I finally got my hands on the much coveted Velvet Teddy. If you have been living under a rock the past couple of months and are unaware of the hype surrounding this lipstick - basically it apparently Kylie Jenner's go-to lipstick and has been sold out everywhere for the past 6+ months. Obviously with it being sold out just made me want it all the more and I literally became obsessed with getting my hands on it. It became a ritual to check the Brown Thomas website, forever asking the sales assistants in store and looking for dupes online. I even asked my Auntie to pick it up while she was in New York for me and it was even sold out there! So I thought I was seeing things when I randomly checked it one evening and it was in stock! I had it bought before I knew what was going on. I was afraid it was an error on the website so had to check out as quick as possible before it had a chance to correct itself!
When it arrived a couple of days later I was almost afraid to use it. I had spent so long trying to get it, it just felt wrong to use it. I got over that feeling pretty quickly and got to the testing of this. First off I have been using lip-liners with it, a mixture of either Whirl or Soar depending on what look I'm going for. Whirl is almost the exact match for Velvet Teddy and Soar is a little more pink toned. Velvet Teddy is a matte finish and I think it is similar to Ruby Woo, and when I say that I mean that it has the same very dry texture to it. It is a true matte lipstick and can be a tad drying so a good lip-balm is needed with this ladies!
The colour is a major 90's throwback. It is a very dark nude brown shade that I really think would suit almost any skin-tone. It also is the kind of lipstick that you can wear on an everyday basis but would look good on a night out or a more dressed up event too! It is a really nice shade and something that fits in well to my collection. If you are on the hunt for a dupe the closest I have found is a Wet n Wild lipstick in "Bare it All", the only difference is that it is not as matte so if you suffer from dry lips it might be a better option for you and it is also alot easier to get hold of!
Bottom- "Wet n Wild Bare it All"
