Think pink

There are colours that come and go-colours that have life spans of a season or two and then phase out into obscurity. And then there are colours that literally equate to femininity and speak volumes when it comes to characteristics such as being prim, proper and pretty. With the introduction of the new pink Lux, it is time to pay tribute to the fashion benchmark colour of pink once again. So while you celebrate the oh-so-heavenly pink in the toiletries that you use, let similar tones be reflected in other usables as well because saying it as simply as can be said-Pink is in!

Cell Phones
Mobile phones have long ceased to be communication utility devices and have been raised to the ranks of fashion statements; so if you're one who opts for a phone only if it is good-looking-you're not alone. And by good-looking not just small and slick, but colour consideration brought into play as well. So in our pink promotion crusade, first mention goes to hot pink cell phones. While black, white and silver may work well for sophistication, pink phones speak their own language of spunk and flair. Whether they are phones that originally come in this colour or ones that you get casing for, hot pink mobiles are all the rage this season.

Note Books
If being feminine is something that you thrive on, then you would probably want to see it through to all kinds of accessories that you use inclusive of stationery. If not for core education purposes, then at least for lyrics, quotes, sketches (for the artistically inclined) and the special summation of pages in which you pour your heart out (diary, journal whatever you choose to call it).

After all, who would want to pen down their deepest, darkest feelings in a greasy, tattered, run-of-the-mill khata? So waste time not and allow yourself to be inspired by Reese Witherspoon's furry, frilly pink notebook in Legally Blonde.

Laptops
Ah yes, wouldn't we all love one of those-pink, blue, red, green, yellow whatever the colour. Okay so maybe not yellow, but hey laptops are laptops. And of course if you are going to get one anyways, why not make it pretty? And since pink is synonymous to pretty, go all out for the glitz factor when it comes to gadgets as well. If you're as technology-retarded as I am, then fancy looks are going to be near about all that will draw you to this product or that.

Mugs
So let's move on to more everyday products in our bid to let pink seep into as many corners as we can. Gone are the days of using sullen, dull-coloured mugs for your daily dose of tea and caffeine; it's not just what you eat or drink that matters but what you serve in as well.

Beads
With recent fashion trends dictating the use of beads in almost everything from self-made jewellery to kameez embellishments to cell phone accessories, you would do well to stock up on your supply of pink beads that will come to use in more ways than one.

Long gone are the days of statements that made claims such as “Black is the new pink” or “Orange is the new pink” because with Lux’s new pink soap, Pink is the new pink!
