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,

Kat

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,

Circle Lenses! Soon, soon...

They're Coming!

Heeey! So, I'm on the waiting end of many packages.

I sadly confessed of spending too much moolah and compulsively buying lots of stuff online. If you want all that update, you can find the post here.

Sigh.

Oh well! I'm done with that! No more spending. Now I just get to be excited about the coming stuff!

I ordered both lenses from Circlelens.net:

I ordered Neo Vision Dali Brown Black

And I also ordered Vassen Super Size Hyper Barbie Brown

Eeks! I'm so excited! I have dark blue eyes so there is a risk that I'll look strange. But! I have naturally large pupils, so I'm hoooooping it will turn out alright. (*゜―゜)

I'll be posting a video when I receive them, yu guise. （＾ω＾）♡

On the Lighter Side: Look How Pretty I am!

Pictures of my Pretty Progress

I decided to post some pictures of me in my new official everyday makeup and hair for evidence that I am trying to do what I said I would.

Here is a picture of my old makeup routine

I used eyeliner, mascara and foundation. That's it! I found that the cat-eye look just didn't really match my style very well. I was growing out my bangs at the time also...

BUT! Then came a night when I just couldn't handle the awkward length my bangs were at and --as has happened many a time in my life-- 

I cut them.　Σ(゜д　゜|||)

"I cut my hair!"

The bangs style I was looking for is similar to this kind of a look.

Note: Just the bangs, not the whole hairstyle.

For my base face makeup now I'm using a primer (Sephora Luminous Foundation Primer) and a foundation (Shiseido The Makeup) and a setting powder (Sephora brand again) and blush (in these photos Bare Minerals). This is the first time I've ever had my foundation look so flawless and last so long. (＝゜ω゜)ノ

Sorry for the under eye bags, yu guise. ( < x > ||) 

As I had posted about, my sleep has been less than it usually is.

I am also wearing false eyelashes on both my top and bottom. I have been trying to achieve a big eye look and had tried a few times to wear a look similar to a simple Gyaru-style, but it didn't quite work out. That is, until I saw this picture of Kyari Pamyu Pamyu:

"Ah", I thought, "I've been approaching the 'big eye' makeup the wrong way!" I had been trying to enlarge the look of my eyes by making the sides of my eyes look bigger. This requires more makeup than I'm used to and I just made my eyes look weird and overdone. If I try to make my eyes look bigger by making them look taller, though, I could achieve something pretty close to my objective! 

My eye now consists of eyelashes on top with some black eyeliner over the middle top of the lid near the lashes for emphasis. Then I line the inside of my eye on the bottom lid with more eyeliner from the outer corner to a little less than half way, and put on a short eyelash near the lined part. I use light pink shiny eyeshadow all the way under my eye and emphasize the middle with a little shiny white eyeshadow and blend.

I think it has worked out pretty well, but I'll probably continue tinkering with it.

Oh yeah, check out my weave〜！

キラキラ

Ehehehe! So loooong! Well, actually my clip ins aren't much longer than my own hair. They add probably like 3 or 4 inches but quite a bit of volume and help to even out my hairstyle.

So that's it for now. I'll post some reviews of the products I'm using...maybe.

Cheers

Oh Crapotatos

Dealing with Emotions

Right. "Dealing" with them. I don't need to deal with my emotions. They'll just go away if I ignore them long enough.. Right?

Not really, I find out again and a-freaking-gain. No. What emotions do when they aren't dealt with is they mess up your life. 

Say you are feeling sad. But you don't want to sit down and explore the sadness, so you just ignore it and focus on something else. Well, get ready for chaos, because you've just made a mistake. Noooooo, you can't just ignore it! What's wrong with bottling things up? You find a way to express it in some other way, that's what's wrong with it. "Bottling it up" doesn't actually exist. Maybe there is a slight delay or it isn't so noticeable, but emotions are ALWAYS expressed one way or another.

Take my case for example. I've told you about how I will be going to Japan to study, でしょうね?　Yes, well, I forgot to mention how terrified I am of it.

It has been a dream of mine to study in Japan for over 5 years. But right now I have my amazing fiancee, my two lovely cats, and I-- for the forst time in a long long time-- have really good support from my family. This is the most emotionally secure and safe I can remember being in my life. I don't want to go. But I'm applying. But I don't want to go. But I've told all my friends and family members. BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO. So, instead of talking about it and crying my eyes out as I should have done to find some sense of relief, I spent over $600 dollars on all sorts of things. I have three Japanese textbooks, a few sets of fake eyelashes, and three sets of circle lenses coming to me in the mail in the next few weeks. I have bought makeup, hair extensions, and food and coffees. I have been buying and downloading apps and music. My rationale was that "I will pay it off when I get my financial aid! Lalalalala~!♪ ♪"


But that of course is not the point. I also was staying up very late at night. Sometimes until three or four in the morning. I wasn't listening to my stress indicators. My typing and wallet-pulling-out little fingers were saying something small that I chose not to listen to. "You are really upset about something!", they cried whilst purchasing white eyeliner, "For goodness' sake do something, please!" But I didn't.

I kept spending until last night when, at four in the morning, I asked myself why I was awake so late. The answer was very clear. Fiancee is probably mad at me. I called him at work and told him all about it. Lying to someone who is so kind to you is really awful, but owning up to those lies feels worse and somehow good at the same time.

No more spending until I get my financial aid wherein I will first and foremost pay off and close out my credit card account.
