A more &#8220;grown-up&#8221; version of the little white kitten once dressed in overalls and stripes, perhaps? Clad in go-go boots sprawled across patent accessories (clutches, cosmetic bags, and little vanity sets!) and\u00a0appearing\u00a0in the form of a black vinyl plush doll, Hello Kitty has evolved quite a bit since her introduction as a simple cartoon character thirty or so years ago. MAC executives are a bit mum on sales projections; but they seem to want to portray Hello Kitty cosmetics as wearable for day (for the girly, pink and shimmer loving ladies), and easily transformable into evening makeup: clubbing worthy dominatrix-meets-techno. Well, that just happens to be my guess, after seeing some photos of ads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Definitely dominatrix meets techno, after looking at the above photo again. Dressed in black vinyl bustiers and in bright makeup? Yes sir!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From what I&#8217;ve been able to see so far, I&#8217;m in love with the pigments; the loose, shimmery black shadow is a definite must have for me &#8211; smokey eyes are the one makeup look that I&#8217;ve actually mastered&#8230; and can wear. Imagine the different variations of the ever smoldering smokey eye &#8211; black or silver for the evening, and a lavender for the day! The magenta is such a beautiful shade, though I&#8217;m not so sure how that would look when it is actually applied on the face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The nail lacquers. Purrrrfect. And the bottles look adorable! That bright, bubblegum pink shade on the model is simply perfection; it is, obviously, the pink every little girl, at one point, has dreamed of painting her room (though that color in large doses can be blinding). Is that silver I see? I really would love to try it, the shade\u00a0reminiscent\u00a0of Chanel&#8217;s RTW collection in either 07\/08.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1282\" title=\"hk for mac\" src=\"http:\/\/lacouturiernyc.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/01\/hk-for-mac-41.jpg?resize=360%2C412\" alt=\"hk-for-mac-41\" width=\"360\" height=\"412\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And of course. Last but not least, the lip collection &#8211; the very part I am most excited about (since, I must admit, that is the only daily makeup I ever wear). I already love MAC&#8217;s lipsticks &amp; lip glasses (simply the best!); my obsession with lippies is fully exemplified by the fact I carry eight or so tubes in my purse (and then there&#8217;s the rest sitting on my vanity). The lipsticks, especially the beige and the pink on the right, are simply purrfect. The brighter coral-red is such a beautiful shade too, although it&#8217;s color transfer from tube to lips could potentially be too overwhelming. Nonetheless, a fun color to try! And the lipglasses; in purples and pinks galore, imagine flaunting candy-colored lips all day! Yum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But before it releases, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/\">browse &amp; shop at MAC<\/a>. I seriously do recommend their products (specifically lippies &amp; shadows!) Or just have fun looking at a myriad of colors and pigments. Because that is totally fun, too, darlings!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Delicious. I want!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">xoxo,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">La C.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">P.S.:\u00a0Twice in a week!
