I have to give mad props to +Franci of The Fashion Palate for grabbing an extra Kelly Yum Yum lipstick during the launch so I could write this post! Clearly I love bright pink. Most of my lipsticks and nail polishes are are in the poppy-fuchsia family and of course there is the matter of my hair....
I have several +MAC Cosmetics lipsticks, all offering similar textures with varying finishes so I knew I'd be happy, I didn't know how happy... This shade ROCKS! In fact, I dyed my hair purple to play on Kelly's signature look. Creamy and easy to apply, Kelly Yum Yum is a moderately opaque lipstick with a creamy satin finish. I say satin because there is clearly a sheen on my lips. Plus, I have MAC Mattene lipstick in Rare Exotic and THAT is a matte finish! Back to Kelly...
This tube of deliciousness required a slight build-up to achieve a fully opaque look. It was a very comfortable wear, it never changed shades or feathered off of my lips and I found it to be quite forgiving to dry patches. I experienced very minimal transfer and after the product wore off, noted that my lips were stained. Not a big deal; It made reapplication easier. Plus the removal was simple, my makeup remover easily lifted the remaining pigments. I am in LOVE with this shade and I have a feeling it is going to be my Summer go-to.
