Description from the website

Lip balm that imparts a subtle fragrance at the tip of your nose. It provides immediate nourishment with rich plant-based oils, keeping dry lips moist and soft. The scent, made with safe ingredients, is packaged in a handy case resembling the smooth curves and texture of an egg, giving you a pleasant feeling anytime, anywhere.

I love eggs, so the adorable container instantly caught my eye. I also love milk tea and this balm actually smells like it! I can always use more lip balms, so when I spotted it at Incheon Airport, I picked one up.

Purchased for 

USD 19 (duty-free at ICN Airport)

My lip condition

Generally okay, not very dry or cracked, so I don’t need balm every day. I mostly use lip balm to prep my lips before applying color or gloss.

Packaging & Application

- Design : The balm comes in a flat, egg-shaped tube that twists up for more product. It's housed in a sturdy, upscale box, great for gifting.

- Material : The container appears to be plastic but is textured to mimic a real eggshell. It has a soft, matte feel, almost like very fine sandpaper, no specific material details listed on the website.

- Ease of Use : Just remove the cap and apply directly. Twist the base to dispense more product.

- Portability : Super compact. The flat shape fits easily into even the slimmest bags.

- Durability : Feels well-made. Just be careful when putting the cap back on if you’re not aligned, the cap might nick the balm.

Ingredients & Formulation

- Key ingredients include: Castor seed oil, Sunflower seed wax and oil, Camellia Japonica seed oil, Apple seed oil, Candelilla wax, Various esters and emollients

- Manufactured by : Cosmax Co. Ltd.

- Texture : Smooth, oily, and thin upon application—an elegant, non-sticky formulation.

Scent & Flavor

-Notes : Top: bergamot and lemon, middle: black tea, base: coconut

- Tamburins describes it as the soft scent on the tip of your nose when you drink a glass of black tea with a drop of warm milk... Fresh and refreshing bergamot and lemon blend with the bittersweet feeling of black tea... Coconut adds a soft and sweet finish.

My take

It smells like real milk tea, subtle and comforting, like the faint scent lingering after a sip. The fragrance doesn’t linger long, which is great if you're sensitive to smells but still like a little treat. There’s also an unscented version available.

Performance & Effectiveness

- Immediate Hydration : More moisturizing than my current balms from Hersteller and Sampar Addict.

- Lasting Power : One application lasts about 3–4 hours without eating or drinking.

- Healing : Provides instant relief for chapped lips.

- Protection : I wore it on a 7-hour flight and my lips stayed soft and hydrated.

- Comfort : Creamy texture that wears comfortably. The scent fades gently over time.

Longevity & Value

I don’t use lip balm daily, just when needed.

At USD 19 for 5g, I wouldn’t call this cost-effective.

Who Would This Be Good For?

Anyone who

-Loves cute packaging, especially eggs 

-Enjoys milk tea

- Wants quick relief from dry lips

- Has a little fun money to spare

Would I Repurchase?

No, WNRP

Not because I didn’t like it, but because I already have the container and plan to refill it myself with a more affordable balm. It’s a lovely product, just not worth repurchasing at full price for me.

Overall Rating

4 out of 5

Would WRP if it were USD 9 instead of USD 19.

Shortly

A cute little egg-shaped lip balm that smells like milk tea and gives instant relief for dry lips. Great as a gift or souvenir, but pricey at USD 19 for 5g. Fun, but not a must-have.
