MAC 'Velvet Teddy' Matte Lipstick

So, over the weekend, I went out to IOI City Mall with my sisters (like, finally). We went to a bowling battle and after that, we decided to go shopping for our essentials. By essentials I mean makeup. I managed to get a new purse and two pairs of shoes from Brands Outlet.

Aaaaand FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON VELVET TEDDY BY MAC. I managed to get this lipstick which I have been itching to get for a while. So when I reached the M.A.C store, I immediately asked for the Velvet Teddy shade and they were available! So let's hear me rant about this lippie.

 

The shade is described as a "deep-toned beige" by MAC. The colour does look different on different people for example on my lips it looks almost like a greyish-brown with a hint of pink (I don't know if that makes any sense but that's the only thing I can come up with).

The formula of Velvet Teddy is matte and it does sneak into my fine lines a little bit but it can be worn comfortably, still. The matte finish means the lipstick lasts quite a long time and yes it stays the whole day! I remember wearing it while I was out for karaoke and I had fried noodles and chicken stew for my dinner and after finished eating, I pulled out my little mirror, tell you what, IT DID NOT BUDGE. I am so happy!

I like the packaging of these lipsticks too. The simple black and silver and the secure lid are both superb! Not to mention that it looks like a bullet. Am I right? This MAC lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy costs RM78 and it is available to buy directly from the MAC store or online.

Overall, I do love Velvet Teddy. The shade is a nice subtle nude and can be worn for a minimal look or paired with a dramatic eye look. It is very versatile and such a lovely shade that is a great addition to any nude-lippie-lovers collection. I give it 9/10! Mi love it so much.

So, have you tried Velvet Teddy yet? What are your thoughts about it? Do you think it is worth the hype? Let me know in the comments! x
