I also post outfits and other things related with my daily life ^w^ My blog's name is めぐみのブログ wich means "Megumi's Blog". ^w^ Check it out if you can!

I'm back with lots of Liz Lisa and a new interview ~~~~

Soooo... this last three weeks have been the caos for me... I had tests of all my subjects except one, phisical education... at least that. I hate phisical educiation. I'm really lazy ^^''. Now I only have one more, MACS (Mathematics aplied to the Social Sciences, which is a specific subject from my course, Languages and Humanities) on Friday. Today I had Portuguese test, and 'till now, it was the only one that went well. All the others went just wrong. I got a miserable 5 in philosophy, from 0 to 20... That's just bad. Whatever... I already decided to change myself if I want to get anywhere. This last three weeks have also been crucial to my future. I finally decided what I want to do in the future. Well I want to work in Japan, because it's a country that I love and a country that it's rulled by some principles that I admire and agree, and I like either Languages or History. Unfortunatly the type of history that I like the most (Egypt and Greece) isn't the most famous in Japan so it's a no. I'm left with Languages wich I love. I've also been told that the teching market in Japan is always open. They are always looking for new teachers wich is good. I already have the 1st level of Japanese wich will help me in the future ^w^. Said that I decided to study to be a Portugues/English teacher in Japan ^w^. I'm already saving up for my first trip to Japan, in two years. I have to start saving now, or I won't have enought money to go and to buy gyaru, lolita, visual kei and other things ^^''

But let's get to "business". Because I've neglegected you I intend, with this post, to beg your forgive xD

Soo, let's get started.



Well, all this time that I was away Liz Lisa has changed their website design. This is what it looks like now:



Also they have uploaded their online store website with five more pick up coordinates pots.

Here they are:

By the way, I forgot to tell you but I now have a personal blog where I post about not only gyaru but other things that I like such as lolita, visual kei, anime, manga, otome games, and other things that aren't related to Japan, although I do write in English and Japanese, as a way to practice my japanese ^^''... Feel free to take a peak, follow and comment ^w^ It's called めぐみのブログ which means Megumi's blog ^w^

* How did you discovered gyaru?
From the Internet , youtube.

Yes. Tsubasa undoubtly.

* Do you have any gaijin gal inspiration? If yes, who?
No.

* What are your favourite brands?
Liz Lisa and Ma*rs.

* Do you use gyaru everyday?
No, because I only have 30 minutes in the morning and it's not enough. I only use the circle lenses. 

* What is your parents and friends reaction towards the style? 
A bit bad: some are indifferent, other criticize.

* When your walking in the streets dressed in gyaru, how do people react to your look? 
They stare a little bit. The was a time that a kid said to his father screaming: "Look daddy, a doll!". ^W^

* For you is being a gyaru difficult?
A little bit, it's expensive, it needs time and lots of pacience.

* Are ther any other gyaru girls in your country?
It's really rare.

Yes ^w^

* Which make up do you prefere: lighter and natural or darker and extravangant?
Natural, that highlights me.

I wash my hair with warm water,  a good shampoo, the one that I use is from Elvire with purpurins *w* and a good condicioner. After all rinse well. Put some nutritive oil in the air, and dry well. Better than ever!

I hear trance, jumpstyle. I'm the type of person who listens to BUMBUM then to slow musics.

To be calm and to have pacience. Lots of pacience because it's really irritating in the begginning because nothing fits well. Nothing stays in its place. The lenses are horrible to put in the begginning, and the lashes... I don't even talk about them -.-. It takes too long to choose our clothes and then it doesn't fits well and our foundation is too strong..... Sooo, the best is to have pacience and to train!



And that's it for today! Bai bai ~~~~ 
Btw don't forget to comment!

* Quais são as tuas dicas para quem está a começar?
Eu também estou a começar por isso ainda não posso dar muitos concelhos, mas sem dúvida, o único que posso dar e que a mim me ajudou bastante foi pesquisar muito sobre o estilo: ver blogs de gaijin gyaru, ver blogs das modelos das revistas, ver as revistas, entre outras coisas.

I read the quote "Premium Goat Hair" next to the last touch fan brush and the soft touch powder brush  so I guess these two are goat hair)
