Tokyo Milk Dark Lip Elixir in La Vie en Rose Review

If you’re anything like me, this time of year brings along some seriously dry lips. I’m going through tubes, pots, & tins like a mad woman already. It is so much work! A great lip exfoliant is important but so is your follow-up balm. When I was searching the Sephora site a few months back I settled on trying something new!

I bought it. Affiliate links.

The Tokyo Milk Dark Lip Elixir in La Vie en Rose caught my eye over the 5 other options because I am such a sucker for rose scents. Most people don’t like the tin aspect of lip balms where you have to physically touch it but I honestly don’t mind. Actually…when I’m lazy I stick my lips in there anyway. It IS mine after all. La Vie en Rose contains rosewater, sweet orange, & peach as the main descriptors. All of the balms apparently contain both jasmine & bee balm. I actually love the scent- it smells very rosy & soft. My main issue was with the tin- I can’t get this lid to secure! I was SO sad & actually wasn’t sure if it was worth keeping…then my husband commented on how nice my lips looked & that this was slightly sweet.

I was torn. In the end I decided to keep it on my side table for nighttime use which is logical & serves a purpose. I actually liked this so much that I purchased 2 more in the most recent sale. I’ll have to see if they come with a more secure lid! The many other flavors are crazy varied… I ended up choosing Tokyo Milk Dark Femme Fatale Collection Lip Elixirs in #36 which I’m most excited about & #60 which got me curious. I have high hopes!

You can purchase any of the TokyoMilk Dark Femme Fatale Collection Lip Elixirs from Sephora for only $7. Check out the descriptions- everything from cloves to anise to sweet cream! If you haven’t found a traditional balm scent that wows you then these might be right up your alley.

Favorite lip balms? Have you tried any Tokyo Milk Dark products? I know some people consider them must-haves now but I’m still quite new!
