Beauty Blurb: Say “Hello” to M.A.C. Cosmetics Kitty Collection

A sneak peek at the type of blogs I might be writing as an intern for ellegirl.com, here's the latest from the M.A.C. cosmetics line. Meow!

I loved Hello Kitty as a kid and I’m proud to admit I still do! That’s why I’m so excited that M.A.C. is collaborating with Sanrio to offer two Hello Kitty collections this spring: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and Hello Kitty Kouture.

Slated to hit the U.S. maccosmetics.com February 10th (M.A.C. retail stores February 12th) and in March overseas, the Hello Kitty Colour Collection will feature lipsticks and lipglasses with names like “Fashion Mews” and “Strayin’” to achieve the prrrfect pout. The line will also have tinted lip conditioners, eye shadow palettes, glitter eye liners, nail polish, and more that range from $11-$38. Items highlight pretty shades of pink, turquoise, lavender and green.

Hello Kitty Kouture is intended to be the high-end of the collection. For example, the line’s “Dazzleglass” for lips features a reusable silver chain pendant with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals. “Sheer Mystery Powder” available in three shades ($90), is packaged in a silver powder compact with the beloved feline outlined in white Swarovski crystals with a pink crystal bow.

MAC Cosmetics invited various fashion designers (including Hervé Léger, Charlotte Ronson and Catherine Malandrino) to design couture pieces inspired by Hello Kitty. It will be presented to the world on February 5th, a week before the kickoff to New York Fashion Week.
