My favourite winter lipstick

Winter is almost all over but I decided to share what has been my favourite winter shade of lipstick.  For my Birthday I asked JP for MAC's Velvet Teddy without even seeing it in person, but there was just something about it that made me want it (probably the name had a lot to do with it).

MAC describes Velvet Teddy as a deep toned beige that has a matte finish. When I first saw this in person I was a little scared of the colour. I have a very light skin tone (because I stay out the sun as much as possible) so I was worried that it would seriously wash me out. I feel that it is a very wearable shade, despite it's dark appearance in the bullet.

The lipstick lasts well and although it is a matte finish, it isn't drying on my lips.  It lasts well for a normal lipstick and it is easy to do touch ups with throughout the day. With some matte lipsticks the product goes cakey after a while, especially when doing some touch ups but not with this one. It is so wearable and goes with so many different makeup looks.  I love this lipstick.

The lipstick retails for R220 at Mac counters.
