Tokyo Milk Iced Green Tea Lipbalm – beautiful Objet d’art

February 19, 2010 Paris B 5 Comments

Tokyo Milk Iced Green Tea Lip balm
Tokyo Milk Bon Bon Lipbalm Iced Green Tea

I was going to tell you about something else today but since we’re still in the Chinese New Year mood (I am – I just got back to work today after a week off! Woohoo :D) I figured a bit of Chinoiserie wouldn’t go amiss.

The objet d’art in this case is the Tokyo Milk Bon Bon Lip Balm in Iced Green Tea. Befitting the Chinese theme of green tea the box is printed in a Chinoiserie style, with girls in cheongsam on it. It actually reminds me of the face powder my gran used to use – you know the one with the chinese lady on it?

Tokyo Milk however is an indie brand from the USA. I can’t find anything about the brand on their site – I think its something they should look into. In this region of Malaysia and Singapore, look to Soap n Sorbet for your Tokyo Milk product fix. Their packaging is gorgeous!

But I know what you’re thinking – sure its got a pretty box but is it just another pretty face?

The box is a piece of art. I love how there is something to surprise you at every turn as you open up the lipbalm.

Tokyo Milk Iced Green Tea lipbalm

My favourite is the quote on the inner flap. With lipbalms being used to keep your lips soft, kissing is the order of the day! You know, if you were late for Valentine’s Day, this is a good gift to make up for it 😉

The lipbalm itself, to my surprise, did not taste too strongly of green tea. I am pleased with that. I’m not a tea drinker and I usually stay away from products that have “green tea flavour” because it tends to smell too sweet. It did however tend towards smelling a little sweet and fragrant for my tastes so I only use it sparingly. If you are a fan of tea and green tea you won’t notice it. I’m just fussy 😛

The balm feels a little hard to the touch but at least it does not apply thick. Its light on the lips and does not feel oily. I used this throughout the Chinese New Year period while I was at home. It was abominably hot and I had been eating a lot of fried tidbits so the lips felt a little dry. This little lipbalm in a pot kept the ol’ lips smooth, if not kissable – that is, if I was going to kiss anyone which I wasn’t and didn’t 😛 The other thing I was a little not too happy about was that my lips felt a little dry after a while. Nothing dramatic but bugged me a little nonetheless.

The Tokyo Milk Bon Bon lipbalm comes in 9 flavours, all of which come in gorgeous packaging. I’m thinking of hoarding THIS little box 😛 A pot retails for US$10 at Tokyo Milk or S$22 at Soap n Sorbet.

Pros: Light texture, Gorgeous packaging, Kept lips soft

Cons: Scent was light but a little too sweet for me, lips felt a little dry after use

Ingredients: Sunflower seed oil, petrolatum, beeswax (cera alba), scrumptious flavor, lanolin, ozokerite, vitamine E acetate (tocopheryl), aloe vera leaf extract (aloe barbadensis) and canola oil, shea butter (butyrospermum parkii), cetyl alcohol, stevia rebaudiana bertoni sweet leaf extract.

Here’s a bit of Kissing Tips found inside the box I wanted to share:-

Kissing Tip #6 (Use all Five Senses)

The sense of smell in the art of kissing is essential to the whole essence of kissing. Make sure your over all scent takes his breath away and makes him want to kiss you more.

So I guess, if he’s into tea, you know what to do! 😉

    ooooooo pretty packaging. i love chinoiserie

    Not keen that it has petrolatum in it though (a.k.a. petroleum jelly which is what vaseline is made of). Could be why it makes your lips feel dry after a while too. Petroleum jelly repels water, so basically makes your lips feel “moist” by trapping whatever moisture is already there against your lips under the petroleum jelly. But if you’re rubbing off the PJ on your lips and reapplying, you’re probably removing the moisture layer too, so putting more PJ on your dry lips would actually PREVENT moisture from coming into contact with your lips.

      Ah that might explain the dryness I felt after some time. Still, the packaging is gorgeous eh? 😀

    ooh! do they have it in bacon flavor? 😀
    Thanks for the review. the packaging is indeed gorgeous! If I had extra to spare, I’d buy one just for the packaging. unfortunately, beeswax doesn’t really agree with me

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
