For my first foray into TokyoMilk, I purchased a shea butter lotion called Kabuki.
"Unexpected essences are crushed & distilled then blended with extracts of Japanese Green Tea, Mimosa Bark & Dandelion and enveloped in moisture-rich Shea Butter to create this coveted treasure."
The fragrance features sugared grapefruit, lychee and sweet jasmine and makes me think of sunshine streaming through a window on a clear, cool day. It's not overly sweet and has a bit of tartness to it - perhaps the lychee? The lotion itself is of medium consistency and makes for a great hand cream, as it softens without leaving a greasy residue. I'm a hand cream fiend, and Kabuki is one I'll be turning to throughout the winter, especially on gray, cold days.
I think these would make great hostess or holiday gifts and I planning on getting one for my mother for Christmas. Ten different scents are available, including one called Dead Sexy, which I may have to get just for the name. Not to mention the skull warning sign nestled in flowers design. These beauties need a vanity to be displayed on!
The Bon Bon Shea Butter Lotions retail for $20 and I got mine from beauty.com. Sephora is also now carrying TokyoMilk Dark, which features more edgy and dark scents with names like Arsenic, Bullet Proof, and Tainted Love. I recently received a sample of Tainted Love, which features dark vanilla bean, orchid, white tea, and sandalwood. It's nice!
Disclosure: I purchased this.
Wow, the packaging on this is absolutely stunning! I'm a huge hand creme junkie, I think I need to add a TokyoMilk one to my stash!
ReplyDeleteThey are so gorgeous! The creator has two other lines as well, with more mainstream designs - still very pretty.
DeleteThey have the prettiest packaging!
