riku eating pocky!

:) Hello everyone!

If you don't have me on facebook, then you won't know that my little baby , Riku, has a favorite food! Strawberry Pocky~!

It took me a while but I managed to finally upload a video and throw in some silly editing. I'm not great with videos but I think it's still pretty entertaining :p

So, Riku loves to eat pocky the same way I do, all the way to the plain part and just toss the plain end away. Nobody believed me on facebook so I caught it on film! muahahaha!

So anyway, in regards to my upcoming 12 episodes, which consists of my tips, humorous and serious, I've already planned out what each will be about and how I want it to be... problem is I might have to keep holding off on actually creating them because of.. a lot of conflicting things being thrown in my life right now. SIGH. Anyways..

I've been sick lately, with 1 midterm on fri and one on monday, then a job processing/orientation sometime next week as well. I was supposed to go to jury duty this morning but this and that happened.. so chances are it'll be something I'll worry about again next week or in the next few weeks. OI VEY. I laid down today because I felt nauseous/light headed and ended up KO-ing amazingly for 10 hours! WHAT? YES. LOL.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know what's coming up/going on, briefly and vaguely ;) mustn't ruin any surprises now.

I think since I have so many dupes lined up to show/care/release, I'll condense it into one big blog post OR a video, perhaps as one of the 12 episode series. I am capping my episodes at 12, since I'm not sure if anyone will actually watch or like them, which is unusual since most vid bloggers just keep producing vids. If I manage to get a few subscribers from "season 1", I will come out with a "season 2" HAHAHAHA! Plus it sounds cool. A "Kay-one" and a "Kay-two"... Kay-tu? Kaytu. I'm a pokemon now!

I have some reviews lined up as well, clearly since my last review, I've tried a handful of new products, both makeup-wise and skincare! I will say, look forward to the introduction of a few HG status products, along with some blacklisted GTFO products.

I'm aware my followers might have abandoned me due to my usually long and sporadic hiatus', but I guarantee those who still lurk around here are in for a treat once I begin launching and crossing things off my to-do list.

And now.. without further ad-do, my self edited video of my darling hammie, Riku!

*drum roll please!*

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?
