In celebration of Hello Kitty’s 40th birthday, a set of Hello Kitty face masks has been released. Turning you into your favorite feline while moisturizing your skin all at the same time, we foresee these masks being a big hit with Hello Kitty’s large female following all over the world.
The face masks will come in three different floral scents: rose, sakura and lavender. Each face pack features an adorable Hello Kitty wearing a face mask on the packaging. On top of being cute, the face masks apparently contain hyaluronan and collagen, and are extremely beneficial for your skin.
Each pack of the product contains two individual face masks and will only set you back around 864 yen (US$7.30). While they are currently out of stock on the company’s online shop, you might be lucky enough to chance upon them at a drugstore or souvenir shop. With the weather getting drier, these definitely came at the right time.
▼ “Hold on, I need to go put on my Hello Kitty face.”
As well as Hello Kitty, it has been announced that her fellow Sanrio friends My Melody, Kuromi and Kero Kero Keroppi will also join the face mask lineup next year!
Are you as tempted as we are to go get ourselves an entire winter’s worth of these face masks?
