The French tea house Kusmi Tea has released a new flavor called BB Detox. It’s a blend of green tea, maté, dandelion and rooibos inspired by the “all-in-one” idea of BB (beauty balm) creams. Kusmi makes grand claims that the ingredients will detoxify, protect and hydrate the skin, but I can only say that the flavor is very nice–zesty, bright, and refreshing.
BB Detox de Kusmi Tea, 125gr, 14,80€. Available at www.kusmitea.com and directly from Kusmi boutiques.

Hello Victoria and bois de jasmin devotees. My comment today is just to relish and praise these reviews. I enjoyed reading about these fragrances which are described so well in… April 15, 2024 at 9:25pm
These all sound great. I am intrigued by Houbigant Magnolia, Fragonard Lilas and Guerlain Rose Amira. April 15, 2024 at 3:05pm
Currently sniffing Mimosa from Les Parfums de Grasse and wearing the very floral vintage Eau de Givenchy. Thank you very much for a great list. Last summer I tried Chloe… April 15, 2024 at 2:27pm

Mer: How much more trendy can you get? ;P March 28, 2013 at 2:16pm
Victoria: 🙂 Can’t get more trendy, unless they will follow the trend with some CC tea. March 28, 2013 at 4:03pm
Mer: Haha, I didn’t know about this one. Sadly, they only seem to be importing the beauty product names from Asia. I guess brushing at the surface is what we are best at. March 29, 2013 at 1:26pm
Victoria: I bought some Korean BB creams , and they are worlds apart from the stuff called BB cream here. Women in Asia definitely care about their skin, and the Japanese magazines (even the ones for teens) are filled with lots of advice on how to do face massage, masks and what to eat to improve your health (and the look of the skin) overall.

Mer: I find that very interesting about Asian culture, the willingness to actually put some effort into your goals, heh. March 30, 2013 at 6:17am
Victoria: Yes, and not being afraid of information! Since I travel to Asia for work, I usually observe how the fragrance information is conveyed to the consumers. You receive a whole tutorial on how to apply perfume, how to store it, how to use it. It’s fascinating! March 30, 2013 at 7:54am
Mer: I can imagine 🙂 March 30, 2013 at 8:04am
