Philosophical analysis aside, the [computer mouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-mouse-concept)/[powder puff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-gateau-powder-compact)/compact combination is pretty cute although it is not be an item you will ever find in my purse. I don't know whether or not this is a functional PC mouse or just a poser but it certainly tickles my fancy if nothing else. **Implications** - The use of geek culture has been greatly popularized by youth shoppers who control the buying market. Buyers appreciate and have accepted this culture because of its ability to provide alternative aesthetics. Businesses should consider using this geek culture to market their products and campaigns in order to attract a broader clientele. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chromatic Hip Mini Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-pop-mouse.md) - [Screen-Equipped Computer Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-mouse-touch.md) - [Makeup-Inspired Colorfuldevices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lipstick-mechanical-keyboard.md) - [Pressed Powder Phone Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-powder-phone-grip.md) - [Stealth Polygonal PC Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poly-mouse-concept.md) - [Stone-Inspired Tech Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smooth-mouse-concept.md) - [Sushi-Inspired Computer Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moushi-mouse.md) - [Steampunk Multifunctional Computer Mouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d-mouse.md) - [Stylishly Functional PC Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waia-neo.md)
