Thank God for this! That’s what I’m talking about…YAY! And the good news is that I have both a MAC store and a Nordstrom’s to turn to…How exciting for the dazzleglasses!!! But it’s kinda weird that it’s so far behind from the original Hello Kitty, I would think they would be launched at the same time. Oh well, more time to save $$$!

I wouldn’t be surprised if March 5th is an old date and it’s been moved up by now! MAC isn’t really known for sticking with their launch dates, LOL.

Hinote

I just came back from RSVPing for Feb 3rd at the MAC store at Eaton Centre (Toronto) and the MUAs there said that Kitty Couture was going to be available at the launch party.

Melodie

I have also RSVPed for Feb 3rd at MAC Pro store in Dallas, Texas. From what I was Couture was also going to be available!!! So dido Hinote!!! Sooooooo excited!!!!!

vicki

Me too! I still haven’t used up my stylistics one but eff it I’m getting it. I want all the girls in the bathroom to be jealous when I pull out my shiny compact!

Jennifer

I have my Stylistics one too that I havn’t used up, but this is gorgeous! Does it come with a refill too? That would be cool because maybe the Stylistics refill would fit in this one. Hopefully its not as heavy! I like Hello Kitty but I’m a huge cat lover so thats the appeal to me >..<

They’re Swarovski crystals, which I guess aren’t cheap (not that I really understand why), but yeah, that’s what the sparkles are 🙂

Jennifer

My mom collects Swarovski crystal cats and she’s paid $200CAN or more for some of them, so thats where the cost comes from, if they are om the compact.

DevilishDoll

I wouldn’t care if those things were diamonds, they wouldn’t be getting $90 out of me for 1 item. Their prices are already ridiculous.

Art

doesn’t it suck having such a price different between the UK and the US? Sighh.. i feel so bummed out sometimes, we never get an Friends and Family sales! 🙁

GretaluvsMAC

Holy Moley!!! I HAVE to get a mystery powder for the sake of collecting and a dazzleglass!!!! MAC why do you do this to me???!!!! I am trying to save up to go 5* to at LEAST 2 NKOTB concerts this summer!!

Jessie

i think I just died and went to heaven. Hello Kitty is one of my favourite things and having it paired with MAC is just so amazing. I like this line because it’s more ‘true’ Hello Kitty than the other line which has like evil black Hello Kitty 🙁

Tanya

gaahhhhh sooooo cute!! I wonder if the PRO discount will apply! The last two collections it didnt 🙁 (Dame Edna and the brushes from Monogram)

I am really curious about the mystery powder. What is the powder actually like? I know its a previously done LE item but I havent tried it before.

I think I will skip the Dazzleglasses mostly because I dont like the idea of a dangling thingy when I am applying a gloss. My Monogram brush has a dangling thingy on it and it drives me nuts…..sooooo annoying.

I had a few people email asking me about the PRO discount so I asked some MAs, and they’ve all said no thus far!

Jessica

I am super excited and planning on getting both Dazzleglasses. For collection purposes, plus a use here or there. It’s not overpriced at all, it has swavorski crystals come on! They are only a 4 dollar difference from NARS L/G which everyone love.

I LOVE HKK!

KaylaK

Yeah I’ll be getting my dazzleglass on! Powder it’s a little ummmm, unsure about right now! The compact looks gorg but still $90?! I don’t know I’ll have to wait and see about that!

Lena

This must be a joke. They want $90 for a compact. Ah, I suppose they don’t know millions are being affected by layoffs and the economy. MAC is testing out it’s feelers for being the Grand Dame of Cosmetics by just putting this “Hello, Give Me Your Money”. I mean Hello Kitty idol on it. Forget about it.

HoTPiNk2

The only thing I really like is the powder compact. I’ve been a fan of Hello Kitty since I was 9 years old, but $90??? I don’t know how I’m going to convince my husband to justify such that amount of money in just one makeup item 🙁

Alannah

The Stylistics one was, so it’s possible in my mind! Then again, maybe it’s $90 because of the crystals so I guess we’ll see. 🙁

Lix

I’m actually more of a HK collector than M.A.C….. I’m definitely willing to blow $90 on this compact. Most compacts are refillable… right? I can just replace the pan?

saira

oh my god i am going to spent alot of money in this collection. but the compact toooo much money i think it should be like 50 dollars not 90dollar

michelle

Oh my goodness! How adorable is this line?! Just in time for my bday!!!

I def. want one of the lipglosses. And I just don’t know if I want to shell out $90 for a compact but..damnit Limited Edition!!

nikki

90$ for mystery beauty powder? seriously mac, seriously? i wonder how long till those crystals start popping out of the compact. so not worth it, good luck to everyone that buys it. hope it’s worth it for ya’ll.

Brianne

pfft $28 for a lip gloss? I don’t care how cute the packaging is, the package is just trash after I’m done using the product as far as I’m concerned lol. No thanks on this portion of the line :/

Christine

Yeah, it’s just MAC. I’d rather go for a YSL Golden Gloss if I’m paying that much!

