Cosmania used to sell their beauty products online only, but since a few months their ‘Lab’ in Hotel Droog is open for business – and with business we are talking smelling, touching and trying just about any of the many delicious and exclusive beauty products from brands that are not really available anywhere else in The Netherlands.

It is like a little candy store for huge beauty addicts with a special affection towards stuff that does not have any scary ingredients. The amazing (Malin + Goetz) candles, colorful cans of SteamCream, nailpolish pens from Laqa & Co and the famous silver powder from Mario Badescu.

Apart from bringing notebooks and a pen to write everything you see down and all, there is one thing that is super important during Fashion Week and that is keeping your skin moisturized. Since I do not live in one of the Fashion Week capitals, Fashion Week season to me is also travelling season. Tons of travelling means dry skin (read; airco!) if you do not take extra care of it.
