Catch Up~

Good day sunshines!
 This is a quick update before i head to the airport.Finished packing and went through my check list everything it there and I'm ready to go.


I've been traveling since the age of 5 but last year and this year are my only times i have flown on my own and i have to say, I LOVE IT! Ok so I love my sister and my family, but being the on-time-control-freak that   I am I like being early at my gate without wasting time here and there, so travelling alone is nice, but since I'm under aged i have to travel unaccompanied minor style, which is awesome! 
 Since I leave tomorrow and will probably spend most the day getting last minute things, I've been cuddling my little Yuki like mad, she got chipped on Monday and she let out a yelp that melted my heart :( I'm going to really miss her for 4-6 weeks.



Songs of the moment ( my opinion ofc)

I loove ailee's voice and I'm a huge fan. This is probably my first song that I've heard of Weesung and his voice is amazing!
Weesung Ft. Ailee~ They are coming 


This song is soo sweet and I love Daesungs voice! It give ear-gasms easily<3
DaeSung~ Try Smiling 


Anyway this was just a quick catch up, I'll take pictures in the plane and in Dubai and I will post them when I'm in Dubai, if you have any specific places for me to visit let me know 


 Ok so I'm off to snuggle Yuki on the couch with my green tea,
Amy xoxo

Base Curve:8.60mm
Life Span: 1 year


Picture with flash


Picture without


JUDGING TIME!


Comfort: 5/5, like the rest of the Bambi series they aren't uncomfortable,only sting a bit once i put them on.


Size:5/5. Perfect, they have the perfect size and enlarge the eyes really well.


Color:5/5. I love the color.It is bright and amazing. It shows up really well on my eyes,only problem is that my mum says that when I wear them i look like I'm high 


Over all 5/5, I really like them, but I don't think that they are suitable for those who want natural looking ones , since they don't look that natural ^_^
So that's all for now,
Amy xoxo

Picture with flash

JUDGING TIME!


Comfort:5/5.They are SUPER comfy,i can barely feel them,only problem is that they sometimes sting once you put them on but it's not that bad.
Size:5/5.I like their size,not too big not too small(that's what she said) and they enlarge your eyes without making them look too huge.
Color:4.5/5.I looove the color and it looks really natural and shows up well on my eyes despite the fact that i have really dark brown/black eyes.Only problem is that on the picture of Tsubasa they look really bright, but again might be my eye color.



Over all 4.83/5, I really like them and i recommend them to people who want to try them, but as usual with circle lens have eye drops with you ^_^
My next review will be on the Geo Princess Mimi Chocolate so look forward to that ^_^.
Till next time,
Amyxoxo

Types Of Gyaru~

Good day sunshines,
How are you all feeling today? I'm fine, i'm finally able to check something off my summer list
Finish watching Season 6 &7 of how I met your mother
anyway,as i have previously mention in past posts i follow the fashion trend of Gyaru. 


 What is Gyaru you ask? It is the fashion style that Japanese girls follow, gyaru stands for "gal". The look consists of Circle lens, false lashes, good clothes, high heels ( not necessary), blinged phones or gadgets, nails and to know what style you are going to follow. Gyaru is inspired by western fashion and many girls from other countries are following the gyaru trend.


Now for the categories:
Amekaji:
It is similar to casual american style basically ^_^. Tan isn't required and you can usually find pictures in egg magazine, a popular brand is cocolulu


Amuro:
It's for girls who decide to dress like singer Nami Amuro,light brown slightly curly hair and short skirts with high boots sexy~


B-gal:
This is for girls that like to dress like hip-hop, beenies, bling on, in general dance style clothing. ;P 
FACT: In Shibuya the Hime gyaru and B-gals DON"T hang out in the same places!


Bohemian:
It is the normal bohemian looks, vests ,loose fitting clothes,perhaps fur just with lashes and lenses ^_-


Ganguro:
I already explained this fashion trend but any how~ They usually have tanned skin and bleach (or othe colored) hair, bright clothes and outstanding make-up!(link:http://straawcherry.blogspot.com/2012/05/good-day-summer-holiday-has-finally.html )


Hime Gyaru:
The most cutest thing yet!They usually have really big and pooffy curly hair,high heels,long gel/acrylic nails and in general look like little princesses
POINT: "hime" means "princess", but just because you look like one, don't mean you act like one girl~ xD


Hime kaji:
It's the more toned down version of hime gyaru, more toned down clothing,hair etc.


