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

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.

SO I had to post it again
I'm sorry omg

Ah

What a weird weekend

Hey guys

How was your weekend?

Happy fourth of July for my US readers and

Happy (Late) Canada day for my fellow Canadians 

As you all know I went to my first (Kind of) Pow wow of the season

Let me start day by day haha

Also, I didn't take as much pictures as I intended to
I was so shy and aksjlfhlfs sorry about that ;~;

DAY 1
I spent the night in the tent trailer with my cousin Alyssa
William and Tyrone kept us up till 4 am
even though they knew I hadn't slept the previous night and was exhausted ;__;
Alyssa woke me up at 8 to walk back to the house
I napped for a bit
Then got ready
And went on my merry way back haha
Grand Entry was gr8
My auntie kept bugging me about this kid (His name is Nike)
that likes me it was so embarrassing
what's worse is that they bugged me about him ALL WEEKEND

He's cute tho
just not my type haha;;;;

William Enjoying a delicious Indian taco
And Tyrone idk what the hell he was doing lmao

DAY 2

I can't really remember this day
Nothing important happened

My friend Jordee was there!
It was quite a surprise

seeing as there was other pow wows to go to
that weekend I didn't think she'd come to
Alexander of all places haha
I nearly had a heat stroke this day too
u__u it sucked

I also tried to get some pictures of my other cousin Nolan dancing

They all came out really blurry

Here's one

Oh and I asked for a picture later

he said "TAG ME ON FACEBOOK OK"

haha

Big noses run in my family LOL

DAY 3

CANADA DAY

YEAH

Also the last day

It was raining all  morning
we managed to sleep till 1 pm despite all the noise LOL

The party so to speak was moved to the hall
We walked back in the mud

and because i wasn't smart enough to pack pants

(It was super hot all weekend i didn't think it'd rain!!)
I had to walk back with a blanket in the rain

we were all muddy by the time we got back home omfg

It cleared up towards supper break and they moved it back to the grounds

We spent the time scoping out this really hot chicken dancer omg

He was so perfect omgomgomg
His outfit was purple and green
I really wanted a picture of him but i was so shy  oh my god

Here's a photo I took of myself that day walking back to the grounds


Couldn't do gal makeup this weekend
because I accidentally left all of my eyelashes at home ;__;
PLUS I was sleeping in a tent I don't think it'd be wise to have
ALL of my shit there haha
I look so silly without circle lenses in now it's weird

Later on that night
I jokingly said to my auntie "Where's Nike I want to hug him before I leave"
SO SHE KEPT LIKE

PESTERING HIM ALL NIGHT TO GET HIM TO SEE ME

I felt so bad omg he probably hates me now LOL

Anyway uh yeah

that was my weekend

now to wait for this weekend oh my gosh

it's going to be even hotter and

i'm gonna be walking ALL DAY and

ugh

so
How are you guys going to spend your Summer?

062112

Hey guys :-DD
Happy first day of Summer ;u;

It is currently 2:53 am as i type this and I can't sleep LOL
I've been stressing all day over stupid stuff but
i feel better now haha

Anyways, let's get this over with~~
I GOT MY CAMERA WORKING AGAIN

WHICH IS GR8

I woke up to my parents coming home from a garage sale saying
MANDY GET UP WE GOT YOU A NEW CAMERA

This baby was only $30 at a garage sale ;u;
I'm so happy omg
It'll be really great to photograph people with at this year's pow wow I think haha
Too bad i'm not dancing tho u_u;;

Another gr8 thing; I got my wig for a-thon!!!
the shipping took forever because of customs
but it was worth it

No pictures of me wearing it just yet;
I need to style it first
and thin it out because it's super thick LOL

This past weekend/week my parents went to Edmonton for a week
because my Dad had a meeting
I got to stay for a day and I got to go shopping with my mom
the day I went back haha


I got an oversized grey sweater and blue collared dress from f21
and a cute floral skirt~

we also went to Sally's WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED IN EDMONTON??
IDK WHY I got brown eyelashes
I saw the ZIPPER ones from eyemazing and
idk I thought they'd look good
They don't u__u idk how to natural makeup haha
I also got this cute makeup palette today at Ermineskin mall~
It was only $5 !
It was too cute to resist hahaha
plus the "MAGIC EYESHADOW" bit killed me LOL

