Small outfit compilation 2: Last days of November! + Circle lens advise!

Hey there!

 I've chosen to stay a week without wearing circle lenses because my left eye decided to... well, to take a bloody rebellion on its own!
I was thinking about making a post advising you to be careful with wearing circle lenses for too long (I usually wear them all day, which is MIN 13h most days because I have 6h of class and 6h of work, and that's if I don't do anything after work... which usually means wearing the lenses for WAY too long!)
I should do like most of my friends do, take them out when my eyes start feeling sore or when it's been more than 7-8 hours! It's just that I like the look they give too much and I don't want to take them out and go back to my small irises, lol! But health goes first, so after this small circle lens hiatus I'll try to be more sensible about their use.

Here's the proof of how my eyes looked after 10h of use (it was like 7 pm... and that day I went out for dinner, so imagine how they were at 1am!!):

He decidido estar una semana sin llevar circle lenses porque... bueno, mi ojo izquierdo decidió empezar una sangrienta rebelión por sí mismo y... bueno, llegué a un punto en el que acababa con el ojo sangriento hasta la mañana siguiente de quitármelas!
Así que voy a dejarlos respirar por lo menos una semana y de ahora en adelante haré como la mayoría de mis amigos (que también lleven CL, claro xD), quitármelas al cabo de un rato, cuando los ojos lleguen al límite! Había pensado en hacer un post sobre los peligros de las CL, pero al fin y al cabo me he dado cuenta de que la culpa es mía por ABUSAR! Claro, como mínimo me tiro 13h fuera de casa la mayoría de los días, y eso es si solo voy a clase y a trabajar!

Como muestra del abuso, podéis ver cómo tenía los ojos a las 7 de la tarde... Imagináos cómo acabaron a las 7 de la mañana xDDDDD

I usually don't make this kind of poses hahaha
But I was very stressed that day at work so I needed to get out of the office and do something childish and stupid to forget for a couple minutes about the pressure lol!

Normalmente no suelo hacer este tipo de pose xDDD Pero bueno, estaba bastante estresada y presionada ese día en el trabajo, así que los 5 minutos de descanso que me tomé me dediqué a hacer un poco el idiota jaja

And now onto the outfits! I just picked up 3 and they're from this weekend, yesterday and today, LOL! Last week the cold hit me too hard and caught me by surprise, so I didn't have anything to wear except boring (yet -sort of- warm) stuff or outfits that you've already seen so... They're not worth the time!

I've found though that I find myself more comfortable wearing a different style in winter, maybe more on the cute key than on the sexy, aggressive side! It's easier to be warm with huge sweaters than in micro d.i.a tops, lol!

(I'll find something else though, I usually switch styles a lot and don't like sticking to just one thing!)

Y... ahora a por los outfits!
La verdad es que los 3 que voy a enseñar son del sábado, lunes (ayer) y hoy mismo xD El frío de la semana me pilló muy desprevenida, y o bien me tuve que tapar con lo primero que pillaba cuando conseguía y me veía TAN rancia que ni sacaba foto o son cosas que ya he enseñado en otros posts de outfits, así que tampoco vale la pena incluirlo!

La verdad es que me he dado cuenta de que para el frío me gusta bastante más tirar hacia el lado más cute y monoso que no estar en mi estilo anterior, más adulto, sexy y agresivo porque... Bueno, siempre es fácil quedar mona y estar calentita con un jersey enorme, pero a ver tú cómo se ve una sexy pareciendo el muñeco de michelin a base de capas xDDDDD

Aun así, algo encontraré para irme definiendo en invierno. Algo encontraré!

Saturday:

Sweater: Bershka
Shirt: Bershka
Shorts: Bershka (omg, I hadn't noticed this LOL)
Knee-highs: Calcedonia
Boots: Camper
Accessories: Handmade (by Miyu's BF lol!) and Forever21 

 

Monday:

Sweater: H&M!
Shirt: Blanco
Skirt: ??
Knee-highs: Calcedonia
Accessories:  Necklace ??, beret H&M

Today!

