The naked truth?

About 70 percent of LUSH Cosmetics’s products are sold naked without packaging (even their shampoo)! By reducing their dependence on virgin plastics, LUSH is helping to reduce landfill waste and CO2 emissions – all without compromising the quality of their products.

Their lust-worthy line of solid bath products are hand-made with gentle, natural ingredients that use aromatic properties to soothe and smooth. What’s more, the compact little slices of Heaven are a long-lasting and economical alternative to pricier liquid options.

Wanna learn how you can get naked?

In celebration of Earth Week, EcoSalon is giving away three sets of LUSH’s most popular naked products. Each set includes one Therapy Massage Bar, Buffy Body Butter, Solid Sugar Scrub, Godiva Shampoo Bar, and Vanilla in the Mist Soap. The sets come neatly packaged in LUSH’s eco-conscious Knot-Wraps, which are gorgeous scarves made from vintage or vegan fabrics that can be re-used for any number of purposes (think purse, grocery bag, decor, you name it).

The total packaging-free package retails for $40, but three lucky EcoSalon readers will score them for free.

Excited?

At EcoSalon, we love versatile clothing as much as our giveaways (and eco-designers!). The Diane dress, by designer cmarchuska, is one of those multi-tasking talents.

Is it a tunic? Is it a dress? One thing we do know is that it’s beautiful.

Draped softly at the neck and shaped just enough to skim your sides, the Diane looks lovely worn alone or with accoutrements.

Hailing from a Wall Street background, designer Christine Marchuska knows what looks good on a woman during and after office hours. Most of her designs move you smoothly from nine to five to a late night cocktail soiree.

In other words, when you arrive at work wearing the Diane with a blazer, wide belt and a pencil skirt and heels, you can simply peel away the layers to the essential before heading off to happy hour.

Based on comments from the last giveaway, you creative ladies know how to get the most from your wardrobe. For those of you in warmer climates, we cold-weather girls are heartened by your ideas and will live vicariously through you when you say, “Accoutrements? I’ll wear this one as is.”

How would you wear it? Leave a comment below and you are one registered woman. Good luck!
