I can't believe it's already almost been a month since I last posted!

I've been doing such a bad job at keeping track I swore to myself that I made one already wwww

ANYWAY

middle of October; I got my package from dreamv! in it contained a winter jacket, and two one pieces!

They all fit soo gorgeous (the dress doesn't fit over my boobs in a way that's comfortable though so i'm saving it until I lose more weight ;___; )

pic of everything

and here's the links to everything if you're interested in seeing

a better photo 

red and white one piece

floral one piece

coat

the coat is soooo amazing like I can't even begin 

it's not too thick unfortunately but it does do it's job lmao

and i live in the middle of nowhere in a really REALLY cold place

during the winter (it snowed like the day before halloween)

and it's so warm ;w;

the inside is printed with leopard print which I thought was really cute ehehe

I also got pokemon last month too and I finished it in the same week and lemme tell u

i'm sad and I already miss it

If any of my readers (doubt it) ever want to trade hmu w/ ur friendcodes tho

Halloween itself was a blur; I've been really sick the week during

but my friend Jaron and Gerrod promised to take me out!
unfortunately; some stuff came up so they couldn't and I was already

in my costume so my parents and I went to town to scare people

in wal mart lol

here is my makeup + outfit for that day anyway!
I was a forest princess ヾ(*´∇`)ﾉ 
you can't really tell in this photo but I was wearing like
4 skirts omfg and it still didn't look how I wanted it too

oh well! I felt cute and that's all that matters

Anyway
That's pretty much all that's new in my life I guess??
OH THAT'S A LIE!
I made a few new friends which is nice!
My cousin Owen brought one of his friends over and introduced us
which resulted in me doing his makeup and hanging out in the living room lmao
He's really REALLY gorgeous and he invited me to do his makeup next time
he goes out! He also invited me out to a movie with his friends
whenever we get the chance and I'm excited!

Other than that my life has been pretty boring www
all I've been doing is drawing for like 5 hours in a day
I need a job ;;;;;

anyway thanks for reading! here's a semi recent photo since I got better anyway

in other more important news;

So as I write this it is currently 2:53 am Friday morning

I have a lot of plans, or (well not really), for this weekend

one of which being Nikki's birthday dinner later! I'm not 100% sure if i'm for sure going, but it honestly did mean the world to me that I was even invited in the first place! My bro also invited me to this pokemon ,,thing?? on Saturday and again i'm not sure if it's concrete or not but i'm excited! Mostly because, well,

pokemon man, and of course the always fun family bonding time which was something I always really liked. 

Lets seeeeeeeeeeeee quick recap of this week; 

I went to school on Tuesday! I wore a really REALLY cute outfit that i unfortunately forgot to take pics of :-\\\\ I'm 3/4 done my math course which is really exciting hehe. I went home early that day though, mostly because I just?? wasn't really feeling it I guess. If anything, I just go there and drop off/pick up work which is fine by me considering the fact no one I know even goes there anymore except Lance and we don't really talk as much as I'd like lol. BUT It's all good because it's given me a lot of free time to myself and being me not using that time wisely i watched SOOO MUCH ANIME i'm weaboo trash tbh

I've watched and completed watamote! which i've been kind of iffy about ngl BUT IN ALL HONESTY I really enjoyed it omfg I thought it was hella funny

I also caught up with Oyasumi Punpun and frick man that manga destroyed me i hate everything please PLS check it out if you have the time, also check out Asano Inio's other works too, they're incredible omfg

I've also started drawing more seriously and i'm trying to improve as much as possible because I don't think i'm good at anything else so i might as well work with what i got right? anyway, here's a quick sketch dump i guess (linking from tumblr cus i'm lazy n i'm trash)

And today! I got the first of my packages!! Recently i found i had a lot of extra money i had no idea about so i splurged a lil omg i've been really really really sad lately and i felt like i needed to treat myself something nice so i got a cute kogal outfit from Bodyline, some shoes also from Bodyline and an extra bow bc I wasn't really feelin the one the outfit came with hehe I also ordered a winter jacket and two dresses from Dreamv i'm still waiting on sobs

here's pics of what i got anyway

the shoes are seriously amazing omfg LIKE i mean you're paying for what you get on the site but I was more impressed by the fact that they fit perfectly and were SUPER comfy uwu!! 

here's a quick pic of me wearing it wwww i have really messy

makeup here though haha

Anyway, this post was super jumpy and I'm a horrible writer sobs but I hope you guys have a good weekend! 

