Ganguro FAIL!

Good day sunshine's,
 My summer holiday has finally started! No more exams, no more waking up at 5:30 and NO MORE SCHOOL TILL SEPTEMBER WEEE!
 Since I am on holiday i spent my first day planning out my summer holiday time which mostly consists of:
a) K-Dramas
b)Anime(i need to catch up on my bleach and one piece ep.)
c)Stalking Big Bang and B.A.P. 
d)my skin care routine
e)looking after my body more exercise
f)catch up on some reading, I miss spending 30-1:30 hours a day reading my Agatha Christi Books!
 So since i had that settled and i was bored i decided to do something that I have been wanting to do for quite some time now... I wanted to see how i look as a GANGURO/MANBA! Originally i was going to do a video and post on YouTube but since i look dreadful i decided i would just do my make-up and cam-whore. Before i post my pictures and scare the crap out of people (lol) i will explain what ganguro and manba is in a few words
 Amy's wisdom talk:
 Ganguro: It is a fashion trend followed in Japan by mostly teenage girls and was very popular during the beginning of 2000. It went extinct around 2004 but they are back more dramatically! Ganguro's are seen having very dark tanned skin and bleach blonde/orange hair but can also have other colors and heavy white make-up on and under the eyes with colorful circle lens and BIG eyelashes. Manba and Yamanba are subgroups to Ganguro the difference between them is that Yamanba only has white eye make-up above the eye and manba also has underneath. They usually have very colorful clothes and stuffed animals with them. Ganguro's are the rebels of gyaru fashion. They go against what traditionally Japanese women were meant to be. They had white skin (japanese women) they dyed it dark, they had black hair they bleached it, they had light natural make-up they made it over the top and funky.

Now that i explained that here are a few pictures:
Ganguros also sometimes wear lays 




This is Gehako, She is one of the most famous ganguro models if no the MOST famous 

I don't know who the girl in the stitch outfit is but i want one of those!



 Now that i showed you pictures i will give my opinion about ganguro's. I personally am more of a one gyaru style combined with casual and himekaji ( casual gyaru) but i have no problem at all with ganguro's. In fact I actually like their style kind of and i really respect the girls who have confidence to rock this! When I go to Japan I will probably run up to every ganguro trying to take a picture ( wtf is wrong with me?) so yeah. I didn't do the transformation to tease them. I know a lot of people call them " rejects" and "fake gyarus" but i really support them and what they represent.
 Now for my transformation...well it was kind of a fail. Since I'm in general new to the AMAZING WORLD OF GYARU i still have a bit of problem with the make-up (grr!). No.1 my foundation was a bit too light because it's the darkest one i had around the house, my white eye shadow is too light and has got more of a beige color because i couldn't find cream shadow ( Cyprus sucks B***s at make-up and if i found it would cost like30euros wtf?) so i used white gel/cream liner and stretched the crap out of my skin and it blended in with my foundation and blah blah... and my lip line and nose strip sucks also so it was a fail. Maybe sometime in the future i will do another BETTER ganguro look. Maybe after i visit Japan and get tips from ganguro galls ^_-
so here are my pics:
This one before i flipped it i thought looked kind of cute :/

Here i just look plain creepy, like a pedo-phile " Hi kids want some candy?" ahahha

I haven't finished blinging my cam. so no comments please!

I actually kind of like this one ^_^

Now I'm going to start ranting about B.A.P. (cause i can). So i have been looking them up, a lot lately (stalker alert) and according to allkpop.com they are going to have a live chat on June 4th  11:00PM EST ! Lets just say when i found out i almost pissed myself. That time in america is 11:00 pm and in Cyprus 6:00 wtf? Early or not i'm going on chat! So for all you baby's out there here's a link for where their going to have the chat : leave any questions you have ^_^ http://forums.allkpop.com/threads/exclusive-allkpop-live-stream-event-with-b-a-p-june-4th-2012-11-00pm-est.5106/ 
Anyway hope you all enjoyed this post. Here another video of the gorgeous drop dead sexy B.A.P 

And here's JYJ's Heaven, i know another relevantly "old" song but i just heard it a few days ago and with the video i cried buckets(lol) after i heard the Jaejung wrote the song for a friend that committed suicide :(

So that's all and i will talk to you soon till then Bye-bee
Amy xx

HAUL and etc ^_^

Hello my lovelies,
 It has been a looong time since i wrote a post. Yeah I've been really busy with school because i have exams now and well haven't really had anything to blog about.But I'm back ^_^
 Today i'm going to blog about all the things I bought this month, because i can. It's not a lot of things and i had it in my system to splurge my money on things that i don't need but want :)


