Japan's teenage girls have been getting involved in a new but bizarre make-up trend in which hot melt glue is used to create tear droplets on the face, the South China Morning Post reported.&nbsp;

The trend is being criticised for its absurdity in both China and Japan and has been called "ridiculous" because of its resemblance to snot and sperm.

As reported by the Japanese show Ninosan, the style is called “3D teardrop make-up” and has recently become very popular among secondary school girls in Japan.

<h2>What is the tear-drop make-up?</h2>

The make-up involves using hot melt&nbsp;glue to create shapes of teardrops which stick to the face and give the appearance of tears rolling down the cheeks.

In this makeup process, hot glue is extruded on a smooth surface like a plastic sheet and not applied directly to the skin.

After the glue cools down and solidifies, it is removed carefully, and fake eyelash glue is used to attach it to the face.

Japanese firm Rika Shiiki, which promotes such products, said that the trend is prevalent among secondary school girls in Japan. The trend has become so popular in Japan that it has led to a shortage of hot melt glue in a few areas.

The manufacturers of hot melt glue have issued a warning against it being used for cosmetic purposes because the chemical substance can lead to allergic reactions or skin irritation.

<h2>Make-up trend faces backlash</h2>

The trend faced a lot of criticism from Japanese as well as Chinese people who called it "ridiculous" and "bizarre" after the Chinese media shared it.

“Wait, doesn’t this hot glue tear makeup look suspiciously like sperm?,” said one Japanese viewer.

“Seriously? Are secondary school girls really into this kind of inappropriate trend now?” wrote another.&nbsp;

“This looks more like snot than tears. It’s disgusting, not cute at all," third commentator.

A mailbox in England has become a snail sanctuary, with the tiny creatures feasting on the post within. Royal Mail put a sign on a postbox in Lewdown, West Devon, saying, "We remove the snails daily, but they are very determined and return.

A mailbox in England has become a snail sanctuary, with the tiny creatures feasting on the post within. Royal Mail put a sign on a postbox in Lewdown, West Devon, saying, "We remove the snails daily, but they are very determined and return." "It is our business policy not to exterminate them with pellets or other means," the sign added. As per the sign, the molluscs seemed to "enjoy making a home" in the Lewdown postbox and ate the glue that held the envelope in shape. BBC reported that the sign has been on the postbox for at least four months. It read further, "Whilst you are very welcome to continue using this postbox, we wanted to mention that your letter may not arrive without some nibble marks around the edges." Villagers believe the vegetation on the wall encouraged the snails to conquer the postbox. The snail invasion has existed for at least a year, and the parish council has not discussed it yet. Residents can post their mail at the village post office, as snails have not raided it yet. However, the Lewdown postbox is not the only place these tiny creatures have settled. Residents of Marazion, Cornwall, found their postboxes sealed off to keep these tiny invaders out. The postbox survived without any issue for over a century, surviving even two World Wars and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the authorities had to shut it down as it became impossible for the staff to retrieve mail from it.

In 2001, the slimy creatures crawled up postboxes in piles of letters all over England. The officer in charge, Tom Potts, told The Guardian, "We were finding 20, even 30 snails at a time in the bottom of boxes. It wasn't just ones or twos. They were leaving their slime everywhere, getting into the letters, licking the paste. But they left the stamps alone, respectful of the Queen's image." Snails are herbivores, and they breed rapidly in damp conditions. They eat vegetables, fruits, flowers, and cereals. They also feed on rotting organic material. However, they are fond of glue on envelopes and stamps. According to Country Life, there are over 120 varieties of snails in Britain. However, people mostly notice the common brown snails lurking around in corners. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE

An urgent investigation was ordered by the Royal Navy amid claims that broken bolts in the reactor chamber of the Trident nuclear-armed submarine were fixed using glue by workers.&nbsp;As per a report by the Sun, faulty repairs were discovered on HMS Vanguard’s cooling pipes after one of the bolts came out during an inspection.

Originally, the bolt heads came off because of over-tightening. However, instead of replacing the damaged shafts, a quick fix was implemented by the staff at the defence contractor Babcock using glue.

The engineers called it a procedural glitch after the problem was discovered, however, no one mentioned the repair’s botched nature.

“It’s a disgrace. You can’t cut corners with nuclear. Standards are standards. Nuclear standards are never compromised,” stated a navy source.

“The glued bolts held insulation in place on the coolant pipes in the nuclear reactor and were found just as workers were set to fire it up to full power for the first time,” reported the newspaper.

The records of repairs will be trawled by the investigators to find out when the bodged repair took place and who should be held ultimately responsible.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Defence said that a “defect” was found on HMS Vanguard when in dry dock and that it was “promptly reported and fixed”.

The spokesperson said the defence secretary, Ben Wallace, held talks with the chief executive of Babcock, David Lockwood, “to seek assurances about future work”.

Babcock’s spokesperson said, “Any quality-related issue is a huge disappointment, but our own robust inspection processes discovered the issue. There was no safety or operational impact from the work.”
