it'll be a more saturated shade of lilac and I'm excited! But when I rinsed it out, it turned into a dusty pink color ._.

It doesn't look bad, but it's not what I was going for...*shrug*

Also, I apologize for the out of order pictures. This app kind of sucks when it comes to pictures.

Rokku Gyaru look!

Yoooo guys!
Yesterday I decided to try out the complete Rokku gal look! Now, I don't have a lot of rock clothes to do this so I had to do a bit of digging lol.
I found a green shirt that my mom gave me from a store called Buckle and it looked pretty damn rock style to me but it was lacking something...
So I cut out the collar of the shirt and cut slits in the sleeves! Then I found a pair of jeans that I experimented on a while ago trying to put rips down the front. I didn't quite like it so I just cut them into shorts.
(forgive me if my pictures are all at the bottom, I'm updating this from my phone >_<)
Then I tried a new hairstyle! That side brushed hair thing lol I remember seeing a few people do it before so I tried it myself. I didn't put gel or spritz in my hair, I just brushed it to the side because I never left my house and I saw no need for it. Then I did my makeup and blah blah.
Hope you enjoyed!
