Ontario Gyaru: Winter Summit 2015☆

Hello hello helloヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ~! Jan. 31st was finally Ontario's Gal Winter Summit in Toronto! It was a nice day that included bubble tea, shopping at Jealousy Beauty, having dinner at DonDon Izakaya and belting out lyrics at karaoke. I was so busy taking everyone else's pics, I forgot to take a selfie. Which is kind of good because I wasn't having the greatest makeup day（；￣д￣）. Well this was my look for the meet! 

Here are a few photos from the meet.

Anyone need ナプキン ? (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ

It was wonderful seeing all my loves again and the new faces as well. Everyone has busy lives, but I hope to see them all again real soon.

Adieu!

フレアフレグランス ~FLAIR Fragrance~ {Review}

Hey everyone! I just wanted to do a review post for this product I picked up at Jealousy Beauty in Downtown Toronto (Queen street location) (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧FLAIR Fragrance Mist*:･ﾟ

It's a mist spray that freshens your clothes throughout the day, and becomes stronger when you're moving a lot or working up a sweat. I remember seeing the CM for this spray last year, so I was surprised when I saw it on the shelf~♡

The packaging is so pretty! I can never resist a product with a nice package. It took me a while to decide which scent I wanted, but I ended up getting the FLORAL & SWEET scent for $8, and I don't regret it. I was anxious to try it out so I tested the mist on my hats and my main jacket to see how long the scent lasts.

Hat results: I sprayed all my hats the day before, and the next day it was still giving off that soft floral fragrance. The smell didn't start to ware off until 4 days later ♡

Jacket results: 
After giving the inside of my jacket 20 sprays, the scent kept the inside fur nice and fresh for about 7 days! Running to class every day, made me smell like a sweet flower (ノ*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

Overall / ★★★★☆

I recommend this for those who don't like strong smelling scents, and just want to exude a nice feminine smell. I want to try the other fragrances they have as well.
The only con is that you will unknowingly spray everything, and the bottle will start to disappear real quick...

Gals Who Don't Want to be Gals

"Nose stripes are ugly"
"I hate over the top gyaru with tans and big hair"

"I don't like wearing much makeup"

...The list goes on.

If you hang around the gyaru community groups long enough, you will find phrases like those from girls who have yet to progress, and don't seem like they want to. I don't get it, do you like the style or not? I'm not sure if some of the new girls really know what gyaru style is and use to be. Not too long ago I was asked the question what does someone need to look gyaru? My answer was: 

I think you need obviously noticeable gyaru makeup and great coordinates. The way you wear them everything, and little details make a difference.

Lol everyone kind of battled back and forth for a bit. After thinking about it for a while longer, I kind of want to change my answer to:

You need everything 

*Gal make with lashes and the whole shabang

*Great body flattering coordinates

*Nicely done hair

*Trendy or unique accessories

This is what makes some gaijin gals JUST LOOK GYARU.

 They do all those things, know what they want to look like and practice till they get it right. It's one
thing to have days when you are on off mode but still making progress, and another to look off all the time and say "Here is my gyaru style". You can't stop half way and say DONE. To me, learning how to do JUST eye make means absolutely NOTHING if you don't have anything else going on... Because now other styles are using the same makeup technique. If you put no effort you are not going to go far. There are so many magazines and photos of gyaru that you can search for online, and practice from. It's even better to ask privately for help if you are shy.

If you really love the fashion put in all your effort.

 

Be bold and do your best, because you will have more fun :)
I made this post especially for the Ontario gyaru.

☆GALUXURY Meetups☆

For the past year I have been more active in the Canadian gyaru community, trying to get the group talking and a little bit more lively. In result I organized a few meet ups~! Apparently I am the leader of the Ontario community. Here is a look at almost all the meetups we have had in the past year.

☆Blogging Again☆

Heeeey everyone! I am happy to say that the crazy monkey gal is back!! Look at all this RADY inspired layout going on! :D lol do I look any different?? --->
I think my life is more eventful now and worth blogging about. I debated whether or not to delete my old posts, but decided not to because that's where I started from and it would be a shame to get rid of them :) So many positive... and some negative things have happened since the last time I made a real blog post which was about 2 years and some change, and i'm excited to share them and my everyday life! I have been holding down a job since way back last year, and finally making some $$$....Lol i'm still broke because I have so many things to pay T__T. Also, I have made some amazing gal friends in my province and around Canada, and now a part of a gyarusa.

When I stopped blogging, I kinda slowly started to read fewer blogs, and then for the longest time completely stop reading blogs (With exception to the few I run into on fb that seemed interesting). I have mostly been around and updated about other gals in the fb communities....but I find it's mostly drama and great gals are overshadowed by the fame seekers and the trouble makers. So before I prepared my blog for it's new journey, I decided to immerse myself back into the gal blog community by going on a hunt for new gals, old gals I adored, popular gals and everything in between.
My reaction to the results of my hunt was... WHAT THE HELL IS ALL OF THIS NONSENSE!

I can't even explain. I'm going to have to save that for another post because that business needs to be put in a damn list. Obviously not all of what I found was bad! There are lots of woooonderful gyaru and gyaruo out there now and i'm looking forward to following their gal lifestyle. Some of the gyaru that were newbies at the time of my old blogging days are now amazingly beautiful gals and well known, which is so exciting. But sadly some fantastic gyaru that use to blog, don't anymore or they do not even look the slightest bit gal :( .

ANYWAYS! I will be posting about 2 or more posts a week!

You can also see what i'm up to on intsagram @Cakepoyo if you don't already.

Let's talk! I would love to get to know more of you guys around the world. If you're a creep hiding on my fb...say hi once in a while...>___>

Follow me on my new journey!

Canada Day Code

HEY~!♥ 

Happy Canada day to all the Canadians :D (It was yesterday but today is a holiday)

Yesterday I had lunch and boba tea with some friends and saw some fireworks later that day, it was so much fun!

Here was my code and hairstyle from yesterday.

(I get dressed before I do makeup sorry♥)

I loved my hair that day because the loose curls were perfect~!

Lol I have been noticing that my heels were scratching my floors just a bit and I don't really keep my shoes in my room so I decided to slip on my slippers instead :p

You can't see in the pic since my body was so awkwardly positioned, but I was wearing a fox tail.

:D It's a new one I got in April at Toronto's Chinatown with my bf (:p The pic was for a post I was suppose to do a while back)

When my friends and I went for lunch, the cutest little girl snuck out of her seat to play with my fox tail 

It was adorablllllllleeeee~! I got to pick her up and hug her~! >w< I just wanted to claim her as my little sister♥

Adieu♥
