7 Dragon-Inspired Products

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. This zodiac symbol of good fortune, intense power, and free spiritedness also happens to coincide with a popular ingredient in many new beauty products: Dragon’s Blood.

Once a mythical ingredient in many witches’ brews, Dragon’s Blood is actually a resin obtained from plants. The shade of the resin is bright red, which makes this roundup of products containing the ingredient powerful and hypnotically beautiful.