Kogal/kogyaru
It's for the school girls that carry off the gyaru look at school with bow ties,cute socks,accessories,hair,nails etc., but acceptable for schools. My friends call it the "hentai look" but basically it kind of is (not hating i loooove it!)


Manba:
I explained it again before.Manba and Yamanba are like ganguro basically, the are sub-groups.(http://straawcherry.blogspot.com/2012/05/good-day-summer-holiday-has-finally.html link)
POINT:Difference between yamanba and manba,manba has white eye make-up below the eye also.DO NOT CONFUSE THEM! If you do you might get beat to death with a stick O.O


Mode Gyaru:
My personal FAV! It's basically sticking to colors like black and white but you can mix in other colors.Best shop for mode gyaru is EMODA (<3) and the model below is cheesie. She is a blogger and my idol :'),i have followed her blog forever and i looove her fashion style plus she inspired me to be a blogger(http://cheeserland.com/). anyway continuing from the fan moment.


Onee-gyaru:
It's the girls who graduated from the gyaru style into a more mature version of gyaru.They dress more elegantly and softly,less dramatic (love<3)


Rokku:
For girls who want to look rockish with the gyaru zing! to it.Dark clothing,make-up and accessories. Super sexy and gothic~


Romantic:
Elegant and romantic look.Sweet subtle clothing and hair,make-up.


Yamanba:
Explained(link:http://straawcherry.blogspot.com/2012/05/good-day-summer-holiday-has-finally.html).Sub-group to Ganguro.Bleach(colorful)hair,bright clothes,outstanding make-up.
NOTE: Nowadays it's a lot easier to spot a manba instead of a yamanba.


Since I don't actually live in Japan, I don't know all the gyaru types,but here are the most popular ones that I could find.
 Anyway so that's all for this post. Hope you enjoyed it and coming up a contact lens review (hopefully) but i'm going to be busy packing for my trip to Dubai (yay!) so I probably won't blog as much.
Anyway byebye
Amyxoxo

Dariya Palty Root Bleach Touch Up Review~

Why hello there sunshines!
 I am currently sitting in front of my computer screen scoffing down on some yummy cherries.
 As I mentioned in m last post this one will be a review. But first: Summer has finally hit Cyprus and I hate it! I love the fact that i have no school but i am a person who loves the cold. I'd rather it be -20 then have it be 30C. But anyway so far it hasn't been that bad and on the 29th of June I'm off to Dubai!


*

I'll be going there for a month or so to visit my dad so shopping!And the best part everywhere is air-conditioned! I know to many people this isn't a big deal but in Cyprus most places don't have air con. and i end up sweating like a pig in a sauna house (wtf?) so yeah! And even the bus stops are air conditioned .wtf?

So on to the review. As you know i looove the palty natural bleach brown color but since it is bleach it does damage your hair. And since the end of your hair have already the desired color why re-bleach it? So i bought this dye to see how it works.But first i'll show how to use it ^_^.

This is the front and back of the box.If you bleached your hair really-light blond this isn't going to work for you.


Ok so in the bow there is a comb,two gels,a tray,a pair of gloves and Japanese instructions.


Now Take the 1 gel and squeeze a line of it from the beginning to the end of the tray.
Do the same with gel 2. The two stripes should be parallel one to another.
Next with the black side of the comb collect the product and apply to your hair. 


Split your hair in to 3 parts and start applying the product all over the roots.


Here are the results. 
                                        Before                      After


Marks:
Color: I left on the dye for about 25 min. and I think that the roots are still slightly too dark :s but over all according to the box the color came out the same next time i will leave it longer. But over all 4.5/5
Stench: It smells like bleach (duh!) but after about 2-3 min. i couldn't really smell it.4.5/5
Stinging: 5/5, it didn't hurt at all! I don't know why but this one didn't sting, or at least not so much for me to complain about.
Content: 5/5 I had long roots and i have enough for about another 2 uses( if i have short roots)
 Over all I say 4.75/5^_^
So that's all for today's blog, ohh btw i dyed the ends of my hair bright pink! But to my annoyance it doesn't really show in pictures 
             

And here's a cute picture of my snuckums whilst on a walk ^_^             

She was growling at a cat -_-"

Anyway that's all for now,
Bye-bye 
Amyxoxo
