Buys & Reviews: TokyoMilk Bon Bon Lip Balm

I have been very curious about these lip balms for a while and I couldn't resist buying these when I laid my eyes on them in a store in Ebisu! I was hypnotized by the gorgeous little boxes and the intoxicating smell of these pretty lip balms! If you can get your hands on one they are definitely worth the money.
I first went on to purchase Let Them Eat Cake then couldn't resist getting Opera Mint and was like why the heck not get another, Petit Fours...after all they smelled to good to pass up and did I mention the packaging?
Now I am not much of a sucker for things I really don't need (well..depending ) and I am after all a huge lip balm fan. I tend to gravitate towards balms and glosses rather then lipsticks. Yeah I know I am an adult and weird but I cant help it!
I must say they are quite a steal, very affordable and goes on so smooth. I love these because they do not leave a sticky film on your lips. It goes on creamy and literally tastes pretty good, no kidding..I would eat them if I could lol. The smell of the balms is not overwhelming  and it just gives enough of a slight sweet smell that it will not give you a headache (I am very sensitive to smells...migraine suffers know what i am talking about) . ok now on to the reviews!



♥ Let Them Eat Cake

This was the first of the three TokyoMilk lip balms that I had purchased that had caught my eye. This balm has a sweet smell of French Vanilla, Shredded Coconut and Cocoa. The taste and smell of the vanilla are first present then as the balm settles on your lips you get the taste of cocoa with a hint of coconut. You can really smell the vanilla and the undertones of cocoa on this balm, very sweet and pleasant smell.

♥ Opera Mint

This balm has the smell and taste of Peppermint, Tahitian Vanilla, and cocoa. The peppermint is intense and if you are not a mint fan then this balm is not for you. There is subtle undertones of vanilla and cocoa which give this balm such a delightful smell. This balm leaves your lips feeling very smooth. I found as this balm settles the vanilla undertones really come out, this gives the balm a balance with the mint. Mint lovers this is definitely for you!

♥ Petit Fours

I love this balm! Its like a dessert on your lips, very decadent, This balm consists of the smell and taste of  Fresh Buttery Pastries, Caramelized Pear, and Candied Lavender. The Pear is the first smell and taste that hits me when I use this then a slight delicate note of Lavender creeps up, very lovely.

  1. Hi Missy! Great post, I was wondering about these! I don't remember where I saw them, though...what stores have you seen them in? I hope they have them at Sony Plaza, I think I'm going to get either the Petit Fours or Let Them Eat Cake.

    Hi! Thank you for reading my post and joining my blog!!
    I just want to say I really like your blog!! It is awesome^^

    I actually bought these lip balms in a mall in the Ebisu station. I don't remember what the name of the store is that I purchased these from. The mall name is Atre and the shop is on the left of Franc Franc on the 5th floor ^^. I only have seen them at Atre shopping mall. I am sure there are sold at more places but haven't really been around ( _ _ ) I hope this reply helps you.

    Thank you again ^^
