Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

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! Crow

How are you doing today? The baboon

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

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. Smiling

I wanted to improve my gyaru so I went to the store and bought fake lashes! Quito ゙゙ bit key

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]

Gyaru Tip #14: Straight is great

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!

5 easy steps to achieve this look:

1. Brush out all tangles in your hair. This is a stricter rule because curls and upstyles can hide the knots.

2. Separate parts of you hair with hair clips. Always start from the inner layer of your hair until you reach the outmost, then proceed to the next section. But before you begin ironing it, ALWAYS use heat resistant products so that you’ll protect your hair from being damaged.

3. Begin by taking about 3 fingers(in width) and not thicker than the thickness of a cardboard box. If you take too much hair, the iron might not be able to straighten all of it and if it’s too wide, it will most likely slip out of the iron.

4. Maintain the iron’s movement by going 90 dregrees down but when you reach about 3 inches before the end, begin to slant it towards your face (but not too much! You might burn yourself). Pretend as if your wrapping your hair around it but at the same time pulling it down. It might be tricky to do this at first but you’ll get the hang of it. If the hair is going outwards it means your rotating the iron the wrong way, so just reverse it. If it’s not curving in as it should be, then perhaps try to do it much slower or twirl it even more. NOTE: You may or may not do the in curve procedure to the back part of your hair, it’s mainly for the front part but both ways work.
5. For the bangs, I suggest using a round brush. Use it to support the bangs and then slip the iron in between the brush and the roots of your hair, then do the same thing with the hair wrapping but do it loosely (curving it too much might make it look funny). Finish it by using a little hair spray and you’re done! A much quicker way than hair curling and just looking beautiful.

Hope you enjoyed! ^^

Dazzy Store- Dress Shop!

\

Dazzy Store is the No. 1 Dress Shop in Japan. They have amazing dresses made for red carpet events to a night on the town. If you love fancy dresses, check out Dazzy store! They are my favorite place to buy dresses!

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.
