Budget Gyaru - Cute things do come at a cheap price ;3

Hi, 

today , I'm going to talk about being a Budget Gyaru ;3 

But before that ^^  I went to the casting today , 

not sure  how I did .. the other girls are so pretty OwO !!

Rached pxdkitty , Kelly Konomi are also in :D !!

and they are real pretty >,< 

my confidence...  ahahaha^^"

anyway , about my own make ,  I'm not sure if lookalike or not >,< 

they havent gotten back to me about the results yet T_T I hope i get into the top 15 just because I realllly reallly want to see Tsubasa Masuwaka T_T

HAHAHA , forcing *awkward smile* , trying to camwhore while ignoring

 that cab uncle was staring at me via  the mirror ^^ 

Always get stares whenever I dressed up as gyaru OTL... 

Being a gyaru isnt cheap. We cant dress fashionably without spending some $$$ :( 

But we can minimise our spendings by budgetting on whatever we can ;3 

Firstly , I'm going to talk about some gyaru essentials 

that we CAN NOT compromise on quality whenever possible 

1. Make up 

this includes 

tsukema (accessory lashes :3 ) , make up essentials (foundation , eyeshadow pallette , make up base, lipgloss etc :3) 

We cant really compromise on this as I personally dont want to dab on some dubious unbranded make up bought off taobao that may even be fake

My $$ T_T

One of my favorite lashes are from Dolly Wink !

There's a reason I bought Dolly-Wink , because , 

their quality is really .. really...

sigh.... its economical actually . Its just painful on the wallet at one go, 

but beneficial in the long term ^^

I bought two pairs of Dolly Wink  and they last for a year 

I bought these half a year ago and hasnt used them :P 

They last 2-3 times usage , but they're fragile and arent comfortable ^^"

Check out my impulse buy ^^ 

Dont crticise me . The whole box is my hard earned $9 (only)

2. Skin & Hair Care products
Girls in general also need skin care products ;3 

This is even more important than make up in my opinion

As for me , since I'm very busy at school and often lacks sleep,

I really need some proper skin care to ensure that despite of sleep deprivation my skin will still be healthy

That being said , healthy food and drink are very important too !!

some products I am using :3

3. Lenses

needless to say :P 
you dont want to put low quality lenses ON your eyes !!!!
So you cant really budget on this ^^ 

Now, lets actually move on onto things we can budget ^^ 

Accessories , Clothings , and Shoes !

I admit that , 
there  are cute things that are expensive AND irresistible for me >n<

such as this...

My love for Nyanko sensei T_T 

My friend spend quite a lot of money buying this from Japan as a present for my birthday T_T 

I felt quite bad even now receiving these

BUT !!! Cute things doesnt always need to be expensive deshou ?! 
In this post , I'm going to show you how you can get cute things with minimum spending :3
while being in Singapore that is , 
where most things are expensive 

1. G Market 
G market actually has a lot of cheap stuff ;3 
My friend got me this for $4 WITH shipping, believe it or not ;3

2. Daiso 
I cant stress how many cute things can be found at Daiso xD !!!
You just really have to prioritise 
and dont let yourself buy things you can get for $1 at mamashops 
I got this huge cute polkadot ribbon for $2 :D !!!

a rose  pin /hair clip I spotted last week :3

Lace hairband :3

3. Sales 
Sales !! yes . You need to have the ultimate self control :3 
Most of my clothes doesnt exceed $10 (yes, thats how cheapo I am ^^) that being said , 
note that I say 'most' :P doesnt mean I so cheapo until everything below $10 ^^ 

But Sales , really , 
let me show you :
These accessories are all $1 each ;3 

Got this pair of cute shoes hair clips for $4 during a sale :3

Point is : 1. Dont splurge on sales. Only spulrge when you know its ridiculously cheap (like this hahaha ) Sales doesnt have to be in some secluded malls too^^ the stuff above are from Valerie at Boon Lay Mall and  one accessory shop in Vivo City ^^ 

that being said , Candy Doll Singapore is having a 
up to 70% sale till this Friday 7th Dec 2012!! :D 
Read about it here !!

 4. Cant find a cheap one ? Improvise !
when I want something but I cant find it at a cheap price or cant find it at all, I improvise. 
Meaning , D-I-Y or Pseudo-D-I-Y it ! :P 

These are my latest cheaponess bout
I wanted some cute lacey wedges but has limited funds so...

