[FASHION] Etre Gyaru en 2016 ?

Coco Chanel

Hi Gals,

Comment allez-vous ?

Je passe une semaine de vacances parfaite, avec un beau soleil et des projets plein la tête pour ma future maison. J'ai un bon programme pour cette semaine. Pas tellement reposante la semaine. 

Tous les soirs, même durant les vacances, mon petit rituel c'est de suivre les news concernant la mode gyaru. Et pour tout vous avouez les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes. C'est difficile, aujourd'hui, de trouver des inspirations. Le style a un lien direct avec les tendances de Shibuya... Et les tendances sont minimalistes, simple, sans fioritures. On est loin des styles excentrique, rebelle et sexy des années 2000.

Ce changement a signé la fin de certains magazines comme Egg, Edge, Ageha., Happie nuts... (Ageha & Happie nuts qui sont à nouveau ré-édités) Depuis peu ce sont les marques comme Garula, Ghost of Harlem & dernièrement, CocoLulu qui ferment les boutiques. C'est la dure loi de Shibuya ; soit tu t'adaptes aux nouvelles tendances, soit tu finis sur la touche. [Edit : Oh Apparemment Ghost of Harlem aurait survécu à la fermeture -Click-]

Ce soir un tweet d'@EmixLea a attiré mon attention (N'oubliez pas de les suivre ♥) :

Glavil this is the second big change you make but definitely not the right direction.Yay 4 being like everyone else pic.twitter.com/v77KEZaHWF

Non vous ne rêvez pas, Glavil, une marque à l'esprit Rokku, change radicalement de style. Jadis, je me rappelle encore de l'époque où Glavil c'était TuTuHa... - Instant Mémé-
Je suis nostalgique de cette époque, cette fameuse époque où je me serais ruinée pour les marques du Shibuya 109. Elle avait chacune une âme, un style propre. Aujourd'hui ce n'est plus tellement le cas...

Glavil à la base, c'est ça !!

A l'étranger, c'est le magazine Gal Vip qui tire sa révérence... Un autre coup dur pour la communauté. C'était un magazine qui a animé & qui a créé la tendance chez les Gaijin Gyaru.

Toutefois les Gaijin Gyaru je les vois comme des résistants. Toujours là, par amour et passion pour cette mode si peu connue dans le monde. Ils sont là & toujours aussi fort pour promouvoir & faire honneur au style gyaru.

Au final, pour vous, pour moi, où est-ce qu'on va pouvoir dénicher nos inspirations ? Où est-ce qu'on va trouver des vêtements similaires aux boutiques si injustement fermées ? Ce sera les sujets de mes futurs articles. Je pense faire une ou deux parties pour être plus que ce soit plus clair. J'espère que ces futurs articles vous plairont, n'hésitez pas à me suivre sur ma page facebook pour ne pas les rater.

Que pensez-vous de la mode gyaru aujourd'hui ? Des tendances actuelles de Shibuya ?

Kisses & Hugs,

[FASHION] 小悪魔 Ageha September 2015

💖小悪魔 Ageha of September 💖 #ageha #小悪魔Ageha #book #september #9月 #gyaru #magazine #sakurina #gorgeous #new #fashion

Dear Gals,

How are you ? I'm so so so happy, I received my 小悪魔 Ageha of september. The cover with Sakurina is just... Absolutely gorgeous. The question is... Is it the contents is as interesting as the cover ?

小悪魔 Ageha of september offer many good themes like outfits, a lot of hairdo tutorial, makeup tutorial.

I really adore the part when the models do a makeup with a specific brand like : Jilll Stuart, Mac, Anna Sui, Rimmel, Addiction...Don't worry, you don't need to spend a lot to have a good makeup.



The pictures are very pretty and good illustrated. It's a pleasure to read it. Some of brands are very present in this magazine like DaTura, Emiria Wiz, Duras, Resexxy and Ghost of Harlem.

The big fail of the magazine is a typing error : Ghorst of Harlem. So, yes, it's funny. It looks like to a burp's sound.

In generale, it's one of my favourite issue ; Surely thanks to the good fall collection. That gives me the desire to buy new clothes. *haha*

If you want to buy this magazine you can click on the Ageha picture below. I add another magazines who are interesting for you like Jelly, Popteen & Happie Nuts. Take care of you ~

[LIFESTYLE] Back to School - Kogal Version

Dear Gals,

Hope you had good holidays and great memories. This is soon the start of the school year. That was a period that I loved : I had new stuff, I made shopping... To be on the top for a good start.

When I think school, I think to Kogal !! I see a lot of "Back to school" articles & videos but no one about gyaru.

I'll show you the "starter kit" of a Kogal, leeeet's go ~

☆ Personalize your uniform

The School seem better when you add a Kirakira [キラキラ] and Kawaii [ かわいい] touch. Show that you are unique. Your loose socks and you are inseparable : Your ankles are nice and warm. Don't forget the glue to keep your socks in place. [You can buy loose socks Here, Here or Here & socks glues here]

Accessories are the key of your outfit. If you can't touch to your outfit [Except your socks & shorten your skirt], the best way to have the best style is to accessorize.

