The £2 lipstick that's a dupe for MAC Velvet Teddy

From Cosmopolitan

Scrolling through Twitter isn't one of my most productive of hobbies, but every now and then my persistent scrolling pays off and I'm not talking about a lol-worthy Eric Turtle Tweet.

Becca McGonigle has been crowned our Twitter user of the week/month/possible year* after she not only discovered a dupe for MAC's infamous Velvet Teddy lipstick, but also took to Twitter to share it with the rest of us.

Now, I assume we're all familiar with Velvet Teddy? The matte lipstick that is the perfect Kylie Jenner shade of 'I haven't had lip fillers, it's just lip liner'. It's just the best MLBB (my lips but better) colour if you ask me, but at £17.50 it's a pretty expensive every day colour.

So when Becca shared that she found a £2 Velvet Teddy dupe in Primark of all places, you know she started racking up those likes.

Golden Rose is a makeup brand stocked in Primark and not only does Becca say their £2 lipstick in #74 is an almost exact shade match, but she also found it to last longer than Velvet Teddy.

Now while I'm never going to part with my beloved VT (she's an ICON), if you do wear Velvet Teddy on a daily basis and want to save yourself a few quid, better get yourself down to Primark asap.

Not all heroes wear capes Becca.
