A restaurant served creative dishes with the theme of “cosmetics” and “skincare products” has become a sensation among female customers in northwestern China’s Xi’an City. Not only are these edible items served in vivid shapes, but they also add special memories to your dining experience. /VCG Photo
Lipsticks are made from chocolates of different flavors; makeup brushes from crisp cookies; skincare serums from smoothies; lotions from lychee drinks and facial creams from jelly and mousse. /VCG Photo
The whole set which includes six lipsticks and brushes costs 138 yuan (about 20.8 US dollars) and has a limited supply every day, so customers have to book in advance. /VCG Photo
