The Pantone Color Institute just named “Tangerine Tango,” a radiant red-orange hue, as the top color for 2012. In fashion, this amped up color is sure to lift spirits and give an energy boost, but if wearing the color is too much for you, give one of LUSH’s tempting tangerine-colored concoctions a try. Karma soap and perfume, which have been cult favorites long before this Pantone announcement, are bold beautifiers, with even spicier scents!

Up your Karma quotient as we head into 2012 with Karma soap, sure to turn a boring shower into a truly groovy experience. The spicy orange, lemongrass, pine and patchouli essential oils will balance a tired mood and transport you back to the days of flower power! The scent lingers long after you’ve washed and is sure to reward you with love and kindness, and if not, at least a lovely smell. One whiff and you’ll be hooked – for this life and the next (sold by weight $7.95 for 3.5 oz).

Karma perfume is an ageless classic. This signature LUSH scent, like its tangerine color, will evoke a sense of euphoria, and peaceful well-being. Karma contains Patchouli, which will make you more objective, orange oil to help revive, lemongrass to lifts spirits and elemi to make you feel joyful when you’ve fallen onto some bad karma. Some fall for it without realizing what’s happening, while others love it from the first sniff (available in 3 sizes: $42.95 1 oz/$14.95 .3 oz/$10.95 solid).

Other Karma favorites include the Karma bubble bar, Karma Kream, Karma Komba solid shampoo, and Karma bath melt. Visit www.lushusa.com to learn more.

This is a really great Blow Dry Lotion, I have used sprays before but this is my first foray into a lotion. Its super light and doesn’t gunk up my hair but really speeds the drying time. After a few days use my ends are looking better and my hair is so soft and frizz free! It even works great when I air dry my hair and leave it curly.
