Shonen-Ai Lip Balm! :D (Now with Etsy!)

[darkkako]

After months of hard work and frighteningly soft hands, I've finally completed my big project for the year: Anime Lip Balms!

http://darkkako.deviantart.com/art/Shonen-Ai-Lip-Balm-162419588

They're completely handmade. I measured the ingredients, added and tested the flavours, distributed them amongst tins, and even designed and stuck on the labels myself. I'm going to be releasing new flavours in sets of three, the current shonen-ai theme is just a test run. The current flavours are Uke (Sugar), Seme (Spiced Orange), and Yaoi (Strawberry). All three smell fantastic. (And the Uke even sparkles. :3) Once I'm sure this project has merit, I'm going to release Shonen (Vanilla), Shojou (Chocolate), and Moe (Either Cherry or Melon). :3 I'll have around thirty tins of these in the Artist's Alley this year, and by the end of June I should have an etsy shop with them available.

Please let me know what you think, and if you have any flavour suggestions/requests just say so. :D

Update: I now have the Etsy shop up! http://www.etsy.com/shop/PiraticalArtist

This sounds great!  I'll have to stop by and get some.  The uke one sounds good.  Maybe I'll get the strawberry one too...  I don't know.  But this is awesome!  I'll make a note of it to myself and be sure to stop by.  ^.^

[darkkako]

Thanks! I look forward to seeing you. :)

Expect me to drop by your booth.

Hmmm...I think I'll get this. Super relevant to my interests!

[AuroraDreamer]

I'll probably come check it out. I may not be a huge shonen-ai fan, but I'll support you :)

[darkkako]

Thanks very much, everyone. :3 AuroraDreamer - At least you can probably grab a busineses card, so you can find out when the non BL flavours are released. :)

(Psst...save me a tin of Yaoi Strawberry!)

Also, do you have a list of ingredients? My one concern is the fact some people may have allergic reactions...

[darkkako]

By FDA regulations, there is an ingredient list on the bottom of the tin. It's all-natural, and the only semi-common allergen in it is cocoa butter which I warn people about when I give it to them :)

Here's the ingredient list: White Cocoa Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Shea Oil, Avacado Butter, Castor Oil, Emu Oil, Mango Butter, Candelilla Wax, Carnauba Wax, Tamanu Oil, Flavor, Vitamin E Acetate

Love the idea. Save me a Seme!!

Fantastico!!
Delicious...
Sexy~~
I'll be feeling so animated & seductive if I put your lip balm on~~ ;o
*lips smacks*
How much for one??

[darkkako]

My initial goal price was $3 a tin, but at this point I'll actually be losing money if I charge that. ): It'll probably be $4 or $5 per tin, and hopefully in the future I'll find a way to drop it down to $3. I'm glad you guys like it! :)

You should get a uke one especially for Kai-chan. x]

I will be looking for your booth! ;D

[darkkako]

Thanks. :D I just got confirmed for table number 240.

[MyMidnightAffair]

Onoez!! Do you have enough of "uke" and "seme" and "yaoi" in stock for everyone?? O_______o
If you sell out, will you have more??
And I, too, will be looking for your booth~~ ;3

[darkkako]

I will hopefully have enough for everyone. ^^ If I sell out, I'll have an etsy shop with them available by the end of June. :) I'll give a special discount to people who came to fanime but couldn't get any.

Nice!! I needed lip balm for work and anime lip balm would be epic! ha ha

[BonjourHoney]

Would definitely be interested in non-BL themed lip balms. =D
