TOKYO MILK! YOUR KISS IS ON MY LIST-KISSING KIT!
Meg here! The "goodybag" at parties is a huge Hollywood draw. It's really great what they put in them and I have been known to drag myself across the city to an event I was only sort of interested in to get the goody bag. Sue me. Like I'm the only one who ever does that! 
I was double booked and Megken went off to his film party without me. He got a great goody bag and he knows by now how to divide the bag up. He keeps the baseball hats, t-shirts and candy. I get any coupons, mini bottles of booze and beauty products. It's like clockwork. We have our system down pat.
He handed me my latest stash and said, "oh, I know this falls under your category. It's a lipstick. It came with my category though-it came with really good breath mints. That's kind of like candy." He had a point. I was intrigued though. A lipstick that came with breath mints? Megken then handed me one of the most gorgeously packaged little box ever. I could not wait to check out my Tokyo Milk Your Kiss Is On My List-Kissing Kits!
I loved beautifully wrapped cosmetics-I can't help it. I will pay the extra $5 to have something look delicious on my vanity. I had never heard of this brand before. I quickly applied my new toy. The color was extremely smooth, it was not sheer but not quite a dark matte. It was more on the subtle side but could definitely be layered for more bang.
This was a goodybag find so I think Tokyo Milk went with their shade #52 "sheer kiss" so that it would be universally flattering. It is definitely a staple color.
It was an unrelated coincidence when Lisa from B-Glowing.com sent me an email 2 days later saying "Will you let the Meg Heads Know we are now carrying the whole Tokyo Milk line?" It was really kismet when Lisa sent that to me because B-Glowing.com was just the type of place that would sell this exotic bird-I made a mental note to tell Lisa to check out the line before she beat me to the punch!
The packaging is a super sensuous chinois! I've been clicking through and looking at some of their other items like Cherry Bomb-bon bon lip balm "A fragrant cherry lemonade on the lips" are calling my name! Lisa even put up a special offer (in the big letters in the blue!)
SPECIAL OFFER: Purchase $125 of any Tokyo Milk & receive 1 Tokyo Milk Eau de Parfum Spray as our gift to you. Retail Value $28. Please tell us your choice of scent under "comments" during check out. No code needed. Cannot be combined with any other offer.
So that was my great goodybag find! Definitely beats the pack of gun and pack of crayons in my 5 year-old birthday bags! What do you ladies think? What companies packaging makes you swoon?

Oh how pretty, Meg! I love that this is SPF 15+, and that the tube is hand wrapped in Hawaiian Divers paper. So lovely!
The packaging for those is definitely gorgeous. Typically I am drawn to packaging for products that aren't in my budget, like Bond no. 9 perfume bottles. They're all so pretty, especially the sparkly ones.
I buy a ton of Too-Faced based on the packaging, I am such a sucker for good packaging and marketing. The products are good, but probably not as good as the packaging makes them seem. And if the name of the color or product is cute and quirky, I'm totally sold on it.
i must say i'm a sucker for nice packaging, i know i shouldnt judge a book by it's cover but i often do, i'd go to the library and always pick out a book that has nice crease-less covers. this sounds like an interesting gloss! im curious as to how it is applied. the packaging is unique indeed.

That packaging is pure splendor! Even though I teaching marketing, I often fall prey to lovely packaging. Hmm . . . what packaging makes me quiver? Estee Lauder's Christmas gift from two years ago. The shadow and blush palettes were beveled gold! I like Tarte, especially the luxurious plum tote which holds their smokey eyeshadows. And then there's Lancome. I'm a rose fiend and the little emblossed bloom makes my heart beat hard! Meg, would this repair lips as well? I need a powerhouse salve for my ravaged pout. I haven't been outside much and our heat is not dry, but I have parched lips 24/7, 360 days a year.
Ah--another one. I enjoy Benefit's retro style as well.
Forgot again--darn, I still have the flu and an aching head and fever so I apologize. I laughed aloud. When I was a little girl my dad used to call me "Miss Kiss." I'd imitate one of those dolls who puckered up when the arms were moved together. I'll have to buy this for sweet memories as well. I hope I'm done!
I don't know if anyone has ever checked out Anna Sui but I LOVE their packaging and little sections in departments stores. When I walk by I always imagine being able to furnish my little girls room in the exact way with the mirror and pretty little bottles. Check out their site. Little butterflies...so adorable. I always wonder why there isn't more hype about this line. I did try one of their perfumes but wasn't to crazy about it.

