Manba Makeup Tutorial!

Hello guys!

Sorry I've been away again, I find it hard to juggle blogging/youtube with studying. I'm at my last year in college and it's a very fast paced course, I'm learning so much and I am looking forward to qualifying and eventually specializing as a masseuse. I'm so glad I've finally found my goal in life! I want to go to Uni next year or very soon to study the Japanese language, but I need to get onto my own feet first. :3

So anyway, I recorded a manba/ganguro makeup tutorial yesterday, I really enjoyed doing the makeup, I thought it kind of suited me! haha!

When I went on to edit the video on my laptop it was lagging like crazy, I don't even know how I managed to edit the video. I literally just guessed where to put all the captions, it was a nightmare! I think it's time I got a new video editing software. I would use Sony Vegas if it wasn't so complicated >.>

I used some pictures I found on tumblr and instagram as refrences, hence why I kept glancing down throughout the video. Oh and the wig is a wig I was using for a Felicia cosplay, haven't gotten around to actually wearing it, but I plan to at the May expo :3

Here's a closeup of the eye makeup (the colours are a bit washed but hey):

The contacts are GEO Angel Blue, I should get around to reviewing them as I've been wearing them since may for my Viera cosplay.

Weeee, Versatile Blogger Award! (yay!)

So firstly, I really want to thank Crystal for giving me this award. I've never had anything like this before, so thanks again, I really appreciate it! :D <3

Rules

- If you are nominated, you have been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award 

-Thank the person who has given you this award. That's common courtesy 

- Include a link to their blog. That's also common courtesy 

- Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you have recently discovered or follow regularly 

- Nominate those bloggers for a Versatile Blogger Award 

- Finally, tell the person who has nominated you 7 things about yourself

So shichi interesting things about me...

1. I have been teaching myself japanese since last year february on and off. (A long time I know) And I have since forgotten most of the vocabulary *slaps self*

2. OCD...OCD...OCD. I have some really weird ones. I can't sleep at night if I don't brush my teeth for exactly 5 minutes on the dot. Also if I'm awake at midnight can't brush my teeth at 12.01am because its too far into the next day already. 

I wash my hands 20+ times everyday, if I don't I can't concentrate or sleep knowing that I've touched something. Even if its a clean work surface, I won't touch it without washing my hands v.v

3. I'm a trained beautician/beauty therapist and I want to open my own japanese styled salon in London one day :3

4. I am an extreme gamer girl. I play video games so extremely that my eye is always twitching xD

5. I am very clumsy. My worst week of clumsiness had to be when I broke 2 mirrors and two of my mums new plates and1 bowl in the space of 42 hours. You should not bring me into a house full of valuables lol

6. I really really reaaaaaally want to go to America! I really want to eat the food, even though the fast food does look pretty greasy and fattening, I could die for one of those huge, greasy, fatty, cheesy, meaty, bready tower burgers. Let's not forget that I also want to visit Japan one day :3

7. Now for a weird one, hope you're ready for this. I have a phobia of bubbles. Yes bubbles. Bubbles as in...bath time bubbles, bubbles for cleaning dishes and just hordes of bubbles in general. I can't even look at them without feeling seriously anxious. They just look so horrible when they're all like stuck together and BLEGH!

I don't know/follow 15 bloggers to nominate so until then.... o.o

Just updating....

Hello guys,

Sooooo.....As you may have noticed I do disappear occassionally from all types of social networking, I don't post as much as I used to.
I've been super busy with putting the finishing touches to my cosplay, looking for a job and helping my mum plan her wedding.
I'm starting to think I should do vlogs and stuff, just do keep everything up to date. But I also need to blog about things that are close to home for me. I feel like I have much to write about but I just end up not doing it. >.>

-----------------------------

Anyway, I have lots of photos and stuffies to post here, so keep reading :3

These are two different eyeliner styles I've been wearing lately :3

On another note, I was thinking of changing my hair back to red. These photos are from 2012:

Whilst I like how the red looks, I'm also in love with the purple in my hair aswell. Choices choices.... ;_;

-----------------

I'm planning on filming another requested tutorial soon, and also a haul video. I also want to record a makeup video for my cosplay, but time is always of the essence and I never seem to have much of it lol.

On another note I've lost 5lbs. I started eating healthily and exercising more. Lately I've slipped out of exercising though lol, I tried pilates and literally fucked myself up xD

But on that note, I think if I continue then I will hopefully get a nice toned body. I also want to start taking martial arts classes so I also have some kind of fitness hobby outside of everything else I do, and so I also have some form of self defense. I get lots of creepy men following me around when I'm in the street.
Would rather be safe than sorry :3

I'm gonna wrap this up right here, I will post again very soon about something that has been bothering me >.>

I'm 18 tomorrow! :D and OOTD

Hello everyone! Howdy?

Hope you are all having/had a good valentines day!

Week old photo is a week old xD

Today I had a mini shopping spree for an outfit for my birthday. :3
I'm going to a family resort for 3 nights...which would be my 12th time going there lol.

So, what are some interesting things I bought?

Well I went into Superdrug and they were selling these GOREGOUS Japanese style acryllic nails.

