I like that the Mac lipsticks tubes close firmly with that satisfying click but easily so that you don't have to worry but the tube opening up in your purse or makeup bag. One swipe gives a lot of color and coverage, which is great especially for mattes as I don't like to apply a lot of layers for matte lippies as the dry layers flake and feel worse as time goes on. I wouldn't say this is the highest quality lipstick I own but I do feel this is definitely one of the better quality lippies I own.
Now I wouldn't say this is a moisturizing shade because apply this on without lipbalm and you'll notice a difference but for a matte this isn't drying. It isn't moisturizing but I have applied this straight on my lips without a lip balm on underneath and my lips didn't feel dry, in fact I could rub my lips together and they were smooth and moist instead of that dry and flakey feeling that I would get with other matte lipsticks. One thing I really do like about this matte is that it doesn't feel really drying. It took a little while for me to warm up to the shade. I was a tad disappointed when it arrived although it was my fault for not trying out the shade in store first, although the tester was used up due to the popularity of the shade. I'm about a NC25 and it looks too brown on me to be a nude, it's more of neutral. Mac Velvet Teddy is described as a deep toned matte beige. So when I was able to grab a bargain on this shade I did. However, when I was getting into more nude and natural shades for lipsticks this was one really popular shade especially on tan skin. I'm not one to give into celebrity hype, especially the Kardashians.