Anna Sui was all the hype in Asia for a few years due to their packaging. Their hand held and table mirrors were very much copied by "pirates" at one time. The products are really nothing to shout about. Sometimes I really want to buy something for their packaging but I always stop myself.
oh I love Anna Sui, they have the most adorable packaging! I used to buy their Dolly Girl (forget which one it is!) perfume from Victoria's Secret but knew when it went on clearance that it was probably being discontinued, so I seriously bought like 3 large bottles for only $28 each (originally like $50)! haha you can probably still find it but hey..at least I stocked up for a great price :)
Whoa! Check out the packaging on the Tokyo Milk Triple Milled Perfumed Soaps. Gorgeous! Also, the parfums, Honey & The Moom #10, and Dead Sexy #6 are calling my name. This looks like a really clever and inviting line.
OMG - I want this stuff! The lip balms sound delightful, as do the fragrances. And the soaps! I love the packaging, and I can see that I could do a lot of my gift shopping with Tokyomilk. OH - I hope that someone who loves me will get that idea too!

just the name of the brand alone, makes me want to check out their products
beautiful package,very elegant.
Can anyone believe that I found a make-up brand before Meg? I had to work to get the goodie bag. They weren't going to give it to just anyone. But I had my ways, because I was not going to let it get away and I knew there was make-up in it so I found out the "code-word" I needed to give the gate-keeper. Sometimes getting those Hollywood gift-bags are a challenge. I have to say that the mints were very good. I love cinnamon and these mints were so good. I think this is perfect, because if was dating... I think it would be a great gift to show my intentions... nothing subtle about giving a girl a "kiss kit" on your date, but then again it comes with the lipstick, so at the very least, maybe with some wine too, that should get you a kiss.
That's great. Way to work the system. I agree that mints work well with lipstick. Most women have mints/gum and lipstick/gloss/etc. in their purse at all times.

Tokyo Milk has recently become available in Australia and I just love how gorgeous the packaging is. I have the lip balm in Let Them Eat Cake, it tastes amazing! I haven't seen the lipsticks here yet, but I'll be on the lookout for them.

My goodness, that product sounds divine! And the name is quite catchy. I admit I'm a sucker for packaging, Too Faced and Urban Decay get me on that!
I'm another sucker for nice packaging and also stuff that I can easily take in my handbag or a purse for nights out on the town.
I love nice packaging, and that is gorgeous! You're so lucky that you get to go to those events and get all these goodie bags Meg!
Oh my god the packaging is to die for ,Im a sucker for gorgeous packaging,I had seen the perfume but not the makeup products.as for packagingI love guerlain packaging-its so glam especially the meteroites face powder and midnight secret face cream,Ialso love rose and co apothecary products they do these kits that come packaged in fab hatboxes Ive got the lavender one and the products are ace too.Anyway back to the tokyo rose-so much to covet the paper and cotton,honey and the moonand let them eat cake perfume and the honey blosson and rose water lip balm look amazing.

Packaging really can draw someone in! lol I just like the classic packaging: black and sleek. I must say that Hard Candy's new packaging is just adorable to me.

I am another one that loves urban decay packaging! also i love the simplicity of (and kinda up market look) of the e.l.f studio products cant wait for christmas to have a spree on their online uk site i hear their brinzer/blusher duo is comparable to nars laguna and mac orgasm (and its £3.50! can you say bargaiiiinnnn!!!!! =)
I'm the same way about goody bags, Meg. Who doesn't like free, fun things?!

Can I tell you I love TM?????? I found their spray on scents at a local BOOKSTORE of all places and just tossed my empty "Dead Sexy" bottle,it was drained to the last drop...divind packaging,a very cool vibe,and truly destined for greatness!I want this lippy only because it's soooooo freakin' cute! I am a packaging 'ho and LOVE what they do that the "Juicy Couture" store with reams of pink tissue and heavy shopping bags and as far as cosmetics go? Chanel and Dior are still the gold-standard in elegance! I love that you two share swag!!! :)
The packaging on that is so cute. I personally love the packaging of the Urban decay products. I always wear lip gloss because I like the sheer look of it. I don't know how I would feel about wearing this but I may just have to find out because the package really is that cute.
Oh I'm with you Meg I would definitely buy something because it looks cute !!!!
I love urban decay packaging as well!!
I tend to look past the packaging and just rip it open to get to the goodies inside and see how well they work. *grimace* I'm sure I'm the family embarassment at Christmas and birthdays with wrapping paper flying everywhere while my mom yells "Fold it honey, we can use it again." A conservationist to the core my mother lol! I will say that Estee Lauder is definitely my favorite in terms of their gifts because of their awesome makeup cases and bags they give with them. I have a collection of their train cases and they are so durable and fabulous at the same time! I use every one of them. And Meg, thanks for the review on the lipstick. Lipstick and gloss is definitely something I tend to not think about with my makeup purchases, and stick with the safe neutral lip. I will check this out!

