July Inspo

 

Let's go over some stuff I have been loving lately! 

Bright undereye + blush combo

I just love how it looks in all skin tones. I also think this technique goes super well with gyaru, too! I might try a more intense look for next week's MARINA concert at SD Pride Festival! <3

Baby tee + layered skirt combo

Is there a name for this style? It would be something you see with Tralala coords, as well as more Popteen-like looks. Anyway, I realized I love this combo and that it looks good on me. It's so easy to style up and down, and it's clearly a base for many gyaru looks.

zebra+pink+black combo

Even if it's agejo or more casual, I loooove zebra print this season (and all seasons). I know polka dots were the thing, but do not leave my black-and-white pattern behind.

This combo for amekaji lives in my mind rent-free!

I feel like it's a more summer-friendly look for Amekaji. It's a rare combo, since I've always seen the baggie boyish pants. I've been kind of sporty lately thanks to the World Cup, haha. It would be a fun way to style my jerseys.

2009 Popteen

To me, the epitome of girlyness was this year! I will die on this hill. Popteen was not necessarily a gyaru mag, but my goal is to collect all of them for this year. So far, I have February and March, lol, 10 more to go?

Straight Hair with bangs

My hair cannot make up its mind. Both my parents have curly AF hair, but I have really in between sad hair, lol. So since I cannot take the time and effort to curl it, I have been looking on completely flat iron hair styles. Also any low effort things I can be made into part of my personal routine are welcomed. I need to avoid any burnout triggers.

Art Journal & Kittens (ฅ✲ﻌ✲ฅ)

A little weekend update, since I did a few things. I gathered some energy to go back to journaling and retake my Gyaru Art Challenge :)

Please feel welcomed to use the prompts and use the tags! 

I decided to start it over and get creative while journaling about each entry. I won't be sharing them daily, but here are the prompts for day 1 and 2.

My doodles for the first prompts

This one is for my dream coord plus some random scribbles.

This section is inspired by the little green men from Toy Story and a nailset with them in it. I have recently started collecting figurines and will someday have a bigger collection. The idea extended to a little boy obsessed with them. Hope someday I can make a clean illustration and sculpture <3

While journaling I made me some dinner, which included this attempt of spiral cucumber salad. 

It didn't look as cool as the viral ones, but they are still delicious! Cucumber is my fave thing ever! I eat everyday, they are so refreshing and crunchy. 

Then on to my Saturday morning, where I had to go to Mexico for some medical thingies I had pending. I woke up extra early to do my makeup and try one of the Mac lipsticks my auntie gave me.

I usually don't buy Mac, I actually avoid all together but she had this box of vault mini lipsticks and gave me and my sisters our fave colors from them bunch. I gotta say the packaging is a 10/10 for me! I'm a sucker for cute packaging.

As for the formula it stayed most of the day even after eating. Not sure if I'm a fan of matte lip products, but it did the job.

My make for the day 

After my doctor's appointments my sister wanted to go to adopt a new kitten. She needs a companion and it's always recommended to have a pet to boost your mood.

To be honest, I've never been to a cat café and the shelters I've visited had a different concept. I am not sure the condition is optimal, but for a place that services and promotes adopting, it was okay.

I think more than cute it's so heart braking to see so many cats waiting for a loving home. My ultimate opinion is to spay and neuter your pets. I might sound so bitter to not enjoy going to a place like this.... after all it's our own fault so many cats exists. 

Many cats had flu and the place smelled really strong... Can someone tell me if this is a normal thing for a cat café? I don't want to be so harsh... and I know they are threated well in there, just wish people would donate more so the conditions could improve. 

Either way, I am a cat lover and I wanted to take them all with me.

At the end my sister picked a 3month old kitten. Her name is Maya and she was really social. She talks a lot, but she found a good home with my sister. She will definitely be loved and cared for.

Welcome to your new home Maya!

And that is all for today, I have to go cuz something did not agree with my stomach....

Take care of yourselves and your lovely pets if you have any!

