KimChiChic Beauty Launches Limited-Edition Makeup Collection Inspired by Kim Chi's Debut Novel "Donutella Hamachi and the Library Avengers"

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global drag superstar and founder of KimChiChic Beauty Kim Chi just released her debut novel Donutella Hamachi and the Library Avengers, co-written with bestselling author Stephan Lee. To mark the occasion, KimChiChic Beauty is unveiling a limited-edition Donutella makeup and merch collection inspired by the book's colorful universe.

KimChiChic Beauty's exclusive capsule collection includes three collectible lip glosses, a Donutella "Kim-BuBu" stuffie keychain that cleverly holds a gloss inside, custom stickers, and a keepsake keychain. The non-sticky, hydrating lip glosses are available in three delicious flavors inspired by the book's superheroes: strawberry sprinkle donut, vanilla creampuff, and honey cinnamon donut.

Donutella Hamachi and the Library Avengers is a whimsical, semi-autobiographical story about courage, creativity, and self-discovery. Through Donutella's fantastical adventures to save a local library, KimChi and Stephan Lee share an empowering tale of friendship and identity that will resonate with readers of all ages.

"When I was growing up in Illinois, my local library was a really important part of my life," said Kim Chi, Founder of KimChiChic Beauty. "The book's heroes go on an epic journey to save their town's library from destruction. They do it with a lot of flair, and we tried to capture that sassy energy in our beauty capsule, which launches today."

The Donutella Hamachi and the Library Avengers book will be available wherever books are sold beginning September 30, 2025. The Donutella x KimChiChic Beauty limited-edition collection launches the same day exclusively at kimchichicbeauty.com.
