Tokyo streetsnaps ♪

I'm so lazy with blogging.. \(--)/

And it's not even like I do a lot everyday.. But I usually either come home late or stay up till late, and when I finally go to bed I can't even sleep.. I haven't been able to fall asleep before 3-4am these days and I've been here more than a month already so guess I can't call it jetlag anymore
(  ゚,_ゝ゚)

But to the more fun part! I love walking around the streets in Tokyo since you'll ALWAYS find something interesting. The other day I went to Shibuya, I came across this guy
Had to stop up and ask for a picture haha! He was amazing lol

And yesterday when I went to Harajuku for some shopping there happened to be a lot of people dressed up. The other days I've been there the amount of 'alternative dressed' people varies.. However, while waiting at the station for a friend I got a few snaps.
Elegant Lolita. I thought she looked reaaaally pretty ♥
Visual Kei style. Haven't seen it THIS implemented on the street yet.. Like taken out of a band!
This guy.. I found him somehow funny looking with his leopard shirt and fur vest..
And the first time to see a real schoolgirl ganguro/ko-gal :O
I love taking street snaps but is still too shy haha.. 

The other day I met up with some people from Sweden who are studying here in Japan.
From left-to-right: Alex, girl-from-Russia-I-forgot-name-of-(;_:), Rebecca and Fredrick.
They were all sooo nice and we had a lot of fun ♪ And soo funny, me and Rebecca figured we had a lot of things in common.. Sadly she lives in Yokohama which is a bit far away (  ゚,_ゝ゚)
We all took purikura together as well, but I don't have a scanner so can't show you now..
I was actually supposed to go to Yokohama today, but the weather is really bad this weekend.. So I'd rather go on a day with nice weather!

Oh yeah, and I bought this cool backpack in harajuku yesterday XD
It even has a tail!! Haha I was in a looong dilemma about which color I should choose. You could get it in regular yellow leopard, grey and then this white&pink. Lastly I chose the pink one ♥ I wanted a backpack for a looong time since it's practical. And I noticed that backpacks are really popular in Japan compared to regular cross bags, women purses and so on. 
Aaaand lastly, I dyed my hair XD
I bought the Palty mousse package in Milk Tea.
But got bored of my even haircolor style so i bought a brown haircolor and made some strokes in my hair ( ̄▽ ̄) ↓↓↓
I'll take better pictures when i actually style my hair >3> It's kinda the opposite of what I had once now that I look at it.. Old pictures with brown hair and blond stripe
↓↓↓↓↓
Hmmmmm.... Now when I look at the right picture... I kinda miss my bangs!! Oh well.. let's see.. I'm sure I'll cut them sometime next week and then regret it XD like always..

Ok ok enough rambling already!! 

Bye!
P.s. Do you like the new header??? Hmmm... I'm not really sure myself!!

Gatsby Aqua Silver

An update to show you the outcome of my hair. And I'll review the dye Gatsby Aqua Silver that I used (∩_∩)

I was plain stupid and only bought one package since I thought it was enough for my hair as it usually is. Though this was already for men, so I kinda wondered if they purposely would put less product in as most men have shorter hair.. So of course in the middle of dying I realized I did NOT have enough even though I desperately tried to squeeze out the last drop of product and convince myself that there was enough.. /fail
This is how the package looks like. My hair, as you might have seen from last post, was something between the middle orange and the yellow. And a very little part was white from previous bleaching, and according to the color chart, white would turn a bit violet. 
The dye changes color really fast after putting it into your hair. I left it for approximately 20-30 min as it said on the product and washed it out. No conditioner followed, but it didn't seem dry. I used my own color conditioner though.

Result?

Pretty uneven!! But that was due to my own stupidity, so I don't blame the product XD It kinda changes color in different lightning. Sometimes it looks more greyish while it other times just turn plain LIGHT ASH BROWN like the picture to the right. Oh and you might have noticed the small streaks of violet in the right picture.. It's not THAT violet, but has a bit of violet reflexion, while it's actually just silver.. but in combination with the ash brown.. it just looks weird (。_゜)

But I'm not THAT sad at all! I like it better than the yellow, far more! I really like the color in some of the stripes where it's actually plain GREY. But just annoyed I didn't buy two packages.. However, somehow my old light ash brown extensions matches now haha! 
But I admit it's far from perfect.. And the worst part is, that the yellowness still shines through.. a lot.. which is why I bought THIS → SILVER SHAMPOO! please work
It won't arrive before next week though so I have to be patient..

Fun fact: I look more tanned now XD And if I don't look ganguro, I will definitely do after my one week beach vacation in Turkey in two weeks time ~(=^・・^)
I'm not giving up on EVEN grey hair though! But I'll wait till I go to Japan though, since it's easier and cheaper to get the product there ( ´∀`)

Ok that was it! Btw, your hair doesn't smell like DYED HAIR after using it like other hair dyes tend to do (●>v<●)