i'm back probably

SO HEY long time no see

i feel like the only time i post here is when i realize i haven't posted in awhile wwww

well let's do a quick run down of my summer i guess

june:

-school ended tybg

-MY BEST FRIEND KANE CAME TO VISIT ME FOR 3 WEEKS FROM GEORGIA!! I was soooooo happy because this has been a goal of ours for years, and we finally made it happen! I was really surprised and shocked because normally my parents would be against something like that but we pulled some strings and we managed it and i'm soooo happy

because he's one of the most important people in my life and we had so much fun! the whole trip was a blur tbh, we spent a lot of our time just marathoning animes and true blood ;u; it was really cool because it wasn't weird at all!

It was like we've been hanging out every weekend!

we also went shopping together with my good friend Nikki and then we took him to a pow wow and i introduced him to my family!

By the time he went home he was pretty much well adjusted to rez life hahaha and I may or may not cry a lot bc i miss kane ehehehehehe,,,

i don't really feel like going through all of my photos, but  here are the links on both of our blogs ;u;

I had a lot of fun, we also visited the Hoover Dam and they took me to the jellyfish aquarium ;u; I LOVE jellyfish more than anything and my mom was watching them with me and she said "I can see why you love them so much I can watch them all day" and it really stuck with me

-spent a lot of time reconnecting with Nae, mostly played animal crossing together and hung out at my house

I also met a fellow Edmonton gal by the name of Natalie!!! We took pics together and oooomg i was sick so i looked sooo haggard but she looked absolutely stunning tbhhh and i hope to get an opportunity to hang out w/ her and the other Edmonton gals one day!

-went to the mall and Fringe festival with Nae and Haileigh, we helped Haileigh pick out makeup and stuff since she's new to that kind of stuff and it was really fun! We then went to the fringe which was p interesting since i've never been before hehe

September:

-Started school, my outfits were soo nice the first 3 days and the only friend i have there is Lance wwwww

-went to a football game with Nae and her uncle, i've never been to one before so it was really interesting! We rode the LRTs back to her uncle's vehicle and Nae was laughin bc it was like Evangelion www

October:

-i went to school the other day and started cosmetology and art finally, Lance walked me to my bus which was really nice of him omg LIKE I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS at the buses i was really embarrassed because I forgot which one was mine and lance yelled at some random dude and embarrassed himself and was like "I'm embarrassed too know" AND I JUST

-went on a huge online shopping spree and i'm excited for when i get my packages

Kimchi Bambi Pink Review

hello!!

I know his post is super late omfg 

ANYWAY

Last week I finally got my lenses from loveshoppingholics! Shipping took 6 days and this is what i recieved

everything was packaged extremely well (3 envelopes actually) 

i received bottom lashes from toyoepin and Kimchi bambi pink + Geo lotus green
they gave me a cute anna sui styled eyelash case, dariya hair velcro strips and an eyemask as free gifts!
I gave the eyemask to my brother to try and he said it made his eyes really puffy haha

Here is what the bottles for these particular lenses looked like!!

they're super pretty imo

ok onto the actual review

here is the info from loveshoppingholics   

Origin: Korea Diameter : 16.0mm
 Water Content : 55% Base Curve : 8.6mm Life Span : 1 year disposal

and here are the pictures of me wearing them :~)
(pls ignore my piercing i have no idea what was even going on omfg)

everything is out of 5 stars

Colour + Design : 

★★★★☆

the colour unfortunately doesn't show up that pink on my eyes which is kind

of a bummer since i was really looking forward to trying an unnatural

colour of lens! However, the design is really what drew me in

i had similar lenses in green and they were my all time favs

These lenses are super unnatural and kind of creepy looking but!! That's ok :-)

I love that they're creepy haha

They appear kind of orange from far away which I think is kind of cool

my only thing with these lenses is

lens drift ofc

they can make you look a little,,,lazy eyed haha

Enlargement :

★★★★★

in all honesty these lenses are probably closer to 14.5/15.0 mm

and that's ok because they still enlarge SUPER well imo

the enlargement is PERFECT i'm so satisfied

the design makes them look a little small from far away but they're still

visibly larger :-DDD

Comfort:

★★★★☆

Here is where i was really impressed; obviously wearing them you can still

feel the edges and it takes awhile to get used to

but they're actually kind of more comfortable than my previous bambi lenses

these ones however dry out faster so it's always a good idea to keep

eyedrops on hand

I wore them for a good 10 hours (yikes!) before needing to take them out and I got a lot of

compliments on them at school!

i'm extremely satisfied with these lenses!!!!

here are some photos from when i wore them w/ makeup~

anyway,

have a nice day thank you for reading!!

pls follow my tumblr uwu

ciao !

