BADASS DUPE FOR BOYBAIT, NOT SAME AS HOLLYANNAEREE!!

HELLO WORLD

I know I said I'd be around more but ehh, shit happens. LOL

I've actually been collecting ideas for a 12 episode "season" of me! Starring, ME! hahahaha! Ok, honestly I'm mad lazy and typing everything is just so tedious! Would rather edit a video!

Now, my all time favorite nude lipgloss is slip among different undertones. Why? Because I'm such a gloss-a-holic that I'm able to have favorites among favorites! A nude on me might not be a nude on you. If you have pink undertones, a nude lippie with pink undertones wouldn't show up quite as well on my lips, as it'd really appear a light pink. SO...

my favorite pink undertone gloss is the oh so milky yummy and gorgeous TURKISH DELIGHT by NARS.
my favorite more peach undertone gloss is the oh so sexy BOY BAIT by MAC.

Lucky I snatched 4 tubes of boy bait when it was first released with Shy Girl ls, paired together they are my ULTIMATE FAVORITE peach nude lip combo.

Now, must give you some info. I'm always on the hunt for turkish delight dupe. ALWAYS. It's so expensive and I go thru a tube so damn fast, why WOULDN'T I look for one?! No, I don't want to buy from blogsales, -_- you can't sanitize glosses and the ones that are new SEEM cheap but add on shipping and paypal fees, you pay JUST as much, if not more! =X HELLS NO! So when I originally bought this dupe, it was for Turkish Delight, which it could ALSO be a dupe for but it's just not the same milky pink tone. I was going to return it when I realized it looked strangely familiar! :D TADAAAAAA dupe of boy bait was born.

Now, I know everyone and their momma's probably seen Hollyannaeree's post/video about finding a dupe for boy bait as well. The color in the video seemed pretty damn convincing so I went out to buy too! Can't hurt as it was under $2. Now, you all know I'm very into dupes, which means I am VERY critical. I go through dupe lists online, picking out what I think really are close to the real item (as I have the resources, and massive collection, to do so) since I find that many who propose the dupes don't have the actual items to compare them to. Keeping that in mind, I also look at this item very harshly. Now, it's not a bad item. I don't really care for the super balmy-waxy feel, which thank goodness is NOT sticky. In the tin it is pretty close to the color of boybait, but when swatched or put on the lips, it actually is a waxy-white pink, which is not at all close to the peach tone of boy bait. Now, the reason I say it could ALSO be considered a dupe for boybait is that it does a good job of toning down pigmented lips with the waxy-white pink hue, which creates the illusion of a shade close to boybait, a nude.

waxy-white pink + pigmented lips = nuded out, naturally near boybait but not (if you get what I mean)

For those who have pink undertones in your lips, this will definitely not turn out to look like boy bait. It'd actually be pretty close to Turkish Delight, but still not that milky sorbet pink, just a waxy-white pink, which isn't bad really, pretty comparable to the other dupes for T.D. that I've seen/tried so far!

Now, onto MY dupe. Costs $5, can be found in MANY locations! Drum roll please?