I selected to you some great accessories:

[UP] DaTura - Mars - Princess Apparel - Kokopie [DOWN] Cocolulu - Hushush - Lchance - Claire's

☆ Makeup

The basics of a Kogal Makeup is a tanned skin, pink lips and heavy eyes makeup . Thank you summer, thanks to you we've a pretty suntan. If you've got a forever pale face [... Like me...], don't take the risk to have a skin cancer to abuse of tanning booth. Stay like you're. It's not rare to see a kogal with a light skin.

I picked some pictures of Kogal's makeup :

☆ Hairstyle

A kogal have principally a hair color between blonde and light brown. Have fun with your hairstyle : Ponytail, braids, backcombing... The most populare hairdo is long hair with big curls. 

If you don't have time, You can just smooth your hair and make two ponytails. [Fast, Simple & Effective]

Add a touch of fun like hair chalk or cute hair accessories :

[UP] Vivelle Dop - L'oréal - Offbrand [DOWN] Usamimi OffBrand - Ebay - Princess Apparel

☆ Customize your phone

The last step to complete your look, it's a phone with your personnal touch. You've two solutions : 

You can buy a cute phone case & charms. We have the chance today to found a large choice for all taste.

I make a little selection of my favourite phone cases :

[UP] Aliexpress, Galeo [DOWN] Aliexpress, Les bijoux de Sharuru, Etsy

The second solution it's DIY. Buy a transparent phone case and glue strass, charms, purikura... All what your want and your phone case'll be very cute & personnal. [Nice DIY on Youtube here, here & here]

Enjoy your school year & mostly don't forget to have fun. Stay like you are, gyaru or not. Hope you like my article, if you want another articles like this, let me a comment. Take care of you.

Kisses & Hugs,

[FASHION] Flash Tattoos Seal

Dear my lovelies Girls,

How are you today ? That's a long time, I wanted to write an article about Flash tattoo seal. It's the last big trend in Japan [& in the world] since the beginning of the year. You already know the love of gals for flash tattoo. Gold or Silver, the Flash tattoo seal is a mix between a tattoo & a jewellery. That's a pretty accessory who is embellished with a tanned skin.

A lot of brands of Shibuya sell these flash tattoo seal like Egoist, Backs, Sly. Manya, a ex model of egg, do a big promotion of these tattoo with her brand Semny. With her gyaru friends, Yun or Sega, these tattoos are a indispensable during their travels.

I found tattoo in my supermarket for only 2 euros. You don't need to command to Japan. You can find these tattoos everywhere [And very cheap], like Claire's, Accessorize [In France] or on Ebay...

The durability of your tattoo depend of where you place it. If you place it on your hand, It's used very fast. Personally, I like to put my tattoo on my wrist. [I kept it 5 - 6 days]

🌸 Enjoy Spring 🌸 #spring #enjoy #tattoo #gold #silver #like #fav #new #flower #flowerpower #instadaily #boheme

[EVENT] Happie nuts' return

Hi Gals,

How are you my lovelies ? If you follow me on my Facebook page, you can see the big news ! Nope, it's not a joke : There is a new reissue of Happie Nuts ! I see this wonderful news thanks to the tweet of Sayoko Ozaki.

【nuts復刊の件】 すいません、発表するのまだ先かと思ってたので私もビックリしてます。笑 pic.twitter.com/qBlpxAiqAx

— 尾崎紗代子（深夜活発） (@osayo_osayo) 30 Juin 2015

It'll be the fierce Koda Kumi on the cover.I think it's a very good choice to choose a strong personality for a reissue. Koda Kumi is glamorous, sexy : The perfect definition for Happie Nuts.

This magazine wants to be more adult than the older issues. Do they keep the same style ; a Onee-gyaru magazine ? That is a good question. The trend on Shibuya isn't still ready for a new big wave of gyaru.  I hope to see my favourite models Sayoko Ozaki, Takeda Shizuka in her better shapes...

The magasine will be available for this 17 July. I can't wait to have the first reissue in my hands. And you ?

Will you buy it ?

Kisses & Hugs,

[TAG] 6 minutes gyaru makeup challenge ~

Hi Gals,

How are you ?? Summer is coming ! I can't wait to receive my last copy of Gals Vip Spring Issue. I would like to do a review on my Youtube Channel to present Gal Vip to all my followers. [You can always buy the Spring copy on their webshop]

Yesterday, I published on my channel a Tag created by Holly : The Gyaru makeup challenge in 6 minutes.

It's really intense. You must forget all you do normally when you did your makeup. I used my fingers, I didn't wait the time of dry of the false lashes glue. It's the makeup of the distress. *haha* When you know that I do my makeup in average in 45 minutes... 

