All Sanrio fans, unite! Get your wallets ready, because Korea is taking the Sanrio obsession to a whole new level by Sanrio-coding everything from skincare, lifestyle products, to even collaborating with popular food establishments like Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts.

While the sheer volume of Sanrio merchandise may seem pretty overwhelming already, beauty enthusiasts will notice one very important category missing from the list above: makeup.

You read that right! We get excited just thinking about getting Sanrio makeup, and it appears that rom&nd has read our minds because they just released the cutest Sanrio collection on July 1st!

While rom&nd has gained international recognition for their incredible lip products, we can’t ignore their cushion foundations, and the addition of the adorable packaging adorned with Kuromi and My Melody only added to our faith in its greatness.

This cushion adheres ever so delicately to your skin, offering a refreshing and cooling sensation upon application.

  • Pure 21: Designed for those with fair skin tones and cool, pinkish undertones.

We’re not exaggerating when we say that rom&nd reigns as the powerhouse of lip products in Korea. The Glasting Water Gloss is yet another top-seller from their remarkable lineup, constantly ranking top five on Olive Young due to its ability to deliver the juiciest pouts.

What adds an extra dose of cuteness is the inclusion of glitters inside the gloss, reminiscent of the nostalgic Y2K era. You can apply it directly onto your lips or layer it over your favourite lip product for an enhanced shine.

While the Glasting Water Gloss is available only in Kuromi’s version, we did come across a My Melody gloss in their limited edition set, offering a special treat for collectors and My Melody fans.

Just like previous rom&nd special collaborations, they are treating us with a limited edition set that comes in the most adorable packaging resembling an old school Game Boy, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to get our hands on it!

Introducing the rom&nd x Sanrio Whatever Girls Edition, which includes two mini glosses which serves as the perfect lip toppers. Each gloss carries a slight tint based on the designated colours of the characters—purple for Kuromi and a pinkish coral shade for My Melody.

The true star of the show, however, is the Sun Cushion. Not only does it provide effective protection against harmful UV rays, but the iconic Kuromi skull imprinted on it also boasts a slight purple tint to help even out sallow and dull skin for a radiant boost.