___

On a more serious note; I start my workout plan tomorrow or later on today I guess
I just
I've put this off so long I feel bad
I want to look good for gal and cosplay
Like I'm getting really bad lately so hahaha
I need to get on track u_u
This is also another reason why I haven't posted any outfit posts
lately
I've been so lacking in confidence and I have poor body image
I don't want to end up in gal secrets having random ass people calling me

chubby  like I CAN SEE I HAVE EYES LOL

yeah

Here's a quick make shot I guess from the other day

I wanted to try more ~lighter~ make up than usual
So I used half lashes instead of full ones on the bottom
shorter top lashes, fuller brows, nude lip

I like it but I don't idk haha

Anyway

LETS TRY THIS AGAIN

ok

I had to start this post 3 times now

because blogger is really really stupid

:T

I apologize if this post keeps being thrown up into your dashboard

I really

Don't know how to fix that from happening

You think with a website this big they'd have come up with a way to prevent that from happening.
I apologize if this post is really messy
this website pretty much messed this whole post up so
yeah sorry

Welp.

Sigh

I promise there will be more interesting posts soon

I just have to wait for School to end and then I can hang out with friends some more uvu

Anyway some people were interested in what I do to keep my face
clean
And glowy

The products i use are
the uk brand SIMPLE; I use the moisturzing facial cleanser
Olay refreshing toner

baby lotion lol

Almay smooth perfecting primer
(Idk if i can recommend this product because it smells like ASS; but it works??)
and Garnier BB cream in Dark (~for my crazy makeup days)


The BB cream for the most part is really good ;u;
It's really improved my skin over all
here are some comparison photos

sorry about the lighting
i'm not really that greenish yellow colour irl LOL

it doesn't really cover that much, but it covers enough

and it got rid of my redness which is great ;u;

Ignore my messy brows; I'm trying to grow them out ;A;

                                                       Idk how that's doing though haha

and here's something i was going to do for a tutorial

but because i was really sick last week i never got around to it

sorry about that ;~;

Here is some recent eye make I have done though

I've used NYX lashes in Bondage on the left
And both are using Diamond Lash princess eye on the bottom
The right is using some korean brand of eyelashes
I picked up at the dollar store;
I wasn't sure about them but i'm in love with them now LOL
They look like dupes of angel eye which i love ;u;


here is my face for good measure
because
a blogpost isn't right without pictures

       

i liked my makeup that day
idk


Our Vegas trip has been moved to July 15
I'm super excited ;u;
I hate how hot it is and I really REALLY hate the desert but
it's Vegas~
sigh


also there was a live streaming of DIR EN GREY's documentary
for their age of quodis tour '11 and '12
I really wanted to watch it but
why would you pay to watch something online idgi,,,


I'll have to wait until I have enough money to buy the dvd itself
which is like $80
I love you guys but you're going to put your fans in debt LOL


anyway

042912 / birthday post!

HEY GUYS

I know I said I'd make a vlog but my video camera stopped working while i was filming the introduction u__u

I have really bad luck with vidya cameras for some reason haha

Anyway

On Friday I celebrated my 16th birthday!

Thursday night nae and tia came over and we played games all night

then watched hell boy II (Guilty Pleasure movie ehehehe)

We went to West Edmonton Mall the next day and we got a room at fantasy land hotel

I didn't really shop that much

despite having a lot of money, I kept getting paranoid I'd spend all of it ;~;

my parents apparently hid away extra just in case

I wish I knew! I wanted to get so many cute clothes ;A;

Anyway

Here's what I bought!

Nae got me this really cute hello kitty necklace and tia got me a rilakkuma wallet ;u; on the back of it is a giant flan pyramid with korilakkuma (〜￣▽￣)〜

I got benefit bronzer powder and a foundation sample (Idk if I can use it tho, it hasn't given me any problems on my hand so I'll see?? I can't wear liquid foundation because it makes my face burn haha) Badgal lash mascara and sephora gave me this little set of chapstick for my birthday ;u;
Also pictured; A cute white cardigan and lace trimmed shorts I got from Sirens and forever21 uvu

I wanted to get the naked palette finally but I was worried i wouldn't have enough money for anything else (which i was wrong as I had over $60 left by the end of the night smh)

we also went to galaxy land

unfortunately we only had an hour to go on the rides because we didn't know it closed at 9 u__u

it was still fun though!

After that really long night mackenzie molly and kristen came over for a movie night!

I did their nails and we just talked

it was really fun

here are some photos

idk she looked funny sitting in my makeup corner so i took a pic lol

Also yes

I put a mustache on Tsubasa's face haha

I think she looks even prettier now, don't you think???

Also here's an old photo of a chain belt i made haha

It has sugar skulls on it!
(‘◇’)
Anyway
thanks for reading

I'm sorry if this was kind of boring lol

I leave you with this!
