Hello Kitty at Target

It's time for another post about Hello Kitty finds at Target! First up, some cute Kitty makeup items. I have only seen these at 1 of the Targets I generally frequent, and oddly, it's not even the biggest one. But I've seen some of the items pop up in other peoples' photos, so hopefully you might find these if you go look. They are already starting to run out at my Target, but here's some pictures from when they were brand new.

Cute 'endcap' display!

Lots of little makeup items here. Mostly things like lip gloss, nail polish, nail files, cosmetics pouches, stuff like that...

In the baskets, you can see some shower puffs and some disposable hand wipe type things.

It's all pretty cheap, in the $1-$5 range. Nothing *too* exciting from my perspective - I don't really like to buy Hello Kitty makeup, it's more aimed at kids. But still fun to look at!

I ended up buying a new hand mirror (my old one broke - the case part, not the mirror part, but still...) and a lanyard.

Here's the hand mirror. I love the design on this stuff! I wish I could come up with more things I could have a use for. It's sort of like the 'emoticon' theme (or whatever they were calling it) from sometime last year, but it's modified a bit...

I ended up using the lanyard for Anime Boston, which was fun!

The lanyard actually came with some lipbalm stuff, but I took that off...

The other thing that is new, but even harder to find are some new plushies. I saw these just before Easter, I think, and then they promptly disappeared. I finally saw a couple again recently, but they seem to disappear as fast as they appear. If I'd realized, I probably should've bought them all the first time I saw them! XD
But for posterity, if nothing else, here they are:

They're "Kittys of the World". There seems to be Japan, India, Russia, and the US.

I am totally amused that the US is represented by a cowboy, but I guess I don't really know what other kind of "regional costume" we might have...

I like the Japanese one, the kimono is very pretty. But I ended up buying the Russian one because she matches my other Russian Kitty plushie.

Here you can see her headcovering a bit better...

I'm hoping to find these guys one more time so I can get the Japan one too. It's hard not to want to collect them all! ~.^
