NEO GAL, the new gyaru

Hi, I'm back!!!

Today's post is gonna be about "NEO GAL"!

Maybe some of you have heard about it (or not). The same as my title today, NEO GAL is the new gyaru and is really popular in Japan right now.

All of us must be familiar with these gyaru models and their typical gyaru style :

• big dolly eyes
• dramatic lashes
• bottom/lower lashes is a MUST
• pale lips
• dramatic nails
• big circle lens
• big puffy (mostly blonde) hair

But the new gyaru, which is NEO GAL is different!!!!!

Forget all those dramatic lashes, big puffy hair and the complicated nails! NEO GAL's style is simple and you can wear it daily without getting looks from other people. Most people said that NEO GAL is similar to ulzzang from Korea, but actually it's not. Here's an example of NEO GAL :













From the pictures above we can see the difference between the old gyaru and NEO GAL, which are..

• NEO GAL's makeup (especially eye makeup) is not as dramatic as the old gyaru. They sometimes still use false lashes but not as extreme as it was before.
• We can consentrate on our lip makeup and put on some bold colors. The old gyaru style has pink lips because they already got a heavy eye makeup.
• Their fashion style is simpler and comfy, rather than the old gyaru style's.
• They tend to accessorize more.
• Hair-do is also easier to follow, cuter, and simple.

However, like I've said before, most people mistook NEO GAL as ulzzang or even worse, said that NEO GAL = ULZZANG!


Lemme get this straight,
NEO GAL isn't ulzzang. If you see it carefully you can see the difference. For example, Ulzzang tend to focus their makeup on the eyeliner shapes when NEO GAL focuses on the lipcolor (sometimes shadow or coloured eyeliner). And for me personally, Ulzzang fashion is too monotonous. But NEO GAL is different, fun, and weird LOL.



Actually, I've been searching for this style FOREVER! Although I love gyaru, I find their fashion and makeup style really weird to follow in my country and I always get weird looks from people. But not with NEO GAL!


What's your opinion? Do you like NEO GAL? Or do you prefer the old gyaru style? Or maybe neither/both?

I'll talk to you soon, k? > <

new interest!

Not long ago, one of my subscription gone trough a makeover! She went from gyaru style to doll style!

Doll style isn't dolly style, it's somehow different. Dolly style is similar to lolita (classic, sweet, etc), you wear cute fluffy dresses with laces and ribbons (reference: hime gyarus) or pastel coloured blouse with skirts, and rocking the doe eyed yet still natural (or dramatic, your choice) makeup. You try to look like a doll-like human, or you just want to look cute; sweet and innocent~

But for 'doll' style.. You try to look like a human-like doll. It's kind of hard to explain but it's like you're trying to become a doll or something, if that makes sense? Fair skin, BIG doll eyes, small nose, rosy cheeks, small mouth, who wouldn't want that! But if you're exaggerating these features, such as overly big eyes which makes people creeped out, blank eyes to the camera... CONGRATULATIONS! You just made yourself a self-doll!

Back to our topic,

So, I was curious about her change; she stated that she's more into BJDs than gyarus; then I did some research. And I saw these...!!

she looks like ROLA, ne?

 

Aren't they cute?? > <

It's not only lolita style! They akso have the gothic style!

 

(pssst! the last one is a guy!)

 See? Aren't they looks so cute/cool, sweet/goth?

While I was browsing through the images, I remember one anime which have relation to these BJDs!

Its....

ROZEN MAIDEN!!!

 

(I'm such a Suigintou fan LOL)

And now, I've found myself drawn into these BJDs also!!! I also noticed their cute gradient lips, maybe the famous gradient lips are inspired by them > < !

I'm planning to do my makeup like they all do, but I want to toned it down a bit so it would looks natural and suitable for daily basis. Wish me luck? LOL

January 2014 Wanted List

As you can see in the title, this is my wanted list in January 2014! Most of them are things that I can't buy, either it's too expensive; hard to find; or my mom won't let me buy it (most online stores receive payment via mastercard/visa and I have none of them TT^TT). And I hope I can get at least one of these items before CNY (LOL).

