So you packed like the last idiot...

Hey there!~

I am never going to get consistent with blog posts it seems... I seriously make them and edit photos and stuff and I never make the posts D8 Always a bit worried it's irrelevant and stuff... _^_ Oh whatever.
This one is a post I was thinking of creating for some time now, as I feel I could have done with something like this last year 8'3 I study and live in the UK and for over a year and a half already my parents have been living in Poland, which makes some stuff more difficult, like for example packing to accommodate everything I plan on doing and things I know are unlikely to happen but might (so less prioritised in the packing process) and things that will definitely happen (so I pack that for sure) but then in the middle of that plannig you always forget something. Or just something unexpected may happen... And all of that packing and you feel like an idiot who came unprepared 8'D

Well...

So I wanted to show you what do I do makeup-wise 8'3

My makeup bag is rather small because I only ever travel with hand luggage (I'm cheap like that ;p) and send the rest of my stuff over via a courier. It means I should in theory have everything, but then the things I send over I send in advance so it would mean I would not have them on hand at home and it does not always fit in this little baby...

These are the things I took with me this time:

-Lancome Tient Visionnaire foundation with concealer (which is great because I don't have to carry two products)

- Benefit Erase Paste (for foundation-free days plus highlighting)

- Rimmel Stay Matte translucent powder (I really need to get something better...)

-Lancome Color Idear Poudre pressed powder (works wonders on it's own and on top of a foundation)

-Bourjois blushers in pink and orange ( blushers make a BIG difference have a few options on hand!)

-M.A.C Cream Colour Base (funny I brought that but not eyeshadow.... _^_' but it works super well as a highlighter too! )

-Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara (Best mascara I have ever used!)

-L' Oreal glitter top coat mascara (Thought it would be cute for xmas... DUD :/ )

-Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Liner ( not my favourite I packed it by accident really...)

-Rimmer Professional Brow Pencil ( lovely and cheap product~ )

-Selection of pink, red and nude lipsticks (I am not going to go into detail on that one as everyone is looking for different things in their lipstick I just think these 3 colours are essential because they create such different looks just b switching up the lippy~ )

-Circle lenses (In this case my Geo Medical in Magic Brown. More natural lenses will allow for a wider variety of looks)

-selection of random brushes that I actually had in a separate folder ;p

I did not pack any eye colours, eyelashes, glue, primer, face creams, no bronzer, no contour no proper highlighter... FAIL...


I did get given some things and my mom uses makeup so I was set eyeshadow and bronzer-wise but my biggest drama was over fake lashes :/

Mom's stash X3

Poland is not some third world country some people like to believe, but certain fashions just do not get here and fake lashes are one of them (do not even think of finding LOWER lashes...) I have walked around every drug store I could find and NO lashes... I checked online and the only thing I could find were 2 not so great pairs by Bourjois. I know its a bit of a stupid first world problem, but when I wanted to gal-up it was an issue :/ I managed to find, by recommendation of one of my Polish friends, a brand I haven't tried before but I have heard nice things about. INGLOT. Their lashes are not stricte gyaru or anything really but they are really cute and they don't cost that much (I got mine on sale so I only paid around £1 for them hahah 8'D )

They are brown, which is new to me, but they look really cute when on.

I got these for dance competitions X'D They have sparklies on the ends *o*

I am rather impressed with the quality, they feel very light on my eyes and all so that is a really big plus <3

But then let's get onto hair...

My mom cut her hair not long ago so when she was planning to get some styling tools a few months back (which I was counting on lol ) now there is no point with a pixie cut haha.

My hair is smooth, straight, heavy and does SOD ALL when it comes to looking anything but flat and straight...
I kinda deal with it by adding texture by braiding I just spend a day or two with my hair in a braid and then it gets wavy-kinky and voluminous. Still not exactly what I need but it has to do.

With all these set backs this time the only gyaru looks I could go for were casual... But here is my best with what I had X'D (Please excuse the awful skin ;n; I left all of my skincare back in the UK because it's over 100 ml ;n; )

Just moisturiser

war paint X'D

Contouring and highlighting~

Eyeshadow, brows and blush <3

Eye shape and mascara

Fake lashes and lipstick

Finished  ~<3

So yeah. By applying heavier brown eyeshadow that matches the brown lashes I tried to make up for lack of lower lashes 8'3 And I contoured with a matte brown eyeshadow _^_ Ouch. I think that as long as enough depth is made the look will still be gyaru, just as I said, rather casual 8'3

I had to go with glasses because I'm allergic to something around here (I suspect mom's love of indoor plants is killing me ;n; ) and my eyes just rejected lenses in a teary mess...

And obv casual meant bear hoodie dress ;p
