Let’s talk limited edition collaborations! ✨

This might be a bit long so bear with me 😅but I have seen some recent adorable collaboration K-beauty limited edition collections and it got me wondering what you Pickys feel about these releases 🤗 Which collaborations you would like to see in the future? Any specific {beauty brand x favorite character} in mind? Or do you have a memorable, favorite release from a brand that did a limited collection using a specific collaboration before? Any nostalgic childhood throwbacks? 💭Let me know! Last week, Romand came out with a new collection with Sanrio my melody that seem to be creating quite a lot of buzz. I know they’ve done limited edition releases with LINE friends, Anne of Green Gables and neonmoon before as well. It’s a brand that always seem to do a good job with creating pretty limited edition collections 💛 Another limited edition collection I caught (but sincerely missed out on due to sheer procrastination, at least here in Korea) was Manyo Factory’s My Pet release in collaboration with a Korean illustrator (@dami_grim) where some of the proceeds is donated to the organization Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA)! 👏🏼 Japan is obviously well known for their animations and characters, which naturally extends to limited designs for beauty brands and products. A recent collab I’ve seen on social media that I really wish I could get my hands on are the bottles of KOSE Softymo Speedy Cleansing oil with Pokemon design 🥲 These cute collaborative collections definitely have me wanting to buy cutely designed products because of the packaging. It is of course a bonus when limited editions are released with products I already know, enjoy or have been eying. But I think it can also be an extra fun way to discover new brands or unique newbies~ 🥳

I think the same! I was realy excited for the sanrio x rom and collab! But it unfortunaley probably wont be available to international fans for some time. So I'll have to wait🥲 I love the kuromi and my melody collab!!

Aw, I hope the collection becomes available internationally soon! 🥲Sometimes these collections are limited to domestic or regional markets, which is a bummer.. hopefully Olive Young global or Yesstyle will stock it! I know Yesstyle had some of the previous Romand limited edition collections on their website~

Its kinda sad since most of the collab stuff ends up being korea only! A minor detail was also the CLIO cat mesh cushion cover having the sticker, in korea they were also 3D i heard but the international ver wasn't which alot of the people were sad with

I used to be obsessed with Limited Edition releases, but there's always the next drop, the next collab. So, I'm kind of beyond that stage of ny life.

That’s fair. It’s an efficient marketing and sales strategy for brands to create demand with limited quantities/time periods, but the market constantly have new releases and hyped up campaigns so it’s overwhelming. I try to pick my purchases carefully!

I've been searching where to buy Romand & Sanrio collection, just found out that their sun cushion and the 2 mini lip glosses are only available on their Korean Romand website, the rest of the collection is easier to find on other websites (mainly Asian ones). They're not globally available, which is so 🥺💔
