I don’t like to say “you need,” as in “You need to try this,” but YOU NEED TO TRY THIS NUDE LIP COMBO IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY. 🙂 I think it’s that fab. It’s MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick and Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb.
So. Good.
I was playing with some nudes the other day (um…I swear, that didn’t sound dirty when I said it in my head) when I randomly stumbled upon it, and now I’m in lurve.
It’s kinda beige-y and peachy, with the faintest essence of a golden tint, and it looks clutch-your-pearls amazing with warm orange browns and reddish brown eyeshadows.
Please. Try it. And let me know what you think. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Ah!! A beautiful, noticeable nude for this skin tone!!
Hi Christine,
I hope you give this a go! It’s such a great combo. Plus Velvet Teddy is also super pretty on its own.
Haha too funny I wore this exact combo today!!! Great taste 🙂
Hi Julez,
Ahhh, great minds think alike! What other nude combos do you like? I’m thinking of actually doing a combo lip series…
That’d be a great series! I picked up Mac’s Giddy this week and am in love!
Hi Beth,
Oh, I’m so happy that you like it! It’s one of my favorite colors too. It’s a great layering lipstick, especially with the classic MAC Lipglass/Lip Liner shades.
I hope you’re having a great week so far. I’ve been juggling a lot, it seems, but I’m hanging in there.
Do a combo lip series please.
Also, thanks for continuing to enable my cosmetic addiction.

Great combo, but girl, your hair! It looks so full and bouncy and just perfect!

This is lovely! And I think it’s just enough color to keep me from looking washed out. 🙂
Very pretty. I need to start using my Velvet Teddy as a couple of the nude MAC’s I usually use are getting pretty low. I don’t have that Fenty gloss but I could probably find some similar in my arsenal. I only have a traincase full of lip products!
Good for you for keeping your lip color collection streamlined. They’re my weakness so I tend to hoard lipsticks, liner and gloss. 🙊
How did the baby shower go, by the way?
The baby shower has not happened yet, thanks for asking. I still have a month to fret over it!
Oooooh that’s gorgeous!!! I mean you can’t go wrong with Velvet Teddy anyway… But I have been on the fence about buying this gloss… And now I think I’m sold!! Yay for nudes!! Haha
Hi Michelle,
It’s one of my fave things from the Fenty line. 🙂 I hope you like it because it’s quite flexible!
Every time I’m in Sephora I swatch that Fenty gloss on my wrist and I think “Maybe I should get this”. But I rarely wear gloss, so I think it would be a waste. Velvet Teddy is pretty, why have I never seen this one in person? I have a bunch of empties to return to MAC, so maybe I’ll pick that as my next lipstick.
That’s a lovely combo on you. It would be perfect with really dark, smokey eyes, too.

As soon as I saw the title I thought: heyyyyyy, I have those colours! Yay! Tried it as soon as I got home from work. I likes it, I do. Such wearable. much wow. So loves (the doge meme just popped right in there). I never quite liked velvet teddy – just a tad too rosy on me, but the gloss just makes everything work. I know what I’m wearing tomorrow 😉.
I can’t remember if I own Velvet Teddy (confessions of a makeup hoarder) but this is a beautiful combo on you! I’m actually wearing glossy bomb over Twig today and I think it’ll become my new everyday lip.