These are the ones I'm going to wear:

Aren't they beautiful? :'D

Also, I got some false eyelashes and a few bits of makeup :)

THERES NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY FALSIES! xD
And I'm still on the hunt for some bottom eyelashes because I keep on losing mine. So hopefully when I get there I can find some substitute bottom eyelashes :3

-------------------

This was my outfit for the day. I didn't wear any jewellery on my hands because I put my hands in my fluffy pockets when I go outside :3

 I did a different style of makeup today, I don't usually use white eyeliner like this, but I thought I would give it a try and I really like it. :3

I also tried on some Black lipstick! Haha, I kind of like how it looks xD

        

-----------------------------------------

Soooooooo, I was requested to do a Manba or Ganguro look and a simple gothic gyaru look :3
I can't wait to do the Ganguro one!

So, I will be posting my outfits and stuff on Tumblr and Instagram since I'm not going to pay for the Wi-Fi at the hotel room, and I'm not taking my laptop. So I'll keep you updated on those sites.

I know this is a short post, but I'm currently packing my suitcase! :D

Goshikku/ Visual kei Gyaru Makeup Tutorial

Heya guys!

My hiatus seemed to be short lived lol, but I am on a break still xD

I got bored and I decided to record it. It wasn't planned at all but I am happy now that I have done it.

I even recorded a voice over for it but I couldn't get the bloody file to work. If anyone knows where I went wrong, please let me know. The file was a .vga file :3

This is a heavier style of makeup, so I know it's not for everyone, but I do hope it proves to be useful to any gothic gals out there :D

I've been wearing my lenses like this for the past couple of weeks and I can't get enough of it. Infact I've never even worn the left green contact before LOL

--------------------------------

Makeup used:

FACE: 

Sleek: Concealer, Foundation, Contour + Highlight and Blush

EYES & EYEBROWS:

Dark grey eyeshadow

Sleek: Jet black eyeshadow

Barry M: Red Dazzle Dust

Sleek highlight (brows)

So ya, I hope you enjoy this tutorial. I still think its a shame about the voice over thing not working, because I don't like typing the instructions v.v

From now on I will take requests for Makeup tutorials. Just leave a comment below about what you would like to see me do :3

I TRIED SO DAMN HARD NOT TO SNEEZE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO! LOL

I am on a short hiatus! + Xmas pics

This post is going to be a little bit of a personal rant and a positive festive ending xD
------------------------------
Hiya guys!

Sorry I haven't really been active lately. As you may or may not know, I always complain about feeling ill, and right now I am feeling literally rock bottom.
I'm losing weight rapidly after working sooooo hard to gain the weight from when I was severely underweight with the same problem.
So once again everything has been put on hold. College, social life, going out, everything! D:<

I HATE IT SO BAD!

But hopefully after I get my blood test results back, the docs will be able to get to the bottom of this.
For four years I was told I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), but I have always known is more than that.
I have a constant struggle with food, I can't eat anything without getting the worst nausea/sickness, bad cramps, the plops (you know >.>) and gas in the planet.

So I just thought, you know what, F*CK IT! I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH! D:<

The new doctor thinks I have a few food allergies, which I think sounds quite accurate. If this is true then I can finally be put on medication and live a normal life once again which I haven't experienced since late 2008.
This whole time I have just been grinning through the pain, but I can't cope with it anymore. Four years is too many and I want to go and make friends :<

All of this kerfuffle, has left me with SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), since the same problem almost forced me to quit school when I was 14, which meant I didn't really have time to build on my social skills. Luckily I managed to get grades in school, which I am quite proud of, despite of being in and out of hospital for a year.

I'm also proud of myself for doing that para para dance on christmas despite feeling rough :3 *pats myself on the back*

Anyway, I think that's all for today. So now you know why I haven't posted anything in a while, but I do plan on making a lip colour tutorial soon since I'm a week over due with it anyway ;>.>
And whilst I've been at home, I've been working on a Salve-Maker Viera cosplay for the MCM expo in May aswell, It's coming on nicely and I will take pictures/videos once its half way complete :3

I will post more after I go back for my checkup with my doctor

--------------------------------------------------------------

Pics of me on christmas day :3 (My hair is actually purple, but because it's blue in every photo, I'm starting to think it's blue and not purple >.<)

I don't like how I look here, but Bibi was posing like a diva!

I wish everyone a happy new year!

Photoshoot outfit + Youtube videos

Hello!

I had my photoshoot today, with the photographer Cyril in my wa-lolita outfit :3
It was cold, rainy and miserable. The original shoot was supposed to be outdoors in the Kyoto Gardens at Holland Park....

But due to the weather we had to improvise with an alternative xD
I haven't got any photos from the actual shoot yet, but when I do get them I will post the pics up on here.

Heres how my outfit looked:

This photo was taken when I got home :D

This photo was actually taken in May 2012 when I first got the dress, I also had no circle lenses v.v

This was also taken in May :3

So!, I'm going to be uploading videos to youtube in December while I'm on my Christmas break. 

I will have alot more time to do it then, and I'm going to upload an introduction to my channel and maybe a quick makeup tutorial :3

We'll see when the time comes!

Tomorrow I might take a trip to Camden Town for the first time! I can't believe I've lived in London and never visited the place, despite of how interesting it is xD

Anyway, Back to long....tedious art homework =_=

BLUEBERRY CHOCOLATE PANCAKE! :D

Keep rockin' baby!~
