Kim Kardashian West is turning 40 at the end of this month — and she’s celebrating the occasion with new makeup.

On Monday, her cosmetics brand KKW Beauty announced that its newest line, the Opalescent Collection, will launch on October 21 at 10:46 a.m. — the same time and date that Kardashian West was born in 1980. The company also shared a photo of the makeup mogul wearing a tiny, silver bikini top while sitting inside a giant birthday cake.

“To celebrate turning 40, I wanted to create a collection that was unique from the products and shades down to the packaging,” Kardashian West said on KKW Beauty’s Instagram page.

“As I was developing the product range, I thought of my Opal birthstone because there are so many different colors that come from the stone based on the refraction of light,” she continued.

Members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan often dress up in themed ensembles when announcing their latest makeup collections. In September, Kylie Jenner even dressed as a sailor in celebration of her nautical-themed summer line.

She wore a red-and-white striped crop top with off-the-shoulder sleeves, and a white sailor's cap with a golden anchor embroidered across it. Jenner also donned gold bracelets, a matching ring, an anchor-shaped necklace, and bright-red lipstick.