First post in 2013!

I feel so bad for not updating in so long but I have??? Nothing to update about really

Expect more lens reviews/tutorials though

because i have no life and i recently made a big order haha

with January came the release of Rinkaku (i got the special edition uwu)

and!! I love it so much

I hung the poster up on my wall behind my bird's cage lol

The Akira Yamaoka remix isn't as creepy as i expected it to be

but it's still really nice sounding 

I also preordered the unraveling!! 

Really expensive (like $98!) and i'm mad at myself for spending so much on a mini

album but hey, it's my favourite band so??

:-)

February was pretty much a blur, It wasn't really that good a month in all honesty
this year hasn't been that good but that's ok! It's still the beginning of the year
and there's much more to come
My birthday is next month and i'm kind of nervous?
I'm one year closer to being an adult and it's really nerve wracking haha
school has been going fine i guess
except i'm stuck there for another year because i slacked off too much ww
but that's ok

Here's some semi recent pictures i guess??
trying more dramatic eye make + Natural makeup (no lenses bc mine expired www)

not really much a difference i say???
other than lighting making me look pale af obvs HAHAHA

yeah that's about it

As always, you can follow my tumblr
I'm on there p much everyday and it's much easier!!!

Hey guys

long time no see, huh??

I haven't really been feeling it lately and i apologize for the absence,

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!

Mine was very good ;u;

i got a blackberry playbook!! Also the panty and stocking dvd set so i'm happy ;u;

i got everyone really great presents too, they were very happy and i'm glad 

I'm still waiting on 2 presents though, one of them is the RINKAKU single! I'm very excited, I got the limited edition and the regular edition for nae for christmas. I've never ordered a single from my favourite band before so i'm really really excited and just?? idk this means a lot to me ;u;  I'm a little upset over how long it's taken considering how much i paid extra for it ugh

oh well

I'm also planning on preordering THE UNRAVELING whenever I come across more money ;A;

This band is eating up my pretty clothes fund >:I

Nothing has really been happening in my life, anything exciting I mean.

I do have some plans for the future though, as now is the time for resolutions and such, one of them is losing a little bit of weight and actually finishing school stuff haha

I'm not sure why, but i haven't had motivation for literally anything lately and whenever i try to do something i get so drained and it's frustrating

sighs

-+-

ALSO

I've had to throw away my super crystal blue lenses ;~; I'm very upset bc they were really gorgeous lenses

i'm kind of relieved tho, because they were also uncomfortable idk

They dried out because someone knocked them over and didn't bother picking it up ugh

i'm not gonna post a lot of pictures bc they're literally all of me and that's boring

but you can follow my tumblr i guess

i never update here anymore and i'm sorry haha

i'm on tumblr like everyday tho so

follow me there, i post pics a lot and i might start making makeup tutorials again

maybe

http://shindobaddo.tumblr.com/

peace 

102612

huh

Haven't updated in a while as per usual

Anyway

How is everyone?

my blogs rating has been dropping dramatically from lack of updating haha lol

sorry about that

Life's been taking up my time

and by that i mean

i've literally done nothing but play animal crossing all day for the past week

I guess i'll recap my last 2 weeks

I spent the night at tia's last saturday (13th) and it was pretty fun!

I fell asleep on her bed at around 5 am and she woke me up and we didn't get back to sleep till around

7 am haha

We walked around town at night

here's a picture of her pooping an ice

(Actually it was a huge ass pile of ice in the middle of the parking lot wtf)

We watched tekkon kinkreet then i went home.

Nae came to school on the following tuesday with animal crossing!! She got me animal crossing i was so happy omg ;u;

she then came home with me and we played for like 4 hours haha

it was actually a really good week for me, which was surprising. I expected something bad to come out of it because

I haven't had more than one really good day in a while, right? Well i kind of confirmed my suspicions when Nae came over this Saturday to spend the night. Turns out she was moving to her mom's in high level (which is like 14 hours away by bus) so we baked a cake at like 3 am and watched samurai champloo. It was a really good day, i'm really really really sad that she left though ;~;

You know that episode of the simpsons when milhouse moves away and bart gets really sad

like a piece of him is missing? That was me all week. The one time I find a best friend irl that

is super nice and isn't a condescending jerk like everyone else and they leave... I felt so alone again after

wishing for a friend for so long. I guess I saw it coming though, and, i'm happy she's happy! I know how much she missed her mom and stuff so yeah. It's kind of bittersweet, no? She said she'd be back again before she left again though, maybe we'll go shopping like old times?

