Chiikawa reaches the makeup bag through minum’s character-edition eyeliner. Based on the brand’s ぷにゅグリップライナー, the designs pair characters including Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi with transparent bow charms and a hole for additional decoration.
There are a total of 5 designs in the series, priced at 1,265 yen in Japan. They were first launched in channels such as Chiikawa Land, and then gradually entered Japanese variety and beauty stores from late September. It is a co-branded theme that has been launched and is still attracting attention. It is not a new product that was launched for the first time in October. When purchasing in Japan, you still need to confirm the inventory at each store.
Key facts
There are a total of 5 collaboration designs, and the price in Japan is announced at 1,265 yen.
Featuring soft handles, holes for hanging charms and transparent bow accessories.
The bristles are marked 0.1mm; waterproofing is the product's claim, which does not mean that it will not smudge under any circumstances.
In addition to character design, first look at the way to hold the pen
The appearance of this eyeliner is similar to that of a ball pen, and its soft grip is what makes it different from ordinary slender pen barrels. The brand hopes to use this to improve the stability of holding and operation; for people whose hands are prone to shaking when applying eyeliner, whether it is actually smooth to hold has a more direct impact on the user experience than the character pattern.
Before purchasing, you can pay attention to the thickness of the pen barrel, the position of the handle, and the habit of applying force with your fingers. Even with extremely fine bristles, the final line is still affected by the angle, amount and operation method. The 0.1mm mark cannot be understood as meaning that everyone can draw lines of the same thickness.
The collaboration combines the character image with a transparent bow, and also retains holes that can be decorated by yourself. This design allows the eyeliner not only to be used when applying makeup, but also to have a recognizable personal style like stationery or pendants. It is suitable for readers who like to add character elements to daily necessities.
However, it should not be directly inferred that the five packaging styles represent five completely different eyeliner colors. This article does not list the complete character and color comparison that can be verified. When purchasing, you should look at the actual packaging labels to make it clear whether you want the character style, color, or matching accessories. Do not just place an order based on the online pictures.
The announced channels include Chiikawa Land and variety and beauty stores that are gradually launching it across Japan. The inventory of character co-branded products will change depending on the store. This article does not guarantee that a certain store will still be available, nor does it regard the Japanese selling price as the official price in Taiwan or the reasonable upper limit for purchasing.
The product's waterproofness, color retention and resistance to smudging are brand design requirements. You should still pay attention to the condition of the eye area and makeup removal method when using it. If purchasing as a gift, in addition to appearance, you should also consider whether the recipient is accustomed to the handle and eyeliner type; collection preferences and daily usability can be judged separately.