Sweater: Friday's proyect
Shirt: Bershka
Skirt: NewYorker (even if you can't see it xD)
Knee-highs: Calcedonia
Accessories: Forever21

I don't like the way this outfit ended up looking like! I need a white cute t-shirt and a black bowtie and maybe white knee-high socks because it if everything looks so dark it looses a bit of the cute key I was aiming for!
Dull make up because I got ready in 10' and I'm not wearing circle lenses! 

I was unsure about what to post because there are a few things that I'd like to talk about but I don't have enough time to develop them! (and I ended up making a somewhat long outfit post, d'oh).
Some are silly, like listing some new make-up wise  and random stuff I'd like to buy and why, others are a bit more serious (at least for me) like ways to deal with acne scars (or even my own fight with acne) or maybe stuff that might be helpful like my experience with TaoBao or MBok and/or how to order in these kind of places using different shopping services (as if there weren't enough tutorials lol!)

(As it's obvious, I'll leave the make-up tutorial for the time when I start wear lenses again, haha!)

If you'd like to know any of these in depth please let me know! I'm always happy to receive feedback!
And as always, thanks for reading! ^^

No sabía bien bien qué postear porque hay varios temas que me rondan la cabeza pero realmente no llego a tener tiempo de desarrollarlos tanto como me gustaría! (Aunque ahora he acabado extendiendo bastante el post de outfits xDDD)
Algunos de ellos son bastante chorra, como las cosas de maquillaje -o en general- que tengo pensado comprarme próximamente y por qué, otros son más serios (por lo menos para mí), como formas de intentar tratar las cicatrices que deja el acné (o incluso mi propia lucha contra éste, que son muchos años ya!) o cosas que puedan ser útiles para los demás como mi experiencia con comprar en sitios como TaoBao o MBok con varios intermediarios (bueno, uno distinto en cada) o incluso hacer un tutorial sobre cómo comprar en este tipo de sitios (como si no hubiese bastantes ya xDDD aunque la verdad es que muchos están en inglés)!

Obviamente el tutorial de maquillaje lo dejaré para cuando me vuelva a poner lentillas! xDDD
Pero bueno, si os gustaría saber algo más sobre alguno de estos temas o similares, hacédmelo saber! Siempre estoy encantada de leer sugerencias!

Y como siempre, gracias por leer! ^^

Random update! With outfits! And camwhoring! And boobs! PICHEAVY ALARM!!

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since my last post, isn't it?
Well, I'm quite busy and I haven't been able to come up with any great topics to discuss with you (lol), so even if I'm very grateful for the opinions and comments you left on my last post (well, I'm grateful for any comment <3) and I'd love to keep up the topic going I'm afraid I'll have to make a simple post with some of my outfits these days.

I also have pending to make an update with Queenie's visit to Barcelona, so without further ado here it comes!

Since I started talking with her I found out that she's a great person whose chat I really enjoyed so I was very happy to find out that she was coming to Barcelona!

The first day we met (I had to get ready at work EVERYDAY since I had a 10'5 h shift, lol!) we went to have dinner at Montaditos (a very cheap and cool bar, which is always filled with tourists). I mistook the street and left the car like 20' far but... well, that way she could do some (more) tourism, lol

Drawing the corner of the eye wasn't meant for my eye shape, lol

It's like it's TOO MUCH!

But I liked the outfit!! xD

I really don't have many pics form that day because... Well, I tried a different style of make-up and I believe that I either did it too heavily or it doesn't really suit me, I'm not sure lol
I also actually like to enjoy better the moment I'm living by actually living and capturing it with my memory than taking thousands of pics of it to show it afterwards. Idk, maybe I'm weird.
I'm sure you've seen pics of it on facebook though!