It was also picture day on Wednesday, it was kinda fun. I made plans with Tasha and Molly to go see a movie on saturday (tomorrow)
I took a bunch of pics that day with them but
i'm too lazy to upload them, so sorry about that LOL

Also today Tasha texted me a picture of Sakurina's fairy lash that her friend bought for her and was surprised i knew what brand they were haha! I'm jealous ngl ;u;

Welp

yeah

Halloween's next week, was gonna go trick or treating with nae but

now i have no plans haha

which is sad, I've looked forward to Halloween all year and now idk what i'm gonna do

it was like that with animethon too, we made plans and we only ended up going one day haha

I've learned my lesson to not expect anything, or look forward to things. It always brings disappointment.

I'd write more about my feelings and stuff but I really don't think it's worth a read, my life is boring and I myself am pretty boring.

yeah

Here's some recent pics tho

Some shirts my mom bought for me while waiting for dad at his meeting
in Edmonton
We wondered around the mall for an hour then picked up dad
then went home haha

eye makeup from a few days ago; haven't done dramatic

in a really long time, it felt nice ;u;

It's also started snowing on the rez

So, time for thick ass jackets and boots 8(

I love winter because it's so gorgeous and romantic and

nostalgic feeling, but I hate not being able to dress nice all the time LOL

Thanks for reading

peace peace ☆彡

The Halloween issue of GALVIP was released,

Autumn makeup tutorial

hey guys!!!

I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to make a makeup tutorial

I don't normally do my makeup this way so I thought, why not?

I think I'm gonna make these tutorials a monthly thing!

This theme is Autumn

so i thought

a burnt orange/black smokey eye kind of look would be perfect~

anyway, on to the tutorial!
The file is kind of small so i apologize,
also there was a lot of
stray hairs on my eyebrow (Which I never noticed
until I uploaded them wtf) so I tried to clone stamp those away
sorry about that hahaha ;A;

 

(You might have to open the image in a new tab, sorry ;A;)

yeah, hope you enjoyed it!!

Anyway, no life updates from me for a while

I haven't done anything interesting lately

I'm swamped in school work though

yeah

anyway,

thanks for reading!!

PS
Like my new background image? I made it myself ;u;

092612

WOW

HELLO THERE

two posts in one week, world must be ending, eh?

Anyway,

I haven't been very active lately on here anyway

and I probably won't for a while.

I have a really bad cold, i'm behind on school work and

my skin problems got really bad and I had to get special skin treatments

which are working to an extent i guess.

I feel really bad because of it though,

I feel like i'm gonna have gross arms and gross things on my face forever

Here's some recent pictures, from Last month i think before my face got really gross

i did my nails for once and I actually really liked them!

They only lasted a few days before they started to fall off

or get annoying hahaha

and here's some face shots I took 

I tried ~natural~ makeup and

i don't really like it

my face looks really

bloated and weird haha.

I tried to contour my eyelid into my nose (that made no sense) like
how i see people doing a lot

iT LOOKED TERRIBLE??? I definitely don't have a face for that.

___

Nae came over last weekend to touch up my roots and dye my hair

and it hasn't looked better!

She's such a magician with hair i swear

It's such a shame though, my hair is so amazing and I can't even take pictures

because of how my face looks :(

at least now when i go back to school and people say

"How do you get your hair so amazing mandy?" I can say

"I devour the souls of little boys" and be done with it 

LOL

Anyway, if you want daily updates feel free to follow my tumblr @ Groose-senpai.tumblr

and my art blog @ groosekind.tumblr

i see a theme here.........

Marcelle BB cream review

Hello~

So I got this bb cream a few weeks ago, 4 weeks i think??

and I meant to do a review earlier but I decided since i've been using it every once in awhile i could finally

do a proper review for it

Here is the packaging, which is what drew me in tbh

When I saw this in shoppers a few months earlier it retailed at $19.99

when i bought it however, it came up to $28 i was kind of angry because

there were two options, one was $30 according to the price tag (it had 10 benifits) and the one

i got which had 8

so i could have just got the other one since it was a few dollars more, right?