1. I went down to bugis :P 
2. Saw a pair of shoes on sale at $10 
3. Thought to myself " A-ha !! I have 50 cm of lace that is stained with Stabilo and I cant use as hair tie anymore !!! 
4. Bought it and brought it home :

Here they are ~ before and after :3 
I can actually add some more flowers etc but I'm a bit lazy to do it now hahaha xD 
Nevermind ^^ as long as i get the point across^^ 

Also spotted a pair of pink rose earrings at Bugis for $2 per pair -- 2 roses ^^
So i bought them, took off the pin and made them into hair clips :3 since the shop doesnt sell nice clips with these roses



I also DIY-ed these floral wreath before :

A pom pom which dropped off my old winter hat ^^" 
okay la , not so creative this one hahahaha

You must be surprised at how cheapo I am now :3
Its called budgetting :P

This applies to other things like Manicure too ;3 
I'm definitely still learning, I've seen, but I've never actually had a manicure before :P

with fimo cane


piyo piyo and fried egg 

 Florals

5. Freebies 

There are looots of freebies at facebook nowadays . Go get them :P

At least you get to try them before you buy them if its reaallllly good ^^

6. Fleas 
that being said , I've only been to fleas 2-3 times , and didnt buy much la 
But there are some really good stuff there if you care to hunt for it ^^


such as my $3 floral hat 
which the seller actually sold half heartedly  ^^"""

7. Events Events Events ~

 Its happening here ^^ companies are holding events to promote their products 
(I actually went to this one and bought their make up base in the end .. T_T but no regret . Its realllly good . And I found out some products I should never buy too, to be fair ^^)

and during these events , Goodie Bags are usually a given ^^

I got these from Majolica Workshop ;3 , read about it here

Do you know that there's an upcoming event this Saturday 

where you'll get a freebie too ? ;3

Rnadom Post : Food, Salon-visit, Ramen, and My cheapo Haul :P

I've no idea how to title this post anymore :P

This is where I went to today, but as the title suggests, this post is about some random stuff I did in the span of these few days ;3 So lets proceed~~~

Hahahaha, these few days have been very busy for me, mainly because I've got a lot of studying and catching up to be done >,< and its my fault also, for being too slow in studying xP Haiz....

I feel sick Last Sunday (and keeping me headache-free and runny-nose-free throughout Seiransai are my Panadol Flu muahahahahaha!! xD ) 

Good thing is, I got nice ,healthy food for lunch ^^ 

so here's some picture to make you drool if you like this kind of food (yummeh~ ) 

 

Hahaha, but after I got better, I'm still quite easily bored ... Painted my nails (after like 1 month of not even bothering to do anything with them, because once i do it, it will take 1 hour to do everything, and I am too cheapo to go to manicure them in a shop if i can do it 80% properly  myself  :P ) 

Base Colour : Milky Pink 

Painted some ribbons and stuck some Daiso (Cheapo TM :P ) nail sticker on them ;P 

Ok if a bit cui~ I'm quite pleased with my amateur work ;P 

Then, I spotted this cutie too, a few days ago in a shop near my place !!!

*Squeals*

Its a piggy Moon Cake !! xD

Not v nice taste wise, but its soooo cute for $1 !!! 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then TODAY !!

Thursday , I went for a "haircut" at a salon which I bought an $18 deal from online 

Basically the deal says I am entitled to Keratin Hair treatment + Wash + Blow + Complementary hair Cut 

Me, quite happy and jolly before the hair cut 

THEN !!! I was told by the lady owner (not the nee san above) that she printed the voucher Wrongly and I am Very Lucky to get the voucher because she took down the advert after half-a-day and changed the detail print =_=, so I am not entitled to a complementary hair cut and she will only cut my fringe....  like ... wth..... =_= the only reason  (cheapo)  Thirfty me spend $18 was because I'll be entitled to free hair cut =_= ....anyw she told me because its half the wrong print's fault ,

so she'll cut my hair for an extra $10 =_= I was quite disappointed then... but Im still camwhoring ebcause I am in quite a good mood that day to get pissed :P 

Nothing shall ruin my ramen day ! (you'll see if you scroll down)

 OTL .. wide forehead OTL ... hahaha *awkward laugh*

This guy seriously act like he never see the hair steam machine thingie before lollz xD 

Ee-chan, voluntarily accompanying me to the hair salon, 
studying there since he's hvg exam next week ! xD hahaha 

 (stare at the steam coming out of the machine)

He kept on trying to make me laugh : 

"Your hair is being cooked!!Your hair is being cooked!!" 

