We are all in that trap of wanting Kylie Jenner lips right now - don't lie - I know you are. I mean, they are gorge. Several brands are bringing out a myriad of versions, all with their special twists on the trend, so what better time to put two to the test.
I think it's fairly obvious just from the swatch picture just how insanely similar these two products are in terms of shade; I literally cannot tell the difference. Just to prove how identical these are on the lips, I wore each lipstick on half of my lips, and this was how it looked. I think I could wear this out and no one would tell I was wearing two; there is seriously no need to spend £15 on Mac when Maybelline is only £5! Better save those pennies.
Left side = Maybelline
Right side = MAC
The only noticable difference between these is, of course, the finish. As advertised, the Mac is matte lip and this is very much true to the name, but I personally feel the Maybelline gives much more of a glossy finish, quite similar to that of the 'cremesheen' Mac lippies. So I guess if you're set on having a matte finish, then I would opt for Velvet Teddy, but otherwise these two are proven identical! I have also worn both of these for a day and in my opinion they had fairly similar qualities in terms of lasting power, too.
What's your favourite Mac or drugstore lippy? Would love to find some new ones to try out!
I'm pretty sure these are basically twins or identical ones! This is such a great dupe, I'm going to have to get my hands on this Maybelline one!

DeleteIt looks like a really good dupe :-) I do love MAC for nude colours, Patisserie is my favourite. It's super pretty as an everyday colour!

I have heard great things about Patisserie and I for sure think that it is my next MAC purchase! It's beautiful x
DeleteThese two look identical! And I love the Maybelline crayons, they're great quality and definitely not drying like matte lipsticks can be. x

Definitely, they're great! Love them x
DeleteWet n Wild's Bare it All is also pretty similar and it has a great formula in my opinion, not as drying as the MAC one. I have a comparison post up on my blog too! It's always great discovering cheaper alternatives to higher priced products though :)

DeleteThese really are incredibly similar! As you say, the Maybelline swatch is glossier but other than that they're pretty much identical! Will have to check the Maybelline one out. x

You should, you really don't need to spend so much on the Mac one to be honest. Thanks for the comment! <3
DeleteThey look pretty similar! I think Mac is way overpriced so I wouldn't go for that

You should definitely try the Maybelline one if you're wanting something similar as it is basically a cheap velvet teddy!
DeleteLove this!!

Thank you so much!
DeleteThis is such a great dupe, especially considering I don't mind Maybelline Lipsticks!
ReplyDeletewww.youarebeaut.blogspot.com
It's beautiful, you should give it a whirl 😊
DeleteI definitely agree the colour is so similar, I just find the Maybelline less matte in appearance and it transfers more, however sometimes you don't want to go completely matte anyway!

I agree, it does transfer more than the MAC but I don't really mind that. Just awkward to drink! Haha. Thanks for reading x
DeleteOh this is perfect! I've been meaning to pick up Velvet Teddy but Maybelline is a lot easier to get a hold of so I'll definitely go for that one.
