TokyoMilk Dark

Oh, how I love TokyoMilk.

This was well worth the $7 from Sephora. The packaging itself is perfect. If I had my own cosmetic line, it would be packaged like this. TokyoMilk you forever have my heart.

I am pretty taken with their scents...and when I heard of Salted Caramel, I had to have it. That is my favorite taste/experience/flavor in the world.

This is not fragrance, but rather heavily scented 'Lip Elixer'. It is not completely vegan because it is made with beeswax. Albeit the bee ingredient is the last one on the label.

The TokyoMilk Dark line was created by Margot Elena. She is automatically cool because we share names.

This is what the tin looks like without the protective strip. There are .7 oz of product and it feels just as heavenly on the lips as it smells.

The balm itself is colorless but moisturizing. The smell is distinctly of freshly burnt and salted caramel. It is heady and strong and sweet and seductive. I love it. It tastes good too. I just dislike the unsanitary aspect of the pot.

Final Thoughts: They have other scents to try as well, if this doesn't suit your fancy. It is not a necessity, but a rather pretty vanity item.

Price: 8/10
Staying Power: 8/10
Packaging: 10/10
Color/Wearability: N/A anyone can wear
Quality/Branding: 10/10

Total: 36/40 = A = Pandamonium!

Do you like TokyoMilk? Tried any of their other scents?

  1. I like TokyoMilk, though I only have a small sample of one of their fragrances, and it's not from the Dark line.

  3. I keep hearing really good things about this line of lipbalms, and Salted Caramel sounds delicious!! Love yummy smelling lipbalms, so I will have to check this out. Maybe after I've made a little more of a dent in my lipbalm arsenal LOL. Love the packaging too, it's very elegant and cool looking.

    1. Yeah, I have more lip balms than I would like to admit. But I just had to have it for the smell. I am a total foodie, so things that smell like my favorite treats always reel me in!

  4. Since when does Sephora have Tokyo Milk? Do they have ALL of her stuff? Sorry, having a bit of a heart attack over here.

    1. It seems to be recent. I just checked and they have all of the Dark line as of right now, there are a lot of great products. I love when Sephora starts carrying brands that are actually note-worthy.
