Spotted In Hawaii: Anteprima Hello Kitty Wirebag
Your friends may make fun of you for your perhaps age-inappropriate Hello Kitty collection of pens, mugs, linens, guitars, jewelry, cutlery, furniture, and what-have-you, but who are they kidding? Despite her sweet and youthful appearance, Hello Kitty isn't just for kids, and quite frankly, with upscale Sanrio-loving designers like Tarina Tarantino and Kimora Lee Simmons for Zales, she's much more popular with the adults these days than she ever was with the youngsters! And now, with the help of MAC Cosmetics, she just got a whole lot more grown-up! The much-anticipated Hello Kitty makeup collection is finally available for purchase today in MAC stores and MAC-carrying department stores (yes, you can actually buy it and take it home -- it's not just on display for pre-orders or to tease us anymore)! The collection contains three different "lines" -- Hello Kitty Mild, Hello Kitty Wild, and Hello Kitty Accessories -- with coordinating shades in each that range from pretty girlie pinks to bold modish blues and neon hues. While the sweet inspired products include a variety of makeup zip-cases, feline-like lashes, and loads of character-influenced glosses, glitters, and pigments, I have to say I much prefer the products that they've emblazoned with the Hello Kitty logo over the plain pots of "inspired" shades that they've also thrown in the collection (I don't really see the point unless you're truly indulging in your obsession). Overall, MAC's spin on our favorite cartoon cat is so dark and funky that she looks more like "Goodbye Kitty" than her usual jolly self, but I have to say, I'm kind of diggin' this gritty new side to the classic Kitty! Check out the slideshow for some of the products inspired by the fancy feline!
