The beauty products from Dunkin' are packed in sets that are designed to look like takeaway containers and can be purchased at participating Dunkin' locations for $6. While both of the lip balms are sweetly scented, the orange lip product is said to have a smell that's extremely reminiscent of marshmallows. The limited-edition donut lip balm sets are only being introduced for a limited time, although the item is proving to be so popular that it is already selling for more than double the original price on [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chemistry-brand). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Scented Lip Balms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop scented lip balms inspired by other popular food items. - **Limited-edition Beauty Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create limited-edition beauty products that are tied to a specific season or event. - **Reselling Limited-edition Items:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an online platform for reselling limited-edition items at market-driven prices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate food-inspired scents into the beauty and personal care industry. - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with beauty brands to create food-scented products for the food and beverage industry. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an e-commerce platform exclusively for buying and selling limited-edition beauty products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Donut-Scented Bodycare Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-x-dunkin.md) - [Meal-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smac-and-cheese.md) - [Donut-Scented Collaborative Bodycare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-and-native.md) - [Gourmand Fragrance Lip Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanolips-original-101-ointment.md) - [Summer-Ready Lip Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarte-cosmetics-1.md) - [Pastry-Scented Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-softening-balm.md) - [Pumpkin Donut-Flavored Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-munchkin-creamer.md) - [Donut-Inspired Lip Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinted-lip-serum.md) - [Banana Pudding Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-pudding-balm-dotcom.md)
