EVENT: Meet Hello Kitty Designer Yuko Yamaguchi!

A few years ago, I got a chance to meet Hello Kitty herself at Japan Day in Central Park -- There's probably only one other experience that could top that, and that's to meet her mother, Yuko Yamaguchi!

Just a few months ago Hello Kitty released a makeup/beauty line at Sephora (is there anything you can't get with HK's face on it?) Next week MARCH 16th Sephora will be hooking up Hello Kitty fans with a chance to meet Yuko Yamaguchi and have her autograph up to 2 items!

But this isn't just one of those show-up early and get a wristband kind of events - you gotta shell out some mula. No problemo! The first 200 people to spend $35 on Hello Kitty products THAT DAY get a wristband and a guaranteed lifetime experience!

The lucky Sephora store is in downtown's shopping hot spot, SoHo!
555 Broadway, New York, NY (between Prince and Spring) [closest train - N, R]
(212) 625-1309


For more details, check out the events page for the Sephora store here.

Glad I got a chance to share this with you guys! Here's to hoping I can somehow sneak out of work and meet Mama Kitty in the flesh!

Hello Kitty X Sephora on eBay! ! !

Not sure how late I am with this news, but yesterday while I was doing my daily personal round on Facebook I stumbled upon Sephora's status about their auction online for Hello Kitty beauty products (and I'm not talking 5 year old's lip balm).  The auction, which started yesterday, contains some amazing (and expensive) VIP packages and items which include either a meet-and-greet with the HK creator herself, Yamaguchi Yuko, or an autographed HK beauty item.

Best part is, "100% of proceeds from the auction will benefit the Starlight Children's Foundation, to help children with serious illnesses and their families cope with their challenges." ( They've won me over ~ :3 ) Sephora Hello Kitty Ebay Auction Page

By the way, there's also an entire Hello Kitty Beauty Line coming out!~

Now while it says that the items won't be available online or in stores until the 27th of this month, I've already gone ahead and checked out their HELLO KITTY page and it looks as if some of these items have already hit the shelves and are indeed available for purchase on Sephora.com!

I'm extremely excited about these products and know that at least three of them are definitely on my list!
 For one, the brush set (pictured on the left) is a definite must have, especially for me. Not only am I a huge  HK fan, but I'm in desperate need of some new brushes.
The nail stickers and nail polishes definitely peak my interest and I'd love to grab some before the birthday on the 29th so I can rock these!


While I'm slightly skeptical about the quality, it does look more promising than the Tokidoki line.
Which prompts this question: Do you trust the quality of the beauty products that come from brands like Tokidoki and Sanrio? As cute as the packaging is, after a few in-store tests, I'm not sure I find it justifiable to shell out the money for some of Tokidoki's products. What do you think?

So tenoli lovers, which HK beauty items are you most excited about?
Any takers on the auction?


Stay tuned !~

SOUP

Found a site where you can dowload the SOUP Magazine scan.

I would still rather have the physical copy of the magazine. I want to try out one of the nail looks in January's issue soon, after I'm tired of the polish I have on now.
I'm really looking forward to buying some new polish at Sephora before the year's over :)

Do you guys have a favorite nail polish? Or is there any nail polish you want to buy?

Body Butter

Body Butter.

I used to hate the idea of it, but I realized that it's not something you use as an all over body moisturizer ( at least for me ). I find it works best on parts of my body that tend to be dry - feet & hands especially.

I got a sample of Sephora's body butter awhile back as a perk for being a Beauty Insider ( Passionfruit Guava ) It lasted me a long time, it smelled good, and it left my skin feeling really soft.
But, Apple Pomegranate has to be my favorite now. The smell is soft, which is something I look for in a moisturizer ( too strong a scent and it could overpower perfume or give me a headache ).
So if you're looking into getting body butter - do it! I know for a fact Bliss has really good body butter too, comes in a lemon or vanilla scent, BUT it's a bit expensive compared to Sephora's.

Till next time,
Out.
