PEPPERMINT PATTIE DUPE

How's everyone? So still haven't got new foundation yet -- trying to save money because I don't need it just yet -- but I'm thinking of getting the studio sculpt from mac. Anyone tried it? How do you like it and how's the coverage? Tell me in the comments pleaseeee :)

I bring you something beauty related todayyy... I feel like such a slacker! I shipped out the packages to everyone who ordered from my sale that live in the states. I'm sending out the international ones on tuesday or wednesday so hang in tight :)

I'm one of the lucky ones that got MAC Peppermint Pattie Nail Lacquer :) It's funny because I went to see it and I didn't get it because I was like "I have too much nail polish". Well my soon to be sister in law went looking for a birthday present for me at the mall with her younger sister and the younger one goes "she already has all this hello kitty stuff" because HK just released :D So she ends up buying me peppermint pattie & seasonal peach. Who knew peppermint pattie would be such a big hit?

LEFT TO RIGHT: OPI NAIL LACQUER in Hey! Get in Lime, MAC NAIL LACQUER in Peppermint Pattie, CHINA GLAZE in FOR AUDREY

A lot of people says For Audrey and peppermint pattie looked the same but they're no where close! For Audrey is too much of a blueish color. Hey! Get in Lime looks pretty close too, but when you look CLOSE (as in more than two feet) it's too light and a teensy bit too green. As I compared it I was thinking what color can I add to make it bluer? So I decided to mix together the OPI and CHINA GLAZE to create this limited edition color :D The measurements are exactly half & half.

Here's an example. Can you tell which is which?? *don't click it to enlarge* my fingers are SUPER dry LOL! I didn't think about it until after I looked at the picture on the computer. I painted my nails pink after I did this :) BUT I HATE the OPI pro wide brush thing. I can't do it neat at all lol! I had to go back in with a cosmetic q-tip and take the pointy end and clean it up :(

Left nail is For Audrey mixed with Hey! Get in Lime. Center nail is Peppermint Pattie. Right nail is Hey! Get in Lime. I forgot to do a swatch of For Audrey alone but everyone knows what that looks like right? (Is it hard to get that color where you live? We're like OVERSTOCKED or something in Texas, it's never sold out!)

Hopefully someone goes to try it out :) It's pretty easy to do. I just put a big drop of For Audrey on my nail and then went in with Hey! Get in Lime on the brush like normal and kinda mixed it up on my nail and then spread it everywhere. I guess you could always poor it into each other but that's kinda ghetto?? Well my way is kinda ghetto too LOL xD

I'm going to have to conjure up all my makeup that I've both in the past two months and do a collective haul post :) eeekk.. SOUNDS SCARY! xD

Tomorrow I start sleeping at my sister's house again to watch the boy/dog JACK!... LOL! He's so adorable though. I'm going to have to get a video of him doing all his crazy stunts :)

  16. i think the studio sculpt is good if your skin is oily. i have dry skin and for some reason it looked a lot more dry.
