[March 2024] Valentine's Nails & New Makeup

 

Hello angels I'm back again! I had to take a little break because I went overseas to handle some family affairs and also I got plastic surgery lol. I'm still healing so I haven't been online much but I did vlog the experience so maybe I'll post it one day. If not I'll definitely blog about it once I catch up from the backlog so you'll just have to wait until I get there (⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)

I don't usually get themed nails but I felt festive for Valentine's. I saw some cute leopard print nails where some of the spots where hearts so I asked my nail tech to do her own version and this is what she came up with.

My bf also needed a restock on some skincare so I decided to grab some products I've been eyeing to pad out the order.

I've always wanted to try Flortte so I was happy they had a few things in stock that I was interested in! Unfortunately it seems they've pulled most of their products from Yesstyle so I'll have to shop directly from their website now but I really liked the lip liners and the dry shampoo puff!

I was really getting a good handle of my signature make style so here's a photo dump of the 2 eye looks I did! One was for my nail appointment and the other was for dinner the next day ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

That's all for this post! I hope you enjoyed reading. See you again soon~

[Jan 2024] 20 Minute Foolproof Gyaru Makeup (+Video Tutorial)

 

Hi angels! In my last post I mentioned I was able to get my gyaru makeup done in just 20 minutes and this sparked a lot of interest on twitter and instagram. I had some requests for a tutorial so I decided to film one!

I posted this on youtube (embedded below) and on instagram here.

The main point to creating this makeup in a short amount of time is to use products and techniques that lower the margin of error. This means using more cream or stick formula products to reduce the amount of time you're spending on blending. You also want to avoid high saturation products so you don't make the mistake of putting on too much too soon.

I still used eyeshadow in this video but if you want to be even quicker you can use eyeshadow sticks like these judydoll ones or the ones from Laura Mercier:

Let me know what you thought of this video! Are you able to get your gyaru beat done in under 20 minutes? I'd love to know any tips or tricks you might have to share as well.

Thanks for reading, see you in the next post (´｡• ◡ •｡`) ♡

[Jan 2024] Dineout @ Jungle Room

 

Hello again angels! It was Dineout Festival time again so it was time to get ready for some good eats. If you're not familiar, Dineout is an annual food festival event in my city. I only recently starting participating in this again so I was excited to see what we had in store this year. You can read about our last year's adventure here.

It's been cold as shit in January these last few years so the day we planned this outing was no exception. It was raining too and in general, very miserable out.

I didn't really feel like dressing up because of the rain so I kept things casual. I only had like 20 minutes to get ready so I did my usual makeup and made it a little more smokey in the droop. I really liked how it turned out! ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

We went to this new restaurant that opened called Jungle Room. They have an Indonesian and Japanese fusion inspired menu that's combined with French cooking techniques. The interior is so luxurious and chic. I didn't take many photos because it was quite dim but here are some from google to give you an idea of how beautiful it was. You can also check out their instagram here for more up to date pics.

We were sat in this library looking corner and it was so cozy. They updated the space so instead of the low little coffee table in the picture above we had a taller dining table.

We had a set menu for the night but they had some oysters on special so we ordered some to share. They were delicious and I loved how they tabasco came in this dropper bottle.

For my set I chose the tuna tartare, beef ribs, and ice cream sando. Everything was sooo tasty and the ribs literally fell off the bone when they were plating so they just put the bone on top of the meat LMAO ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

Since my friends and I are gluttons and eating is our favorite group activity, after dinner we went to get bingsu at a cafe down the street (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)

We shared the tiramisu bingsu that was on special at the time. It was so decadent!! (*´▽`*) I had so much fun that night. I can't wait to visit these two spots again, they were amazing!!

That's all for now, see you in the next post -`♡´-
