High-end anime merchandiser Premium Bandai has begun taking preorders for the latest addition to its Miracle Romance line of Sailor Moon-themed cosmetics, and this time the makeup comes housed in a recreation of the Cosmic Heart Compact (which also served as the inspiration for the recently announced Sailor Moon smartphone).

Flip open the cover, and inside you’ll find a supply of rouge.
