Edible body painting - body paint discontinued by Shunga Erotic Art - review by Jul!a

This chocolate body paint is great for adding a little extra zest to the bedroom for those who are a bit on the tamer side. There's nothing too extreme about it, and it's delicious as well. It's made using real sugar, so for anybody concerned about that, please keep that in mind.

You and your partner can play games such as tic-tac-toe or write sexy things on each other and when you're all done, just lick it off!

Something my partner suggested was to get a blindfold to keep the other person guessing where they were going to be painted on next.

This product has a very nice consistency. It doesn't just pour out all over the place but at the same time you don't have to try very hard to get any out of it. My partner and I experimented with pouring vs painting and had no real problems controlling the flow when being poured, however we didn't experiment with heating it up first which could definitely change the consistency.

The thing that surprised me the most about this product was that it tasted like Hershey's chocolate syrup but it was thinner. When you open the bottle it definitely does have a chocolate scent to it, but it isn't overly strong, and once it had been licked off my skin (and his) didn't have any real scent left to it, which is nice if you don't want to smell like a chocolate bar all night.

The paint didn't drip while we were trying to use it, except when we had been pouring it. This makes it very nice to write and draw with. When we were all done I didn't feel sticky at all, but if you're overly sensitive a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth wouldn't hurt.

What I liked best about this paint was the ability to draw fun things, leave little dabs to lick off, or to finger paint when it was poured.

There wasn't anything that I really didn't like at all about this product, but if you're looking for something sugar free then this product probably is not for you.

I bought this paint at a brick and mortar store and not online, so there wasn't any special packaging on the outside.

The paint itself is in a very classy glass bottle that is clear and wouldn't look all that out of place just sitting on a shelf, so this one isn't necessary to hide it as soon as you're done with it.

Something that I thought was really neat about this product is when I was reading the back of the bottle and it says it can also be used as a face mask. I didn't personally try it but if anybody reading this review has or does I would love to know how it worked for you.

Also while I was in the store the sales associate mentioned to me that it warmed up very nicely by removing the lid and sticking it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Just be careful if you try this because different microwaves are different and mine might heat differently than yours.

This paint came with a really cute little "brush." By brush I mean a small wooden stick with a piece of foam tied onto the end of it. We did use this brush and the biggest thing I don't like about it is that there doesn't seem to be a very good way to clean it. I had decided before we even started using it that we probably wouldn't be using that brush again so I just licked it clean.

When I was looking at it in the store an associate came over and showed it to me using a Q-tip which worked very well, but isn't all that romantic.

Personally if you're not all that worried about the appearance of the item being used to paint on you, I would go to the dollar store and pick up a pack of the cheap water color brushes, or if you're going for something a little softer for more delicate areas, go to any art supply store and spend a few dollars on a nicer one that will last a bit longer.

If you're concerned with using a paint brush then I suggest finger painting. It will save you the cost of a brush and can definitely be very sexy and way more intimate.
