# Adorable Animal Lip Balms Lip Smacker's Lippy Pals Come in Five Cute Designs and Flavors By Riley von Niessen | Published 2018-06-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lippy-pals References: [lipsmacker](http://www.lipsmacker.com/shop-by-form/lippy-pal-lip-balm-bundle.html) Further expanding its collection of uniquely designed lip balms, Lip Smackers introduced its Lippy Pals line, which consists of five different animal-shaped products that provide users with long-lasting hydration and comfort. The five animals in the collection are a panda, unicorn, fox, bunny and a kitten. All of the designs utilize bright colors and each boasts a scent and flavor that's inspired by the animals that make up the packaging. For example, the bunny-shaped balm boasts a carrot cake-inspired formula, whereas the kitten one, which is accented with fruity designs, has a "Water-Meow-Lon" formula. Once applied, all of the balms leave the lips feeling moisturized, soothed, and with a subtle but long-lasting level of shine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal-inspired Lip Products:** Opportunity for beauty companies to create animal-shaped lip products with unique flavors and scents to attract consumers. - **Novelty Lip Balm Collections:** Opportunity for companies to develop new and innovative lip balm collections with unique designs and packaging, as seen in Lip Smacker's Lippy Pals line. - **Elevated Lip Hydration:** Opportunity for beauty companies to differentiate their lip products by emphasizing long-lasting hydration and comfort. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty Industry:** Companies in the beauty industry can tap into the trend of animal-inspired lip products to attract a younger audience. - **Toy Industry:** The success of Lip Smacker's Lippy Pals line presents an opportunity for toy companies to venture into the lip balm market and create unique animal-shaped lip balms for kids and adults alike. - **Gift and Novelty Industry:** Companies in the gift and novelty industry can capitalize on the trend of novel lip balm collections as a new and fun gift option for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Cushiony Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-balm.md) - [Jam-Themed Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-paw-paw.md) - [Extra-Sweet Free-From Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drpawpaw-lip-balms.md) - [Flavor-Packed Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hismile-lip-balm.md) - [Digital Pet-Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamagotchi-multi-carry-balm.md) - [Jammy Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paddington-x-drpawpaw.md) - [Wearable Keychain Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-balm-keyrings.md) - [Keychain Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tell-all-juicy-berry-lip-balm.md) - [Naturally Inspired Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starface-star-balm.md)
