Sephora introduces an old childhood pal in a very chic “grown-up” way. Everyone knows that “girls just wanna have fun,” and now we can, with this adorable limited edition collection, created with charming designs and luxurious formulas infused with ingredients you’re going to love.

Think Judith Leiber meets MAC’s 2009 collection meets “somewhere in the middle of cute and refined.” That’s the new Sephora Hello Kitty, which hits stores in January 2011, 36 years after Yuko Shimizu created the popular brand in Japan.

There’s mirrors, makeup brushes, eyeshadow, lip gloss, and more on it’s way. Hello Kitty Beauty is the ultimate must-have. The line is launching next month, but we wanted to give you an early sneak peek. Is your inner kid squealing?

(In all stores and online in mid January at Sephora.com)

Are you a Hello Kitty fan? Did you go ape over the MAC Cosmetics launch? Will you stand in line to buy this?
