I love anything that comes in a pretty package. It almost doesn’t matter what’s inside; if the package is unique and I can squeeze multiple uses out of it when the product is gone, I’m instantly in love with it. Of course, it’s even more exciting when the product is actually good!
The latest item I’ve come across that satisfies both criteria is Oral Fixation mints. The packaging is a brushed metal tin that represents a sort of classic, minimalist design. If you’re going for the cosmopolitan look, retrieving these from your clutch or bag can definitely make a more favorable statement than your Tic-Tac ® box. As for the multiple usage factor, I’ll probably also store change, cash, or business cards in the cute case when the mints are emptied.
So, how do they taste? I tried the Mojito Mint, inspired by the cocktail of the same name – with lime oil and mint oil among the ingredients, I have to say, this is almost as good! (Did you know that cocktail flavors are a rising trend in oral refreshers? If not, you heard it on Beauty Chat first!) I also tried Jasmints, which indeed contains real jasmine oil (who doesn’t love taking in the scent of jasmine?). In this case, the floral essence is barely a hint – enough to be noticeable without overpowering.
Although they’re available at select retailers and fine hospitality establishments, you can order your own tin case directly from Oral Fixation. It features all nine of their distinct flavors as well as mix-and-match options for fickle individuals who can’t decide on just one…I can’t wait to try Night Light and 7 Deadly Cinnamon!
When an item starts showing up in those infamous award show and swanky event gift bags, you know it’s about to go mainstream in a big way. So, I suggest picking up some Oral Fixation mints now, while you can still say you had them before any of your friends.
Don’t you just love being first?

I agree! Even if I didn’t like the mints, which I do, (thanks Brook)I’d carry them around just to show ‘em off. Such a great idea!

A lot cuter than the listeren ones I’m carrying now. Wish I’d thought of it!
