A couple of years ago MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy was a big hit, everybody was wearing it and I remember that it was hard to get your hands on so Pinterest was covered in dupe pictures so I thought I would put one to the test.
My lips are in a decent state, I suffer with dry skin and dry lips but today was a good lip day.
I applied on my right (left in the picture) the MAC lipstick on half of my lips and on my left (right in the picture) the wet n wild lipstick. It was easier to apply the MAC, I think it's the shape of the bullet, it is neater but still both lovely colours however they are not the same. Just a quick note, I applied this at 5:30am, that is when I have to get up to go to work.
UPDATE #1 (6am): Half an hour after applying the lipstick and you can see in different lighting the differences in the shades.
UPDATE #2 (7am): Got my usual morning Starbucks and quickly took a drink, the wet n wild transfers more onto the cup the the MAC one.
UPDATE #3 (8pm): Several cups of coffee later, lunch and various conversations and I am back home. There are still a little MAC lipstick left on the lips whereas the wet n wild has completely gone.
