♡ How To Care For False Lashes ♡

Hi gals! So one thing all gals have in common is that we LOVE lashes! The bigger, the better! Lashes can get expensive though, and they don't last forever!  But today I'm gonna share some tips and tricks on how to keep your lashes looking great and lasting longer.

 Tip 1: Clean the glue off silly! After a couple of uses, glue on the lashes can get cakey and be visible when worn, which is not a cute look.  So use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol and apply it to the glue, then gently peel it off. The rubbing alcohol will make it easier to remove and will eliminate bacteria

 Tip 2: Store them in a safe place!  This will prevent them from being lost, and will keep them clean. Store them in a lash case, the original packaging, or DIY it and put them in a container you have lying around. 

 Tip 3: Clean eyeliner and Mascara off! This is basically the same as removing glue. You don't want your lashes to have black dried up gunk on them, so use rubbing alcohol or makeup remover!

 Tip 4: Buy Quality Lashes! You usually get what you pay for when it comes to lashes. So when you buy a case of 10 pairs of lashes for $1 on Ebay, don't expect them to last you long. My favorite brand to use are Charming Kiss, Dolly Wink, and Diamond Lash. 

Sorry for the short post, this week has been super busy! OTL. I hope this post was helpful though! See you soon.

🎃 Happy Galoween! 🎃

Hello! Yesterday was Halloween (As most of you know) and Halloween is my favorite holiday!  Halloween fell on a Monday this year which meant I couldn't stay out as late as I usually do, but I still enjoyed the holiday and dressed festive for school!

I wore a cute jack-o-lantern top and leggings. Very casual and comfy but still spoopy!  After school I went to a costume party at my friends house.

I went as a scarecrow!  I just bought this costume at a party store, since I have no sewing abilities OTL.

My makeup. 

My nails were so boring, and I had been seeing so many cute gyaru halloween nail looks on tumblr, so I ran to the store and bought a set. 

They glowed in the dark too! 

The party was really cute. I brought cookies that were in the shape of bats and pumpkins.  They also had really cute decorations!

They also had a table where people could do tarot readings and play with the oujia board.  Very spoopy LOL

Afterwards I went home and watched some scary movies. This morning I had both a candy hangover and literal hangover.  Now that it's November 1st I am ready for Christmas! hahah
                                                                                 
      

Fall 2016 Mood Board: Preppy Gal

Hi Gals!  Last week I made a mood board in Fashion class and I think they are a really creative way of showing things you find aesthetically pleasing. So today I have made a fall mood board for the fashion I have been loving so far this season.  I call the style in this mood board, "Preppy gal"!

This fall I have been really inspired by looks seen in earlier Tommy Hilfiger Collections and the show "Gossip Girl" which represent the stereotypical Ivy League student style. 

Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2013 collection and Serena Van Der Woodsen on Gossip Girl.

In gyaru my inspirations for this style have been Tsubasa Masuwaka x Girls Doors, older Liz Lisa fall collections, and the more geek-chic amekaji styles.

The preppy look can be incorporated into himekaji as well! In the mood board I feature a Yumetenbo dress that is perfect for fall and has a plaid print which is perfect for the style I also included a Liz Lisa Coord (top right). In the fall and winter it is not rare to see darker browns and reds in himekaji, which are perfect colors for the gyaru prep style! 

As far as makeup and hair goes, dark neutrals and darker lip colors go great with this fashion!  I chose a picture of larme model, Risa Nakamura solely because I love her lipstick choice and the glasses she is wearing go perfectly with the cute and nerdy look.

Some essentials of this style are:

- Letterman Cardigan

- Plaid Skirt

- Barets

- Schoolgirl Ties

- Color Tights (Navy, Red, Green, Brown)

- Cable Knit Sweater

- Black or Brown Flat Shoes (Oxfords, Flats, Loafers)

- Glasses

- Blazer

Thank you for reading! So what do you think of Preppy gal? I think this style is interesting because the aspects of typical Ivy School prep fashion can be seen in many different gyaru styles such as himekaji, amekaji, and onee. The preppy trend hasn't had much of a spotlight in gyaru either, but I hope to see more of this style in the gyaru community!
