So there we have it, I now feel pretty happy with my KJ nude lipstick collection. One that comes to mind is Soap & Glory’s Supernude which I already have in my collection, but being the KJ enthusiast that I am, and then after my dream, I decided I needed Velvet Teddy in my life. I would say, you probably don’t need this lipstick in your collection, as there are many similar nudes out there. To get the Jenner look, obviously paired with killer contouring and lots of lashes. I usually line my lips first with a nude lipliner such as Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk or Rimmel’s East End Snob and then fill in Velvet Teddy. It may be a little dark on paler skin tones, I prefer it on me when I’m more tanned rather than my pale days. It’s great for winter, as it doesn’t have any peachy tones in it. It lasts pretty well on the lips thanks to the matte finish, and is really the perfect nude lipstick. This lipstick holds the definition of ‘your lips but better’. So Velvet Teddy is pink toned nude matte lipstick with a slight brown hint to it. All I’m saying is the other day I dreamt I was at a party with One Direction, a telling of times to come? I hope so. I mean am I mystic meg or what? Does this mean, all my dreams will come true? Who knows. Low and behold, it was back in stock on the MAC website. When I woke up, I first of all thought ‘what a bloody strange dream Corrie, you need to get out more’ and then I had this hankering to see if Velvet Teddy was in stock. I didn’t want to seem rude so I did that British thing of saying ‘oh cool really.’ I then ran to MAC to search through all the lipsticks to try and find the one that sounded the nearest to her mumblings. She muttered some MAC colour, and I couldn’t quite work out what she said. I ran out to her (as you do) and asked what lipstick she used. In December, I had a dream that I was in Spain (random) and I spotted Kylie Jenner on the street. Every single MAC counter or shop, I visited, I’d ask with aspirated breath ‘ do you have Velvet Teddy lipstick?’ To always be returned with a ‘no sorry, we’ve been sold out for months.’ And that my friends is the Kylie Jenner effect. Word on the street was that she uses MAC Velvet Teddy, and as soon as this information was released, the lipstick sold out. We’ve all gone a bit crazy for the 90’s style nude lip colour and well it’s not just because of KJ obviously, but she sure has helped. Anyways, Kylie is causing a bit of a stir because of those lips.

I was wearing very orange fake tan, pale Barry M lipstick and denim skirts when I was 17, not looking like how she does. I have made no secret of my obsession with Kylie Jenner.

Thank your lucky stars that I didn’t include a picture of me doing a ‘Kylie’ pose.
