MAC has teamed up with fashion designer Nicola Formichetti for a limited edition super cool panda-theme collection: MAC NICOPANDA. The former Mugler creative director who also worked at Uniqlo and Diesel has created his own streetwear brand Nicopanda since 2011.
The Kawaii-themed collection with a super cute black and white packaging includes cheek and eyeshadows palettes, lipsticks,  lipglosses, false lashes, face powder, makeup brushes, a makeup bag and stickers. The super cute and playful face stickers shaped to name a few like heart, bows and tear drops they add a beautiful touch and unexpected detail to any look.
 I am loving to play with colour lately especially if I am going on a night out, this is why I really like NICOPANDA's Lipglass in Dreamz. A blue lipglass? Yes, please. As it is a beautiful dark cool blue with a sparkle finish that would give any evening black outfit an edge! On the other hand for my everyday look I am really loving Pink-Off Lipstick, a light-medium pink with warm undertones that looks good with just about anything! Be seduced by the collection's vibrant hues and go wild with daring lipstick shades that go from bright pink to mint, deep plum and dark navy. Experiment with the avant-garde face palettes and have fun with the jewellery like face sticker. With this collection is all about super kawaii-cute funk.

WELLA PROFESSIONALS presents INVIGO

 Life becomes faster and time more and more precious. Between work, household and family, women crave little time off. However, rest and relaxation often end up at the end of the to-do list, as does pampering the hair, which sooner or later will take its tool: hair feels strained, tired and dull. Wella Professionals has therefore developed INVIGO, a highly effective, invigorating hair care for women to pamper their hair.

Dr. Hauschka new Discovery Kits

For all those who think that good things come in small packages Dr. Hauschka gives the Discovery Kits a new and more sustainable look. They no longer come in a tin box, but in a packaging made from 100% recycled cardboard. Made with great care, they are treated with as much attention as the original formats and carefully packed by hand. The kits make for nice gifts ideas and are a great way to discover the Dr. Hauschka universe!
In addition, the handy travel sized slip easily into the purse or cabin luggage. But it is only by using them that the products reveal their true virtues, as a refreshing treatment or a regenerating treatment for a weekend excursion or small getaways. 



"Effective & Essential"

We can not take back time, but we can support skin's vitality, stimulate it and 
maintain its hydration so that it is firmer. 
The "effective & essential" kit is ideal for discovering the 
regenerating Dr. Hauschka treatment.
 The set now contains the Restructuring Mask with a smoothing and toning effect. 





"Pure & Fine Skin"

The "pure & fine skin" kit contains everything needed to treat skin prone to impurities. 
The basic care combined with intensive care allows the skin to regain its natural balance. 
That's why this box contains two Dr. Hauschka masks. 
We recommend the Revitalizing Mask in addition to the Cleansing Mask. 
The result? The skin texture is refined and complexion is more even.





"Favourites"

 All Dr. Hauschka's favorite products in a box. 
Whether for a weekend getaway, an overnight stay at a friend's house or 
simply to discover 
the Dr. Hauschka's healing ritual, the "must-have" kit
 is always the perfect companion. 
In addition to the samples, it contains the very popular Lip Care Stick.





"Night & Active"

Once the day is over, when our mind is at rest, nighttime processes take place in our body. 
The skin takes advantage of our hours of sleep to renew itself. 
Since during the night skin does not need protection against
 external aggressions to regenerate, 
Dr. Hauschka relies on a non-greasy night care. 
The "night & active" kit is therefore perfect for discovering this concept. 
And if the skin pulls a little at first when you use this type of non-greasy care, 
we recommend the Revitalizing Mask. 
Clean the skin the Cleansing Milk before bedtime, 
then apply a small amount of Night Toning Serum.

7 secrets behind the Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew

This week I was invited by Starbucks to a special tasting event of the Nitro Cold Brew.
It's no secret that the Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew has become a favorite drinks overnight. But why is that? Here are 7 secrets behind the Nitro Cold Brew:



1. It is poured vertically

There's a reason that the Nitro Cold Brew is poured into a mug that's just standing on the counter. In contrast, beer is held diagonally under the tap to prevent the formation of air bubbles - we want to have these "bubbles"!


2. It is served in a transparent cup

The Nitro Cold Brew is always served in a transparent cup, so that the cascade of nitrogen "Bubbles" is particularly good.



3. No ice

The Nitro Cold Brew is served without ice to further enhance the velvety soft texture.



4. Low calories

When people try Nitro Cold Brew, they love the creamy taste and assume that it's high in calories. But that's not true! A tall Nitro Cold Brew has only 4 calories and 0 grams of sugar.



5. It is unsweetened

The Nitro Cold Brew is served unsweetened to highlight the flavour created by the Cold Brew process. If you still want to enjoy the Nitro Cold Brew a bit sweeter, you can fall back on the new variants with cold milk foam.



6. It has no contact with hot water

Cold Brew is made using a special brewing method, whereby coffee does not come into contact with hot water. Cold water and time replace the heat to extract the flavour.



7. It is slowly steeped

The Nitro Cold Brew is handcrafted. The coffee is gently and slowly steeped  in cold water for more than 20 hours.








NITRO COLD BREW WITH COLD FOAM New!

The Nitro Cold Brew is poured for this new variant 
over a velvety, cold milk foam. 
This creates a layer where coffee and foam meet.







NITRO COLD BREW WITH CARAMEL COLD FOAM New!

Like the Nitro Cold Brew with Cold Foam, the Nitro Cold Brew is poured
 over cold milk foam even with this fine novelty. 
Then soft caramel is added to ensure a slightly sweet finish.
