Well, actually, it's been here since yesterday.
I've already picked up something from the collection: a lipstick in "Cute-ster." Very, very nice. In the tube, it's a light, pearly pink, but it's pretty sheer (Lustre finish), so it doesn't show up that bright on my lips.
As an Asian-American feminist, I'm well aware of the socio-political debate surrounding Hello Kitty (a gentle, cute Asian female with no mouth (although, it's important to note that Sanrio's backstory for Hello Kitty states that she's English...)). And I'm also aware of the existence of general Hello Kitty hate. What can I say? She's my guilty pleasure. Some people have drugs; I've got a mouthless cat and her arsenal of cute, little animal friends (actually, my favorite character is My Melody). Incidentally, I'm deathly allergic to cats.
Anyway, these suckers are going fast (the salesperson at the store, when I went to buy the lipstick, said to me, "You got the last one here! People are going to hate you!!!"), so if you plan to purchase, better act now.
