Hello Kitty Fabulousness

So you should know by now, unless you have been hiding under a rock, MAC cosmetic's has released a line of products inspired by Hello Kitty. As a Hello Kitty fanatic I waited to view the products in person and pick up a few pieces before my evaluation of the line.

Lipglass $16.50 Can. each


Last week I picked up "she loves candy" lipglass. It's a slightly shimmery pink swirl of cuteness. Its packaged in a tube and comes with an applicator wand just like other MAC lipglass products. The gloss is just a hint of pink, with metallic gold flakes making it great for women of color. I really love "she loves candy" and wish it was in the permanent line of MAC lipglass. Days later I picked up “mimmy” lipglass, its also a light pink gloss with a more frosted pink pigment and less metallic flakes. Its a great colour to use for blending with other glosses or lipstick.

I placed an order for makeup application brush holder and brushes (which was overpriced in my opinion) but I got the hook up from an old friend in the biz so I got it at MAC pro cosmetic artist rate. I might be enticed to pick up “too dolly” eye palate collection this weekend, the palate colours complement each other well.



Too Dolly eye shadow palate $46.00 Can. Makeup brushes with holder
$58.00 Can.

Overall the attempt to capture hello kitty was decent but it just seemed that something was lacking. I was a bit disappointed by both the packaging design and lack of products available. Most items were overpriced and the colour palate for both "mild kitty" and "wild kitty" was limited. With the overwhelming commercial success of the hello Hello Kitty line, I hope that MAC will expand on HK and introduce permanent products in the future. I can see the direction they were trying to go with the campaign...Mild vs. Wild kitty etc. and I'm hip to the game. I peeped how the "wild kitty" is the black model trying to seduce the "mild kitty"...the innocent white model kitty who helpless. MAC you aint' slick...
