As I finished YR11 over a month ago, I have had a lot more time on my hands and tried to do more things that I never do. One of these things is baking.

  I’ve tried a lot of different beauty boxes over the years, and so far my first Cohorted box has impressed me the most; and one I will be purchasing every month.    I had so much trouble trying to order the box last month, as the site crashed over and over again, and by the time it was back online all the boxes has sold out.

So Velvet Teddy is pink toned nude matte lipstick with a slight brown hint to it. This lipstick holds the definition of 'your lips but better'. It lasts pretty well on the lips thanks to the matte finish, and is really the perfect nude lipstick. It's great for winter, as it doesn't have any peachy tones in it.
