Review - Mac lipsticks (Velvet Teddy and Patisserie) + DUPES

And so it begins.. the Mac lipstick obsession. In this photo is Velvet Teddy and Patisserie. Two Mac lipsticks I have never owned before but have wanted to try for a very long time.

Mac Velvet Teddy became very popular when it was rumoured that it was Kylie Jenner's lipstick of choice. It had sold out in every Mac shop I went into for a few weeks but finally, I have it! This lipstick is a pinky nude colour and is in Mac's matte range. I am very pale and I definitely think this would look better on darker skin tones as it is a slightly dark nude for me, however I still like it! It has the gorgeous formula as most Mac lipsticks have and I honestly love most of the collections, the only thing I believe you have to get right is the colour. Unfortunately though, I do prefer my MUA lipliner in Caramel Nougat for an all over colour and it is at a fraction of the price of a Mac lipstick at only £1. Another great alternative which I love and has just as much staying power as a Mac lipstick is Maybelline Colour Drama Velvet Lip Pencil in the colour Nude Perfection.

Mac Patisserie is my firm favourite out of the two. When I wear dewy foundations, I feel as though it does not look 'dewy' enough on my skin and that actually, my skin goes a bit matte after a while so wearing a matte lipstick sometimes looks a bit over the top with my matte face. However, this lipstick is from Mac's lustre range and has gorgeous flecks of gold shimmer which really illuminates my face and takes away from my dry patches as it really is the focus point. Even with a small amount of BB cream and some mascara, this lipstick can make you feel as though you have put the effort into your make up and really looks flawless on all skin tones. When I went into the MAC store, the woman behind the counter was actually wearing it but I had already bought the lipstick and didn't know at the time. I walked away and had to come back to the shop to ask her what she was wearing on her lips and it turned out to be patisserie, it was beautiful and a good choice on my behalf. Rimmel's Airy Fairy is very similar to this lipstick but can leave my lips a bit dry so I need to apply a lip balm over the top, however, you do get more product at a fraction of the price.

Patisserie is definitely my go to lipstick if I'm looking for that extra something but I still think I will be sticking to my MUA and Maybelline loves that were listed above and also my Bare Minerals Moxie lipgloss in Spark Plug for my everyday lip colour.

I really need that every day MAC lip colour that suits me.. I just haven't found it yet!
