MAC Hello Kitty Preview and Unveiling With Swatches

Finally, the long-awaited collection is coming real soon! I was invited to the MAC Hello Kitty unveiling at my local MAC free-standing store, and who was I to decline? It was from 7-9 p.m. last night. I was there on-the-dot, but to my dismay, I came upon a long line of excited MAC/Hello Kitty enthusiasts snaking around the building. I waited in line for more than an hour, but it was worth it! They also served cocktails (lemonade spiked with vodka, but I took my lemonade virgin) and bow-shaped cookies. I could not believe how packed that store was! It was as if there's no recession going on. =D Anyways, before I show the products, of course I had to present Hello Kitty himself? herself? Daniel Kitty? Whatever:

Rawr!

I love this particular "kitty"'s tan! Of course, the abs ain't bad at all. =D

The line wrapping around the building

HK balloons

Even the Apple guys across the walkway couldn't understand what was happening and kept staring at the MAC store. LOL

Correction: Sweet Strawberry should read Fast Friends.

I got the two pigments and the glitter liner in Her Glitz (so so gorgeous!). I will be going back for the two beauty powder blushes and maybe the Tahitian Sand beauty powder. Reviews coming soon!

There's only one MAC stand in my entire state! Looks like the HK collection is gonna be worth the wait for me! =^-^= Can't wait for the reviews!; 04 February, 2009 15:22
Phyrra said...: Sweet Strawberry looks very pretty from the lipglasses.
The glitter liners are look cute. I like Girl Groove the best but I'm not sure how that would look as a liner... maybe do a dark grey lid with a light liner like that?; 04 February, 2009 18:22

Anonymous said...: Wow, these pictures actually helped me. I hate the, well, I guess you would call them the companies promotion photos? But these looked so much better, and now I know what I want for sure...all three of the brushes, beauty powder, blush, and maybe a lipstick. :D; 04 February, 2009 23:11

I went to my unveiling party for Heatherette and they have two nakee (ok, they had chaps on) guys dressed like Richie Rich and Traver Rains! We drank pink champagne and had pink caramel covered popcorn.. So, so delicious!; 05 February, 2009 04:52

The Shades Of U said...: xPhoenix- you can always order online if you find it inconvenient to go to the store. :) I can't wait as well!

Phyrra-Sorry girl, that was Fast Friends. I got a little confused because of the madness that night!

Nikki- Yup I wonder who thought of the wonderful idea of the Daniel Kitty with ripped abs? lol

Pooja- according to MAC, international release is in March. One more month to go!

Morgan- yeah, nothing beats the real thing! In the promo pics, Fresh Brew looked nothing like the real one!

Anonymous- Why anonymous? I won't bite. ;-) Thanks for the heads-up, everything has been duly noted.

Bella- I agree, the Deep Blue Green piggie is gorgeous!; 05 February, 2009 21:59
