Weekend ~

 

This weekend I went out to meet up with my friend Nickolas  he's a friend I made last year through the Batman fandom on Twitter and since we share the same opinions and like the same ships we became really close ww however, Nick lives in the Northeast so it's why we haven't met before. He's now on a vacation with his here dad so we took the chance! 

(Please note that I won't be posting any pictures with him here. He doesn't like showing off his face on the internet and I respect that!)

Close ups with darker lightning to show up the shimmering and glittery parts better:

 ColourPop x Barbie "Malibu Barbie" palette, Daiso Ur Glam UG Glitter Eyes palette in "01 Glitter Pink"

 Bruna Tavares x Hello Kitty liquid blush in "Friendship"

 SheGlam x Catwoman Jewel Thief highlighter ring

 Diamond Lash "Angel eye", off-brand lower lashes

 Nivea x Bridgerton lip balm in "Rose Meringue"

I once again didn't take any outfit pictures  so I'll talk about my makeup only!

Man, I was so pleased with this look! I wanted it to look VERY VERY pink, fancy flamingo levels of pink... And I did it  I used a glitter shadow from Daiso and I'll be writing a review for that soon!

 I was quite frustrated that I couldn't do the hairstyle I had planned though. I attempted a few times and my arms became so sore I couldn't barely rise them up.  So I ended up with that pretty boring hairstyle although it was a nice match with the more mature look I went for with a long dress and wedges. I tried my best 

Btw here's a picture I took of my highlighter alongside the Batman minifigure I gave to Nickolas  this highlighter is literally a ring you can actually wear and it's from the Catwoman collection released by SheGlam for Halloween last year. We joked that mini Batman was going to propose to Catwoman who's a great woman and therefore needs a big ring ww

GO, BRUCE WAYNE, GO! Ignore the fact that she's a runaway bride. IKYK 

We were supposed to go to Beco do Batman (Batman's Alley), which is a bohemian alley in central São Paulo with many graffitied walls that got this name after a Batman graffiti gained popularity in the 1980s. This alley is known as a spot for artists to create new graffiti arts, so the walls never look the same, and there are many bars and stores with the Batman theme as well. DC/Warner acknowledge the alley as part of the character's history and relevance for the pop culture, so they often order new arts for it too and was even used as a background in the cover art for a comic book recently!

It would be the perfect hangout spot for us, but unfortunately it rained A LOT this weekend and the alley tends to get really dangerous when it rains. So we went to the mall instead but there were some really cool stuff going on!

There has been many Bridgerton promotions in São Paulo recently and I randomly ran into this display of some costumes from the show. They also gave free drinks that were made in partnership with it. I'm personally a big fan of Bridgerton, especially this season's book, so I was in awe! 

Right after, I went to take a quick look at Sephora and guess what? MORE FREEBIES! There was a promotion for their new skincare products and each person could get one random free full size product. Nick and his dad were super kind to get in the line with me so I could get more products! I got a retractable pencil eyeliner (LUCKY because I was in need for a new pencil!), a blue eyeshadow and a body mask!  I could try their new products too!

I'll take this as a sign for me to go back wearing blue eyeshadow... Remember when it was my signature eye color?

I also got some adorable stickers from Nick  he's an artist so some of these are made by him (on the right)! Go follow him on Instagram to check out his work 

I was SOOOO happy for this weekend 

I'm so happy and grateful for my friends and I've made so many good memories in the Batman community... I do have a rough time in the fandom sometimes (and while reading some comics too because boy, they can get AWFUL sometimes) but it's one of the little things in my life that bring me so much joy. 

I can't wait to be able to pay him a visit at his hometown someday!! 

Unusual places I find gal inspo

Warning: Picture-heavy post

This post will be a little unusual (no pun intended ).

Although a gal's main reference always come from the magazines and street snaps, I believe that finding inspiration outside of these two is just as important, especially when developing your own style.

Take Deedeedoo, for example. She calls herself the "cyber gal". It's not an already existing substyle – she made it herself. And she's extremely unique! Many gaijin gals often worry too much about fitting in a specific substyle and forget about developing their own signature style and making themselves unique within the subculture.

So these are my non-gal references that help me compose my own style 

Sanrio Suntan blind box ~

 Hey!

So I've been super exhausted and I don't want to write a long post so this will be very straightforward...

I got my Suntan series blind box, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it...

I GOT CHARMMY KITTY!!!!! 

I really wish this post was longer, there are some cool stuff from the past weekend I wanted to talk about, and I have comments to reply too... But I'm really too tired and I'll be super busy for the next three weeks because of my birthday, so I hope you guys understand (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)

I'll try to blog though, because I'll have a lot of stuff to tell! Such as the haircut I'll be getting soon!!!

Yesterday + about Nemoyayo's engagement!

I had a very fun day yesterday 

I had enough time to do a simple makeup!!!  I didn't draw my brows on but I had a nose contour, namidabukuro and an eyeliner... So I feel like it's enough considering I did that at 5AM 

Right above my office there's a printing store and I did a sheet with some of the puri I do on my Nintendo DSi though Sparkle Snapshots – in photo sticker paper, as the purikura gods intended! I also printed out a picture of my Gyarusa at Ronron's birthday last year for the purikura keychain I got at Daiso a few months ago 

I loved how it turned out! I can't wait to do more puri and print it out in the future! I'm totally bringing my NDSi with me for every meetup!

With Trixxie, Akei, Larie and Nana (Nana is a non-gal friend ). I printed two of each puri so I can give one to the person I took it with.

I made it small on purpose and it looks surprisingly convincing after being cut out! 

Isn't this keychain adorable??? I hung it alongside my Diamond Lash gacha and Suntan Kitty-chan on my makeup bag 

After my shift I went to the mall to get my nephew a present and I stopped quickly at Daiso to get one more Suntan Kitty sticker blind pack. I got the sheet I wanted!!! 

SUNTAN MIMI = ZARA LARSSON 

Obsessed with Kitty with the lei too!

Saw these SUPER CUTE wooden sandals on sale!!! But I can't buy them atm 

I'm seeing my nephew for the first time tomorrow! No, he's not a newborn  he was born in the US and I haven't been able to meet him yet! He's almost 5 years old and it's his second time in Brazil. The first time he came, I unfortunately could not see him because of work  so you can probably wonder how excited I am!

I really wanted to talk about Nemoyayo's engagement...

We all know and adore Yayo. Iconic ex-Eggmo, current Ane Ageha model, gyaru icon.

She was just proposed. And not by a man.

Nemoyayo is in a lesbian engagement!!! 

This is really huge! As a fellow lesbian gal, not only I was surprised, but so, so happy for her. For all of us. In 24 hours, a queer woman won an Olympic gold in my favorite sport (CONGRATULATIONS, ALYSA LIU!) and Yayo announced her engagement to another woman! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!  We sapphics keep winning!

I didn't know Yayo is a sapphic so it was so shocking. Knowing this great gal icon loves women and being so open about it in a mostly LGBT-phobic country like Japan... I'm so proud of her and her beautiful fiancee! 

They met 16 years ago when Yayo was still modeling for Egg and her fiancee was also a gal!

Yayo... If only you could know how happy I am for you and how meaningful this is for me... I hope we get to see more sapphic gals living their happily ever after! 

ねもやよ大好き!!!!
