♥I Found Out Why I'm Not Pretty♥

♡Technique!♡

Who would have thought it! (Well, probably a lot of people have thought it.) My technique of applying my foundation, my eyelashes, and my eyeliner has been off for the shape of my eyes.

I have been applying eyeliner to the area of the lower eyelid towards the outer corners. But after looking at the inspiration I posted last night, namely this one,

I realised that I should try this approach for giving that emphasis on the middle of the eye, which can make your eyes look more...erhm.. endearing? Is that what I want to say? Hahaha! I want to say "doll-like", but the whole eye is supposed to be "dolly". Oh well. Moving on!

The second thing I realised I needed to do was to sort of twist my eyelashes before I put them on. I realised this by accidentally squishing the end half of on of my eyelashes whilst putting on makeup and had a lightbulb-over-head moment. 

Ah-Ha!

It is exactly what I was trying to achieve. I don't even think I will need to double up my falsies. The effect here is that it makes my eyes look more rounded and my eyelashes more dynamic.

The lassst thing I discovered is that I desperately needed a good moisturizer (but was stubbornly waiting for money to be able to get my favourite), and really needed a new foundation. I really like Shiseido brand cosmetics but they are so expensive I just can't do it right now. I've had The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation

 for a while and really liked it, but I thought I was just not applying it correctly. I think now it is just the makeup itself that doesn't work right for me. I use a primer, I exfoliate my skin, I was using  the Shiseido moisturizer. I finally started using a brush instead of fingers to apply it and that was when I realised the makeup just didn't work. It was always going to look chalky on my face.

Any tips you guys can give will be greatly appreciated!♡

Cheers,

Kat

That's Much Better! (And Some Makeup Photos!)

How do you like all the pink? 

(´･ω･｀)

I really like this template. I got it off of this website. Cute, でしょう！

I need some help from you guys out there. I have a conundrum figuring out where and what to buy for my eye makeup. I've been struggling to figure out what kind of makeup I should use for my eyes. There are SO many kinds to look at. Let me give you some examples:

Those are only a few different kinds. But of course the possibilities are almost endless.

You may notice that these eyes are gyaru style. I have been refraining from using that term because I don't consider myself gyaru-- rather, I just want to look as cute and pretty as I can. 

It is a problem that I have caucasian eyes for the use of this kind of eye makeup. I have a hard time following the tutorials because some aspects of it don't deliver the same effects that they do on an Asian-looking eye. 

What I want, people, is a clean and simple eye makeup that gives a pretty 《ＰＯＰ》. 

Here are some pictures of my makeup trials:

A little too much eyeliner, no real eye enlargement.

Okay, but really just elongating my eye, and not adding much in terms of height due to lack of attention to the lower lid.

Same complaint as above.

This is my favourite look yet (except for the fact that I managed to do something very weird while putting on my foundation that made me look chalky). A Little too much eyeliner on top, but the lower lashes were awesome. I lost one of them, though, so I currently don't have any lower falsies. This look gave my eyes that enlargement I want with minimal makeup. My only complaint is that this look was a little more spiky and less soft and dolly like I want.

I'm not sure exactly where to take this at this point. I'll do a post on the looks I find most ideal in a minute.

Any help??

Baibai Cuties,

Changing the Blog's Template

Sorry Guys

But it looks like there is something fishy going on with the template editor on blogger.

I can't change the background picture, the colour, the font, or the font sizes. They just won't apply.

I know it's drab-looking right now, so pardon the construction!

Cheers,

Are You Busty?

Then This Might Take A While.

This is my experience with looking for clothes on Asia-fashion-wholesale.com.

So I should make a confession that I am a busty, busty girlie. 36DDD, to be exact. Gyabo! This is something about my body I have reeeally hated for a long time now. Want to find a bra? Nope. A blouse that doesn't pucker? Sorry.

Boo.

But here is the sick and twisted part that the Universe decided to impose on me: I love Japanese and Korean fashion. Korean and Japanese aren't busty, though. Therefore, most things don't fit me.

オッパイなら、もうすぐ悲しくなる。

In general, most cute style things don't fit me.

If I wanted to wear sexy things, then I could probably wear a lot of things. But I like a cute look. *sigh*

Please excuse my hands here! ごめん! I was rushing a bit. ( o u o;)

Please do not get me wrong here, I think sexiness is a really lovely thing on girls. But it doesn't fit my personality. And because of where I live, when I do wear anything semi-revealing (for a dance or by accident) people will honk at me or approach me. No, it isn't nice boys my own age doing this. Yes, it is creepers in their forties or fifties who assume I would really appreciate their comments. 

I'll stick to the style I like better.

But let's get to the point of this post: shopping online. If you go on to the website Asia-fashion-wholesale.com-- stocked with duper cute cheaply priced clothing-- you might find it a little overwhelming. There is just SO MUCH STUFF. Bags, Dresses, Shoes, Shirts, Blouses (Summer AND Fall), Jackets, Accessories, Kittens, Kanye West, Kangaroos.. Okay, maybe not those last three. Anywho! In each category there is a LOT of stuff to view. I mean like over one-hundred pages of content for some categories.

I have decided that I'm not going to try and squeeze my breasts into clothes that are too tight or wear sports bras that squish them for the same reason. I will respect my boobs and only buy clothing that fits all of me. The magic number of centimeters I am looking for is 104. If the shirt/blouse/dress says it can fit 104 cm, I can buy it. Sadly, this proved to be just as challenging as I had thought.

They list the sizings for each item. So, I went through hundreds of pages of content to find some things that I liked, and of those few I found a smaller number of clothing items that were over 100 cm. Most shirts/blouses/dresses/etcetera range from 75-90 cms in the bust.

If you are an average height and usually wear a medium, you will probably find you can fit most things.

If you are a busty gal, you will have your work cut out for you.

That said, the customer service is excellent. I had many questions and was happy to discover a live chat button on the "Contact Us" page. I spoke with a woman named "joy" who was helpful and polite and called me "dear" the whole time. How cute!

"I recommend!"

Check them out!

Cheers,

Kat