  The second day we meet with Sue (if you've seen the Spanish initiative Gyaru Channel I'm sure you've seen her! She doesn't have a blog yet, so I can't really link it, lol) and went to have some bubble tea and have a walk to the Maremagnum Mall (which is placed right at the sportive docks of Barcelona and where shops don't close on Sundays -it's crazy that shops actually close on Sundays, right?!-, where we found a curious fella dressed as a sumo fighter in a segway. I just... What is this I dont even. We took some pics with him and kept going, lol. At least he wasn't wearing one of these awful mexican hats (nothing against mexicans or their hats, keep reading) that most tourist shops seem to fancy selling at the ramblas. I mean, dude, it's not even Mexico! It would be like going to the States and buying a statue of the Big Ben.
GAH.

I'm surrounded by cuties <3

As you can see, he was pretty... well, bizarre

The fuck happened to my hair?!

And the last day we did a group meeting we went with Chechi and Cristina (Poza) who are also from Hysterical (<3 <3) to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant at the center of Barcelona called Sushi-Ya, which is always yummy. I was with fever and had been sick for about a week, so I really didn't look pretty well. I include an overedited face shot so you can check it out in case you're curious xDDDD

Herpyderpyme, but they all look so cute that I had to upload it, lol

 I have to say that I was very happy to share time with her because she's a great person and has proved herself to be a great friend (and she's also a beautiful and sexy woman, which is always nice to have around), so... <3

Aaaand... That's pretty much it!

From now on, outfit and random pics!



Random outfit for going to the cinema!

Random partying outfit!

And an (almost) makeupless outfit test!

And from the day Hiki came back!
(I loved how it looked like that day, and this is why I've got these pics as my profile pics pretty much everywhere LOL)

My new Yumetenbo dress!

(And a different approach to that dress, with lighter makeup and straight hair -would've said straight puffy, but its puffiness disappeared lol)

And... This.
I have to find a light pink/nude lipstick that suits me and doesn't make me look like... idk

I'm pissed at myself because most times I forget to take pics of my outfits and makeup, or if I take them then I don't like them and stop trying so it's for nothing... but well.


Sorry for the über wall of text and thanks for reading!!

<3 <3<3

Why all the hate?

Disclaimer: This post contains opinion!

I have been thinking a lot about this lately, and I thought it was a good subject to bring here.
The fact is that anyone that knows at least a little how this community goes will know that one of the most popular critics is "That's not gyaru!".
There are guides and guidelines in order to become a (good) gyaru. A whole set of rules and do's and dont's.But still, this isn't enough, because from there it borns the "Doing X isn't enough to be gyaru!" discussion. It's not my intention to enter into this topic, as it's been discussed broadly and while I have my opinion like anyone else (opinions are like balls) but it amazes me that this is in fact a subject of discussion. 

I've been in different dressing styles (which belonged to different urban tribes, to call it somehow) and this was never a subject of discussion, so it makes me wonder why.


For instance, I highly doubt that if some guy starts getting interested in punk and listening to punk music and dresses alike to the musicians he listens to, I doubt he'll find anywhere a list of dont's. 
Of course, _every_ urban tribe has its own rules (because doing something and not doing something else it's what caracterizes them), and you probably won't see a goth in pink (or maybe you could, but yanno) or a punk wearing Swarovski decoden (that one is harder to find, right? although there are some approaches, lol).

And, well, every urban tribe has its degree of trueness and competition, but it's not at high and heavy as it happens in gyaru (or j-fashion in general, I dare say).

But... Why does this happen?

One of the first posible reason that I can think of it's because it has no musical background (or not as deep as other subcultures have). It might sound stupid, but if you fail to give the looks, what do you have left? 

The gyaru spirit? Sure. 

We've all come to this discussion in one point or the other. You can be a rebel, you can go against society and the mass media and the rules and averageness and all that stuff without being gyaru, so that attitude might belong to anything else. This wouldn't be like this if there was a musical background. 

