MAC Hello Kitty Beauty Powder Blush in Tippy ~Swatches and Review
Hello Kitty Beauty Powder Blush in Tippy is absolutely super cute and waaayyy pink. Every time I open the darn case I have a huge smile. I don’t know what it is about a dark and mysterious kitty that makes me grin from ear to ear.

Review:
The case is just beyond cuteness. It screams “I’m an all grown up Hello Kitty”. I feel like this is a great way to celebrate my two loves: Hello Kitty and MAC. I am very happy to report that not only is this perfect for HK lovers, but the color pigmentation is absolutely intense. I had to “water” it down by using my MAC 188 brush and an extremely light hand. If I didn’t do that, then I would have been walking around like Raggedy Ann. YIKES!
This beauty powder blush is perfect for:
- Those of you who liked MAC’s sweetness but want one with a little bit more of a frost
- Those who love Dolly Mix but wish it was a bit cooler
- Of course Hello Kitty fans !!!
I am also happy to report that the case itself has glitter mixed into the plastic and the Hello Kitty image is not a sticker. So it won’t be peeling off anytime soon. If I had to compare it to Last Year’s Fafi Launch this pink is softer, smoother, cooler in tone and darker.
I am also excited because not only has MAC and Hello Kitty teamed up to make a Special Launch. This blush is a complete success unlike the collaboration with Tokidoki and Smashbox. Can we say fail!
Comparing it to other MAC Blushes
- Sweetness- Tippy is extremely close to this color in shade, but has more of a frosty base to it.
- Fashion Frenzy- Tippy is a bit darker and more frosty. Fashion Frenzy appears to be a bit drier in texture, you can even hear the difference when you swatch it on your hand.
- Dolly Mix -This is more of a coral-pink compared to Tippy’s blue base color. Both are frosty.

Yay THANK YOU so much for this! I pre-ordered Tippy and now I’m glad
Do you have any thoughts on how it would compare to the Don’t Be Shy blush from Barbie? That’s the only thing I have that I’m worrying might be too similar!
thanks so much for this! i already have dollymix and wanted to see how similar they were.
Hey Guys!!!
Brooke, I don’t have that blush from the Barbie Collection. Wish I did though
How did you already get something?! I’m so afraid it will be sold old even though I plan on being at the MAC store on Feb 12th.
Yay! so cute. Now this will be one of the things i’ll buy from the HK collection. Thanks!!!=]
how can pre order?
Mily: You can call any of your local Mac/Nordstrom’s/Macy’s and ask if they are doing preorder. Some stores are and some aren’t. You tell them what items you want, give your credit card info, and then when the collection comes out you go pick up your held items and don’t have to worry about what you wanted selling out!
I like tippy and dolly mix, I can’t wait!!!!!
XOXO Sarah
what exactly is a beauty powder?
hi pb, hey i was just wondering what brush would u recommend for MSF soft and gentle? (or other MSF…..because I just bought petticoat but don’t know which brush to use to apply it). Hope u can help
Hey pinkyboo-I would use the MAC 109 or the MAC 188. Any blush brush will work
