1/11 - I dissect how my look has developed in 2025.

 Hello y'all, final 1/11 blog post. I wanted to detail a bit more of how my looks have changed over the year in 2025 because I feel like though 2024 was a mental glow up, I really took a physical glowup in 2025. I'll be very harsh on myself and dissecting my looks, so disclaimer. 1) This is how I feel about ME!!! NOT YOU!!! YOU DO WHATEVA!!! I usually take my gal criticisms and put them on myself the hardest. 2) If you are uncomfy with someone doing self dissection of their makeup and styling you are free to head off. 

But if you're interested in how I view my make and styling this is the blog for u. It gets lazy at the end but. whatever.

I think if like we want to start with the official first code of 2025, which was almost the last code of 2024 simply as I stayed up for NYE, it would be this one!

I definitely was in the phase of "I am never taking these prisilas off my head". And working on a more dramatic eye makeup. I will say this code was definitely more like... appropriate for the party we were going to, but I'd like to try a sleeveless styling of this in 2026 too. 

For me personally, my biggest dislike is the lack of tan here. Ever since I started tanning I just realized I like it for me personally, and it also solved my problem of foundation issues where even the lightest foundation looks noticeably different. I use cheaper products where they really don't make the ultra pale stuff. I also think liye can change how it looks depending on how tan I am or not. 

Also I think this eyemake + no lens combo makes my eyes looks a bit... odd. I think the warm brown under the eye looks weird, but the eyebright part was (chefs kiss).

At the point of the gal journey I was in... it's not bad!

Ok, we have to talk about cunty floral bingo look now. 

I actually really liked how the makeup looked here even though I'm still doing the no lens make + lack of tan. I think this hair color just worked super well with my paler complexion. I actually need to order this wig again as I ruined mine for my halloween costume lol. I also liked making the accessories hehe.. the only issue is they don't go with anything else I have.

My biggest issue with this code was the SHOES!! To this day I still struggle with good shoes... and socks. At this point I didn't have a lot of like... white socks... so I was like arghh??? 

I now want to talk about probably my least favorite look this year. 

I want to like it. I was just trying so hard to be "casual gyaru" but still doing too much. I also recreated a himena eye make that just was too drastic for no lenses. Hence I don't have many photos of this. There's a few codes like this where I just... struggle. Also I looked kind of ghastly in this code which ah.... not a good look for me.

I also need to make a mention for the two slay kyaba looks

 

Bye not the bottom being from rednote LMFAOOOO its ok.

These ones I did tan but had the new issue of oh god my foundation is too light... but I think these two looks were the start of my visualizing my slayful woman image. I always want to have a slayful woman image for sure. I also was struggling if I wanted to wear a bottom lash or not.

I think however the biggest change in my gal looks were when three things happened.

1) Got lenses in April (and an extra, when I discovered loveil and daily lenses from Japan). 

2) Got back into tanning

3) Realizing I don't gotta GAF if I look gal to other ppl as long as I am enjoying my look.

I feel like with those3 things, emphasis on the third, I definitely developed my look more. Even in my casual chiikawa tracksuits I could make it a bit more "gal" 

 

Though it got so bad I had to do only gal makeup for cosplay because I forgot how to do any other makeup. I was wearing lenses for pitbull.. oppenheimer... wowie wowie...

I think also in general I allowed myself to steet away from stereotypical agejo and do more with looks, and experiment more, and it's been really fun! I've been loving more of the looks I put together in the later half of the year this year. Even if some are simple, include my hair, or a non prisila.

I could detail further on many of my favorite looks now... but I think honestly just the look I had on 12/31/2025 was a good look... a big change from my 12/31/2024 look. I think this look also captures of "slayful woman" image I've wanted to capture. May it continue to develop in 2026... ya girl getting into ane agejo again..... the winter always makes me yearn for florals and business woman fits

I will say... did stop using bottom lashes again... thats ok LOL! I'm always experimenting w/ my "droop" area.

Ok... that's a lot of blogs in one day and I need some late lunch. To pizza marvin I go.
