Don't be a douche canoe. Razz It's pretty obviously tied into their Sailor Moon fandom. That aside, some people enjoy working with make-up and shouldn't be judged for it.

I admit it, the compact does have a nice design. I would get it myself but I am a boy.

Forgive me for saying this but I think that this is a little over the top. I know that "Sailor Moon" is pretty good. Shouldn't something like this be geared more towards young girls who are the primary customers of this? I'm not trying to be sexist here but I think that using something like Sailor Moon's transformation crystal for an adult cosmetic is a little much for me.
I don't know if this'll be imported here but it seems to be really popular. This statement may get me banned,but I've got to say it,I think this Sailor Moon adult cosmetic thing is a little weird for me.

I know. I know they probably won't even be using it. Just having fun what they sounded like. Smile

It's for those ex-little girls who grew up with SM.

On another note, guess this doesn't sound as weird anymore, does it. Excelsior! Laughing

The original target audience of Sailor Moon which on the time was young girls and teens (in the case of the manga) are all adults now Razz Even the ones that saw the live version as kids. (for the most part) While the franchise still gets a young audience and the anime is a way to get to this audience, the original audience is the one that is paying for the new figures, the new versions of the manga and this Razz Razz

They already have children's toys and the like.

The fact is, the company and creators realized there was a great number of older fans, whom love the show and manga after all these years

Its the same as grown-ups cosplaying as the characters they love; its a fandom thing. It's is 99% likly that the people who buy this are never going to actually use the make-up. I wouldn't, if I knew where to purchase it.

Just because something is originally geared towards children initially does not make it un-enjoyable to all ages. Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Card Captor Sakura, and the many more with fandoms that exist even years after the series was created proves this.
