MAC has finally launched its Kitty Kouture line, and not a moment too soon if ya ask me. Cuz if it’s one thing I love, it’s spending my rent money on make-up and shiny stuff.



Ok, sarcasm aside, I’ll admit I love this line. And if I had a bunch of extra money lying around, I would totally buy all of it. The products are fab, and the packaging is fun, girly and oh so sparkly.

The two shades of Dazzleglass – at $28 a pop- are lovely. Kitty Kouture is a sheer baby pink with loads of sparkle, and Dazzlepuss is a sheer hot pink with flecks of iridescent glitter. The vials are about the same size as MACs regular lipglass, and adorned with a bejeweled Hello Kitty charm that could easily be MacGuyvered into a pendant if you really wanted to make the effort.

The Sheer Mystery Powder meanwhile comes in just about the most beautiful compact ever, encrusted with Swarovski Crystals and a blinged out Hello Kitty logo. The powder comes in three shades – light medium, medium plus and Dark Secret – but let’s be real folks, no one really cares about the powder. Cuz the compact is so pretty it could be filled with killer bees and I’d still want it. Or at least I did until I found out it costs $90. Then I just started crying. Cuz good lord that’s a lot of money!

So until I either win the lottery or find a rich husband, I will be reporting on the Kouture line rather than reviewing it. Unless a certain cosmetics company feels like sending me free samples *cough, cough* in which case I will gladly accept donations!

After a long day of work fail, I needed an impromptu trip to the evil den of temptation that is Sephora to calm my nerves. So with accomplices Sarah and Mollena in tow, I proceeded to rip it up in that heezy, and spend WAY more than I had originally planned. I also participated in a three way barrage of profanity and obscene comments that I’m certain scared the staff, but that’s another story for another day.

So, in addition to the Hello Kitty brush set I purchased at the MAC counter, here are the other fabulous items I procured:



* Make Up Forever HD High Definition Foundation - the tall, delicious man working the Stila section told me this foundation “looks great on camera,” so naturally I had to pick some up. Granted, he could have been selling old gym socks and Kathy Lee Gifford CDs for all I cared and I still would have bought them. In any case, expect a full fledged review of this product in the near future.

* Benefit Lip Plump - this primer makes lips look fuller, and I’m all about that! I used this stuff years ago, but it’s been a while so I figured I’d give it another whirl. I was a little annoyed at the price though – last time I bought this it was $16, now it’s $22. Because in today’s dwindling economy, what better way to exacerbate the fail than with massive price increases? YAY!

* Cargo Texas Lash Mascara - This one I’m really excited about. When I heard the term “Texas Lash” I immediately thought of big, thick pageant queen lashes, and that’s exactly what this mascara delivers. Epic win ya’ll!

* Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Underground - I use the black version of this every day, so I decided to try out a new color. This one is a shimmery taupe that really brings out brown eyes. It’s not something I’ll likely use everyday, but its always nice to have options.

And now, it’s time to watch a little Family Matters on Nick at Night before bed. Goodnight kids!

First came Hello Kitty. Then came Pochacco. And now we have…Inappropriate Bondage Kitty.

My fabulous friend Sarah, aka Sparkly Devil emailed this promo for the Mac Hello Kitty line to me today. And to be quite honest, my brain is still trying to process what I just saw.

Allow me to give you a rundown of the odd things happening in said promo, so it will be easier for you to comprehend what the hell is going on when you watch the ad, which I have posted below. The premise is some kind of Alice in Wonderland meets Hello Kitty meets the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist nightmare. Only, instead of “casual encounters,” it’s more like terrifying encounters. And there’s a cat involved.

So, here’s the rundown:

Around 1:30, Pink Girly Kitty crawls into what looks like a giant vagina made of tulle. As she makes her way into the valley of fabric and lady parts, the accompanying music is beckoning her to “come inside.” Huh, I wonder what they mean by that? *scratches head*

At 2:15, she enters a dark world of fail, and encounters Creepy Latex Kitty, who is surrounded by a bunch of bondage dudes with latex pants and giant Hello Kitty heads.

By 2:35, bondage dudes have surrounded Pink Girly Kitty, and are doing some sort of wierd tribal dance whilst feeling her up.

3:08, more bondage dudes show up, and Latex Kitty starts riding them around like horses. Which isn’t that strange, considering that’s what I do everytime I go to Sanrio – but then the other bondage dudes start throwing Pink Girly Kitty around like a rag doll. And the situation just got serious.

3:58, Pink Girly Kitty wakes up, and realizes her trip to crazy vagina latex world was just a dream. Thank god, cuz seriously, that was some effed’ up shit.



Now that you all understand my bewilderment, let us never speak of this again.

I’m going to go pray now, because I’m scared. Yay as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. But I shall fear the creepy Hello Kitty bondage dudes, because the thought of someone being twisted enough to come up with that makes me a litte uneasy.

Someone hold me.

Okay peeps, it’s T-minus one day and counting until the launch of the MAC Hello Kitty collection, and I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. I mean, this is like, the holy grail for girly girls everywhere. It’s like, even bigger than when Britney and Christina presented together at the 2000 VMAs.



Ok, I must calm down. I am a professional after all (heh) and must bring you the details of this glorious collection. And let me tell you, it’s all amazing!

MAC is offering everything from Hello Kitty lip glass and lipstick to eyeshadow, nail lacquer, blush, glitter eye liner and yes, even eye pigment. Then there’s the collection of accessories, the thought of which quite frankly has given me heart palpitations. Like the kind I used to get from boys before I realized they’re all douchebags. Which used to really upset me, until I saw this Hello Kitty stuff and was brought right back to my happy place! Aaaaah Zen, how I’ve missed you!

Anywho, to give you guys a better idea of what to expect, I’ve included a partial listing of the collection below. There are also some couture items which are a lot pricier – think $90 face powder – and a bunch of super cute totes, make-up bags and even jewelry.
