Love Para 3 Angeleek Routine

I just love watching videos of Angeleek! They're so awesome; manba goddesses! 

Anyhow, found this video of them doing a routine from Love Para 3 that I would like to learn.  Unfortunately, the name of the song isn't given, but I could probably find it out with a little digging around.

Here's the dance, both mirrored and un-mirrored

Have fun Para Para-ing!

Ichigo's Circle Lens review~

Hello~
I've been contemplating if I should make a Circle Lens review and well, why not? XD
here it be~~~ ;D (I will be showing you my oldest contacts-newest)

ok lets start!

These are my oldest contacts i have so far and they are the GEO Princess Mimi/ Sesame Grey lenses. I purchased these off of Yesstyle.com and they were about $30+shipping.
I honestly have to say they aren't the most comfortable circle lenses I've worn but the color and design definitely pops! The size of these are 15mm (-0.00). These were definitely my favorite for the longest time~ and gray (in my opinion) suits me best. I'm glad i purchased these because of how they look and that they were designed by Tsubasa Masuwaka <3

The second oldest pair I own are the GEO Magic Color lens Angel Brown. I purchased these around the same amount as the Princess Mimi lens ($30+shipping) also from Yesstyle.These lenses are a bit more comfortable to wear and the brown color also has a vibrant glow. I've worn these multiple times before and they don't get old :) I definitely recommend these lenses if you are looking for a more "natural" look. The size is 14.5mm (-0.00). 

The third pair of lenses I have are the Honoo Blue Circle Lenses. These pair of lenses are my most VIBRANT and COMFORTABLE lenses I've ever owned. Even in the dark they are super VIBRANT, also the feel of it on your eye, it's as though you haven't put anything on your eye, it's really amazing :O. I simply love these lenses, especially at night. The size of these lenses are 15mm (-0.00) and I purchased these lenses at Candylens.com, one of my favorite circle lens site :). I definitely recommend these, the other colors are just so vibrant and gorgeous~ Where them at night and you will definitely get noticed.

My fourth pair of contacts are the GEO Xtra Grey. My friend actually bought these for me (HOW SWEET IS SHE? :DDD <3) They are so so so BEAUTIFUL and elegant I simply adore them~ The size is 15mm (-0.00). I wear them on casual feeling days, when I'm laid back or something haha. They are yes, comfortable and just i love that there is a thin black ring around and a simple design inside and the grey just spreads out, I love it. 

Ad my last pair of contacts (that i opened LOL) are the EOS Candy Violet~ <3~!!~!!! THESE ARE MY FAVORITE CONTACTS AT THE MOMENT :D I've been DYING to get EOS circle lenses in FOREVER and finally got them, because my friend got me these too :D (as well as others ;D).

These lenses are simply gorgeous and they are as comfortable as the Honoo Blue lenses. I have fallen in love with these. They make you look so cute and doll like or I'd like to say, Angelic :). The size is 14.5mm (-0.00).

Last but not least, these are the other lenses my friend got for me. The EOS Candy Blue,Green, and Brown. They are all the same size 14.5mm (-0.00). I'm going to wait until one or two of my older circle lenses expire to open one of these. I'm especially excited to wear the brown ones because those were the original EOS circle lenses I wanted to purchase. They are all so beautiful and I can't wait :). Sorry I forgot to mention that all these lenses last a year (from the day you open until the next year on the day you opened them, then they expire). When I open my unopened contacts i will make a review on them :)

    

That's all for now :) I will ttyl! 

<3 PEACE

Facebook Manba Page

Hi guys!

Just wanted to tell you about an awesome Facebook manba page that I absolutely love! 

Here's a link to it:  Manba Love

And here are some screen caps of the page

I really recommend liking it.  They have so many great photos of different gyaru-sas, manba (both Japanese and Gaijin), senta, kuronba, and much much more!

Have fun with it and enjoy!

Manba! (*^▽^*)

Akina here!

I'm finally posting the pics I took when I wore manba for the first time! Yay!  It was so awesome wearing it, and I can hardly wait until the next time I do when Ichigo and I go to Japan Town again to take some purikura and buy more magazines.

P.S. I've gotten more tan since I took these pics lol (´･ω･`)
(I'm also wearing my Alba Rosa bracelet)

Akina is Back + Cut My Kanekalon

Hey everyone! Akina here! 

Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I've kinda been focusing on things other than gyaru..... Anyhow, I finally cut and layered my kanekalon, way back on 8/7!  I've been so lazy about uploading the pics, but here they are!

Here's the hair I cut off

And hair on the floor...

And even more hair on the floor!

And the finished product  

(I'm wearing my Alba Rosa bracelet)

(*^▽^*)

I'm really happy with how it turned out, considering that I've never layered hair before.  In order to add more volume, I teased them a bit on the undersides where it wasn't visible.  I did have to do more teasing when I wore them again because they lost their volume when they were stored away.  

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

じゃあ〜 <3

my hair at the moment :)

Tis Ichigo here~
I recently died my hair so its split (half carmelish blondish and half deep choco brown i guess you can say :P)
but the products that i used to dye my hair were Palty Bleach Hard Gold Brown and Palty Ganache Tart

Basically what i did was dye my hair with the bleach then just split my hair in half and put some of my bang to one side and then dye the other half the brown color. I've attempted this style sooooo SO SO SOOO many times and I've finally got the results i wanted :D

here are some pics :D

old natural straight hairr~

curled~~~ :D 

and well.....yeah LOL ;D nisuuuu

yup yup that's all for no :D PEACE

K-Palette 1Day Tattoo 24h Real Lasting Liquid Eyeliner Review~

Hello Everyone!~ 

This is Ichigo Here~

I haven't been on in so long here, I've been so busy with school work but recently i ordered this Japanese brand eyeliner and I've heard so many good reviews on this product!

Ok lets start!

First off I purchased this product on amazon for about $16 plus an additional $4 shipping, so $17to be exact, that's how much i got my Koji Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner for.

So I heard this liquid eyeliner stays on well, dries fast (in less than 10 seconds), it does not smudge, and lasts almost all day...... and I have to say......YES this is all true :D!! It is one of the best Japanese cosmetics I've ever purchased in awhile! I'm very pleased with this product! I definitely see similarities with the K-palette liquid liner and the Koji Dolly Wink liquid liner, they both have the same felt tip applicator and they are the same size, BUT! the KOji Dolly Wink liquid liner is a bit darker than the K-palette one (if you want to make your liner dark jut apply 2 or more coats to get the desired color you want). The K-palette liner is very precise and you can make different types of shapes with them from the thinnest line of eyeliner to the most dramatic lines. I highly recommend this to a beginner if they are having troubles using regular flexible eyeliners (idk if that made any sense at all, but to me it did XD). If you you are a monolid like me then this is a really good product to purchase. Me being a monolid I always have to suffer blinking and getting eyeliner all over my lids,  which makes me look like I have panda eyes D: T_T but this product definitely dries quick and does not smudge ONE BIT, unless you rub your eyes constantly. If I had to rate this I'd give it a 9.5/10. This is just an amazing product (even though a bit pricey) but hey, don't knock it till you try it :) I will post some pics of what it looks like and what it looks like on my eyes :P 

OH I ALMOST FORGOT the K-palette liner i purchased came with beautiful eyelashes!!! SCORE! :D im just going to take a few pics :) ttyl (heres pics i found online to show you first)