Besides, the packaging can be used for B2M, so it *is* better than trash, by a lil’ bit! 😉

Arshia

The reason why this compact is so damn expensive is cuz swarovski crystals are the best crystals in the world and i know this because i work at swarovski crystals and nothing is less than 25 dollars and even that is SOOO tiny!

Farrah

Please tell me that $90 compact is refillable!!!!!!!!!! It would suck to buy it and then leave it hanging around with no product! That is something I’d like to carry in my purse all the time!

Adriana

It’s LOVE at first sight. It’s my new obsession. I can’t wait to get my hot little hand on this collection, February 12th seems so far.

LocaLoli

Christine im curious about the mystery powder. Have you ever used it or swatched it? what is your opinion of it? I use MSF natural I don’t use foundation so im always interested in powders. The compact is beautiful and I know that swarovski crystals are expensive so it almost makes it worth it because from what I gather the mystery powder compacts are usually refillable. But if the powder is bad then i wouldn’t pay that much for the compact at all no matter how cute. Do they come with an extra refill other that what’s in the compact? can you buy just a refill? because ive never seen any compact refills for sale. Sorry for all the questions and long post but I don’t know who else to ask. Thanks for your time.

I’ve used it — I don’t love it. To be honest, the shades suck if you aren’t a match, since there are only three shades available. The powder itself doesn’t do anything special for me, and I’d recommend MSFN over it any day of the weke. All of the previous ones have come with a refill, but I have not a clue if you can buy them separately.

LocaLoli

Thank you. It is hard to top MSFN isnt it? I wont buy the compact if im not going to use the powder but I will be getting the dazzleglasses. Im ny eyes dazzleglass can do no wrong and if I can love comet blue I can love anycolor. 😀

mrs.tinkz

the collection is actually being launched valentines day not no march and i have an appointment go get your appointments right away to your nearest m.a.c. store!

The color collection is coming out February 12th, but the Kitty Kouture is still slated for March 5th from what I’ve been told!

jennifer

omg!!! I can’t wait.. I am so excited about both collections the kitty and the kouture.. I am so getting both… love!!!!! it.
thank you mac..

Lish

I just left the launch party in Soho…sooo fun..but soooooo crowded. I purchased three things retailing at $45 (total)

I purchased: Fast Friends Lipglass
Fashion Mews Lipstick
Big Bow Lipstick

If I had $250

I would get the HC doll, all the make up cases, the compact mirror, and the brush set

Carron

Just saw this link, just had a heart attack! OMFG!!!

OK, breathe..i want it!!!! (wails to anyone that will listen)

Dazzleglass, not a huge fan! but a charmed lipstick?? I am THERE!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

ps. please excuse the screaming…i am a MAC junkie, the first step is understanding my addiction……

Sandy

Yay! Kitty and M.A.C. two worlds collide and make something cute and fun. The color black keeps it from being overtly cutesy, or childish. I am an avid HK fan since I could remember. The only thing that could top this is a Strawberry Shortcake (the original one) LOVES M.A.C. collection, that would be out of this world. ^_^

Miko

I can’t wait for this to come out! I LOVE HK!! I’m def getting the compact & a dazzleglass.. But I really hope the compact is reuseable with other powder refills.. If you know if it is refillable, please let me know! 🙂

Kay~d

nope…they aren’t!! and that sucks…seeing as your paying so much!!! and its not like the other compacts like hello kitty and Scfi…where as you can swap the two…(fafinettex3 and RicoLuvsMac..Via Youtube)…they show a wonderful way in doing so!!! but this is metal!! so once its in is in!!

roxy

Sadness that most of the makeup bags & the mirror are sold out. I was at a MAC store on Tuesday & was told other than the Kouture launch in 2 weeks, no more shipments of HK are being sent to any store or counter. So grab what you can now!
Am totally getting my compact & Dazzleglass – woo!

Eva

Hi I’m a little bit confused about the release dates i live in ireland and the normal hello kitty launch date is the 4/5 of march soo would this be coming out in april so here?

Christine

Kitty Kouture is March 5th, but the regular collection came out on the 12th, I believe, of February… so it should be coming to you in March!

Liana

I will be so dissapointed if the dazzleglass has the same amount of gloss as the cremesheen Glass did. I hope they dont rip us off becuase of the fancy packaging.

Kay~d

cute…but is it a must have??? I mean only the ladies in the rest room will see it …lol…when ur touching up ur make up!!! i think i might skip this one!!!

dedra(maclove1)(dedralovesmac)

hey,its online now march 3rd 😮 ……i only got a compact.a ma told me the gloss is a small amount in it :/ shoot i like it but 28.00 plus tax no thanks ,xD but i did just spend 96.00 on a compact lol o well.

kimberly

I’ve been in the store. There is a pre-sale going on now. I saw the compact and the dazzleglasses. The crystals were already falling out of the store samples after only two days of display. I am positive that carrying one in your purse will cause the crystals to dislodge and otherwise ruin an already overpriced MAC item. Unless you plan to keep this as a collectible then I would advise to not buy this.

Karla

I’m glad the is a make up outlet store by me. I waited until they got the Hello Kitty Line because all of it was 30-50%. I got the compact and lip conditioner for 50 bucks.
