Update- 12/8/2011

Hello gyarus~

I haven't posted on here since SEPTEMBER? Geez! I really need to start remembering to post more often haha. I really do promise this time that I'll post at least once a week!

This is basically just an update to people asking why I don't post anymore :P 

I'm working on becoming a gyaru and it's actually taking me a lot longer to learn full Japanese than I expected. I'm also working on a lot of other things, like school, so I've been very busy lately! TT_TT

So make sure to stay in tune to my blog and comment and I'll reply whenever I get the chance! Thanks! <3

Victoria's Secret Haul!

Hello~!

So I went to the mall yesterday and I picked up a few things from Victoria's Secret.

I am currently OBSESSED with this store! I found some great deals on some things so I wanted to show you what I got ^_^.



First I got this VSPink Scoopneck Favorite Tee in Pink that says LOVE PINK 1986. Isn't it ADORABLE? I'm actually wearing this right now hehe. ^_~ And it was only $19.50 (plus tax)! Totally worth something from such a great store.

Then I got some underwear on the 5/$25.50 deal, but of course I'm not going to be showing that hehe. ^_^ Look on their website to see some cute designs! Try to guess what colors I got, :D

And I bought two fragrances, one was Fresh and Fierce, which is their limited edition one!



I mainly bought it for the scent, but I picked it up because of the cute packaging! I mean, isn't that so adorable?



And lastly I got Pretty & Pure, which reminds me of a watermelon. I don't know why, but every time I take a whiff of this body mist I think of watermelon! <___< I wonder what that's about.

So, what's your favorite store currently? And does your taste in clothes change as often as mine does? ^_- Leave me a comment and let me know~

My Day: 7/8/11

So lately I've been busy with cleaning my room, and I'm cleaning out a closet that was used in my room for storage. Now I'm using it for my clothes since my collection keeps growing. You can see in the picture above that was taken today that everything is piled on top of my bed!

[p.s. Don't you just love the angelic glow in the background? ^_~]

Summer-Proof Lipglosses from essence?!

Konnichiwa~

Today I'm going to be reviewing another essence product, their Stay With Me lipglosses! I only have two shades, but from what I can tell from these, I would think they would be $14.50 MAC lipglosses! That's how good of a product they are! And they are less than $3 each, how can things get better?!

Review: Essence Mini Lipgloss Sets

こんにちは! How are you doing? ^_~

I'm going to be reviewing new products from Essence for a while, just because I love the brand so so much! ハハ.  They actually have a lot of new products available at Ulta, so I went there last night and picked up a few things.


One [actually two] things that I picked up were new, they just came out with them! They are mini lipgloss sets! I think they are like the Angel vs. Devil thing, Good vs. Bad. It's actually an awesome idea, and I think that they did a great job with the packaging and the product!

Here's what the Angel's Kisses in Heaven Lipgloss Set looks like.

Maybelline Stylish Smokes Eyeshadow Quads

Gyaru Improvement Meme- July 2011

So I've decided to start doing the Gyaru Improvement Meme from now on! This is for the month of June. Every month you add a picture to the meme to see how you are improving as a gyaru! Cool idea, right?

The Overnight Braid

I love overnight waves, it makes hairstyling so simple in the morning!

What you are first going to do is at night, simply make a tight braid and spray it with hairspray. Then sleep with your hair like that.

Hey gyarus~!

I wanted to review a product I got when it first came out, but I never got around to reviewing it! It's still in stores and online at their official website here!

Today I am reviewing the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream! On the packaging, it says "It's not lipstick, nor is it a gloss. It's like nothing you've experienced before. It's a lipstick cream that goes on silky but looks soft matte."

Gyaru Improvement: I'm Wearing Lashes!

Hey gyarus!


How are you doing today? 


I'm very excited and sorrowful at the same time. 


I recieved a comment telling me that I wasn't very gyaru! I wasn't very shocked because I just started being a gyaru these past months so my improvement will hopefully get better. 


I wanted to improve my gyaru so I went to the store and bought fake lashes!

Korea's Got Talent- Inspiring

This post isn't about fashion or makeup or anything. This can be a very serious topic. I watched something very important today that really inspired me. I would love it if you would take a look at this video also.



This is a lesson of life. This boy is just so inspiring, he is now helping me through the hard times in life. Whenever life has some ups and downs, I think of him. This video made me cry. It made me realise how important I am to everyone and that I should never give up.

I hope you all look at this video the same way. I love you all and I would be nowhere without you.

So thank you.

Xoxo, Kurishii.

Tsubasa Masuwaka Hair Tutorial- Top Bun

Tsu-chan's hair tutorial booklet from her McDonald's campaign.

 How to do the Upstyle gyaru hair bun with 5 easy steps!

1. brush your hair thoroughly and then tie it with a hairband all the way to the top of your head (about 1-2 inches away from your bangs). It should be 90 degrees in angle! It seems funny at first but eventually you’ll see ^^ Make sure to use pins for any falling strands of hair.

2. Get a teasing tooth comb. I suggest lifting your ponytail 90 degrees up for this. Use the comb and begin brushing it messily going down until your hair looks worse than a morning look. Note: The puffier the better.

3. Loosely but securely make a bun (you can use your index finger as a guide and pretend you’re wrapping your hair around it), and then secure it with hair pins. I highly discourage another hairband as it will most likely make the bun a lot smaller.OPTIONAL: You may comb the outer layer of the ponytail so that when making the bun, it’ll look a lot cleaner but it might also reduce the volume in the hair)

4. Use a strong hair spray and coat everything around it. Make sure to spray loose or falling strands because fixing it back into place without spraying it might have the whole bun falling off. Note: This may be a lot harder with those who have layered hair, but it is still achievable.

5. Lastly, feel free to use any hair accesory like bows or flowers to give it a final touch.

How To: Straight Hair [English Translation]

As you know almost all gyaru hairstyles only involve upstyle hair buns or volumized hair curls. Some of you might think this is way too tough to work with curls (especially the hours you spend of doing it). That’s why I’ll introduce some lovely straight hair choices for you!

GALSTAR X Ribbon Project

After the big earthquake that hit Japan, the big haired (and also big hearted) gyarus have made a GALSTAR X Ribbon project, where 100% of the proceeds go to the earthquake relief. I donated a good amount of money the other day, and I think that even donating 500 yen would help someone in need.
