WOC - Hello Kitty and Kitty Kouture

[joshari]

So I am returning everything except my Brush set and the Fun & Games Beauty Powder Blush. I am really disappointed with the e/s, l/s and l/g. They just don't work.

sweet strawberry? hmmm

I was really hoping to like this collection, I went to the store re: the Sculpt Studio purchase I made, and was less than impressed by this collection. The shadows in the palettes seemed quite small and dupeable. More money or maybe the thrills of the LE's are over for me and I am satisfied with what I have. I must be sick

People Get caught up in the hype girl...It draws you in...It's good to be able to look at something and say...Nope I am not buying this just because everyone else thinks it is so great...I really don't like it and who gives a fart if it has a hello kitty on it...MAC capitalizes off us falling for the okie doke and hype...and most of do,..I have ...But I have made a conscious decison to only buy what I LIKE...Not Buy the HYPE

You took the words out of my mouth. I commend their marketing staff, I think I hype myself up only to see things and get sucked in

haha i seriously have not bought from any collection after cool heat because i have so much ill prob never finish wearing it in a lifetime but the HK i just had to because ive been seriously obsessed with hk wayy before mac. I was disappointed of the collection though I grabbed a couple ls and lg a blush too but the eye palettes made me sad they sucked I have most all those colors in one way or another!

I wish they had more original colors and that they had stuck to traditional HK look. Maybe a whole Sanrio collection in the future would be nice to see!

I told my bff it is so pathetic and I feel so embarressed and ashamed to feel this way about a BRAND...it is not even about the makeup anymore it's the BRAND....I am no better than a alcoholic or junkie...it's an addiction and I refuse to allow it to consume my life...my wallet and my thoughts....I have to make a conscious effort to say I have enough...and add a few pieces in moderation but I don't have to buy just because I have the money or just because everyone is hyping it up...MAC is the smartest company to date...They are very aware of their followers and they are very aware of what to do to make sure they never feel the pinch of recession....
Ok I'm done with my rant and off to shoe shop...Various Brands!! Not just one !! Uggg grrr MAC I have suce a love hate relationship building against you! The sad thing we all have colors that could probably almost create the EXACT same looks of every new quad that comes out....If we just get creative with our stash! I have over 200 MAC shadows and every CS palette...what the hell can't I create with those that I need more...Not a damn thing!

I have tried very hard not to get caught up in the hype! I ordered a lot but I ordered what I thought I would like after reading reviews and looking at swatches time and time again! I know

and knew I would spend a lot on this collection. I spent less than I first thought I would so, that makes me happy. Right now, I want to go to the counter and try Fun & Games because I really think I would like that one but, I'm trying to be a good girl.

i know exactly where youre coming from girl! I limit myself to 3 items per collection and if they are not dupeable. If i think that they will for sure end up in cco i dont even get it and just wait! My wallet had enough of my addiction!

oooooo a Sanrio collection would be amazing! I love Chococat, Charmmy Kitty and Cinnamoroll! A Chococat BP case would be soooo cute!

I heard the lucky Tom color was a bit chalky too?

Not only that but, MAC makes these large collections so there is bound to be something in it for everyone. They know they have people that just collect the makeup because the package is cute so they appeal to them and and by doing collections based around popular figures, real or fiction, they appeal to a whole new group, that may or may not be normal customers.

I have been wearing MAC for almost 10 years. I would buy what I needed and that was it but then back in about 07, I started paying attention to the collections and that's when all hell broke loose!! It didn't help that MAC, compared to alot of the other department store brands, is cheap!!

I can't really get mad at them for doing what they do. It's business but, I can choose not to buy. Easier said than done.

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ Heck no you can't be mad...They are Business Smart!!

buying it right now

thanks tish!

i do have to say it seems to me that this collection has gathered a higher return record.

 

[ShugAvery2001]

I didn't get any of the trinkettes.. I ended up spending 120 on both palettes, 1 pigment, 1 lipglass

dat be it

with the 50 bucks i spent on creme team i'm done for a while

(not including face products which i can handle picking up here and there)

 

[OfficerJenny]

Tish, I wanna see Fashion Mews on you <333
