Thanks for the idea
! I really wanted to some how use this despite it going to be a collector's item for me. I was disappointed after hearing that the MAC pans for their powders won't fit into the compact.
Will pressing loose face powders change their texture or anything?

Absolutely not worth it since you can't buy separate refills or any other powders in it.

Knowing me, if I bought it I would end up dropping it and having the powder break into a thousand pieces.
Anywho, I am not a MAC or Hello Kitty Collector but know that if I were, I would be all over it. It would annoy me not to have something like that in my "collection".

Really? I seriously hope it does go down to $70. There goes $20 I could spend on something else! Even though I love hk and MAC so much, I still feel guilty about wanting to shell out $90 for a frickin compact.

I will be so mad if it does get the 25% mark off!
I bought the holiday collection's 2 pigment sets and paid full price and then not too long afterwards they were all 25 %off grr!

It should be interesting to see how this goes down. Either they wont make enough for all the crazys willing to spend their money on it, or they will make way too many cause they were expecting more crazys than there actually are.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. The packaging is what you're really paying for, but even then, I think to myself, "well, I can probably stick jewels on a regular compact and call it a night." Although I am a hardcore HK fan, I wouldn't throw down $90 for something that I'm probably not gonna use.
I mean, even with the upcoming Hello Kitty Collection that's coming out Feb. 12th, I only pre-orded a blush. I restrained myself from pre-ordering the HK brush set as well cuz we all know that the travel size MAC brushes just aren't the same quality as the full sized ones. I don't care if the brushes themselves have "Hello Kitty" engraved in them. I can just buy some decals and stick them on the brushes I already own. Maybe it's cuz we're in a recession and I'm a broke college student is why I'm reluctant to spend money on any of the HK collections. But I keep getting this feeling that I should pre-order more stuff because it's most likely going to sell out.

I originally wanted the HK compact but when I found out how much it was gonna cost, I decided against it. Believe me, I LOVE me some LE makeup, but I am not going to shell out $100 for just one item. And I don't even like sheer mystery powders at all. I bought one with the Stylistics Collection a couple years back and I've only touched it maybe 3 times. But if you are going for the packaging and you can afford it, I'd say go for it. But I'm not interested. I could use that money to buy something more practical.

If I had the budget, I would buy it for the compact not the powder.

I did a pre-order for the compact and the two dazzleglasses today. I have no clue if I will follow through with getting the compact but I wanted to have it reserved just in case. Count me in as one of the crazy collectors!

hmm.. i think people are forgetting that this compact has Swarovski crystals on it when they say its overpriced. Swarovski crystals dont come cheap... and this item is of course, a luxury item and i imagine it would look beautiful on top of your dresser... kinda like those stylistic compacts last year.
if mac sold refills on their perm-line or if it was a universal size, people would be all over it. i know i would!! =D
im on the fence with this one as well... i would love a luxury compact, mac crystals and hello kitty =) but i would want to be able to keep it in use. i have a makeup bag so im not too worried about carrying it around in my bag. the problem is coughing up $90... hm.... and thats US... i wonder how much that is in canada? =(

Swarovski crystals are cheap to people buying them in bulk. Sephoras holiday gift card holder 2 years ago was covered in swarovski crystals and they gave that away for free.

honestly the cost of materials to make the packaging is dirt cheap I mean they're not using gold and diamonds to make the compact just chrome metal and swarovski crystals. $90 is just a little over the top...but its so pretty good think that HK C. doesn't come out until next month so I still have some time to mule it over
