When I found out that my next item for review was the Lover’s Paintbox, my first thought was that it would be great, yummy fun. When it arrived, I tore open the Priority Mail box and opened the lovely box that held three different kinds of chocolate flavored body paint. I was initially impressed.

I played around with each flavor; milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate. I was dismayed at the fact that the paints must be refrigerated after they are opened. If you have children or nosey visitors, it could lead to some embarrassing questions. “Mom? What’s this chocolate stuff in the fridge? It doesn’t taste right! Oh, umm, yeah. Nevermind, I don’t want to know!”

The brush is broad and stiff, and just right for body painting. It is soft, but not very easy to clean, as paintbrushes go, since it gets super sticky. It requires hot water and patience.

Using a plate with a small amount of the body paint on it seemed to be the best way to keep unwanted debris from transferring into the jars. And let’s face it – who wants to dig a pubic hair out of their body paint? You could, of course, use an actual painter’s palette, but that seemed a bit much for us.

The flavors weren’t quite what I was expecting, but they weren’t too bad either. They had a bit of an alcohol-tasting undertone, but not so much as to be unpleasant. They all spread great, as body paint should. My husband loved the feel of the brush on his cock, being decorated with my favorite confection. As I lovingly licked the dark chocolate off, he expressed his pleasure in a very vocal way.

He also expressed pleasure whilst painting my nipples and other random, pale places on my body. Unfortunately, he found the taste to be a lot closer to unpleasant than I did. Cleaning up the unlicked residue was easy enough, but it isn’t something you’d be able to do outside of a place with hot water and washcloths. I didn’t test the stain-factor, for obvious reasons, but I would imagine that you’d want to do so before using while on expensive sheets.

Overall, the Lover’s Paintbox is a great idea. It mixes sex and chocolate, two of my favorite things. It comes in a beautiful box, with the perfect brush. But in all honesty, you could probably get the same results with less potential embarrassment by investing in a few small jars of chocolate sauce and a good quality brush.
