I'm a self-proclaimed geek. I have always been, and I always will be. I geek over a lot of things, like books (both regular and graphic novels), video games, as well as Japanese animation shows [anime] and movies. Some of my most favorite Japanese animation movies were created and produced by the amazing Studio Ghibli. If you're not familiar with them, they made the popular and well-loved 魔女の宅急便 [Majo no Takkyūbin/Kiki's Delivery Service] and もののけ姫 [Princess Mononoke], amongst many others.
With that, it's safe to say that beauty products with a theme that caters to any of my geeky interests are a must-have for me. Thank god for sites like Shiro Cosmetics who cater to people just like me! For my birthday last year, my boyfriend got me a bunch of items from there that included these super cute, tinted lip balms that are Studio Ghibli themed!

From Shiro Cosmetics: "Our greatly improved balm formulation is ultra moisturizing, providing a sheer wash of color with a slick, lightly glossy finish. Flavored with delicious French Vanilla!"
All their tinted balms come in a 0.15 oz plastic, silver tube. Like most balms, it's a twist-up product. They currently have five different kinds and all of them are Studio Ghibli themed. The whole collection is dubbed as the 'Miyazaki Tints', referring to Hayao Miyazaki, one of the co-founders of Studio Ghibli.
