Hello Kitty Makeup GWP at Priceline

I walked into Priceline yesterday and noticed that there was an amazing gift with purchase offer at the Hello Kitty Makeup stand! The Hello Kitty Makeup Collection launched a few months ago at Priceline and that was when I took advantage of the Hello Kitty plushie they offered, you can see my haul here. This time round, there is another GWP offer (which I think may have just initiated) where you could receive a cute Hello Kitty leather-like pouch in either metallic pink or black for free with the purchase of any Hello Kitty Makeup item. 

There were limited edition products available such as the cute round compact mirror (A$10), retractable brush (A$12) and sharpener (A$6). I ended up getting the compact mirror because it was large, lightweight and very slim (perfect for my handbag) and I received the black Hello Kitty pouch for free. 

I'm not sure when the offer will end, so I assume it will be until stock lasts. If you're going shopping any time soon, be sure to check out the Hello Kitty Makeup Collection at Priceline and get your paws on the adorably cute Hello Kitty pouch!

Have you tried any products from the Hello Kitty Makeup Collection?

Gold Strip Half Moon Mani with Bloom Cosmetics and Hello Kitty

The half moon mani has become so popular these days that I decided to attempt this look using Bloom Cosmetics *'Sunday' nail polish and Hello Kitty Cosmetics 'Gun of Roses' nail polish. I also decided to emphasise the half moon by using the pointed tip of a bamboo skewer to apply Bloom Cosmetics *'Goldie' (opalescent gold) nail polish. 'Dabbing' the baboo skewer across my nails using the shade Goldie gives the effect of gold Christmas rope tassels.

Are you in the craze of half moon mani's?

Which combination's of shades would you reccomend wearing this holiday season?

Review: Hello Kitty Gun of Roses Nail Polish

The Hello Kitty Collection launched recently and exclusively at selected Priceline Stores. I was so excited and thrilled that the Hello Kitty Collection had launched. You could read more about my recent haul HERE. 

Hello Kitty Gun of Roses

The Hello Kitty nail polish range comes in a variety of glitter, matte and sheer shades. There were, of course, a couple of pink shades and Gun of Roses is one of them. Gun of Roses is a more intense/bright pink shade than what you see in the photo above. I would describe this shade as a Barbie Pink. Very pink and girly!

One application of Gun of Roses resulted in a partially opaque finish with streaking, so a good 3 to 4 coats would provide a completely opqaue look as shown above. Due to applying more than the usual 2 coats of nail polish in general, I noticed very slight chipping on the third day of wearing this polish (with a base coat and without a top coat). Also, a full size bottle contains 8ml of product and costs $9.95.

The print of Hello Kitty at the front of the nail polish bottle looks very cute and I really like the fancy font. At the back of the bottle, the list of ingredients, barcode and other details are printed on a sticker. The top sticker is actually placed on an angle, so I wasn't impressed with the labelling of the stickers. 

Overall, I would only continue to purchase nail polish from the Hello Kitty range if there is a shade I really like.

Hello Kitty Collection at Priceline + CUTE Haul!

Hello Kitty = Cuteness!

I was quite excited to hear that the newest makeup collection which launched a couple of weeks ago at selected Priceline stores in Australia was the Hello Kitty Makeup Collection! I was completely surprised to hear the news about this as it never occured to me that there would be an entire line of Hello Kitty makeup at Priceline!

I was a huge fan of Hello Kitty during my childhood years and I loved anything to do with Hello Kitty. As I’ve grown older I’ve been a little distanced from Hello Kitty and would just admire how cute Hello Kitty is! 

Well, until now, I think I’ve gotten back into my Hello Kitty craze!

  

I went to Priceline on Elizabeth Street, Brisbane City (the only Priceline of the three in the city which stock the HK Collection) and there was a promotion going on. Purchase two items from the Hello Kitty Collection and receive a Hello Kitty plush toy :) How could I not resist to this?! 

Decisions decisions! I wasn't sure which product to try as it is a new makeup line and I had no idea of the quality and lasting power etc of the colour makeup. I loved the metallic pink packaging of the compact powder foundations, however, they didn't have my shade in stock :( So, I purchased a nail polish in Gun of Roses (Bardie Doll) for A$9.95 (8ml) and matte lipstick in Bollywood (HK08-04) for A$12.95 (3.5g). I very much preferred the black packaging of the lipstick so that narrowed down my choices!  

The Hello Kitty Collection at Priceline looks very sturdy and of course cute! The metallic pink packaging looks very girly but also chic. I like that some of the products have the black packaging and I think it gives a sleek and sophisticated look. I must the packaging is purrretty fantastic, though the size of some products seem just a tad small. 

The Hello Kitty Lipsticks come in two types, Shine & Kiss Lipstick (metallic pink packaging) and Matte & Kiss Lipstick (black packaging) . These lipsticks are small in packaging, though the amount of product is 3.5g which is average (e.g., Chanel Rouge Coco Lipsticks are 3.5g, Benefit Full-finish Lipsticks are 3.0g, Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks are 3.7g).

Matte and Kiss Bolloywood lipstick is a very common fuschia shade. It's a common pink shade and I can confidently say that this shade would suit any skin tone. The formula feels very moisturising and despite the fact that it's not long lasting, my lips looked like they have a stained fuschia/pink hue. Bollywood sure is a very girly pink shade that I love!

Hello Kitty Gun of Roses, oh I love the name of this shade! You can see Gun of Roses popping up in the top far right of the photo above. The shade is a pretty pink which again is a common shade of pink. I'm going to write a separate post on this nail polish with photos etc, so keep an eye out on my review of Hello Kitty Gun of Roses Nail Polish!

Hello Kitty Collection is exclusive to selected Priceline stores in Australia. All products are made in Paris, France, and each product has the official 'Sanrio' logo. The Hello Kitty Collection ranges between A$9.95 and A$14.95.
