It doesn’t matter how old I get, Hello Kitty always brings out the kid in me. That bulbous head, the cute little poppy colors, the adorable packaging … I just never tire of it. Now that doesn’t mean I’m going to deck out my house in Kitty decor. One, I don’t think my husband would appreciate it, and two, there’s just something a little less than becoming about a thiformrmm -year-old (ahem) donning the same cutesy hairpins as her toddler nieces.
Well, there’s nothing adolescent about the latest incarnation of Kitty madness: the Hello Kitty Noir Beauty collection.
A special limited edition collection for the Hello Kitty Beauty line at Sephora just in time for the holidays, Noir Beauty offers something for us more “grownup” fans. Bedecked in ebony and blood red hues, with no small amount of crystal encrusting, the Noir collection features goodies like the Big Tin Palette, showcasing a wopping 25 eyeshadows and 10 glosses; Liquid Nail Art in a Hello Kitty‐shaped bottle; Perfume in a blinged out glass bottle with atomizer; and a range of mirrors and brushes that’ll instantly glam up your vanity.
In celebration of Hello Kitty Noir, Sephora has designed a unique Hello Kitty Hotel Suite at the vintage Hollywood boutique hotel, Maison 140. In fact, the entire 40+ room hotel is decked out in Kitty goodness, from the vintage elevator to the black and white prints along the stairs.

Hello Kitty herself was on hand to introduce the Hello Kitty Hotel Suite at Maison 140 in Beverly Hills, Calif.
And now Maison 140 is offering a special Sephora Hello Kitty Noir Beauty Package starting at $320, only for the month of December. Reserve the Mandarin Room and receive the oversized Hello Kitty Noir Big Tin palette (a $180 value — and only 50 are available), a complimentary Hello Kitty Noir cocktail and breakfast for two.