Lollz xD

But anyway, decided NOT to cut it after so long

( partially because I am not so keen in having it cut also =_= and partially because that guy sitting behind me convinced me my hair is not messy altho its too long )

so here's me, camwhoring after my hair fringe cut ,
(almost no change at all ^^"""" cheated by the online coupon haiz...
in too much of a good mood to argue back with the owner ^^"""""") 

with waffles in my right hand (awkward pose and place, cause the salon is really small - altho you cant see it here >,< and the lady waiting behind was initially kept looking at me camwhoring at the big mirror there , so I paiseh hurry and only managed to take this one pic >,<)

After that , guess where my friends and I went to after this !!!! ;D

Keisuke Tonkotsu King at ground floor of Orchid Hotel in Tanjong Pagar !!!!

I've seen posts about this in Anibee and elsewhere for DAYS and I've been craving it 

so I kinda bugged my group of friends to go here altho they wanted Ramen Champion >,< 

Im kinda bored with Ramen champion also now...

free beansprout and boiled eggs !!! xD

Am quite happy with the beansprouts ! Fresh and delish !

The bpiled eggs --> TmT we all thought it was the soft, 6-minute-boiled egg with runny yolk  kind, apparently its the HARD boiled kind OTL

my friend grinding the sesame and pepper :3 

they have unique poster on the walls 

as you can see, the shop is veeery very cramped >,< fit about 16-20 people?

Here's my Tonkotsu Original which came with all toppings including Japanese seaweed and pork slices!!!!

xD

 look at that creamy goodness !!! You get to customize your soup flavor, chicken oil level, and noodle texture. Mine is strong, normal, normal consecutively :3

 Playing with the hard boiled egg lollz xD 

they [provide mayo too!!

soup, Thick and creamy! Yum ! xD

Noodle, nice :3 !!

Cha Shu !! Have to say a bit disappointed here :( I';ve eaten lots and Looots  of Ramen >,< and no matter how poor a student and a human being I am, I must die die save some $$ to eat some REAL ramen once every few months T_T 

This Cha Shu is quite tough and its taste is a bit on the weak side. Doesnt leave me with a bad impression, but rather no memorable impression.

Suffice to say, the soup is a wham of brothy goodness though ^^ 

Next time, will I come again ? Maybe ;P

given the price is a bit cheaper than other ramen stalls if you dont order the 'all toppings' version, its a good deal (since the broth is the star , at least for me anyway :P ) 

But not for this month  xP

I'm broke xD 

ahahaha, and I have to study now~

Lemme end with my Cheapo TM haul these few days :P

$3 for $10 

its a freaking MEASURING SPOON necklace ! With some like 'ancient looking' scribblings which actually says gibberish on it !!! (my favorite kind of stuff is the ancient looking one, throw in some elvish looking scribbles and gimme vintage colour, you got me ;P )

can use to measure stuff in emergency forget i ever wrote that! OTL thats what i told my friend who accompanied me into the shop

But seriously, >,< I think this is friggin adorable >,<

This one necklace has like 5 rings on it !!! =_= 5 rings for $3.33 is a good deal no ;3 and the ring is adjustable size kind xD

Ok, this look like normal shades

But.... I'm not a shade person , so I never had any pair of shades before, thus behold... 

TmT my FIRST pair of shade... (already kena commented by my friend (via the silence I was given and the prolonged sigh) buti still maintain my stance : I think this is cute T_T and $3.33 is ok... I shop like once in a looooong while anyway T_T 

and below's hauls *evil laugh*

$1 arm bangle from VIVOCITY !!! Believe it or not :P

 $1 Beads Choker from VIVOCITY ALSO !!! 

$3 floral STRAW HAT xD !!!!

Hahahahaha 

Im pretty amazed I can be so cheapo actually ;P 

 Its a good skill for a poor student to stay fashionable ! ;P

I'm really gonna die the next few days T_T
