AN APPLE A DAY TRIO OF TINTED LIP BALMS

Some things are just too cute to overlook. Some things like this limited-edition Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary An Apple A Day Trio of tinted lip balms. Adorable, right? (I know a manigeek who covets them apples.)

Holiday is always a big season for Hello Kitty, but this one spins on Hello Kitty's 40th Anniversary, as you probably know from Karen's Hello Kitty Kawaii Nail Set. I'm more about this Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary An Apple A Day Trio ($26 at sephora.ca and $20 at sephora.com), a trio of tinted lip balms in Think Pink, Natural and Red Delicious.

I know I'm supposed to be all grown up and stuff, but the pause-button appeal of these Hello Kitty Apple A Day balms is too much for me to pass up.

I defy anyone in a grumpy mood to stay grumpy while swiping lips with colour from one of these pomme-pots.

This is a Hello Kitty Ruby Solid Perfume Cocktail Ring ($35 at sephora.ca and $29 at sephora.com) and Hello Kitty Original Fragrance Ruby Roller Girl ($34 at sephora.ca and $26 at sephora.com).

An oversize vinyl Hello Kitty Milk Money Makeup Bag ($39 at sephora.ca and $32 at sephora.com) is a nod to the 1974 collector's edition coin purse.

Then there's this Hello Kitty Pop-Up Party Eyeshadow Palette ($62 at sephora.ca and $52 at sephora.com), which features 20 smooth, nicely pigmented shades.

The Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary collection also includes a playful makeup set called the Red Bow Beauty Diaries, as well as the usual blinged-out mirrored compact and hand-held mirror.

You know, I'm not really into Hello Kitty; my fondness for lip balm is the reason for my crush on the An Apple A Day Trio. Are you an HK fan? Or do you have Hello Kitty devotees to shop for this holiday season?
