Here's a swatch of Velvet Teddy Lipstick, Whirl Lip Liner, and NYX Mauve Lip Liner to give you a comparison of the colors. I searched through my pile of lip liners and found NYX Cosmetics Lip Liner in Mauve. I wanted something in the same color family (mauve-beigey tone) but not purple. It was too bland no definition whatsoever- basically just blended right into the coloring of my lips. Defined and filled in my lip with the liner and I instantly knew it wouldn't do it for me. The idea of jetting back off to the 90’s, with glitter hair mascara, denim & denim disasters and blue eyeshadow did invoke a slight anxiety attack. The over-lined look scared me very much at first. I decided to give it a try and match it with Whirl Lip Liner (a Kylie Jenner favorite). This time I opted for the nudey nudes of Velvet Teddy accompanied by Whirl lipliner. I actually got it because of my Kylie lip obsession but. I wouldn't even think that this shade would be one of the most sought after shades because of it's celebrity influence (ahem Kylie Jenner). I usually use this with a lipliner but Im surprised how natural it turned out here when worn without. Everyday for 5 years I would see this shade on the lipstick displayer and I really didn't think anything of it. Being a lipstick junkie (especially MAC Lipsticks) I never really paid attention to this shade.
