Now I'm not normally one to fall for make up hypes or spend alot of money on high end brands but this is one I couldn't resist.
When it comes to make up I always go for drug store make up brands and have used them for years. because of the way I brought up I feel that if you can find a product of the same quality as an expensive one at a lower price, go for that one. I've never indulged in luxury make up products as I don't have the best skin and I don't always have the time to make a real effort with my makeup. But as I've gotten older I have been getting slightly addicted to watching beauty bloggers on YouTube and being so jealous of how flawess their skin and their makeup is because they use expensive products. So because of this and my high Christmas pay I decided to treat myself to my first ever MAC product.
I had seen the hype for the lipstick Velvet Teddy which is a dark nude shade in a matte finish, I have been struggling to find a lipstick which suits my skin tone and for someone who doesn't wear alot of lipstick and prefers a more natural make up look I decided to risk it and spend £15.50 on a lipstick that I have never tried before.
I received my lipstick this morning and I really liked the packaging it was simple yet effective and easy. When I saw the colour I was a little bit worried that the colour wouldn't be obvious on my lips but when I tried it, it applied so well and it looked so good! I was so impressed with how easy it was to approach this without a brushes I am normally terrible at applying lipstick, it is also really nice when you build up the layers. Because it is in a matte finish I was wortied that it would dry my lips out, I get really cracked lips in the winter and I felt that the lipstick excentuated the cracks in my lips alot so I would probably wear the shade after moisturising my lips. I know I was worried about the colour but it just looked so nice on my lips and really complimented my skintone. It is a lovely browny- nude with a warm undertone which would literally look good with anything you wear or any kind of make-up look you do. Overall I am very happy with the product and I think i made a very good choice in shade, no wonder it is sold out worldwide! But once it comes back in stock I urge anyone who has never bought a mac product or is looking for a nice dark nude lipstick to go for this one.
