Strayin’ Lipstick
Here are images of all six of Hello Kitty’s lipsticks swatched on my lips! 
I’ll have the lipglass swatches up in a little bit, once I’ve done them!
Big Bow Lipstick
Cute Ster Lipstick
Fresh Brew Lipstick
Fashion Mews Lipstick
Most Popular Lipstick
Cute Ster looks like my kind of lipstick! Does it have any dupes??
I can’t think of any off hand, but I don’t have a lot of sheers!
Big Bow, Fresh Brew, and Most Popular are on my list!
Thanks so much, Christine!
But of course, Reesa!!
You look awesome in every lip color, Christine.
Cutester is the one I’m getting. I have lots that are similar but I want the kitty packaging.
LOL!
What do you think is similar to Cute Ster?
Thanks Christine.
Cute Ster Lipstick!! I think I want that one instead of the other one I wanted. Strayin’ Lipstick looks pretty as well.
What do you like most about Cute Ster?
Love it!
if anyone knows, How does most popular compare to Party Mate lipstick from naughty nauticals?
IIRC, they’re not really similar, but I’m not 100% on that one.
I bought cutester lipstick yesterday, too. Reminds me of my Dior addict gloss in 224 or something, but cutester is sheerer. Very cute color and wearable anytime. I don’t like the rest of lipstick, not my coloring. I don’t like the gloss either, looks cheap n sheer. It’s like mixing your own art with tiny tiny glitter. Overall colors are kinda boring and not very hello kitty.
Most of the glosses are very sheer, so you’re totally right, Pat!
Most of the glosses are very shiny so youre totally right Pat!!!!!!!!!
strayin’ is fabulous! It looks amazing on yor lips!
Thanks
You look great in them! I’m dissapointed that Fresh Brew is so sheer. I wonder if the colors are buildable. Thanks for the swatches! And all that hard work, your twitter said you drove half an hour to get to the unveiling
Thanks, Angie! I try pretty hard to get them to as pigmented as I can, so this is usually 3-5 passes of the lipstick
Yeah, the mall isn’t THAT far in terms of miles, but it’s not easy to get to. Freeway at 6pm is slow and painful, but inside roads take at least a 30 minutes ’cause they’re about as jammed but more reliable.
LOVE the Most Popular and Cute Ster!
Gonna get ‘em?!
Gahh, I can’t stop staring at all of the swatches. I can’t wait to go shopping. So many gorgeous colors in this collection, and none of them are similar to colors I already have.
Uh oh!! Poor wallet!
Yep. I gotta wait till later to get a few of the items. I’m waiting on Big Bow and Most Popular lipsticks, Nice Kitty and Fast Friends lipglasses, Tippy blush and Girl Groove glitter eyeliner. Hopefully they will all still be there by the time I get more money. If not, I’ll have to find them on Ebay. I usually don’t end up getting the stuff that I wanna get later, but this time, I’m determined.
I hope they are! Maybe they’ll even turn up at CCOs!
Thanks, Christine! Your lip swatches really help!
Are the glosses coming next?
geez…it’d help if I read the posts and not just gawk at the photos…
Yes!
aww, I should ‘ve got strayin!
Next week
definitely, i just called my local mac counter & im going in tomorrow to pre’order the stuff i want including strayin’ & then pick um up on the 12th. thnnks christine! your swatches helps out alot! last nite was tooo pack’d I got whatever i thought would look good. lol.
YAY! Sounds great
Glad you were able to pick out what you wanted before it sold out!
Oh yeah, those events are insane, huh? I was actually really happy I just grabbed it all and went home to swatch. It surely would have taken me at least an hour or two to get all the swatches since everybody was trying to get to the displayer!
definitely. i called my local mac counter, & they told me that they’re doing a pre’order list which is great! so im goin in tommorrow to make my orders for the rest of the stuff I did’nt realize were nice untill i seen your swatches such as strayin’ & etc, last nite was too hectic&crowded that I was able to try any so I went for what i thought would look good! thnks christine! you swatches helped out alot!
No problem, Shanel! I’m really glad you can preorder so you don’t have to worry about them running out of what you want
You should of! I ended up getting Strayin’ and Fresh Brew…
I like Fresh Brew
At least that one is perm!
Seeing these swatches I’m now not sure about Strayin’, it actually seems a lot like Gladiola which I’ve got, but now really like Big Bow instead and still favour Most Popular.
