HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MIKO!


It's Biiiiiiirthday Weeek!!!!


I went to celebrate my birthday with my mom the past couple of days since she works this weekend on the day of my actual birthday! I had a blast! Cheesecake as a birthday cake, good food, fun times. I caught up on True Blood, I had a great time, and of course I got presents! I got two pairs of CUTE flats (one black with a ZIPPER BOW, they were so cool. And one red suede pair!) I got clothes, earrings, bronzer (IN LOVE with Bronzer), Lip Gloss (It's Buxom Lips in Samantha, HIGHLY recommended, gals!), The True Blood Eye Palette from Sephora (it's amazing!) AND.... MY CIRCLE LENSES! They haven't come yet but I'll show you guys a picture of what I got!


I got the Vivian 3 Tone Green Lenses off Eyecandylens.com! They are the best site, a lot of gals who's blogs I read use them and I ordered them from there! They're 15.0 mm across so I'm expecting them to be nice and huge! SOOO excited! I'll have to take pictures when they're in so you guys can see and hopefully I can hijack mom's camera for a minute to do so! That's all for today! Reviews will start soon! Much loves!

xoxo

Music Obsession of the Day!



I am obsessed with Caramelldansen, no matter what language it's in!

Lashes on a budget!

The best lashes I have ever heard of, according to Gals who's blogs I read, from all over the world, are Dolly-Wink lashes. They're modeled on Tsubasa Masuwaka, and on PinkyParadise (which I'll get more into later) they're 18 dollars. Expensive! I have found some good lashes that can be found in drug stores, cheaply on the internet, even dollar general! You don't have to spend tons and tons of money to be cute and Gal and for all of us gals on a budget, less pricy but quality items are necessities. So, without further adieu, Miko Gyaru Presents: Lashes on A Budget!



SELECT LASH EYELASHES

COST: $1.25 US - $3.00

CAN BE FOUND AT: Dollar General, Walmart, Drug Stores

COMMENTS: I love these lashes! I use them all the time. I get them at Dollar General for $1.25 so I can buy a lot at one time and they're very very good quality. I personally use the S42's and the S47's. If you gals want to give these a try and buy other kinds, leave a comment and let me know how you like them!




ARDELL FASHION LASHES, HUMAN HAIR


COST: $3.00 US- $5.00 US

CAN BE FOUND AT: Drug Stores, Walmart, and MakeupGeek.Com! (In the "Store" Section. For cheap too! MUG has VERY good prices!)

COMMENTS: I love Ardell's lashes too! They're a little more pricey than the SelectLash but they're very good for special occasions (I use the SelectLash for everyday use, to keep costs at a minimum.) They look very natural in the smaller sizes but can go all the way up to dramatic and wild!



REVLON BEYOND NATURAL EYELASHES

COST: $4.00 US - $6.00

CAN BE FOUND AT: Walmart, Drug Stores

COMMENTS: These lashes, especially in Double Wink, which was the kind I bought are VERY dramatic! They're beautiful and very fun, and recommended for the wilder styles of Gyaru! They're very good quality, very durable band, very soft and beautiful. Highly recommended, especially for special occasions and going out. I wouldn't buy them for everyday wear as they're a little more expensive, and there's not a discount on them at MakeupGeek.



And there you have it! Lashes on a Budget! I'm expecting my first pair of Circle Lenses soon and am SO excited! I'll review them when I get them as well as the site I got them from, Pinky Paradise!






A Busy Summer For A Busy Gal!

So sorry to have neglected this for a month or two, gals, but I promise you I have not forgotten about the readers of this blog and Miko Chan has returned! So what have I been doing? Driving. A few years ago I got into a terrible accident and it changed the way I feel, completely, about driving. I have avoided that like the plague and now, well I'm at a point in my life where I can't anymore. It's time to start living and doing and seeing and getting on with things and not letting something that happened over 5 years ago continue to effect my life. What else have I been doing? Applying for Cosmetology School! I can't tell you gals and gal-o's how excited I am for this! Hair and makeup has sort of become my life, now that I've gotten into Gyaru and carrying that over professionally is a dream come true. This style has gotten me back to living again and being normal and being confident. Gyaru is all about feeling beautiful, loving yourself, being happy and I can't tell you how important that is in your life. So, what's in store next for Miko Gyaru's blog?

Reviews!! I have so many reviews of products I've bought and tried, anything to help you gals out a little more! And I am buying more and more stuff, so of course, more and more reviews!

Cool Sites to check out! I've been browsing the internet, trying to find the coolest blogs, retail sites, products and clothes for you gals to try out! I've even scoured ebay for stuff!

Looking forward to a productive fall with you ladies and I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I love love love writing it!

xoxo
Miko!
