MAC - Hello Kitty and Kitty Kouture Discussion Part II

[PeaceLovePrissy]

Who thinks they should have included those adorable t-shirts the girls wore as part of the collection though? I thought they were sooo cute and thought maybe they were for sale but nope

. There was one up on ebay on the 29th which never sold, I wonder how much it will go for now LOL. Actually, I don't want to wonder, it'll probably be something like 100+ dollars, eek!

Interesting.

what did u think of the train case. i want it soo bad but i am thinkin is it worth $66 cdn?

Another member just clarified that it's online only and that's why I probably thought it sold out immediately. I saw it over on makeupmakesmehappy and loved it though but never got to see it...I thought it had sold out but I'll just have to wait till it comes online and purchase it there

There was only one Daniel, sadly... I wanted a balloon soooo bad, but they weren't giving them to us!!! I even asked. Anyone want to be generous and give me one? LOL PLEASE?!?! I got: Pretty Baby p/b Tahitian Sand b/p (eh! still debating on keeping it) Nice Kitty l/g Fast Friends l/g Nice to be Nice l/g Strayin' l/s Medium makeup bag

I didn't see you

me and my three Gf's were there around 6:30pm and there was no line and then 5 mins till 7pm about 50 people, we got out of line and went shopping for a bit and then came back at 8:59pm [one min before closing] and OMFG there was atleast 200 people still in the store. and more people in line, they were NOT checking invites, just ID's. Cookies were disgusting and sour, but the waiters and chefs were super nice making sure everyone was fed. Our store had a bunch of girls with trays walking around with all the products and they had atleast 10 areas of where people could look, touch and try on items. Although, I saw alot of people in the store buying perm stuff which boggles my mind..just get the limited stuff and get the eff out so that we could actually navigate through the store without bumping into boobs and butts.
I stood in line for 45mins just to PAY it was so ridiculous and then when I got home I found out that they gave me 3 free lipglosses!!!! LMFAO. I guess the girl at checkout was in a hurry.

overall, the collection was not as much as its hyped to be. The makeup bag is vinyl and made in china and its $35.00, I got it because the inside is lined in hot pink with hello kitty written in cursive..so cute! I picked up one of everything [except the glitter liners and beauty powders bc they are useless].

if you pick up anything...GET THE 2 BLUSHES...OMFG so hott!!!!

 

[darkishstar]

OMG.
I just got back.
It was CRAZY. SO MANY PEOPLE.
Anyways, I got swatches for you all!

AND I got a picture with the S&M MAN HELLO KITTY!

HEHEHEHEHEHEH.

Review!!!!

Lipsticks:
Cute-ster: Very pretty, but sheer peach color. I didn't get it because of the sheerness.
Fresh Brew: Pretty nude color, but sheer and perm, so skipped.
Big Bow: Pretty with duochrome, not as much blue as in Fun N' Sexy from Fafi. So I skipped it. Very similar to Fun N' Sexy.
Strayin': This came home with me, SO BEAUTIFUL. Frosty bright pink.
Fashion Mews: Did not work at all with warm coloring of mine, skipped it. Lavendar would look nice on pink undertones or fair ladies and guys!
Most Popular: It's like Strawbaby from fafi I think. Berry colored, but sheer as well, not special. Skipped.

Lipglasses:
Nice to be Nice: Orange! Didn't want it, skipped. Hahahaha. It's ORIGINAL and.. I don't know about pigmentation.
Nice Kitty: another hot pink, not that original, skipped it.
Fast Friends: not pigmented at all! Skipped.
Mimmy: beautiful peachy coral, not original, but gorgeous. Got it.

She Loves Candy: mauvey frosty light cool pink with gold. My favorite of ALL lip products. SO gorgeous, Came home with me!
Sweet Strawberry: I think Strawberry Blonde is a much prettier berry to be honest. I liked uhm... what's that color... from CoC better than this berry too.

Palettes:
Too Dolly: Stole my heart. Got it. I actually love the dark blue color. And Romping is amazing and yeah. Had to have it.

Lucky Tom: hate this. I didn't like the orange, no pigment! And I don't like the black either, so chalky. Disappointing.

