Popteen Eye Make (54)

Awwwwe~~ I really like March’s cover.

It’s sweet but subtle compared to the past 2 where the colors have kinda been… all over the place with sparkles barfing all over it. Not that I dislike puking-ly sweet sparkles~

it’s just nice to get a break from it. And to point out that Kumicky’s on the cover would just be superfluous.

I do like how sleek her hair looks though (or wig, whatever it may be,

LOL)

I’m also glad they’re doing these PopSister inserts in each Popteen until the magazine goes monthly this spring.

That said, Ageha’s looks sweet too. Their past 2 issues have been a total turn off for me. They’ve been quite biker babe-style-like. This one harks back to why I subscribed to the magazine in the first place. I know I get March’s, I think my last issue is in April but will need to confirm that with the bookstore.

Geez, ~~Momoeri’s~~ Araki Sayaka boob-age is attempting to evacuate her dress there! Hahahahaa

Breaking Up with Ageha (35)

Oh remember Nanako’s Hair Ribbons??!! Noticed this today in February’s Ageha

FULL SCAN

I’d say “I can’t believe I missed this!” but Ageha’s thick, stiff spine has always made it a bit difficult to read in my opinion. Let alone freakin’ scan in! Which brings me to this…

This entry has been a long time coming. For a couple of months now I’ve known I wasn’t going to renew my Ageha subscription. Ageha has gotten extremely repetitive for me. It also feels they’re moving away from having an “Agejo” focus and going back to fully targeting their original audience, hostesses. That’s fine and makes sense of course. That was their main audience when I first got my subscription which I enjoyed to be honest. Then Agejo became this trend~ It feels like Agejo has been moving out of the limelight as people’s fascination with it starts to dims though.

It’s also coming from a personal preference. When I got my first issue back in 2007 I was obsessed with thick, long curls and heavy eye make! But since this past spring my tastes have waned. I’m getting back into a more casual style and lighter eyemake. Besides, I never fully loved intense black bottom liner on me. Maybe it’s my big nose, I dunno, I just never felt 100% happy with it on me. But I still like it on most models But unlike some magazines (Popteen,) Ageha rarely has any alternatives to the pitch black full bottom liner.