Anyway, enough of that LOL

It's size kind of worries me for the price, but I wear makeup only once or twice a week so I think I'll be good.

Here's my skin bare

the left is un retouched and the right is when i messed with the curves a bit so you can see it better

and here's with the bb cream

it's taken a different angle but it's the same side of my face, psoriasis, freckles and all

yeah

the coverage isn't that good, it was actually a let down for me

since this was like 3 layers of product

however,

since i've been using it more and more it makes my skin feel amazing!

It feels like i'm not even wearing anything

it makes my skin feel really soft and as
i've been using it more i've been using this

product alone as concealer and it's

covered my under eye circles fairly well,

the only let down is it doesn't cover redness (which i have a lot of)

So I give this product 3/5

I feel like the coverage could be better, but i really like the texture!

Anyway, thanks for reading!!!

Also, GALVIP has released our first issue!

Please go read it!!!

There's more information on our facebook page

 http://www.facebook.com/GALVIPMAG

our October issue will be out soon, be ready for it!!
There's a lot of really cool features :-)

peace peace

i Fairy Super Crystal review + Eye love Matsuge 006 Review

ah

Sorry for the lack of posts lately

Animethon last week was great!

I meant to make a post about it but I got kind of lazy haha

Blogger is a piece of poop when it comes to editing so

Anyway

Our lenses for our cosplays came a week late, but that's ok!

They're gorgeous lenses anyway

I can't remember the name of the lenses Nae got, but they're GEO and 14.0 blue ones

She said they're super comfortable so

yeah

I'll update with the name later whenever she comes by again in case any one is curious~

here's a picture of her wearing them

+ I did her makeup :-)

Anyway, on to the review!

I've been meaning to get these lenses for a really long time,

I wanted them in green originally but since we were planning on cosplaying i got them in Blue to match her eyes

The website (Which idk if i'll be ordering from again soon, i'm p sure they sent me the wrong bottles or they put the wrong information on the site since they did not match the info on the viles) On top of that, i ordered express shipping and they still came in in the same amount of time it would have took if i didn't pay extra

though that was the shipping company's fault not the website u__u;;

The website info says

Diameter: 15.0mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

and the viles say

dia 14.5 / 8.6 bc / water content was not stated

As you can see the enlargement is PERFECT

:-DDD

The colour is really great too, I was expecting them to be super dark on my eyes but clearly that isn't the case with these ;u;

the empty space in the middle isn't too small which is a plus for me personally because I don't have to worry about lens drift in photos too much LOL

I'm really happy with these lenses akljfhalksdf they're so pretty even though i look weird with blue eyes??

they look ok

I'm happy with them ;u;

I'm a little disappointed in how uncomfortable they were when i tried them on

though it was probably because I got impatient with waiting for them to soak

They're comfortable, it's just I can feel the edges more with these than my other ones

Yeah!!

I'll definitely be purchasing these again in the future in different colours~

Eye love matsuge 006 rabbit eye review

More info on this brand here ->  http://ciramisu.blogspot.ca/2011/07/eye-love-matsuge.html  covered beautifully by ciramisu!

These eyelashes were a lot shorter than i imagined, but the size is perfect for natural looks for when i start school again ;u;

The lashes look very delicate in the package so be extra careful removing them from the package!

Here's how they look on me (ignore the bad makeup, i did this in like 10 minutes haha)

They also look really 

I'll repurchase these again in the future! Mainly because my brother's dog got into one that was nae's pair and she ate them...

SO I cut the remaining in the package in half and gave it to nae

so we both have 2 pairs ;u;

Thanks for reading!!

Also I meant to post this last week; but I've been so lazy lately ahh
sorry about that

Here's a semi recent photo of my eyemake

Announcing the First Gaijin Gyaru Magazine!

copy and pasted from Chaudie's blogpost!

To my fellow Gyaru... 

 Ever since the Gyaru style has floated into our lives,

 we often come across many barriers in order to perfect our look. 

 Being foreign, has always been our downfall in gaining the respect, admiration, and resources, we deserve

. To those of you who are tired of just looking at pictures... 

 To the countless Gals that sit there in ridicule, with Gyaru Secrets at your back, and pictographs at your front... 

 To those of you that want something made just for us... 

 We hear you. Today I am proud to officially announce the first ever Gaijin Gyaru Magazine, GAL VIP. Because every Gyaru is Important.


____________

I've posted the new flyer to accommodate all of our models!

Here is more information on what GALVIP is on Chaudie's blog
