The People here are really nice and informative. They are also having a sale this weekend January 15th(11:00am-8:00pm)-16th(12:00pm-6:00pm)Items will be priced $15-$30 bucks. Below is a picture of what they generally carry.

Item: Flirt "Dreamy Eyes" Eyeshadow
Commnets: I brought the Flirt eye-shadow in Gypsy Nights, usually I buy cheap eye-shadow like drugstore cheap, but I was in Kohl's browsing around ended up buying this item. Tried it and my review is, its very pigmented and smooth, but doesn't blend smoothly with other colors well, maybe this depends on which tool you use? I used two different tools and found blending a little difficult, but what I really do like is the mirror, the bold colors, and how the color blended into the skin, didn't loose color, where other products I used lost 50% of the palette color when applied to my skin.
Rating: 3/5
Cost: $12.00

There are not just one, but two lines to cater to every girl/woman with the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture Collection.
The Hello Kitty Colour Collection includes a wide range of lipstick, Lipglass, tinted lip conditioners, eye shadow palettes, pigment, eye liners, Beauty Powder, nail polish, mascara, and false eyelashes all in bright shades such as pinks, turquoises, lavenders, and greens. These items will each retail between $11 to $38, very affordable for such a limited edition collection!
The Hello Kitty Kouture collection is a bit pricier, which includes Dazzleglass and Sheer Mystery Powder, both of which feature silver packaging and have hints of Swarovski crystals to top it all off. The items in the Kouture collection will retail from $28 to $90. Great novelty items for HK lovers.
In addition, the Hello Kitty collaboration includes accessories like makeup bags in two sizes, a plush doll, purse mirror, three-brush collection, a mirrored key clip, bracelet, tote, and a soft vanity kit - retailing between $16 and $55.
H&M is proud to announce that the next guest designer will be Matthew Williamson, the British designer whose colour-drenched collections always carry the promise of the sun. Starting with an exclusive women’s fashion range at selected stores April 23, then continuing with the perfect men’s and women’s pieces for Summer available from mid-May in all H&M stores world wide. In an exclusive for H&M, Williamson will debut his first ever menswear pieces.
“It is an incredible opportunity to be working with H&M, creating a ‘Matthew Williamson for H&M’ capsule collection. I love the fact that H&M have created a new phenomenon in fashion through the pioneering concept of collaborating with high-end designers to create one-off limited edition capsule collections. I am thrilled that my creations for H&M will be accessible to and hopefully enjoyed by so many people around the world,“ says Matthew Williamson.
“Matthew has such a good eye and a way for working with prints that he mixes up in a new way. When he combines these things, you get a very contemporary London look. It’s for people who want to look special, but his clothes can also be worn in a nonchalant way- you can really play around with them. He is fantastic with piling on colour - it’s a very stylish collaboration for H&M, and very much in line with the way we’re thinking about fashion for spring/summer,” says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative advisor at H&M.
Matthew Williamson burst onto the London fashion scene in 1997, with a colour-drenched collection modelled by Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Jade Jagger. Since then, Williamson has brought the party lifestyle of the global traveller to the catwalk, an Ibizan spirit of colour and freedom that he now shows at New York Fashion Week. His clothes are worn regularly by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow, and last year he was honoured with an exhibition at the Design Museum in London - “Matthew Williamson - 10 Years in Fashion”.
