You guys KNOW we love our BB (and CC) creams. They're great for a post-gym skin fix, not to mention just generally giving your face a well-nourished, even-toned glow. And then there was Pantene, who came out with BB cream for hair -- which blew our minds, but only in the best way possible.

Now, the BB craze has made it's way into our mouths -- in the form of tea. Launched by Kusmi, the chic French tea company, the loose-leaf BB Detox Tea is designed to make you get gorgeous, too. But does it really work, especially with a price tag of $20?

First of all, this is literally the most delicious tea I've had...ever. It's a mix of mate, grapefruit, green tea and rooibos (which I can never pronounce) that's light and refreshing and, yep, caffeinated, to give you a sweet buzz, too.

Kusmi says the combo of green tea and mate help de-puff your entire body, while green tea, dandelion and roobios fight off free radicals cause they're chockfull of antioxidants. Did I see that result immediately? Honestly, I'm too much of a strung out mess from grad school finals to tell.

But, I am sure about one thing. I look way better when I drink a ton of water and this stuff is a great way to hydrate without feeling like a fish. I brewed the stuff hot -- and iced -- and wanted more every time. In fact, I wish I had a mug right now...
