A soft pastel spring collection of kawaii inspired colors and shades for lips, eyes &amp; nails. Every girl&rsquo;s dream has come true!<br />If you search online, you can barely find anything about it yet since it&rsquo;ll be launched this April. I just can&rsquo;t wait to get my hands on somer products and give them a try.&nbsp; Take a look at the artwork. So kawaii !

Allthought I&rsquo;m really not crazy about the font used, in my opinion it&rsquo;s not very kawaii or readable for that matter, they should of used a bubbly sweet font to complement the cute characters...<br /><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.thecuteinstitute.ca/storage/blog/quite%20cute%20LR.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1301316355700" alt="" width="481" height="696" /></span></span><br />Voici des characters on the ads: kawaiii bats, squid, panda bear etc...