I think I’m going to get Most Popular
Awesome! I like that one a lot
i try’d it, got it & love it!
highly recommended
Awesome! Now I’m also debating Big Bow too!
Nice! Let me know if you get it
Thanks for the fantastic swatches once again! Strayin’ and Most Popular are definitely on my list! I’m still on the fence about Fashion Mews…??? Not many can pull off light, frosted purple lipstick…
I’m betting that Fashion Mews would look really pretty with one of the lipglasses over top of it. Maybe Fast Friends or Sweet Strawberry.
Lavender lipstick looks GREAT with pink glosses over it!
Try a pink gloss over it, trust me
Love the first and last one
Will you be picking them up, Edda?
It’s kind of sad…none of these are really working for me. But I’m glad I know now! More money to spend on other things…the beauty powders are gorgeous…
lol, glad to save you some money, Kat!
I love Strayin’, but I actually have a very similar lipstick color from Sephora brand.
Nice! Glad you were able to find a dupe.
well, I don’t know about Fashion Mews now. It looks a little too frosty for me. I think I’ll do Strayin or Big Bow, or maybe both! LOL! Thanks for the swatches Christine!
It’s a little frosty. If you want a lilac, you could go for Lavender Whip from Cremeteam instead.
I liked the idea of Fashion Mews, but I don’t think I would ever wear it. I’m going to go with Big Bow and Cute Ster now that I’ve seen the lip swatches! Thank you!
If you pair it with a pink gloss, it’s really wearable!
Is Most Popular a fairly dark color compared to the rest? In other swatches I’ve seen it looks like a very deep berry, and I can’t pull off dark lips well. But here it looks much lighter.
Yes, it’s the darkest of the set, but it’s NOT what I’d call a particularly dark color. It’s not a vampy color at all.
Thanks
Fashion Mews and Big Bow for me.
HK will be my first-ever MAC purchase! I’m so excited!
Ooohh, congrats and welcome to the dark side
It’ll be Most Popular and Big Bow for me. They are both gorgeous, yay! I’d get Strayin too, but it is too similar to my pink YSL rouge volupte to justify bying it.
And it looks like I’ll skip on the glosses
Oh well, there will always be another collection.
Thank you so much for all the great swatches, Christine!
Yayy! Big Bow seems popular
I didn’t even think about it, but Strayin’ is similar to the Rouge Volupte!
I’m really liking Big Bow and Most Popular. The others are a bit light/frosty for my liking. But maybe if I can test them out with some lipglosses over the top.
I hope you get a chance to try ‘em out for yourself, Elle
I wasn’t even considering Fresh Brew before but you look amazing with that color so I may just be checking that one out. Thanks again so much mamas for sharing! Your posts rock!
Wow! I hope you like it when you see it, but no rush on it – it is perm!
cute ster and fresh brew for me.
Fun picks, Lisa!
Is fresh brew similar to Brew Lipstick?
Darker a lil’ bit, browner.
Christine, do you know if Cute Ster is similar to Pleasureseeker from Neo Sci Fi?
I think they may be similar, but I don’t think they’re dupes!
is strayin similar to saint geriman or how ever it’s spelled?
I do not think so, but I’ve never seen Saint Germaine in person!
Do you know of any dupes for Most Popular? Or Sweet Strawberry l/g?
I can’t think of any off the top of my head!
**do you know if most popular is by any chance similar to sweetie l/s? also…do you have flowerplay l/s by any chance? if so..is it similar to big bow? cutester similar to any mac l/s’s? sorry for all the questions..trying to decide which i really want…thank youf or the lip swatches! =)
Nah, it’s not. I love Sweetie, but Sweetie is a totally different color!
I don’t have Flowerplay, sorry
Big Bow is similar to Fun ‘n Sexy from Fafi from last year, if you have that!
is the lavender whip lipstick similar to the fashion mews one?what kind of finish do they have?
I believe she did a comparison because so many people had the same question. Check the previous posts. It was around 3-4 days ago.
Strayin will be miine! Thanks for posting!
Did anyone else find that the lipsticks break at the base really easily??? i’m exchanging all of mine tomorrow =(
And it wasn’t just mine… i noticed all the testers were broken… but just thought maybe people were being rough with them… boo =(
One of mine did, OMG!!
