My summer holiday so far

I've been a busy little bee recently, mainly with my job and being ill. My body has a tendency to give up when I don't have school so currently I'm suffering a strange stomach virus that makes me both incredibly hungry and nauseous all the time and have developed a jaw joint disorder that renders me unable to open my mouth properly. FUNNNNN. /forever ill

I've been up to a lot of stuff recently, I can't remember most of it tbh but  here's some of teh stuff I did

1) . I got a spontaneous text 2 weeka ago from Chriss asking if me and Ananya wanted to go to the McQueen bar with her and her friend Alex so naturally we said yes. The bar itself was AWESOME, and manly.

 For a place that was supposed to be a burlesque bar, I would have expected the attendees to be a bit flashier but 95% of them were office worker so the 4 of us were all alone and colourful in our little corner sticking out like the muti-coloured hair weird clothed individuals that we are.

Nights out with my London-Crew (as I shall know dub them) always attract as least one weirdo, this time in the form of an office worker and his friends who knows about my secondary secondary school I went to (("You're awesome, even though you went to a shitty school") Talking of my school, I found my old uniform yesterday))

I'd be very freaked out out if someone recognizes my uniform or even goes to the same school as I did hah!

and we spent most of the evening making faces at each other when he wasn't looking.

The performers themselves were really awesome, I wish I got some pictures but my i-phone copped out, saw saw a sword swallower, a suspended-from-ceiling hoop performance, a fan dance and this really odd one which involved a girl, wearing flesh coloured latex bodysuit inflating hearts that were attached to various points on her outfit. It was AWESOME.

Basically we drank a lot and lots of screaming and lolz were had. I haven't been that drunk in YEARS. Luckily I managed to stumble home with Ananya after drinking 6 glasses of water before I left the bar. the rest was a bit of a blur.

2) I went to Emilie's 21st birthday celebration. It was so so much fun! It was nice to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while.

From L-R, Emilie, Farrah, Marie, Me and Emma

being classy in Wagamamas. I was surprised to find out that we do actually have gyaruo in England -flail-

Lol at Marie.
People always seem to have a lot of shit to say about the gal community in the UK and I honestly don't see why. They're all incredibly funny and friendly~ I can;t wait to see them all again!

3) Uh... i forget XD I've seen friends quite a lot and slobbed around

I haven't done a proper buys post in ages, I haven't been shopping as much as I used to but for some reason I seem to go down on money a lot faster and I don't quite know why.... probably McDonalds actually SO HERE IS ONE.

Peter pan collars seem to be quite popular with Gal, particularly Mode and Retro Girly style and I keep seeing these kinda of shirts popping up on tumblr and I thought I'd jump the bandwagon, because why not! It was £10 from Primark. Not bad I think though I do miss the days when things in Primark were like £6...

I need to wear a camisole underneath. Well i don't but I don't want to scare people.

Collar detail!!

Mum forced me to buy a pair of flat shoes because I literally don't have any so I found these in Primark too. I wouldn't normally go for something like these but they're nice and versatile~

£10 methinks

This is my latest splurge, a leather dress from Topshop for £50. It looks super shiny and gross from where I turned up the colour contrast but it's actually a lovely matte fake leather and it looks awesome on, it kind of makes me think of a slutty maid outfit haha!

and these platform fake converse from ebay.

Suddenly I've lost all inspiration to continue this post so here's some random pics from recently

Right now I'm off to tick off stuff from my checklist of stuff to take to university!

Pinky Paradise sponsored post: Bambi Lens grey!

HELLO ALL!!

I've been summoned by Pinky Paradise  to do a little review for yall, this time featuring ...

Geo Bambi a.k.a Princess Mimi lenses in Sesame Grey

Some facts

Diameter : 15mm  (i.e they large)

Water Content : 38%

Base Curve : 8.6mm

Life Span : 1 year disposal

If you're into Gyaru then there is a 90% chance you would have heard of the Bambi series before. They're those oh-so-sparkly-and-awesome lenses that were created by the magical Tsubasa Masuwaka that are favored by a lot of famous Gals.

 

and here are some of the other colours from the series

After about a week, I received my wee little package in the mail and everything was covered lovingly with bubble wrap.

POT SHOT. (lol pun lol) 

They even have a Geo sticker of authenticity which, kind of shockingly, you don't see on a lot of "geo lenses" sold of contact lens sites.

Is it weird I got really excited over the fact that the packing is way different to most Geo lenses you receive?

 Let's have a look!

In my package I also received these free hair Velcro strips. You use them to hold you hair away from your face without getting kinks in your fringe they're pretty amazing

I apologize for how unsymmetrical my eye makeup is in both of these picture lul

With flash

without flash

I'm kind of obsessed with them...

In fact I don't think I've worn another pair of lenses since I got these ones, I like them so much.

RATINGZ

Enlargement: *****   I don't like lenses that look too big, so these are PERFECT

Comfort: *****  No pain at all, I wore them for about 11 hours today and they didn't dry at all

Pattern: *****   The design is really pretty I can't really fault them

Where you like mode style, Agejo or Amekaji, the design suits any look, heavy or light makeup, they really are lovely~

If you're interested in buying a pair then click here. Pinky Paradise is selling them for $23.90 which is like £14! Bargain~ They also have the other 3 colours

I've also been given a coupon code for you to abuse!