Oh my, the packaging is gorgeous! The wrappers for the perfumed soaps are beautiful too. I love the packagings of Benefit, Too Faced, Shu Uemura, and Majolica Majorca (Shiseido's drugstore brand).
That lipstick looks so cute! I love pretty packaging and often buy things based on how good they look rather then if the actual product is any good.
VERY pretty! would love to try me some of that. Wow you are so lucky geting gifts from parties, we get a small idea of it when you send us a package - it is really nice how you share the Joy. yay~I am one for pretty packaging, shame my fave face cleaner right now looks horrid on my counter.. that of Cetaphil!oh well
makeup makeup makeup!!!!!!!
I love cute packaging:) Benefit is probably the company that has the most adorable cute boxes. But honestly I have to say that often when I buy something because of the pretty packaging Iam not so happy with the quality of the product.
I love love love cute packagingi am going to check this out :)

Thanks for the great review, Meg! Those Tokyo Milk products are just beautiful. And I am very tempted by this B-glowing offer, since their office is not too far from where I live. I am totally a sucker for cute/beautiful packaging. Some of my favorites (I don't own the first two, but they're on my list of things to buy!)--Too Faced Kabuki brush (um, soft AND comes in a pink case?!)--Hard Candy lipsticks (the new ones, at Walmart. Cool funky designs, pink ribbon on the ends)--Nina Ricci "Nina" EDT (adorable little glass apple bottle, AND a delicious scent inside!)--Cargo Hands of Hope Palette (Gorgeous colors, the hands are just beautiful on the shadows)--MAC Hello Kitty collection (it's Hello Kitty. need I say more?)

First of all.. Now that song is going to stuck in my head all day! AND THIS LINE SOUNDS ABDSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!I just HAVE to check it out. Your kiss is on my lips sounds perfectly suited to me, most likely in that color too! and cherry bon bon lip balm!
I admit IM a sucker for cute packaging too!! Not just the packaging but the product itself has an awesome design.
thanks!

That does look adorable, but I would not buy it based on packaging alone. If i read more reviews where the product itself worked especially well for some reason, then I'd probably give it a try
Beautiful Packaging! I have been known to buy things strictly for the pretty package. Oh well, it's the truth. But this one sounds like there could be a good product in there.
Beautiful packaging, candy inside... I'm sold
I LOVE Benefits packaging. The retro and girly look is right up my a lley. It's a lot of pink for me though and I'm one of those weird gals who doesn't enjoy the color pink. I also like UD's packaging, it's like tough girly and reminds of me of the city with it's silver packaging and dark colors.
Wow, beautiful packaging! I'm a sucker too, I cant help it...I love any packaging with sparklies. I'm really drawn to all the YSL products, gold w/jewels, yes please!
Ohhh thats so gorgeous! I don't really look for packaging, a lot of the time you're paying for excess bags, plastics and packaging that mostly end up in the landfill, which does make me a little sad :( I like simple bold, striking packaging!
That packaging is amazing.I'm a sucker for pretty wrapping--if there's a bottle of wine with a lovely label, you bet I'm buying it!
Oooh, so pretty! I have to admit I'm also drawn to glitz and pretty packaging. That's why a simple "I'm just going in to have a quick peek" turns into hours of oooohing and ahhhing at Sephora. My favorite mu item in terms of looks is the UD Sustainable Shadow palette in the bamboo box. I love that they try to make the packaging reflect the beauty of what's inside. I do agree with Nicoll though, I like streamlined packaging. I prefer for the actual mu container to be pretty, but without a lot of fuss in terms of extra paper/plastic/etc that just has to get thrown out.
lol.. this is a brilliant idea(: the packaging is beautifully decorted. thoroughly enjoy the product and its style (;
Wow this is GREAT! I really appreciate the packaging. I'm a sucker for packaging lol as you can tell
I am what I shop
Wow that packaging does look beautiful. They say that winning over a customer with their eyes is one of the most important things - they got me with this one.
You made that lipstick sound divine. I always love learning about and trying new brands of makeup. It kind of makes me feel just plain awesome to be the only one in my whole group of friends that knows about almost everything first. lol. Yeah it doesn't take a lot to make me happy. Future possible husbands better be taking mental notes. lmao! This definitely sounds like a lipstick and a brand worth trying. Good packaging on beauty items really does it for me too! I will sometimes pay more for something because it is packaged really well, in a metal tin, an atomizer bottle, etc. I really love palettes that are pretty like the ones from Urban Decay and Too Faced. I really go gaga over vintage looking packaging too, like stuff from Body & Soul, Besame, or Borghese.
That packaging is so nice. You always make the products sound so tempting.