Pigments:
Milk: frost white with pink duochrome, it's SO pretty, but chunky, which was disappointing.
Deep Blue Green: gorgeous. I would get it if I didn't have way too many pigments already!

Blushes:
Tippy: SO GORGEOUS. But can't see myself using it often. So I skipped it, but soooo pigmented and frosty.
Fun n games: didn't get to touch it.

Lip conditioners:
Pink Fish: pretty color, I would get it if I had the money!

Didn't touch the glitter liners.

I only bought:
Strayin'
Too Dolly Palette
She Loves Candy
Mimmy

Did anyone see the hello kitty doll and if so what did you think of it. Cheap or cute? If someone posted a review I am so sorry but I didn't see it. I so wish that we would have had one of these events in Seattle. Looks like you all had a great time!

About the only thing I'm interested in is Pink Fish TLC.

Quandary: Can anyone tell me if Milk is really just Helium? A comment in the swatch thread has me wondering.

It's been stated a few times in the last few pages that yes, the two are essentially the same pigment just with a different name.

I just saw the HK lipglasses on the site we can not name. I died and went to MAC heaven.

... I will be back in a few minutes....

FREE tattoos! bonus pic: haha, yeah they're not all mine unfortunately hehe.. these are mine and my friend's haul! pics and swatches are on the swatch thread! enjoy!! http://www.specktra.net/forum/f217/m...6/#post1485145

I'm so mad! We didn't get tattoos, totes, cookies.. and there were only 30 balloons! So me and my friend didn't get one.

Hi all,
I went to the NYC event. Oh, it was so great. The packaging was so cute. The Daniels running around had rock hard abs. The waiters with the pink bow ties were so nice. Bow tie cookies. I snagged a balloon, which got plenty of attention and a couple of questions. They even had tattoos, which Daniel was applying quite poorly. But good, lord, it was claustrophobic in there.
I took an insane amount of pictures and swatches and all that. I have so many pics that I don't know what to do with them. The reason I'm actually up (OMG is that the time?!) is that I took a mini nap while the pics were uploading to photobucket.

If you guys would like to see what I captured of the craziness, here is the link to my photobucket album: Hello Kitty MAC Presale 2 3 09 pictures by lenadav - Photobucket

I also posted a blog of my experience, as per Janice's request, but I don't know when that will be up.
What I didn't like:
-the lip conditioners (they seemed sticky to me),
-fashion mews (i got the lavender whip and ever so rich glass from cremesheen collection)
-all the other lipsticks, except for most popular and fresh brew
-petite bag (really petite, couldn't even fit my pencil, or all of my travel-size just-in-case things that I carry everyday)
-tippy blush (too hot pink for me)

I got:
-2 lipsticks from the HK collection and lavender whip from cremesheen
-both eyeshadow palettes, although the swatches look muted to me, but I may need to just play with it
-on the prowl polish (my first MAC polish!!!)
-lashes (my first pair!!!)
-both pigments (my first pigments!!!)
-fun & games blush
-tahitian sand powder (unclear on what to do with this, since its just a flat color and may make me look a little dry. i just wanted something else with her face engraved on it)
-cup/brushes (holds at least 28 of my brushes, including the brushes it comes with. I didn't even realize I had that many until I tested the holder. I like it has a felt bottom so it doesn't scratch the surface)
I didn't get any lipglasses because I already have so many glosses that I forget about, so I didn't want to let another gloss sit and get old. I wasn't interested in the small accessories, so I didn't even look at them.

Look out for my blog (if it gets posted). Enjoy the pics and let me know if there are any questions. And if I should post my pics somewhere else, let me know, please. I'm only 2 weeks old as a specktra member. Off to bed!!!

Adina, I love you!!

Awesome review!!

And this is my list!!

 

[TwistedFaith]

Thank you all for the great pictures and reviews! It is sooo helpful and appreciated. Thanks again!

 

[Rudyru]

I LOOOOOVED my event!

Got everything I wanted and then some! I got one of the HK model's numbers. <3 He better not be a butter face! It was also pretty cold in my location, because the model's nipples were extremely perky.

One thing that I'm extremely angry at is, the fact that they did not card! My friend stole 2 cocktails and did not bat a second eye lash! D<
