I'm not criticizing the people who are noting that they see a lot of repetition, and I'm not going to buy identical products just because of pretty packaging. But when you think about it, unless you're advocating a collection of blue lipsticks and green blushes (which I would adore), there's not much more MAC can do.

I disagree completely. There is A LOT MAC can do. I constantly see colors in other lines that stand out to me because MAC doesn't make anything like it. The perfect example for me is Smoke and Diamonds. How long did it take for MAC to make a shadow that looked like that? It was completely different than anything they had made before and that is why is was such a huge success and sold out so quickly. I passed because I had Stila Diamond Lil, which is similar and which I bought because at the time MAC didn't have anything close to it. And honestly it's not only that. There are colors all around me everyday that I wish I could find in a shadow or a blush or lipstick. When you also consider that MAC recycles names as well it really leaves me scratching my head. There is definite room for more innovation.

Re: MAC - Hello Kitty Feb 2009 Discussion

It cant be coming out in only Japan, the article confirmed a release date of the 12th Feb in US stores, and an international release in March.

Your friend was lying so that you wouldnt get it and she could have more!!

This year we had 35 LE collections or so

I love the Fafi quads, I think I am the only one, but I find the e/s to be nice, whereas tons of people don't like them at all. It's like when your favorite book becomes a movie - the movie can often be a disappointment b/c that's not how you imagined the characters to look like or whatever. So it's the same with this, I was personally really worried that it would look cheap and juvenile if they made white packaging. I was really unsure of how they were going to pull off HK looking good, in fact in the beginning of this thread I'm sure you could find me saying "umm, HK? No thanks" - but now that I see the final product, I'm very pleasantly surprised! So yea, it is not going to appeal to everyone, but hopefully there are aspects that you like, whether it is a single l/s color or the $90 swarvorski crystal powder or whatever.

ITA.I like the Fafi quads also,and all the other stuff in the Fafi collection as well.I thought it was gorgeous!Not only that,I remember being mentioned in a post about fashion week,along with orange lipglass,purple shadow and bright pink blush,a blue purple lipglass for Hello Kitty was also mentioned!

I hope so somehow! Sometimes I don't like it because it can be too much in a too short time for my wallet to stay healthy but I like the thrill about new products or colors!

Does anyone know if I will be able to purchase something online using my US credit card and have it shipped to my house in the US? I know its a silly question but I heard from someone that this may be an issue. If not, my SO has a valentine's gift already figured out.

You are coming to Belgium and I'm leaving Belgium (finally!). Anyways yes, you can order MAC online from any website that sells MAC and have it sent to your US address.
