Shobido Corporation, which plans, manufactures and sells cosmetics, cosmetic accessories, character goods and more, has been rolling out a cosmetics series based on Megumi Mizusawa's manga "Hime-chan's Ribbon" at Loft stores since mid-September 2026. The general release is scheduled for Friday, October 16, and some stores do not carry the series.
"Hime-chan's Ribbon" is a work from "Ribon," the shojo manga magazine from Shueisha that is celebrating its 70th anniversary. The lineup has five items in all: a lip balm with a charm, a whipped hand cream with an acrylic charm, bangs clips, a lip gloss with an acrylic stand, and a bag charm multi-balm.
Three items, including the lip balm, come as blind packs
The lip balm, hand cream and bangs clips are blind packs, so you won't know which design you have until you open it. The lip balm and hand cream each come in 8 designs, and the bangs clips in 12. The lip balm has an apple tea scent and a faint pink tint. The company says all of the cosmetics are scented.
A lip gloss with an acrylic stand, and a multi-balm in three scents
The "Lip Gloss with Acrylic Stand" has an apple tea scent. The "Bag Charm Multi-Balm" comes in three scents: (A) Earl Grey, (B) Apple Tea and (C) Peach Tea.
