That’s two new sticks we’ll definitely be trying however, it’s not the first time that Primark has wowed make-up lovers with a covetable Velvet Teddy alternative. ‘I’m actually surprised how good they are.’ ‘They stay on throughout my 10 hour shift at work without budging and I haven’t found them to be drying,’ she added in the comments on the thread. ‘If anyone uses MAC Velvet Teddy I have spotted these in Primark and they are AMAZING! Very similar I think and for £1.50 they are a bargain! You do you babe and Velvet touch matte.’ Facebook/Extreme Couponing And Bargains UK The similarity between the bargain stick and the more expensive Mac version has been noted on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page, where member Kira Carmel Astley wrote: You Do You, Babe is a shade from Primark’s Miss Gloria x Primark lipstick range, which encompasses four flattering new colours.

However, priced at £17.50, it can have a significant impact on your bank balance if you’re a regular user, which is why you’ll be happy to know that Primark’s alternative will only set you back £1.50 – yes, really! Macįor those who aren’t familiar with Velvet Teddy, the matte, deep-tone beige lipstick is the perfect shade of nude, and became a huge hit among beauty lovers a few years ago when it was revealed that it was Kylie Jenner’s go-to everyday shade. Yep, the popular high street retailer apparently has an exact dupe of the product, only with a very significant price difference. Velvet Teddy has been one of (if not the most popular) Mac lipsticks for years, but it looks like it’s got some hot competition from… Primark.
