The beauty brand collab with the Green Day frontman was officially revealed in a series of Instagram posts.
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstong is collaborating with Kat Von D on a new range of eyeliner entitled 'Basket Case'.
The limited edition black eye-liner precision pencil with built-in sharpener was released in the US on Friday (January 5th) and is available for purchase from katvondbeauty.com.
It will be available in the UK and Ireland on January 19th and in various other territories in February according to an earlier post on the Kat Von D Beauty Facebook page:
It is priced at $19 and available at katvondbeauty.com and sephora.com.
News of the product first broke back in October after fans spotted a series of posts on Kat's Instagram story of a promotional photo shoot and some early glimpses of the products themselves which feature the trademark Dookie-era font associated with the band's classic single.

Needless to say, fans immediately took to social media to express their utter delight and, presumably, track down some 'American Idiot' video cosplay to complete the whole look.
