I am obsessed with lipsticks and lip liners, my collection is never ending. I even find it difficult to pop to the shops without buying at least one or the other, usually both! Today’s post consists of swatches and reviews of my current everyday lipstick and liner routine.

MAC Velvet Teddy Dupes Here are our dupes for MAC Velvet Teddy, which is a moderately warm-toned, light brown with a matte finish. It is a permanent lipstick that retails for $20.00 and contains 0.1 oz. Velvet Matte Lip Pencil 29 Shades $27.00 Precision Lip Liner Porquerolles $24.00 Precision Lip Liner Mariachi $24.00 Precision Lip Liner Cap-d'Ail $24.00. Precision Lip Liner Nasty Girl $24.00 Precision Lip Liner Halong Bay $24.00 Precision Lip Liner Gordes $24.00 BE IN THE NARS.

The lipstick and lip liner that I am using on a daily basis at the moment are two very popular and raved about products; MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick and MAC Soar lip liner. I absolutely adore Soar and Velvet Teddy paired together as I prefer pink nudes as opposed to more beige nudes.

MAC Soar Lip Liner

If you’re into your pink lipsticks I 100% recommend you purchase MAC’s Soar Lip Liner. It is one of those lip liners which can be paired with an endless amount of lipsticks. Even if the lipstick is a slightly different shade or tone of pink I have found that Soar blends magically with the colour. Similarly to the pairing in this post – Soar is more pink than Velvet Teddy, which has both brown and pink undertones, however they look incredible together. Soar is my go to lip liner, which you can probably tell my how small it is getting due to me using it a lot.

MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick

Let me begin by saying Velvet Teddy is probably the most talked about lipstick of the past year at least. However who can blame everyone, it really is as good as everyone says it is. It achieves that perfect nude lip colour that we all desire. To top it all off it is a matte finish, which I personally prefer as it stays on longer and I hate my lips feeling sticky.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post today. What are your favourite lipstick and lip liner combo’s?

THE INTERNET WAS lit up earlier this week when Twitter user Becca McGonigle found a handy dupe for Mac’s much sough after ‘Velvet Teddy’.

Any velvet teddy wearers, ‘golden rose’ lipsticks from primark number 74 is actual the exact same n lasts longer n is like £2 get involved rt x

Some websites reported that Penneys stocked ‘Golden Rose: no 74′ which is nearly the exact same shade as ‘Velvet Teddy’. Penneys told us that the brand Golden Rose isn’t part of their ‘P.S.’ range.

Heartbroken.

Never fear though as we have a list of other dupes that are available around the place if you need a cheaper version of ‘Velvet Teddy’ because let’s face it, make up is expensive and sometimes dupes are just better for all involved.
