For months now everyone has been going insane for the seventeen-year-old, Kylie Jenner. Her hair, style, nails, but most importantly…her choice in lip color.
She has been known for wearing a darker-mauve ish nude that
resembles classic 90’s style.
Many beauty bloggers and YouTubers have put videos and
tutorials out there on how to get Kylie’s signature look (myself included). I’ve
also read multiple places that her makeup artist uses MAC Cosmetics Whirl
lipliner to achieve that look. I found that my favorite lipstick to match up
with Whirl to get (what I think is a
pretty close match up) Kylie’s look is the lipstick in Velvet Teddy by
MAC as well.
But when I was grocery shopping the other day, I decided to
take a little pit-stop down the cosmetics isle (and who doesn’t). I noticed
that there was a new display of Wet N’ Wild products that really caught my
attention. The first thing that caught my eye was that basically the whole
display was already bought already, so my first thought is that this stuff HAS
to be good.
The second thing that I noticed was that right there on the
display it said NEW Matte Lipsticks! I’ve loved the original Wet N’ Wild lipsticks
for years and some new colors was a refreshing surprise. However, there was
only one option left.
At first I was super bummed out, being that these lipsticks
are only $1.99 I could get 5 for the price of any other lipstick at the store.
But, I grabbed the one lonely lipstick anyway. When I actually looked at saw
what the color was my jaw practically hit the floor. From the packaging it
looked almost identical to my loved Velvet Teddy lipstick that I wear ALL THE
TIME to get that perfect Kylie Jenner lip!
I could not wait to get back to my apartment and see if it
really was a dupe for the $16 tube of lipstick from MAC.

I was (somewhat) right! I would not say that it is a 100%
dupe for Velvet Teddy because when swatched on the hand, Velvet Teddy is still
a bit (but not much) deeper and the Wet N’ Wild lipstick in Sweet Cream is a bit more pinky.
But when you put them on the lips they are identical.
When paired with the Whirl lipliner from MAC this would look identical to what miss Kylie wears herself. It is a great and affordable option for someone wanting to try this look but not splurge.
Would you try this lipstick? Are you loving the Kylie Jenner trend or over it?
