Drugstore Dupe for Mac Velvet Teddy Lipstick

Let just start out by saying that I am not a big matte lipstick person, but I will make exception for certain "ones", like Mac Velvet Teddy and Whirl.  I recently placed an order on Joah Beauty website and they offered a Kiss-a-holic lip kit as a gift with purchase.  I am so glad they did because this is not something I would have pick out myself.


If you are not familiar, Joah is a K-beauty inspired Korean drugstore makeup brand that is available at some CVS locations.  Joah stands for "I like it" in Korean (cute huh) and their packaging is adorable.  I also love that everything comes sealed so their is no tampering. 

I am a nude lipstick kind of girl so upon receiving the kit, I immediately applied the nude shade called "Pie Bites".  I was pleasantly surprise by the formula, it glides easily across my lip and wear comfortably for hours.  The finish is more like a cream, their is a hint of shine.  Staying power is stronger than a cream formula, the color was still there after I ate lunch.  To sum it up, I fell in love with the formula and the color look awfully familiar.  The first color I compared it to was Mac Velvet Teddy and I think it's pretty dead on.



This is me wearing Mac Velvet Teddy on my right side and Joah Beauty Pie Bites of my left.  Can you see the difference? 


I hope you enjoy this dupe edition, until next time.

Hello

Hello and welcome to Beauty Canvas.  My name is Trinh.  I have many hobbies but makeup and skincare have been my constant obsession for the past 15 years or so.  Whenever I am sick or just feel blah, makeup is a great mood lifter.  When I am frustrated, I go and play with swatches and my problem drift away, even if just for a moment.  At the end of a long day, sitting down and layering my skincare is a therapeutic ritual.  Need I say more?   Btw, I pick that photo to show you my everyday style...the light hand, no makeup makeup, with an occasional bold lips. I have an Instagram account beautifulcanvas80 that I post almost daily, I hope you will follow me there.  If you're here from IG, hi IG friends 😉

I am also enjoying the limited edition face palette from Charlotte Tilbury.  I gravitate toward face palette in general because they are so convenience for travel and it is always a plus when a palette also contain a setting powder.  Actually the setting powder is the star of this palette for me.  It amazingly blurs any imperfection and does not look dry or powdery.  My T-zone which has enlarged pore...