Phone Blog: Daily Makeup+More food!

Hello!٩(ˊ〇ˋ*)و

Today's post is more of a soft daily blog? Today we had a potluck at work, because we are celebrating a project we have been working on for quite a while. 

I made some soy meat ceviche, which everyone loved. I'm so happy lately that I get compliments on my cooking.(*ﾉ∀`*)

We had Thai food, Mexican food and Korean since our staff is pretty diverse. We had a nice chat until it was time to go finish our daily tasks.

During the day I was chatting with the GyaruGo gals and I saw that Chio made a pretty amazing make for everyday wear. I got really inspired to try as well since I brought my cosmetic bag to the office. Everyone helped and gave me specific directions. (♡°▽°♡)

This was the result for today! We concluded that I need a thinner eyeliner so my hanging lid doesn't eat it up as much. Also a liquid one is best for thin wrinkled lids kkkkkkk.

I think it's good enough for daily make with no cl and probably no lashes... (however I'm wearing really tiny ones from Daiso).

Also, tear bags are a must and they aid with it looking more gyaru-like. Of course I need a better pulse and cleanliness... but it serves its purpose.

My outfit was comfy: 

Top-Tralala//Skirt-Uniqlo//Shoes- Dreamly

(My mom made fun of my skirt because it was too long TT_TT)

After work I went to get some dinner with my mom and sis... of course I had a delicious margarita. I loooove tequila and agave flavor is the best! (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

I need to purchase some tequila to keep at home since it's the only liquor I can handle. I can't wait for Thanksgiving so I can host it myself with nice cocktails.

ヽ(o´∀`)ﾉ♪♬On to some wishes and inspo from March '09 Popteen ヽ(o´∀`)ﾉ♪♬ I love this year, cuz there are so many cute trends for colder months! To me it was one of the best years for gyaru (my opinion).

I need more spacious cute bags!

I see some deco in my future! I have my digital camera that needs some love (ノ°∀°)ノ⌒･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆

Some purikura ideas... since I'm a lil awkward to go to them by myself lately... would it be time to hit R1? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Now is time to call it a day. I'm so happy to be able to post often, my brain is cooperating. 

Have a lovely weekend

My makeup routine/tutorial?

Today's post is about a walk through my makeup routine. I think it would be helpful to look back at it and see my progress.

This eye look is different than my usual one, but as I mentioned in previous posts I wanted to explore different eyeshapes.

I'm happy with this droop! So please stay to see the process.

Clean face, hydrated with whatever moisturizer I found in my room + ELF Jelly primer for a dewey finish.

Also, put my contacts in before, because I can't see w/o them.

Lighter tone concealer to brighten high-points and cover up darker spots. I didn't use foundation since I like to keep some skin texture.

Blended concealer + slapped on brows thinly. Also added a glow milk/liquid highlighter.

Powder blush and contour. Connected nose contour to brows.

Neutral eyeshadow to mark tearbags and lift the eye. (Lol I look like a red panda).

Namida bukuro helps to achieve cuteness and helps a lot in gyaru makeup.

My shit eyeliner was giving up on me at this point. I added pink to my mobile lid+also drooped the eyeliner to achieve max cuteness. I like to tie-line my eyes with black pencil.

For max shine, added a foiled eyeshadow on the tear bags.

I added my lashes of choice. Today I chose these spikier ones. For the lower area I followed the droop and connected the inner lash to the starting point of my iris. 

Eyeshape closeup for reference!♡ For personal taste, I like to leave open the other corner. Now looking at the photo, I would clean up the tear duct area, but my liner was giving up on me.

＼＼\\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//／／

So, that is pretty much a go to makeup I have started to enjoy. I'm yet to find a look for everyday, but this was make in 30 min. What do you think? I personally believe that it would look much better with brown lenses. Something to look upon for my next purchases!

I have no more fotos with this look cuz I'm a dumdum and forgot to take more ( `ε´ )/

So yeah... bye?
