She muttered some MAC colour, and I couldn’t quite work out what she said. I ran out to her (as you do) and asked what lipstick she used.

In December, I had a dream that I was in Spain (random) and I spotted Kylie Jenner on the street. Every single MAC counter or shop, I visited, I’d ask with aspirated breath ‘ do you have Velvet Teddy lipstick?’ To always be returned with a ‘no sorry, we’ve been sold out for months.’ And that my friends is the Kylie Jenner effect. Word on the street was that she uses MAC Velvet Teddy, and as soon as this information was released, the lipstick sold out. We’ve all gone a bit crazy for the 90’s style nude lip colour and well it’s not just because of KJ obviously, but she sure has helped. Anyways, Kylie is causing a bit of a stir because of those lips. I was wearing very orange fake tan, pale Barry M lipstick and denim skirts when I was 17, not looking like how she does. I have made no secret of my obsession with Kylie Jenner. Thank your lucky stars that I didn’t include a picture of me doing a ‘Kylie’ pose.

I am so glad I took a chance with Velvet Teddy. Here, have a nicer- but bad quality- phone selfie. Although it's more of an autumn/ winter look, I know it's going to carry me through the spring and summer too. The second I put it on, I was convinced! It's a gorgeous deep shade which makes my lips look cashmere-soft, despite the dry finish, and perfectly recreates that nostalgic, casual 90s look.Īnother bonus is just how versatile Velvet Teddy is subtle enough to wear to work but also gorgeous in the evening.

As I'm all about pinks and super feminine shades usually, I wasn't sure whether this brown would suit me. What I wasn't convinced on was the colour. As you'd expect, this finish makes the lipstick really long-lasting, although it's not as difficult to take off as, say, Candy Yum Yum. Yes, they're super drying but I love the velvety texture they give and the colour is completely opaque. Velvet Teddy is, as I said, one of MAC's matte lipstick which are my absolute favourites. I get overly emotional when I talk about make up, alright? *OK, not the greatest decision I've ever made. That might be the greatest decision I've ever made.* When Helen sold a bunch of MAC lipsticks- including Velvet Teddy- in a blog sale, I decided I'd give it a go. Yes, it was a matte and matte lipsticks are my jam, but I've always been more of a pink lip girl. When everybody was going crazy over Velvet Teddy, I wasn't that fussed.
