Coming Soon: MAC Partners to Launch Hello Kitty Makeup Line

All you secret (or not-so-secret) Sanrio fans out there, you can soon say "hi" to a new Hello Kitty cosmetics line from MAC. Debuting on Feb. 10, there will be lipsticks, lip conditioners, and lipglasses — which is a bit odd, since Hello Kitty herself has no mouth to model them — in addition to glittery liners, shimmery shadows, and a whole lot of pink.

"To me, MAC Hello Kitty embodies the ultimate beauty icon," Jennifer Balbier, senior vice president of product development for MAC Worldwide, told WWD. "She’s sweet and sexy, slightly edgy, and appeals to a wide range of customers."

Product prices range from $11 (nail polish) to $38 (eyeshadow quad) for the main Hello Kitty Colour Collection to something called "Sheer Mystery Powder" ($90) in a crystallized, silver compact as part of the high-end Hello Kitty Kouture line. Mystery indeed. Since the products will be offered for a limited time only (eight weeks max), if this sounds like something you wanna get in on, the waiting list will go live on Jan. 7. Meow!

    I feel uncomfortable about Hello Kitty being described as 'sexy'.

    I love MAC, but I'm honestly that excited by the line. I'll probably check it out at the MAC counter in my mall, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to find it.

    Ninety dollar powder, even from MAC, sounds like a pile of kitty poo to me!

    TBH, I'm not all that excited by the collection, and will almost certainly pass it by - the colors aren't anything special, and I can't stand Hello Kitty. (Yes, I know I'm a scrooge.)

    It's cute and I'll always have a fondness for Hello Kitty, but I just think it's a little too kiddish for me. I don't wear all those bright colors too often anymore.

    I saw this on another blog this morning, thank God for Kiss and Makeup in London. It's cute and all but not colors I would wear.

    The packaging is a little off base for me. I was hoping for some cute pastel coloured compacts. Like tatsauce, I don't like Kitty being described as 'sexy' ;/ She's designed for children after all, I don't want Kitty to become like the Bratz.

    I am super psyched! I missed out on the Barbie loves MAC line, and I adore Hello Kitty more than I like Barbie. I will probably only buy a couple things though and only at a MAC counter.
