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.

Ulzzang Makeup Tutorial

Haven't really posted in a while (whoops!), but now I'm back and planning to post more. I was on a mini hiatus after finishing my cosplay and getting back into college and blah. But now I'm here so rejoice all! xD

So anyway, this tutorial was hard for me to do believe it or not. Since Ulzzang doesn't really seem to be classed as a style and more-so just a "beautiful face" or something along those lines, it made it quite challenging as there wasn't really a set makeup style for this...I researched and researched then just came to the conclusion that it was just minimal makeup xD

I wanted to use a white eyeliner on my waterline, but I think it looks too "Anime-ish" on me, and I wanted to make the look natural.

Simple Dark Gyaru Makeup Tutorial!

Hi guys!

So I've finally been able to wear makeup, I'm so relieved :3
If you don't know why I wasn't able to wear makeup, its because I had Blepharitis in my right eye. It's sort of like an infection, but mine was caused by an allergic reaction.
I tried out a new eyeliner, next thing I know my eye was all itchy and puffy lol.

But It's okay now, still a little itchy, but was given the all clear to put makeup on. :)



So here's my latest tutorial. It was requested by HikaruBunnie, and she wanted me to do a simple gothic styled makeup which she could wear on a day out with less than ten neutral colours.
She wanted me to create something that is wearable during the day, but also can be classed as evening makeup and still looks gothic (Hence both natural and bold lipstick).

I hope you like the tutorial. Me with my perfectionist ass just can't help but notice flaws all the time >.>

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:

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

Circle Lens Review: Geo Angel Brown

Hey guys!

So I've decided to do my first ever circle lense review! "YAY"

These are the lenses that I wear daily, maybe three to four times a week. I need prescription circle lenses but they all seem to be negative prescription? (eg. -0.75) My eyesight is positive prescription, and because none of these circle lenses seem to be for my eyes, I just have to get 0.00 and bring my glasses with me xD

Anyway, onto the review!

Heres how the lenses look in natural day light, with and without lashes:

(I forgot to take a photo without the lenses!)

Comfort: 10/10
These are my first ever circle lenses that I bought back in May this year. They are sooooo comfortable to wear! I can wear them for up to 8 hours without them completely drying out my eyes, however after about four hours you do notice them beginning to get a little on the dry side. Bring eye drops and you're all sorted :3

Design 8/10

I do really love how natural the design is, and how it looks when its NOT in my eyes. But when I do put them in, I find that the pattern is kind of hidden a little by my natural eye colour, since they are really dark brown. But I like how they don't look too obvious, and the design is very pretty. So if you have dark brown eyes like me, be aware of the fact that the pattern isn't going to stand out that well.

Enlargement 10/10:

Right, so....I have given the enlargement on these full marks, only because these are my first lenses I notice a huge difference to my eyes. The size is just right for first time wearers. Obviously people who have worn lenses for a longer time might think that the enlargement isn't as noticeable as other lenses they might wear.

Overall Conclusion:

If you are new to wearing circle lenses I definitely would recommend these. The colour is natural, the enlargement is justtttt right and the comfort is outstanding.
These lenses look so natural that it gets people wondering why your eyes are so naturally big and endearing lol. And because of the size, your eyes won't look very doll like. They are 14.8mm. I must go bigger o.o

Now onto some photos! xD

My hair looked really wild here! LOL xD

I had a really hard time watermarking these images! D:<

I also tried out a new eye shape, (If you noticed) not only did I make the eye droopier, I also added the "gap". I don't usually do the gap because I don't think it really suits me. I think I'm going to try and do more of a cat-eyeliner shape next time, instead of a droop.

I have this stupid cold virus thing, so that's why I'm pretty much in my "comfort clothes" and no jewellery in my photos. My shirt still has the bloody size label on it v.v....

Anyway, back to bed to recover! xD

CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE SUNDAE! :D
