So - we've all heard of supposed 'dupes' when it comes to MAC lipliner. Over the past few months I've built up a small collection of both MAC and NYX liners, so I thought I'd do some swatches for you and prove once and for all that there are no dupes. Close, but no cigars. MAC Prep & Prime vs Rimmel Stay Matte Primer Do you love MAC’s primer? You can get the same. NYX Pale Pink Lip Pencil. Trust NYX to always bring you great dupes for popular but expensive.
Nyx Lip Butter Gloss

Some websites reported that Penneys stocked ‘Golden Rose: no 74′ which is nearly the exact same shade as ‘Velvet Teddy’. Penneys told us that the brand Golden Rose isn’t part of their ‘P.S.’ range.
Nyx Lip Liner Dupe For Mac Soar
Heartbroken.
Never fear though as we have a list of other dupes that are available around the place if you need a cheaper version of ‘Velvet Teddy’ because let’s face it, make up is expensive and sometimes dupes are just better for all involved.