Which lipsticks go best under Sweet Strawberry, She Loves Candy, and Mimmy lipglasses? Thank you so much for the swatches. You save me so much money
jennifer. for sweet strawberry,you can do most popular.for she loves candy try fresh brew.and for mimmy do cute ster.i hope this helps.
Any of them, really… I mean, it just depends what kind of combination you’re looking for!
christine which lipstick is personally your favourite?? i cant decide between strayin..most popular..and big bow..
strayin catches my eye the most..but i never tried something so eye popping as that..im afraid it’ll be too much for me.. please help =]
I got strayin’ and I LOVE it… it’s a bright pinkish color and it’s a frost. If you’re light to medium skin toned, then it will definitely look pretty on you. If the color is still too bright for you, then you can tone it down with probably a paler or lighter shade lipgloss.
thanks so much for the reply Kayc! yeah im very light medium skin tone so hopefully itll look nice on me! you helped me made up my mind LOL
You’re welcome Melissa
By the way, Strayin’ also has good staying power.
I tested it out today… the pigment stayed on my lips even after eating and drinking. It’s a great lipstick!
thats awesome! im definitely getting it =D
That Is Fabulous I LLove This
I’m glad you like it, Kayc! It is really pretty.
Yep, I agree… very pretty.
and I wouldn’t have gotten it without your lip swatches!
thanks Christine!
Yay, glad they influenced you
Most Popular
Thank you Silvia! I got Cute-ster to go with Mimmy. Love it.
yay!they really are cute 2gether aren’t they.
Yeah, they are!
Cute ster and fresh brew are my kind of lipstick,
Did you pick ‘em up?
How do you think Strayin’ will look on NC42 skintone? I’m on the fence on if I should get it or not =(
I think it would look fine, Rani!
I got fashion mews and it looks awesome. Its the first color sold out.
I recieved strayin, tippy, nice kitty, fun and games, milk, bluegreen, and pretty baby today from nordies. I cant wait to play with it.
Thanks Christine for the swatches early.. is Big bow like fashion mews as far as texture and color deposit? Just wondering…
No problem, Susie!
Big Bow is different – it’s very sheer and not at all creamy. Fashion Mews has more color and a bit more creaminess to it.
hi, Chinetine ^^
which color you think better suit NC25-30, Lavender whip or Fashion Mews?
OPps I meant Christine. sorry missed spell your name was watching TV at the same time
I like Lavender Whip
thank you for your reply. I have two more question >_< I’m kind of new to the whole make up thing and never wear bold color lipstick before. I own lot of slightly sheer neutral color glosses and lipsticks so i was wondering what would you recommend for look with lavender whip? and I don’t know if you already did but can you please do a look with that lipstick? If you don’t mind. ^^
WOW i got cutester like a week ago and im almost to the little imprint!
i really love it
its the purrrrrrfect everyday color
i also love my pink fish TLC !!!!!
getting a back up 2day!!!!!!
Glad it’s such a great color for you!!
I find that most popular is too dark n bright on me!
I want it to look like the pic on here (the on lip picture)
any way i could make it appear sheerer and more pink?
help!
Thanks =]

Hi Jessica,
If you apply less it should apply sheerly… or else you can try to blot some off (like kiss the back of your hand).
Fresh brew is my favorite!
Nice
I haven’t worn it other than the swatches here, I don’t think, LOL.
i love this color pink is for girl
Fresh brew looks amazing!Is it really that nice or it’s just a picture.?I am planning on buying this one but don’t know if it will look good on me,since I am pretty pale.
It’s nice, I like it!
Hi!
Thank you!
I know it’s a bit late but i absolutely NEED to know if someone could find any dupe of Cute-ster. It’s so lovely and became my favorite shade for everyday… And I would love the dupe (or closest color) to be a Lustre too.
So if someone can help
Unfortunately, there’s no great dupe for it… Jubilee would be the closest lustre, but it’s not close IMO.
love cute ster its a pretty color…………(:
were do you buy these lipstick’s at?
They are no longer available, sorry!
cool! i love the colors! they are so cute
Anybody know a good dupe for Big Bow? I finally polished off my supply and I feel so naked without it!!
Maybe something like Lickable?
I found Big Bow at a CCO on black friday… how awesome is that?! Color and shimmer are beautiful. It’s the lipstick version of Totally It lipglass.
