The Tamagotchi Multi Carry Balm has been created as a series of lip balm products perfect for avid fans of the namesake digital pet toys to incorporate into their beauty routine. The product comes in a total of eight case designs that are each a replica of a different style of Tamagotchi toy and will reveal several different flavors of balm, depending on the style. The product is launching to coincide with the anniversary of the Tamagotchi Plus range that was originally released in 2004 and is thus marking its 20th anniversary.
The Tamagotchi Multi Carry Balm is being offered for purchase in Japan and has been developed by Creer Beaute, which is a lifestyle brand from BANDAI.