AND THIS IS IT!

Jill Sander's lunch bag (dupe : ZARA Messenger Bag)

I am dying to have this simple yet cool clutch in my hands! And I think I could do some personal touch with the clutch. It's so simple so that I can mix and match it with many outfits!

                                                                                                                 

      

Transparent Clutch

The same as the lunch bag, I'm dying to have these babies too! Either it's the perspex clutch (left) or the normal/usual transparent clutch (dunno what the name is XD). But to use transparent bags in my country is really risky. So it's better to have another pouch inside the bag.

                                                                                                                 

    

Loose Cardigans

I've always been in love with loose cardigans. Maybe cox I'm addicted with jfashion and kfashion which always seen wearing these kind of cardigans. And also cox they're really comfy and warm. The style depends on your taste and I prefer the cardigans end below my tights, dunno why tho XD

                                                                                                                  

 

 Transparent Laced Wedges

I've been hunting for these wedges for ages!!! I found it on Rakuten Global, but it's too expensive and I'm not quite sure about the sizes. I've contacted a custom shoes shop, wish I could have it > <. (PS: Many Japanese idols/models wear this --ex: KotaKoti)

                                                                                                                  

 

V Line Onepiece

Eversince I saw a beauty blogger wearing this kind of onepiece, I've been searching here and there of it. And guess what? I found it on Rakuten Global, again. But my mom thinks it's too risky, so that I can't buy this TT^TT Ah, I wonder when I'll get my own credit card?

                                                                                                                  

 

Flower Studded Headband

I found out about this headband few weeks ago in YT. And I thought that it's so cute and have the goth-loli feel which I kinda like  hahahas,

                                                                                                                  

5 Beauty Basic Things I Can't Live Without!

 Hey yooo~~ > <
I know, I know... It's been a while now. I've been busy with school and stuff (eat, sleep, shopping LOL) and I feel kinda bad about it. So today I'm gonna talk about few things that I can't live without, obviously beauty related laah (ﾉ≧3≦)ﾉ but only the main/basic ones. The real list is waay too long for this night typing time (yep, I type this in the middle of the night LOL).

LET'S GET STARTED, ne?

1. Double Eyelid Tapes  \(//∇//)\

 Since I'm considered as monolid, I use tapes EVERY SINGLE DAY in my life! (except for some other time when I forgot to bring my tapes LOLs). I usually use the normal tapes, but since recently I use my all-trusted double sided tapes. It may be quite difficult and annoying to use but the effect's quite nice, depends on how you use and positioned the tapes. There are few types of double eyelid tapes but I'll get into that another time (too lazy ehh > <)

2.  Lip Balms


I tend to have dry lips so I always bring lip balms everywhere hahahas. I have plenty of them and... I lost them many times also ( p′︵‵。). It's quite annoying when you have dry lips, so don't forget to bring these babies, k?

3. Hair Milk


I always use these magical milk (?) every time after  washing my hair. It gives the smooth and airy feel, also holds your hairstyle for a long time. Psst! It also gives volume to my thin hair and long lasting also cox you only need tiny amount for your hair (depends on how long your hair is). This product isn't sold in my country (Indonesia) and I bought it few months ago in Watsons Singapore for S$10. Reaaally recommended!! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

4. Lip Colour











Cox my lips are dry, they tend to be really pale so I need tinted lip balms or most of the times, lip tints to give my lips a bit of colour. I prefer using lip tints than tinted lip balms or lip stick cox they stay longer and you can build up the colour bit by bit.

 5. Contact Lenses
 
I also always use contact lenses and this, (geo mimi bambi chocolate brown) is the one I'm currently using, beside the acuvue moist one. I have bad eyesight and my mom won't let me use glasses. (LOL that explains them all). And I use contact lenses, especially circle lenses to enlarge my small eyes hahhas.


And that's basically all the basic products that I can't live without. I'll post the full list another time, K? Cox the full list is too long and I'm too lazy to do it today hahahs. Hope this help any of you guys~
