MAC Velvet Teddy Dupe

Who doesn't love a nude lip? I mean, it's simple and easy and goes with any look. Velvet Teddy is quite infamous for often being sold out and has been hailed as one of the MAC lipsticks used by the one and only Kylie Jenner, and who doesn't want her lips? It's a shame that she's had lip injections at such a young age, even if she is famous, but let's not go off topic...

Velvet Teddy left, Rich Truffle right

I was recently sent for review the new MeMeMe Lip Glides, one of the shades I received, 'Rich Truffle' really reminded me of MAC's Velvet Teddy, aka the only MAC lipstick I own... Don't worry I am going to get more, it's just hard not having a counter where I live, so it takes some thorough Google searching!

Anyway, I wanted to put this to the test so I swatched them both on my hand and I honestly couldn't believe how similar they were! The only difference is that Velvet Teddy is a tad lighter than Rich Truffle but when on the lips it really isn't noticeable.

Formula wise, MAC is hard to beat as you get what you pay for. But in my review of the Lip Glides, I mention how good the staying power is! So MeMeMe do give MAC a run for their money, and at half the price. One thing I do prefer about the Lip Glides is you don't need a lip pencil to help with precision... As it is a pencil! Maybe I'm just awful at applying lipstick (in fact I am) but I find I will always mess it up without my trusty lip liner.

What's your favourite MAC lipstick?