Take goths. A teen might not be all dressed up in expensive victorian-ish velvet clothing, but she might listen to all those goth rock bands, and with just a t-shirt with the logo of the group, some jeans and heavy dark make-up there'd be no doubt of what urban tribe she belongs to (or at least her tendency).

Another reason that comes to my mind is that, under the surface, it's a highly competitive fashion. I'm the kind of person who finds it easy to like pretty much everyone and I really don't need much to grow fond of people and care about them (I'm a care bear, lol). I prefer sharing to competing but I know that there are a lot of people who like having adversaries. This is indeed a good way to push you to get better, but you might end up crossing the line of friendly competition to enter the realms of hate, and hate leads to suffering (and it's the path to the dark side).

(yes, this is what appears when you google Gyaru Secrets)

I also think that the fact that it's a japanese fashion is also somewhat of a barrier due to the racial (physical) differences. This might sound silly or wrong, but I really don't mean it in a bad way, but I came up to this conclusion a couple years ago when I made a first attempt at japanese fashion with visual kei. No matter how many make-up tutorials I tried to follow, my eye keept looking different. Then I realized that the crease in my eyelid was the reason of my failure.

I compare my pictures to japanese gyaru's and I fail to see the same. But that's obvious, because no matter how better my skills might get at make-up and hairstyling (at which, by the way, I suck) I will never see the same, since my features are different, for a start. Of course, there are awesome gaijin gyaru who grasp the essence of gyaru, who give you that feeling instantly at a first sight but... 

And finally, I believe that part of it is created by itself. It's like the feed-back creates the fear, the fear of being criticized for not being gyaru enough makes people being more critic ("because... I'm going to be criticized by ... you? you don't even look that gyaru!") and so on, and so on. 

What do you guys think about it?

Stupid Vlog

HELLO!

So yesterday I tried a slightly different style and I was pretty happy with it!
When I came home at last I was so sad to have to remove my makeup and undo my hair and such that decided that it'd be a great excuse to do a vlog, LOL!

Bad thing about it it's that... well, the audio is a bit out of sync and that my accent hasn't gotten any better but... Heck, I try my best lol.


Well,  I hope you enjoy my randomness!

(Herpy derpy thumbnail LOL)

Oh, I also thought it could be a good idea to post a couple pics of the outfit and such! :D

 Pic edited with Line Camera! (Pick's image editing soft)
I love that social network!

 Also, the inevitable unavoidable embarrassing duckface, but I like the way the hairdo looks, lol.

 With my dear Miyu <3

 And this pic was too fun to avoid posting it xDDDD We were in front of a fan, lol

 Some of the girls, I love them all <3

Another group pic... With a lot of us lacking! It looks like it's an Hysterical tradition to lack good group pics! We did some, but I don't have them.
I love them all, they're great. It's such a wonderful thing to have friends like them. One of these days I'll make an update for them! <3

Aaaand... This is all for now.
Thanks for reading and so! <3

About makeup... kinda.

Hi everyone!

I've been thinking lately a lot about how I do my make up and what I wanted to look like.
Despite the fact that I've been a _lot_ of time with little to no money to restock my falsies and whatnot, I've also found out that I had gotten a bit... lazy when it comes to make-up.

I've always, always, always, always loved extreme panda styles, droopy eye make-up rather than natural and cat-shaped eyes, like this girl's (who's an Ageha model):

 (I don't know her name but I'm totally in love with her. I suck at names, but... I love her anyway)


Just take a look at her makeup:

And at the way her face looks with it:

THIS is the kind of face-shape (or whatever) I want to achieve, this is in what I'm going to work more from now on.

I used to make my eyes very very very droopy before, but I ended up changing to a style... that doesn't even suit me!

So eh, keep tuned because I'm going to be trying really hard.
(I also wanted to talk about lenses and about how much I wanted to get me a new pair and that I had been investigated because I didn't want an old model that ended up feeling outdated quickly but as far as I can see... They keep wearing the same old oldies in mags like Ageha and EGG and such! I guess it's because the classics never die)


Thanks for reading and such! <3
