Kitten with a Whip: MAC's Hello Kitty Collection

It is currently available online and hits the counters this Thursday, February 12th. The collection boasts some serious stunning lippies along with Hello Kitty accessories. This Hello Kitty interpretation has been given the MAC treatment. This version of Hello Kitty is a naughty coquette. One of my dear friends, Jessica(who is officially a DR this week!), took these shots at Henri Bendels in NYC.
The man kitty kinda scares me.

Since Hello Kitty does not have a visible mouth, the first quality that came to mind is that she must have lashes that make a statement:
They are wispy, flirtatious, and crisscross - because she is all about batting her lashes. It’s so much about the eyes that we did two eye shadow
quads that combine classic, more traditional colours such as a smoky, taupe brown and a slightly sparkly black with shades that really pop, like
turquoise and a violet, bright plum juxtaposed with coral and a hot, hot pink which is very playful. We incorporated glitter eye liners because
she loves anything that twinkles, and we took the coral and hot pink theme and did pretty, poppy blush.
Playing on pink is a nod to her girliness but it is less of a baby-pink and more of a grown-up fuchsia shade. To appeal to the younger
Hello Kitty fan we created these fabulous lip conditioners in colours like yellow pink and dusky rose that were all over the runways,
and made the gloss extremely translucent by taking the heavy pigment out and making it almost see-through and dimensional,
reminiscent of cellophane. We didn’t think that a matte lip properly represented M·A·C Hello Kitty’s feminine nature, so we created
products that project glaze and lustre by skipping the sumptuous, sensuous mouth that could be perceived as heavy or campy and
opting for light and glossy instead. The collection is for all ages, but it’s about a younger attitude. It is light, fresh and fun.

I don't think this Hello (Kinky) Kitty collection is going to do it for me, but where the makeup colors fail the PR does not. "Since Hello Kitty does not have a mouth..." is the most excitingly perverse lead-in ever.

Hello Annie and all! This is definitely *not* the Hello Kitty we grew up with...! The Kitty Man had a *very* impressive physique. I never saw his face, or heard his voice (it was like Disneyland, where the "characters" don't talk), but he seemed to be having fun!

That poor man, having to be the Man Kitty. What a ridiculous get-up. The collection itself isn't really my normal style, but I think it looks adorable and really...fun. Definitely fun.

The Kitty-Men are hot, but only when they're shirtless. What is that ridiculous getup that Kittyman's wearing?

Have you seen the short film for the collection on Macpro:

I have gotten really nice purchases from the other limited editions from MAC in the past. Therefore, I am not tempted on this one. I wouldn't mind a bag, but that's about it. I really wish that I was hyped on this one.
