I picked this piece of information about the upcoming MAC Cosmetics Hello Kitty collection from Temptalia.
So, MAC and Hello Kitty fans in the USA might want to bookmark 10 and 12 February 2009 for the launch of this limited edition collection in the USA and MAC and Hello Kitty fans elsewhere in the world will have to wait till March 2009 to see this.
I thought the Mac Barbie collection was quite surreal then, and when I first heard about the proposed collaboration between MAC Cosmetics and Hello Kitty I admit I thought it was a joke. It appears however, that it is NOT a joke and this collection is imminent. I can just hear the squeals of delight from Hello Kitty collectors. One more for the collection!
There is even a Hello Kitty-MAC plush doll that will retail for US$42 *faints*
While I’m curious about it, I can’t help feeling that all this is a little… surreal… wake me up someone…
UPDATE: Here’s another picture of the collection
You can read full details at Temptalia then come back here and take my little poll 🙂

Why march? 🙁 I’ll buy, I’ll buy, just don’t let me buy the entire collection, please. I’ll buy. This is so strange coming from a dog-lover; to be in love with a mouthless cat. Meow 😀

November 21, 2008 at 11:49 pmI kinda like Hello Kitty, though am not a collector.
But you know this collection…does it look FAKE to you??
I mean the black is SO not Hello Kitty….which makes it look like some Petaling Street knock off lah….

November 22, 2008 at 3:21 amI’m so disappointed by this collection. When I think of Hello Kitty I think pink, cute and girlish. HK in black is just wrong. I think they probably wanted a grown up feel, but it doesn’t do anything for me.

plue says
November 22, 2008 at 11:42 amhm, i never liked hello kitty.

November 22, 2008 at 7:22 pmSomehow the Barbie one appeals more to me. Possibly because in my mind Hello Kitty is for 5 year olds.
The colours seem quite cute though. But I dont think I will be getting any of these =s
ParisB says
November 23, 2008 at 12:20 am@geekchic : LOL meow! 😛
@Kahani: Hee… don’t let the HK fans see you 😉
@reeka: I guess if its not black its not Mac!
ParisB says
November 23, 2008 at 12:22 am@Jenn : Heh… I’ll be curious too to see it when it gets here.
@Monstro: Now that you mention it… hehe…
ParisB says
November 23, 2008 at 12:23 am@gio : Haha did you see that they said Hello Kitty is sexy? I was thinking o_O
ParisB says
November 23, 2008 at 12:24 am@jojoba : Because HK doesn’t have a mouth so it can’t smile – I think its actually cuter this way coz a grinning cat would really freak me out more! LOL…
ParisB says
November 23, 2008 at 12:26 am@giddy tigress : Haha yeah thats what I thought.
@plue: Well, Mac does release a new collection every month so I guess there will be one that you might like to come.
@dweam: I know for sure I won’t be!
rinnah says
November 23, 2008 at 5:20 pmGee… I’ve never associated Hello Kitty with makeup and I don’t think I wanna start now…
Tine says
November 23, 2008 at 5:35 pmYou know what, I’m quite looking forward to the Dame Edna collection. That crass purple lady cracks me up, and the red eyeglasses on the MAC makeup’s just too cute :p
