MAC Hello Kitty Lip Conditioners in Popster (left) & Pink Fish (right) ($14.50)Check out my Hello Kitty reviews and swatches HERE.
The packaging on these is so cute! I'll definitely be taking Deb's suggestion and re-using these Hello Kitty printed tubs!
Popster & Pink FishWhile I must admit that MAC's Hello Kitty collection has turned out to be quite the stunner, for me the stand-out items have been the tinted lip conditioners--they're both very beautiful and amongst the most pigmented products in the entire collection. I'll skip the color descriptions since you can check them out (along with reviews and swatches of all of Hello Kitty) in THIS POST but suffice it to say that you should definitely check these out!
MissTiss had inquired as to whether these have the same somewhat chemically taste (from the SPF) that the other TLC's do, and unfortunately the answer is yes, but if you don't mind the taste of these I highly recommend them.,

Popster looks so good on you!
I LOVE the cute cases they come in. Unfortunately, our country (in Europe) has to wait for another month before we can see our launch of Hello Kitty.
I love the colours on your lips, especially Popster.
hi jen! Long time reader, first time commenting.
I'm glad you did these lip swatches! They are all so drool-worthy! You have such nice lightly-pigmented lips (I mean it as a compliment, I swear) that the colors look pretty and vibrant on you!
Thanks for the reviews & swatches again :)

Popster looks great on you, Jen!
honestly, i wasn't going to read this post today but my curiosity got the better of me.
then WOW!!! your lips look more than just beautiful!!! the colours are so nice! i hate Hello Kitty but the colours just WOW!!!
i think i need to check out this collection now.
OMG, the colors are both gorgeous! I think I'm going to need a back up of Pink Fish too... it's perfect!
I'm disappointed in the SPF taste you mentioned, but they are too cute to pass up and do look great on your lips.
I can't wait for all of my HK stuff to arrive! I keep checking Nordstrom.com every hour, but nothing changes... "backordered until 2/10."
On the bright side, my petite indulgence arrives today!
Thanks so much lilconstance! I'm still not 100% on it since it's a little bright for my taste but either way I'll be getting a lot of use out of it.
Birkinbagbeauty at least the month will give you the time to really figure out what you do and don't need from Hello Kitty--and you can check out everyone's opinions and swatches :). I'm seriously loving the tinted lip conditioners though so definitely check those out when they launch!
Hi D!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post your first comment here!
It irritates me to no end that when I purchase lipsticks that looked great on other people in their lip swatches, they look horrible on me and just so different--it's an endless source of frustration! But thank you so much for the compliment :).
Thanks so much for being a long-time reader and I hope to hear more from you in the future!
Thanks Soos! These tinted lip conditioners are surprisingly pigmented and really look great on.
LOL Jojoba you know you can't resist!
I'm not a big Hello Kitty fan myself, but I loved the black and white color scheme that MAC chose for her and just how sleek everything looked in the shiny black so I couldn't resist splurging! Plus the pink of course--I love the pink!
Definitely check out the collection even if you're not a Hello Kitty fan--the colors are all beautiful and very flattering.
Nicole I thought you might love Pink Fish! When I saw it on others I thought it might be too pale, but in person it's a really soft pink and would look great on an almost no makeup day, or with a dramatic smoky eye too!
The SPF taste isn't all that bad, but it's definitely there. I don't mind too much though because I love having a product with SPF for my lips.
I hope that you end up loving Petite Indulgence! The lasting power isn't amazing, but like the lipgelees it feels really really nice on and it has nice pigmentation.
Bummer!! I'm a lip licker (can't help it - so they won't work for me. Shoooot. I was loving the color of Popster. Oh well, I'll save money.
Thanks, Jen!!
I know you said that Popster looked rather garish on you in your review, but it doesn't look that way at all. It's actually quite pretty.
MissTiss I am too but I'm not too too picky about how things taste on my lips--as long as it's not absolutely disgusting I can live with it, and since the SPF taste isn't too strong (although it's definitely noticeable) I'm okay with it. Especially since I really like the shades!
Thanks Deb! I was thinking that it looks rather pretty in the lip swatch, but for some reason when I'm looking at my whole face in its entirety it just looks a little too bright and a little off. I've been wearing it more sheerly than I did on the first day I tried it (so the way it looks in this photo, and not more intense) and I've been liking it though.
Popster is gorgeous and it looks great on you!
Thanks Gio! Popster seems to be the more popular of the TLC, judging by the fact that it's sold out on Nordstrom's pre-order link!
So luscious lips! I especially love Popster.
Cheers!
can you do a creme cup review? :)
Awww thank you Jess! <3
Hi Anonymous!
Unfortunately I don't own Creme Cup but I do have a swatch of it up, and it's one of my favorite Creme Team lippies--it's such a pretty soft blue-based pink that's going to be the perfect neutral lip for so many of the MAC lovers out there! I do hope to own it soon though!
i love both the colors on your lips! hope to see lip swatches of the 6 lipsticks. love ur blog. :)
Hey Katrina! I have swatches of Cute Ster and Strayin' up, but unfortunately those are the only two lippies I have from this collection.
BTW you're gorgeous!!!
I just order both of these online last night and i'm so glad i did! The only mac tlc i ever had was disney's tempting tillie, can't wait to try these!
Lins these are my first TLC's and I'm so glad I indulged in both!
Love the colour of pink fish!
Thanks TML--I'm really crazy about it!
Oh I saw a swatch for Pink Fish and fell in LOVE so I got it...I plan on buying more!!!!
Misti it's my favorite item from the Hello Kitty collection!
I just bought Popster but I think I need to go back for Pink Fish...
Asiyakei I was just going to say in your previous comment that you need Pink Fish too! While Popster is beautiful, Pink Fish is my true love!
Hi Jen - I just got Pink Fish the other day and it makes my lips feel tingly. Did you experience this?
~newbie but already addicted to your blog!
Didi OMG yes I do! I just chalked it up to my dry lips or thought perhaps I was imagining it, but there's a distinct, not entirely pleasant tingling sensation. I'm thinking it may be the SPF that causes it? It's nothing uncomfortable but it's definitely there.
Awww thanks so much! I hope you've entered my Hello Kitty Nice Kitty Giveaway! (link at the top right)
These are super pigmented for TLC!! Popstar looks so awesome on you! I was afraid of it when I saw it in the tub and the packaging is too cute!
Lisa these are both gorgeous and so hydrating too!
