Stranded but somewhat active~

I feel bad for not updating as often and not having much to say but nothing interesting is really going on here. I`m stranded in a hole in the forest preserve. 

I`m trying to stay away from the internet and television as much as possible and work on all sorts of mini projects. I`m making progress but my luck is kind of bad right now.   Expect to see more about the following:

Yarn wig

This is number one on my list. I`ve been wanting one so bad!!! It`s really time consuming and as soon as I really got into making one the ball of yarn I want to use disappeared.  It was literally laying in the middle of the floor for days and one day poof.  *glares at the cat* I`ve been looking for it with no luck, so I`m using strands I already took out of it and they`re almost gone. 

New nail set

I need a summer set so I started one, not looking to good right now but I can save it.  I wish I could make several but my charmies are running out. Anyone know where to buy more at a good price?

Every Day Make Up Search

Customizing- Something I`m not to good at but I`m not giving up.

Hauls- I`m extremely broke but I  ♥ Ebay so expect to see one soon.

On a side note, I wish I could go shopping 

But I ain`t got no money honeys so here`s a brief wish list instead:

 ♔ Sunhat

 ♔ garters

♔ more wigs

 ♔ deco material

 ♔ finger-less gloves

 ♔ Boots and wedges

  ♔ Collection of unique leggings

 ♔ accessories- lots of shiny things 

  ♔ black and colorful club wear (maybe)

  ♔ Black circle lenses and more colored lenses

  ♔  Flashy belt collection (including waist ones)

 ♔ Graphic tees (some long enough to pass as dresses)

(lolz looks like a weird funnel above)

                  Well that`s it for now...Take Care 

My Gal Journey so far....

Not really an update but it`s been almost a year now (well in September) since I started pursuing Gal. I know I still have a long way to go but I decided to lay out my progress so far. I know another blogger made a calender for other Gals to track their journeys but since I don`t have the right programs right now I just made my own.  (Its not very good...)

*click to zoom*

Yeah there were times when I got lazy and took some steps back instead of forward but I do see A LOT of change.I`ve been thinking about joining a few online Gal comms and this was just to show my progress and maybe get some advice. PLEASE LAWD DON`T LET ME REGRET THIS!!!  I know the western Gal community is a bit messed up but I`ve never welcomed drama into my life and I`m not going to start.

Manba Makeup attempt 1...or maybe just a step up in banba....

Before I get into my actual ATTEMPT, I just want the world to know this is in NO way, shape or form a tutorial. I`m new to makeup in general and have been wearing it for almost a year now. I DO NOT know how to use eye shadow, this is seriously my FIRST time using any color on my eyes. This is my FIRST manba attempt and and if it ends up on G_S because some mean-spirited person stumbled upon my blog then so be it.  I just wanted to document each phase of the process for myself so I can improve and get advice. I intended to go for manba but looking at the actual outcome I think it`s still more banba...

Last Halloween I decided to play around with the poorly pigmented costume makeup after the kiddies were done getting ready. It`s not Manba, it`s not even banba, it has nothing to do with trying to be Gyaru but I feel like it was the first time I was inspired to take some element of older Gal style and run with it.

Yes it was bad, I basically smeared the white cream over my face where I though it should go but with no real technique. There wasn`t any eyeliner (I recall trying to use the black stick that came with the stuff, before or after I do not know), there was no foundation, no bronzer, no mascara. Just a messed up costume wig, white cream and a flower. At the time I thought I accomplished something but now I know it was bad. 

Now here`s an actual TRY. I`m not trying to intentionally deeply disturb anyone with my un-made  up face (no foundation or anything). but here it is.

WARNING: Click to zoom at your own discretion...

Why do I did I do this? Because when I`m on other Gal`s blogs it`s like looking at a magazine and  feeling hopeless because I`ll never achieve that look. I think it`s important to remember everyone`s imperfect but there are ways to work with imperfections and it`s a process for everyone. For me I have acne issues and there is some scarring but I`ve been doing all I can for my skin.  Under the scarf my hair is natural.

MOISTURIZE!!!!! PLEASE ALWAYS MOISTURIZE BEFORE FOUNDATION!!!!!

Eye makeup start...Experimenting with the shape of the white using a Maybelline concealer stick:

Experimenting with eyeshadow...it`s so hard choosing colors so I just went with blue, I wanted to add more colors or some black but it got pretty late and I didn`t want to mess up.

Eyeliner (didn`t really know what to do with it)....

Nose stripe, (I don`t know how to contour yet so I used a little powder), lashes, etc.... No bottom lashes...I was going to use the remnants of the ones I messed up but I`ve never used bottom lashes before. I was going to take a few pictures and then try it out but I got carried away... I tried to adjust my wig differently to make the makeup more visible...

I didn`t like it.  I also noticed my lenses were missing sooo....

Then I noticed my lashes and the blue makeup were perfect together even though I didn`t do it intentionally...But something still felt missing...(prepare for the bad camwhoring)

I really wasn`t dressed up. I stayed in all day and just threw something on because I felt like trying to do something new with my makeup. As you can see I hated my shirt and switched it. Also I think I have a really weird face, I have BIG eyes and my lids are weird. I find it really hard to be photogenic. Most of the time I look like a deer stuck in headlights without even trying. So I try to put up as much as I can to ensure that I took at least one nice picture out of the bunch.


I also took some pictures for my dad since Father`s Day is coming up.

A picture of me, my father and his gf  last year before I even knew what Gyaru really was...I just noticed I don`t really have many pictures of us...

  We`re on the same mental level but emotionally we`re not very close, at least not to me. He`s NEVER seen me wear makeup like this soooo.... Anyway he gave me this doll for Christmas when I was really little. It`s one of the few things he`s given me that I can hold onto forever. I wonder if he`ll even remember it when he sees the pictures.

On the inside of the doll`s chest:

Well that was my update, I tried to make it interesting and I hope I did an ok job.