Ok so first off i bought 5 packets of lashes because they were a bargain and free shipping on Sasa and a good price for them on Ebay, you all know you do the same so don't judge me -_- All together i spent about 60-70$ which is a steal! In Cyprus it costs like 30$ for one pair! Any way i tried them all out and they all have amazing quality, the hairs feel really soft and almost real O.o if you want pictures of them on let me know ^_^
Left to right: Tsubasa Masuwaka : No.11 pure sweet and No.9 natural dolly, Eyemazing: Mizukitty Ribbon Series No.301 and Eyematsuge No.3 bambi, BN natural lower lash No.9


I got etude house precious mineral BB cream bright fit and it is amazing! It has a matt finish and makes your skin look really healthy ( not that mine isn't >_<)
Popteen June 2012 issue! If you want scans let me know ^__^. On page 3 or 4 there is an interview with bigbang, I can't read Japanese but pics are worth 1000 words. I just wish I could buy one of them online! -_-


I got a pair of HK glasses. They are SUPER KAWAII! the only thing i don't like is the color of the bow :/ maybe i'll get another pair but with a pink bow ^_^
And the eyelash glue is so freakin' amazing! My lashes don't budge once they stick, only problem is that it hurts a bit to remove but anyway ^_^

Got this HK travel lens box and i blinged it out ^_^ I forgot to take pics of how it is inside though >_<

These are more of an arts and crafts thing i did when i was bored.  Me and my sis have the same air-con. remote so i pimp-a-fied them so we can tell which is which, the one with totoro and the flower is mine, the one with the sutt fairy is my sis and i did my mums because well.... i was bored ^_^

I took this pic today, Yuki fell asleep on the couch so I took a pic. She looks so sweet and  innocent, but she ain't! Probably the only time she is an angel is when she's asleep. She looks so cute i want to squeeze her~ 
So that's what i bought this month, it's not a lot and they didn't cost that much. Or should i re-fraze it, not as much as it would cost to buy in Cyp.  

Songs of the week(s) ^__^:
Lately I've been listening to this song constantly, I am not a big fan of 4minute but i do love this song, I like how it seems like a love song and yet it's for haters, for this 4MINUTE FIGHTING!

and JJ project finally debuted! I was waiting for them to debut since dream high2! They look so cute and bite-able!
As much as i do love my BIGBANG ( the k-pop group, don't anything dirty ^_-) i've become a HUGE fan of B.A.P., unlike other k-pop bands they actually look like they have more testosterone than me O.O(i'm not offending other groups) and I especially like the meaning of this song, it's from their first album I think but i still really like it and I want a video clip, it's unfair that Zelo is 2 months younger than me because I can't drool over him. It is against my nature to drool over a guy that is even a day younger than me >_>  Actually i like all their songs but I can't be arsed to post them all :/

And ofc my gorgeous, drop dead sexy BIGBANG! They are WOW FANTASTIC BABY! get it? According to Simon and Martina from Eat Your Kimchi Taeyang should put on a shirt. I do not agree! In fact if they all decide to go shirtless or wear even less clothes i am ok with that ^__^

And last but not least, SHINee's lucifer. I know it is a relevantly "old" song but I suddenly started to like it and it constantly plays in my mind. It is even worse when i'm doing my exams and this happens -__-
 So that's all for today ^__^. Hope you enjoyed the post and ttyl.
Love Amy xoxo ^__^

Geo Princess Mimi Almond Brown Review!

Ok so I have my Hello Kitty cup with green tea and I'm set to go.
 Today I'm going to review the  Geo Princess Mimi Almond Brown. I got these about 2 months ago from http://geocontactlens.net  and I've worn them quite a lot so i'm comfortable to review them ^_^. 

Into the details:


Life Span : 1 Year Disposable
Power Available : 0.00 to -6.00
Diameter : 15 mm
Base Curve : 8.6
 Here are some pictures from the website on how they're meant to look :

How the lens is meant to look 
How the lens looks











Now keep in mind depending on the color of your eyes and the darkness reacts with the result of how the lens is going to look. I actually have really dark brown eyes nearly dark and it somewhat brightens them and makes them look big but still natural.
This is how it looks on close up in the sun
As you can see in the sun light you can see that it has a sort of ashy-brown color and a dark rim around the lens. 

Close up in-doors
In-doors it blends in completely with my natural eye color and slightly enlarges them and the black rim isn't as visible.

From far away ;)
Comfort: 4/5, I have worn them all day but they do tend to sting after about 2-3 hours and you might need eyedrops.
Color: 5/5 it blends in very well with my eye color and i like it ^_^
Size: 5/5 for 15mm it is quite enlarging but it still looks natural.
Over all rating 4.5/5
I recommend this to people who want to buy circle lenses but don't want them to be TOO big and more of a natural effect.
 So that all for now, i'll try and review the rest of the bambi series soon and some others
Till then Good Bye world ^__^
