Mini Verse Make-It

[BlackCurtains]

Ooh, I'll have to check Walmart.com and compare with Amazon. I want those tanks!

I bought a few of the cafe series 2 (I've yet to assemble them), and 4 out of 5 have the top pamphlet. Only one had the bottom pamphlet showing all items. I thought it was weird that some were greyed out, but I assumed they come in those bigger sets. But now I don't think they do... Like they're just trying to make it a mystery of what you can collect...

Today I made a chocolate shake, creamsicle float, petit fours, and churros!

Ahh! So cute!

The "chocolate" resin wasn't opaque enough (or thick enough?) to look like chocolate dipped strawberries which is a bummer. It looks more like they're sitting in chocolate puddles. I might have to add some paint.
However, I did get the hotdog set!

so inspiring and fun!

I bought four of the Lifestyle ones. I got two different candles and two different plants. No tanks!

I'll put them together later and take pics

[BlackCurtains]

Hmm. Okay. These are my first Mini make-its so I'm not sure on the usual quality. Maybe the Florida heat messed up the resin. Anyway. The plants are cute but I didn't care for the candles. For one thing, the wicks which are plastic, were all crooked and I couldn't fix them. The lavender candle resin was fine and they came with scented sprinkles which... do not smell anything like lavender The rose candle resin was so hard to get out of the bottle I had to cut it open and scoop the resin out with a little spoon. There was too much resin for the lavender ones but not enough for the rose ones. The rose glows in the dark.

The plants were a bit messy. I think the potting soil is kinetic sand? Or maybe very fine plastic pieces. The rocks are plastic too. My cactuses didn't want to stand up but after I "planted" them they were fine.

Here are some pics.

I bought four more, hoping to get a fish tank. At least, I hope I don't get doubles.

edit: Aw, I'm so bummed out The newest four had three doubles! And I got another plant. No fish

Sorry you didn't get a fish tank yet BC.  I'm also sorry you got so many doubles.  I haven't tried doing the lifestyle ones yet, but I had trouble with the resin on one of the food ones I did.  I finally poked a hole in the top of the bottle and used it that way.  I hope you get the fish tank.

I bought another four, this time from Walmart. The others I got from Amazon. The Walmart ones needed to be shipped and won't be here until the 14th. I'm hoping since it's different stock I'll get four new ones.

I'd like to trade my doubles if anyone is interested. I have the lavender and rose candles and the two cactus.

I love the glow-y candles and succulent!

I saw the lifestyle line ONCE, and when I returned they were sold out. I have been unable to find them since. However, I’m going to a different part of town later this week, so I’ll keep my eyes peeled. 

[BlackCurtains]

Ugh! My four from Walmart came today and I got two doubles! Still no fish tanks! I got a new candle and cactus.

I'm not buying anymore blind. I'd rather pay a little more each and get the ones I want. There are sellers on etsy who have them.

[shockponie]

I found the lifestyle ones at Target last night. Picked up two and got rose candles and a cactus. Seems like fish/turtles are hard to come by!

[BlackCurtains]

Here are the two from Walmart, the candles and cactus. The cat and other succulent were an Amazon one.

I've decided I don't like the candles. And this last cactus is kind of plain and didn't want to stand up even after putting in the soil. I love the succulents though. Wish I had gotten the ones with the terrariums.

[BlackCurtains]

Welp. Just discovered something bad about the plants with the loose stones. If you knock them over those tiny plastic stones go everywhere! I am not looking forward to picking them all up. I think I'll mix them with glue before I put them back so it doesn't happen again. I need a better place to put them.
