As one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch today, there is no shortage in the amount of online content that is centered around Animal Crossing: New Horizons. And just recently, well-known American brand ColourPop Cosmetics has jumped into the fray, teasing its audience with the reveal of its upcoming cosmetics collection inspired by the life-simulation game.
It is not surprising for lifestyle brands to get into the Animal Crossing: New Horizons hype. Fans are constantly generating new content, whether replicating popular video game settings on their islands, or dressing up their villagers into highly beloved characters. With ColourPop known for incorporating pop culture series such as Sailor Moon and Star Wars into its collections, it was only a matter of time before the make-up brand took notice of all the attention Animal Crossing: New Horizons has garnered since its launch.
In a recent tweet, ColourPop revealed that it has exciting Animal Crossing-related news in store for its fans on January 15, 2021. Sharing a short clip on the post, the brand showcases its New Horizons avatar decked out in a kimono, clapping with a sparkly emote as they stand in the middle of their getaway island. It confirms that ColourPop has indeed worked with Animal Crossing: New Horizons to produce a make-up collection for its fans.
On ColourPop's official Tiktok account, the brand shared news that it will do the full reveal of the collection by 10:00AM PST on January 15. ColourPop also showed off a very exciting sneak peek of the products included in the collaboration. Though the total number of pieces has been unconfirmed, twelve boxes were shown in the video. Each box's packaging features iconic art from the game, including popular characters such as Isabelle, Tom Nook and the Nooklings, and even the trio of Able Sisters, all decked out in their deserted island getaway attire.
If fans take a closer look at the TikTok video, it seems that the brand will have three lip sets, and a number of pressed powder products, as part of the collection. However, one item that will surely catch the eye of any Animal Crossing fan is the box with the name "Bellionaire." Seemingly inspired by Animal Crossing's Bell currency, the actual product looks to be packaged in a premium gold color. However, fans will have to wait until the collection's actual reveal to know more about the mysterious item.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently exclusively available for the Nintendo Switch.
