China Airlines (CI) biz amenity kit
New amenity kit, or at least new to me since last year 
Contents:
The sticker is mildly noteworthy since this was still a B777 flight, but I wonder if the kit was refreshed specifically for the A350 launch.
The case itself is hard(ish)-sided, much nicer than the previous folding whatever that felt a bit amateurish. It's very similar to the clamshell style of Tumi amenity kit cases on DL except a bit longer front-to-back and a bit shorter top-to-bottom. Unlike the DL cases it has webbed holders on both sides.
Although I think I preferred the Acca Kappa toiletries (which were still in the lavs).
Contents:
- eye shade
- Institute Karité Paris shea hand cream and lip balm
- Moroccan Oil Treatment "for all hair types"
- lens/screen wipe
- toothbrush, toothpaste, flossers
- ballpoint pen
- wooden comb
- a CI A350 "memorable sticker" (that's what it says on the back )

This travel blogger has additional pictures of the new kit: http://liveandletsfly.boardingarea.c...usiness-class/
W kit is a smaller version of it (more like a pencil case in shape). Not sure about the contents; I have one but it's unopened.

The hand cream, lip balm, and hair treatment thing look like things you would find in a hospital cabinet. Very poor looking.
Also the kit they use is the same as the W kit on BR.

Some pix side-by-side with the DL case for scale (the vertical lines are a camera/JPEG artifact, the actual appearance is uniform):
The thin rectangular tag on the webbing on the right side of the photo says "CHINA AIRLINES" with the plum blossom and SkyTeam logos, but on the side that faces inward.

Oh, I did have a picture in my original post but just realized I'd only attached it w/o inserting it into the post itself. I think it was still accessible, but have gone back and edited it in anyway.

The hair treatment thing definitely looks like cough syrup. The hand cream and lip balm are packaged like what I'd find from semi-upscale Western-market skincare shops, though (I have a tube of L'Occitane hand cream that's packaged just like the depicted hand cream, for example).

and hers includes earplugs 
they're in a small cardboard container, so I'd think I'd notice if mine had fallen out along the way but maybe not?
