The new LUSH toothy tabs are awesome. I wasn’t sure what to think of a dry toothpaste but I love them. You just nibble on one and when you start brushing you get the best foaming action. And my teeth feel really clean after. The flavors are weird and wonderful I like to switch it up each time I brush.

While peppermint toothpaste might be the norm, here at LUSH we challenge what’s expected and encourage our customers to think about the impacts of their beauty routine on the environment. Enter Toothy Tabs, LUSH’s newest invention that takes conventional toothpaste and literally strips it down.

Toothy Tabs are a brand new, patented idea from LUSH, these solid tabs eradicate the need for both packaging and preservatives, and come in a handy 100% recycled box. Each pack contains 40 tabs, you simply pop one in your mouth, crush it a little and continue to brush as normal with your toothbrush and water.

Toothy Tabs come in six fabulous flavours and feature the most beautiful natural ingredients and essential oils to freshen and perfume the breath, but also have antiseptic qualities used for years in dentistry. Only fresh, natural ingredients are used to clean the teeth beautifully, but each Toothy Tab offers something different – from a mouth freshener to a palate cleanser.

Toothy Tabs $3.95 are available at LUSH Shops and LUSHusa.com.

I love the Original Diva Plaited headband! Its so easy to use  the elastic bottom makes it comfortable to wear for long periods. I have had a lot of fun trying different styles using the braid and I just secure it with a few bobby pins and it stays put.

The new Plaited Headband by Original Diva is an affordable option for getting that great braided headband look without all the work. The lightweight hair accessory is made with heat resistant synthetic hair and is available in 4 different colors: brown, light brown, dark red brown and light blond.
