Karma Kream Hand And Body Lotion

With it's creamy consistency and it's stunning aroma, this is a hand and body lotion that both new and old fans of Lush are going to love and that fans of the Karma family are going to treasure.

I wouldn't say I'm the number one fan of the Karma scent, but I definitely appreciate how good it smells and so when I had some spare money left over from my purchases from the Lush Kitchen, I decided to buy this lotion and give it a try.

If you have never used a Karma product before, I would describe the smell as earthy, sweet and citrusy all in one. It may sound disgusting that all three of these scents have been mixed together, but it wouldn't be one of Lush's most sought after scents for no reason; and that's because the earthy aroma is very much in the background of the scent family. 

The earthy element of Karma comes from the patchouli oil, lavenden oil and pine oil, the sweet smell is created by tincture of benzoin, orange flower water and the sweet orange oil and the citrus scent comes from lemongrass oil and elemi oil.

The most dominating smells are those of the sweet and citrus elements. 

After applying this lotion after I had stepped out of the shower and towelled myself dry, I noticed that the consistency of the cream was quite thick and gloopy but this didn't stop it from being one of those lotions where it's thick and therefore you have to use loads of it. I have found that with quite a lot of the products from Lush, it doesn't matter whether their creams have a thick or thin consistency, their creams absorb beautifully into the skin.

It's very similar to Tropical Jungle body lotion in the sense that if you a little bit too much then your skin will end up feeling greasy for a while after first applying it. Lush states that you can use Karma Kream in generous amounts but I recommend that you don't unless you want a greasy body.

I only applied a little amount to each area of my body so my skin didn't feel greasy at all. My body felt moisturised and silky smooth due to the almond oil and the cocoa butter that has been jam-packed into this fabulous lotion.

On other days, I also tested Karma Kream out as just a hand lotion and it worked just as well as it did with as a body lotion. My hands felt moisturised for hours and hours and didn't feel greasy at all as long as I didn't use too much of it. 

The longevity of the cream is also impressive. The smell lasted for a good couple hours on my skin and I loved walking around my house smelling of Karma and I also combined the lotion with spritzing my body with the Karma perfume which was gorgeous. The moisturising properties of the lotion were also very very good. I woke up the next morning (I came out of the shower about 8pm the previous night) and my body still felt smooth. Karma Kream hand and body lotion probably has the longest longevity of moisturising out of all the other lotions that Lush release.

This is probably one of my favourite creams from Lush and I will definitely be purchasing some more once I have finished my 225g tub.
