DUPE ALERT!!! Velvet Teddy Vs Nude Perfection

-
Velvet Teddy on the right, Nude Perfection on the left.
Everyone who is a beauty lover have always been on the search for dupes for the M.A.C lipsticks. They are a staple in everyones collection beauty lover or not, and they are at a higher price £15.50 here in the Uk, however would it be better if there was a high street alternative? I have been using the Maybelline Colour Drama Velvet Lip Pencil in Nude Perfection for a while now and I have been in love with it! I even considered buying it in bulk since I thought they wouldn't last long on the shelves and I was right, they have been flying. Looking at the photo you can see that mine is very well loved. Before this pencil I never wore any nude hippies because I believed that i was too pale and that brighter shades would look better however this is a whole new ball park for me, and I have to say that I'm ok with change.

 Velvet Teddy has been said to be one of Kylie Jenner's favorite lipsticks to pull off her signature 90's lip that is all the range these days. This was partly why I got it not going to lie but I though "hey if she can pull it off I might give it a go." and I really like it!! 
Side by Side.
 I didn't make the connection between these two for a while. I don't really know why but when I wanted a nude I never really went for Velvet teddy as I thought it might be too bold however as you can see they are exactly the same. I found this out when I used the Velvet pencil to line in my lips and I then used Velvet Teddy to fill in the lips and then I saw they were exactly the same!!!
As fas as I have tested out Velvet Teddy lasts a little longer but as it is higher end that is to be expected, however as for the look and the finish they are identical. Next time you are at your next Boots or Superdrug give the Maybelline Colour Drama Velvet Lip Pencils a try! I have also heard that they make a great dupe for the Nars Velvet Pencils also. All around great product.

Last month I didn't upload a favorites post as I didn't really have anything new that I started to love that month. It takes me a long time to decide if I truly love a product ready enough to put it into an in-depth post, unless the first time I try it and I am obsessed straight off the bat.  My first favorite is a perfect no make up make up product.  BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Tinted Cream Gel  in the shade Opal. I feel like I can wear this even if I have a few blemishes. Pop on a bit of concealer and I feel so fresh faced and look so healthy and hydrated. It doesn't cling to my dry patches and it somehow just goes over my pores making it look like I have a flawless base but it still shows my freckles. Something that most beauty addicts have is an Urban Decay Naked Palette . I have Naked 2 and Naked 3 and the Basics, but recently I have been showing some love to my first baby, Naked 2. For some reason I always go back to this when it is the summe...

Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette Review & Swatches

I am actually writing this section post even before I have received the palette. Why? Because I feel like I need to talk about the BeautyBay website and how checking out the palette went. So, on the 28th of September, the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe Collaboration Palette launched on the BeautyBay website. Jaclyn snap-chatted that the launch would happen at 9 is on the website. I was working that day and I only get 45 mins break. I checked the website 8:30 am and the palette was already on there, and I later found out it was an early access for registered members. I added it to my cart, and it wouldn't let me sign in. I, therefore, created new account thinking that I must have changed my password and forgot, but no, it wouldn't let me sign into the new one either. I was there for half an hour until the page suddenly came up as being out of stock. My heart sank, as I had been trying to check out nearly for all of my breaks, and they don't have a customer service line either so I co...

Make Up Forever Starlit Palette. Review & Swatches.

I have never tried Make Up Forever products and I found myself really keen on trying out this palette. I first saw this palette on the Trendmood Instagram page, and when you first look at it, it does look a lot like the Kat Von D Metal Matte Palette. Whilst looking through the comments I wasn't the only one who thought this, and I was very interested in purchasing as I was intrigued to see how they compare. I bought mine off the Debenhams website whilst it became on sale for a limited 24hrs, and even better was that the site had 15% off Beauty so I got the palette for £34 instead of the £40. I bought this completely based on my own opinion because there weren't any youtube reviews on it, and no blog posts either so I had no idea about the quality. When I got the palette I didn't really have any thoughts on the packaging. I thought the holographic aspect was really nice, but that was it. The mirror as far as I can tell is just a standard mirror, it's clear...