If you do this tag you must know that you do only the eye makeup & contouring. If you do the foundation you can add 2 or 3 minutes. My foundation dropped me during this video... 35° during the recording, I didn't know how I did to survive *haha*. Whatever, I accept my weird makeup. [or not]

Have a good day my lovelies. See you next week, Take care of you.

Kisses & Hugs,

[REVIEW] LockShop Wig - Mermaid Milk Tea

Dear Gals,

How are you my lovelies ? You can see on my instagram & my blog ; i'm in love of my new blond wig from lockshop. [I'm so glad to buy it thanks to my love, Ly]. I wanted to do a little review. Don't hesitate to let a comment ~
◥ ABOUT THE WIG

Our beautiful Mermaid style has long, soft waves that give a glamorous look, but can easily be worn in a day to day way too! They are a bit higher maintenance than our other wigs, due to the length and style, and they definitely need to be brushed through, but it's definitely a style that makes any mermaid green with envy! - Lockshop

The wig is exactly the same than the description by Lockshop. The only problem is the fringe. Itself, the fringe is too long. I cut it a straight fringe. I'm glad about the result. I was very afraid to fail the hairdo.

◥ FIBERS

Our regular wigs can be styled up to 200°C or 390°F. However, to be safe, we advise to style our wigs no higher than 150°C or 300°F. Wigs, just like real hair, can be damaged by heat styling so please do it carefully and use high quality tools. - Lockshop

The fiber is synthetic but very natural look. You can stylized your wig with a straightener or a curl iron. Beware of the temperature to preserve your wig. The waves are perfect, I didn't use an curl iron.
[Tips - I use a Boar bristle hairbrushes]

◥ COLORS

The color is not exactly the same. On the picture, the color is darker ; I received it more lighter. It's not a problem to match with my light skin but can be it weird if you wanted more an ash blond.

◥ OVERALL

The lockshop wigs are very good qualities & naturals. The finishings is the good point of this wig. The sewings are nice with fibers backcombed to don't have the demarcation. The net hair is adapted for my [Big] head & the clips keep well the wig on your head.

The wig is voluminous, heavy, with a good fiber. I recommend this wig for a first buy.

Do you have tested the lockshop wigs ? What do you thing about ? Have a good week end, See you next week ~

Kisses & Hugs,

[LIFESTYLE] Gyaru Problems #1

Dear Gals,

How are You ? Hope you are fine. Again a bad day, no luminosity, I've the impression to live in a cave. The sun has disappeared since a long time, that's make me feel sad. [Yes, you often read that the weather has a big influence on me]
I adore the gyaru style but like all styles there are "problems". [This article is 100 % written with humor]

◥ Gyaru have never money

Do you note that we always want the most expensive clothes ? Like the last ma*rs dress, or all the d.i.a. set...  Then, you can add makeup, because a gyaru without makeup is just... a sunfish

Best "No makeup" moment : if you wear sunglass or you hide behind your hand.

And it's not finish, you can add a good phone to take good selfie, a good camera for good selfie, accessories to match with your last clothes. You have two solutions ; to marry to a rich men or to sell an organ. I offer my fat for a good price. 

My wife got robbed her credit card. I didn't lodge a complaint. The thief spends less than her. 

◥ Japanese Sizes

Why Japanese sizes exist ? Just to remind you "You're fat, please loose a bones." I'm a piece of furniture next to a cute japanese gyaru.  A dress becomes a tunic, a cute skirt becomes a very very very very short skirt.[Rules 1 : Always to have a clean panties].

A lot of japanese bottoms clothes just cover 10% of your butt. [A breeze and you're sick]
It's to cut both ways : You're motivated to loose weight or you feel depressive and try to make a liposuction with a straw.

◥ The end of the day of a gyaru

You passed all a day to try to be perfect : Retouch your makeup, verify your hairstyle... The moment where you're at home, you become another person. You scream your liberty with a sweet tune... "Leeeet it go !!". You throw your clip extensions who killed your scalp. You remove your circles lens [No, if I crying it's not for you, it's just because of these fu**ing circles lens who sting my eyes !!].
You take a long moment to remove all accessories on you. Now you lost 10 kilos of hair/false lashes & 3 kilos of makeup. 

◥ False nails

Now it's more easy for scratching your nose.

Your dream is to wear false nails like a Black Diamond. It's required to have a lot of patience. All simple activities of your lives become a nightmare. Here is the list  [Not exhaustive] :

- Write with a pen,

- Tap on your keyboard,

- Put your jeans with button,

- Put your circle lens [& remove...]

- Thread your tights without ladder it,

- To go to toilet less than 10 minutes,

- Get out your credit card.

- Do a shampoo ...

You've got gorgeous false nails but you look like to a penguin. Exept if you've an assistant,  you need to pass my second-degree black belt in false nails.

What do you think about these gyaru problems ? *haha* What's your problems ? I already think about the second part, see you next week. Have a good sunday ~

Kisses & Hugs,
