The Nickelodeon eye shadow palette from Hot Topic combines two stylistically retro components from the classic 1990s childhood experience, which ultimately make it an irresistible purchase for the nostalgic consumer. Not only does the cosmetic product feature character illustrations from a selection of beloved American animated series such as 'Rugrats,' 'Hey Arnold!' and 'CatDog,' it also comes in the shape of an analog legend — the cassette tape. In addition, the layout design of the cosmetic palette features the popular cartoon television network's signature orange color.
A perfect gift for a child who is enthusiastic about cosmetics or the nostalgic Millennial, the Nickelodeon eye shadow palette comes with ten distinct colors and neutral wearable shades, as well as an eye shadow brush and built-in mirror for portable use.
