Beauty Launch: M.A.C Hello Kitty Collection

If you're like this beauty chick, you spent your childhood absolutely loving Hello Kitty. The adorable icon from Sanrio is known around the world for her cheeky attitude. So when I found out that M.A.C had partnered with Sanrio to create a Hello Kitty collection, I just about died and went to kitty heaven. Even better? I got an exclusive, up close and personal look at the collection back in November! (I had to keep it under wraps until now, or you just know I'd have let you all in on the details months ago!) And did you know...

Hello Kitty is actually a girl. You might think she's a cat, but you would be wrong!
Hello Kitty has no mouth. Obvious? Maybe not!
Hello Kitty is 34 years old. (Doesn't she look fabulous for her age?)
Hello Kitty has a dark and edgy side.
Hello Kitty has a twin sister named Mimmy.
And most importantly ... Hello Kitty is a makeup addict!



Two very distinctive collections have emerged within the overarching Hello Kitty line. Choose from Hello Kitty Mild and Hello Kitty Wild! Each speaks to different parts of the Hello Kitty personality.



The collection encompasses everything lipstick and lipgloss to blush and eyeshadow, with some truly gorgeous palettes and colors throw into the mix. Not to mention a huge array of utterly adorable accessories!

My picks for the absolute must-haves from this collection:

Beauty Powder in Tahitian Sand ($22)
Nail Lacquer in Something About Pink ($11)
Lipglass in Mimmy ($14)
Glitter Eye Liner in Kitty Power ($16.50)
Eye Shadow Quad in Too Dolly ($38)
Hello Kitty Purse Mirror ($22)
Hello Kitty Plush Doll ($42)
Hello Kitty Brush Holder ($49.50)
Hello Kitty Beaded Bracelet ($34)

The collection launches in February. Head to maccosmetics.com to enter your email address and be notified when it becomes available. But if you're smart, you'll keep checking the site every day -- because collections have been known to launch early! Meow!
