The day has arrived, Hello Kitty has finally been released by MAC! I have been hearing about this collection since last fall and the secrecy around this collection is only rival to that of the Inauguration speech made several weeks ago. The pre-orders are in and everything that is left of the collection will be sold out by the end of the day. Hello Kitty is one of the only cartoon characters than women of all ages with pay top price for the memorabilia and will even make it onto the red carpet.
The big question will be, “Was this collection worth the wait, the secrecy, and all the hype?” Well, we are now able to find out. First thing to realize is that the collection is broken down into two parts, Hello Kitty Wild and Hello Kitty Mild.
The description from Hello Kitty Wild from MAC is, “The icon adored by millions around the world is causing a commotion with our special, limited-edition collection of colour, finishes, glitter and shine, and a fanciful range of exclusive, It-Kitty accessories: the season's most sought-after collectibles!”

Now for Hello Kitty Mild. This is the description from the MAC website, “Hello Kitty Mild, meet Hello Kitty Wild! Sweet and innocent or out on the prowl: when she's good, she's very good, but when she's bad, she's unmistakably M·A·C!” As we all know, I am completely Hello Kitty Mild but sometimes attempt to be Hello Kitty Wild, so this might be the better of the two collections from me

Plush Lash - A mascara formulated to instantly plump up lashes for extreme voluptuous effect. Works fast. Builds volume smoothly and evenly from root to tip. Delivers a silky, flexible, full fan of lashes. Fluid formula lightly coats lashes one layer at a time without smearing, smudging or clumping. Goes on via an innovative, specially patented wand with a v-shaped groove that prunes the bristles on one side while leaving the other side full and lush. The short bristles coax the lashes upward to an extraordinarily sophisticated yet flirtatious curl, while the other side separates and combs the lashes root-to-tip creating a long, well-defined glamour lash. Volumizing, lengthening, curling, lifting. This mascara features everything you want, with all the top mascara no’s: no clumping, spiking, smudging or flaking.
- Plush Black - black
Hello Kitty Lash - Exclusively created for the Hello Kitty collection, a half-lash with criss-cross overlapping effect on the outer corner. Provides the look of big, wide “kitten eyes.”

This collection also includes a range of other products with the Hello Kitty insignia on it, including makeup brush holders, charm bracelets, makeup bags and other items designed to appeal to the Hello Kitty lover. MAC really went all out on this collection, the packaging is amazing and even the lipsticks have Kitty printed right on them. If I loved Hello Kitty, I would buy every single product in both of these collections.
So what do I want? I will break it down by each collection. From Hello Kitty Wild, I want to get the Milk pigment, the She Loves Candy Lip Glass, and the Pink Fish Lip Conditioner. And of course, I want much more from the Hello Kitty Mild line. I really want the Plush Lash mascara, the Hello Kitty False Lashes, the Glitterpuss and Her Glitz Eye Liners, the Mimmy Lip Glass, and the Eye Shadow Palette.
This collection will inspire madness. If you want it, get to your local MAC counter now.
