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?

HELLO WORLD!

:) This isn't really an entry.. but since Sarah (motosays) keeps telling me to update.. HERE IT IS! LOLS! hmm.. these past few weeks have been a whirlwind. On the plus side.. as the queen of dupes (according to sarah lols) I have more dupes, which I WILL post up swatches and details about later on when I have more time. I'm thinking of getting a new camera since mine is.. well I wouldn't say it's broken because it still takes pictures.. but something is just very off about it. Like.. pictures have more of a "blue" or like... "cool" wash over them? I've tried playing around with the settings but nothing works! My lil sis has the same camera and when both are placed on default settings.. and we take pictures of the exact same thing in the exact same setting and in the exact same time.. hers is more noticeably colorful! I've never dropped it.. but maybe moisture might have gotten into from somewhere.. :( sigh. It took me so long to stick on my gel cherry blossom petals individually by hand.. *cries* my pretty camera is going to waste!!

Ok so anyway. This is just a list of what's to come (will provide swatches/product details later) and names of the dupes!!

*drum roll please.....*

MAC SHADESTICK in LEMON CHIFFON!!

I love this shadestick to DEATH, especially on the inner corner of my lower lash line. Now.. this was from their temporary collection and is no longer available, BUT! A few days ago I stumbled onto an EXACT DUPLICATE, albeit only 1/2 it's size BUT if you never got a chance to purchase it, it's a nice alternative AND it stays on longer! MAC'S regular shadestick wears off a little easier than I would like!

MAYBELLINE EYE EXPRESS CREAM SHADOW STICK in OH MY MERINGUE ($7)

NARS BRONZER in LAGUNA!!

The ever so popular bronzer that everyone loves. Personally, I have a small beef with it because I am so fair skined.. the tiniest undertones of any face product REALLY shows up. While Laguna is one of the less orange bronzers out there, it is STILL a tad too orange for me. That's why when I came across this dupe, I was THRILLED because even tho it's almost SPOT ON, it's noticeably less orange! In fact, I'd say this is BETTER than Laguna, and even more pigmented, I actually have to use this with a really light hand to keep from looking like a baked potato

L'OREAL H.I.P. BRONZER in BLESSED ($8.99)

NARS LIPGLOSS in TURKISH DELIGHT!!

Ok so I was looking for Neutrogena Lipgloss in Groove since I heard that was a perfect dupe but it seems that CVS and Walgreens have stopped carrying those old types of lipglosses anymore and are replacing them with this new kind, which in my opinion has no colors close to Turkish Delight! So I was just browsing along and found this. It's a little more sheer than Nars LGs, but the color is pretty close. I'm still on the hunt for a better dupe but this is pretty close! AH. I also found a lipstick that looks just like how Turkish Delight looks on my lips! But I'll save that for another day. I still have ULTA LG in Baby, VS LG in.. i forgot the color.. and the Neutrogena gloss in groove to find and try as I've heard those are pretty close dupes as well, BUT FOR NOW, this one will be my answer.

L'OREAL BARE NATURALE GENTLE LIP CONDITIONER in 105 SOFT PETAL ($9)

hmm.. I can't remember what else I wanted to put.. I've discovered a few new HG items for my own daily use as well.. but that'll be for another post naturally. Basically a new pen eye liner, new neutral palette, new concealer (OMG.. HEAVEN. PURE HEAVEN. SO SMOOTH, NOT DRYING, BLENDS PERFECTLY, SUCH COMPACT PACKAGING TOO)

BY THE WAY.. I was really excited when I bought the new Maybelline eye studio palettes.. but they kind of disappoint me. I'll say why next time~!

*blows kiss*

toots!
