Primark shoppers are raving about this £1.50 lipstick that is identical to MAC's Velvet Teddy

Having a make-up obsession can be bad for a cosmetic lover's bank balance, which is why you should always be on the hunt for more affordable dupes.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Primark is looking after our wages by coming out with a £1.50 lipstick that people say is identical to a best-selling shade from MAC cosmetics; some shoppers are even convinced that the budget lippy is better quality. 

Velvet Teddy is one of MAC's most popular lipstick colours but it usually retails for an eye-watering £17.50. If Primark's version really is similar to the original, it could save you £16.

This lipstick is included in Primark's Miss Gloria X collection and is called You Do You, Babe. Shoppers are impressed with more than just the lippy's colour and also love the quality of the product.

Customers flocked to Mirror's Facebook page to praise the lipstick.

One person commented: "This makes me happy."

Another said: "It stays on all day."

A third commented: "I have them both and honestly there [sic] both brilliant."
