]]>MAC - quite cute: too cute!http://www.thecuteinstitute.ca/blog/2011/3/28/mac-quite-cute-too-cute.htmlTesha Beaudry2011-03-28T12:44:22Z2011-03-28T12:44:22ZI received this ad from a friend at work for the new MAC makeup collection: QUITE CUTE. A soft pastel spring collection of kawaii inspired colors and shades for lips, eyes & nails. Every girl’s dream has come true!
If you search online, you can barely find anything about it yet since it’ll be launched this April. I just can’t wait to get my hands on somer products and give them a try.  Take a look at the artwork. So kawaii ! I lovvve it!!!

As a graphic designer, seeing work like this makes me very happy and gives me hope that maybe one day, all these mega big companies will give artists like us a chance to shine. Allthought I’m really not crazy about the font used, in my opinion it’s not very kawaii or readable for that matter, they should of used a bubbly sweet font to complement the cute characters...

Voici des characters on the ads: kawaiii bats, squid, panda bear etc... ADORABLE! :) I like.

sorry for the low resolution images, I had to scan this ad.

I haven't been there yet but it's just a matter of time until i try some of those Harajuku or kawaii nails. The place is called: CANDY NAIL BAR it's on St-Hubert in Montreal. Check it out. They even offer private mani parties for a group of friends at a discount price. Very tempting!!!!!! (LOVE THEIR LOGO)
