My experience: eyebrows, mascara and blush

From the suggestions I received regarding what - according to you - is interesting to read about, some said it would be nice to have a beauty advice section, where I'm talking about my experiences using cosmetics in the right way, from personal trial and error. I thought that was a great idea and decided to follow through, so here you go with the first post in that series. I hope you will like it :).

Micellar solution or cleansing milk? And what about toner?

Among makeup removers and facial cleansers, micellar solutions were introduced only very recently to the market. Those solutions are being advertised as universal and extremely effective, removing makeup and impurities from the face with merely a single touch, thereby soothing the skin and not even requiring you to wash it off your face afterwards. Sounds like the good old milk cleansers, eye makeup removers and toner are products from the past. But is that really so?

Lush Aquatic Toothy Tabs - "solid" toothpaste

If you think that toothpaste has to be "paste", in always the same aluminium/plastic tube, think again. One of the more innovative and atypical products I found on the shelves of a Lush store in Berlin is a small package of Lush Cosmetics Toothy Tabs. Besides being quite interesting, it was also on discount, so I had twice the reason to buy it :).

The first time I saw this box and read "tooth cleaning tabs", it took me five minutes to imagine how to brush my teeth by eating a tablet.