If you quote Galaxygirl when buying your lenses, you get a free cute animal animal case to store them in plus a mystery gift!

Pinky Paradise are really quick with sending their stuff, they ship their products out in 1-3 days, have a mahoosive choice of 350+ lenses plus they sell lashes, BB Creams, face masks, and a ton of makeup so it's kind of awesom, especially if you're in a Tsubasay mood then you can get Candy Doll makeup and Dolly Winks lashed at the same time lul 

What do you guys think of Bambi lenses? 

g2g sprint to my bed now. It's calling me liek woah.

New hair bad weather and shopping

Last week, Marie and I went to an event called Hyper Japan in London which was like a Japanese culture event with added pop-culture. It's a fairly new event, only beginning the year before which I also attended. It was a bit disappointing last year but we had high hopes for this years one because the venue was A LOT bigger.

When we first tured up at the venue, the cue was MASSIVE, it wrapped around half of the outside of the Olympia hall, which is a big building. We queried the staff at the front of the queue and asked how long the queue was and she said...

5 hours. 

Marie and I were just about ready to go home when we saw our friend Rei who just happened to be staff for the event also she managed to sneak us in the venue through the staff entrance :D 

We got bored in literally 15 minutes but we did manage to bump into quite a few people we know which was nice :D

Like last year, there seemed to be no consistency with the stalls, there would be interesting stuff next to totally boring or irrelevant stuff and there were TOO MANY food stalls. To its credit, it did attract a lot of incredibly well dress people.

Talking of food-stalls, I don't know what thy did to the food there but me, Marie and another girl we know were being sick everywhere the day after. What  lovely reminder of the event!

I''ve finally had my fringe cut back in... well... I did it myself, I hope it doesn't look too bad. It came to a point when my fringe was blinding me and I had been procrastinating enough about cutting it cut back in. What motivated me to actually do it was this picture.

On another note, the foundation I bought is too light for my skin and looks BLOODY AWFUL

 THE BABY HAIR. THE BABY HAIR. LOOK AT IT.

I also thought I might as well dye my hair too because you can see from that picture, my roots are vile. I tried L'oreal Sublime Mousse in this shade

I've wanted to try a mousse dye ever since they became available in the shops. The Palty advertisements make out that the foam is all frothy like shampoo and I got really excited but my dreams were crushed because once you put the mousse on your hair, it's not moussey anymore D: (Unless that was only on my hair because I have too much of it...)

The results of the fringe trim, and dye

That is not light brown.

It's grown on my now though. 

Also this week, my parents and sister have gone to visit my aunt in Cornwall for a week so I have the whole house to myself

Dancing with joy. Loud music 24 hours a day.

Yesterday when I went out with Chriss for a fabric hunt. She's hoping to make a little clothing collection so we were out looking for funky fabrics to use. I dressed completely inappropriately as it was raining really hard and it was humid and disgusting. I didn't style my hair because I knew it would just fall flat in the rain

creep creep creep creep creep suddenly my hair looks light again

 I was really happy with my makeup that day, I was sent some Bambi grey lenses by Pinky Paradise which I will review for next week

Dunno what my camera was doing but my nails are pink with red tips, not orange and green

 I'm pretty sure we managed to pick up £200 of fabric in under an hour. I really want to see her designs~

We joked that she had enough fabric to turn her flat into a massive den haha~

I then forced Chriss to help me look for KTZ which is a London and Paris based uni-sex brand that is really popular with K-pop groups.

2NE1 even mention it in the English version of Can't Nobody

I had no idea there was actually a store in London because I found the brand through a Japanese website but my friend Daisy (omg I will tell you more about her later) informed me that there was one. Right by my fave restaurant. I had never seen it there before. I suck.

and OMG it was like a wonderland. I have never been to excited to go into a shop in my whole life.One of the customers who was apparently doing a fashion editorial (and had just borrowed a massive pile of their clothes) took a liking to us and as said 'YOU'RE SO STYLISH, WHERE ARE YOU EVEN FROM?!' and we all flailed and tried stuff on and flailed some more. 

They have a sale on ATM so GET YER ASSES DOWN TO GREEK STREET.

I picked up this cute short hoodie with dolman sleeves for £35, reduced from £135?? I think? something like that.

 and I got excited about what clothes I could wear with it.

ファッションチェック!!  

Jacket: KTZ

Top: Topshop

Harness Necklace: Forever 21

Jeans: Cheap Monday

(there is now a Forever 21 in London, I claim it as my new home)

Chriss picked up this pink dress with an ADORABLE print

Sorry girl, jacking your twitter pictures

It looked really familiar and then I remembered that it's the same dress print that Miliyah Kato is wearing in her video for Baby Baby Baby


It's at 0:21

So I'm definitely going to have to take my ass there some time in the near future again.

I haven't talked about Gal much recently but do not worry, I'm still very much into it (don't think I could ever not be)

Murua recently bought out a range of body-con maxi skirts and I am very much in love with that trend~

I randomly found a similar one in River Island though not in a neon colour. Bit of a shame but it is quite lovely~

It was £18. Bargain!

It also doubles up as a slightly baggy dress!

Pile of stuff ready to take to university

This entry is long enough. Bai Bai darlings~ I'm off to work on a little web-zine article :DD
