How to Snag Summer's Hottest Makeup Trends!




Bring on the COLOR! This summer is bringing about major color trends that we are going gaga for. Most summers are filled with shimmery sheers, glossy nudes and "no-makeup" makeup. This summer, we've got some new trends in town that we are loving. Color is making a comeback, and we're not talking about your average teal or cobalt blue. Pink, is the color to wear this season and we have just the items to help you rock this girly shade, with some edge of course.

Don't let labels stop you from reaching summer trend potential. For example, Blush isn't just for your cheeks! Tulip Blush is the perfect shade to achieve this winged, pink look. Use your concealer brush to apply (patting motions) and use the precision tip of the brush to pull the color out into a wing. Finish the look with a swipe of Black Eye Pencil and loads of Volumizing Mascara.





Amp up this look by smoking out the Tulip Blush on top and bottom lash line, then pat on a small amount of Refresh PM for a glossy, grungy finish.





Pink Lips are also to die for this season, they boast confidence, passion and fun. We love Passion Lip Stick for it's bright appearance and semi-matte finish. If you want to pump up the chroma of this pink, tap Tulip Blush and Amethyst Water Color Eyeshadow into the center of the lower lip for a multi-dimensional pucker.

Pair a bright pink lip with a subtle smokey eye and a halo of golden/peach blush like, Spring Crush.



The last of our go-to trends is the Underline. Add drama to your eyes while making them look larger and brighter by lining only the lower lashline with Blue or Plum Eye Pencil. Smoke it out and load up on mascara for a fun, unique twist on liner.

Osmosis at Home: Balance your Chakra's with Color


Obtaining spiritual balance can feel like a full time job. It takes commitment and hard work to tap into yourself and provide your spirit with what it needs to flourish. Our Chakras, which represents different parts of our being, can be quite powerful when all are aligned. That is why we have designed some tips on gaining balance through color to keep your spirit happy.


Root Chakra (1): Your root chakra is located near your pelvic floor. This chakra connects you to the earth providing grounded roots in your life. To feel more grounded, place pops of red and onyx around your living room and outdoor patio. Place stones like Onyx, Ruby, and Red Jasper around things from the earth like houseplants, flowers, or outdoor rugs.


Sacral Chakra (2): Located near your reproductive organs, the Sacral Chakra connects us to our compassion, sexuality, and joy. To bring balance to this Chakra, place a vase, decorative bowl, or gem stone with orange hues in your bedroom or bathroom. Tigers eye and Fire Opal are great stones to utilize for balance of your second chakra.

Solar Plexus Chakra (3): This chakra is your energy source. Associated with the fire element, your solar plexus provides confidence, cheery disposition, and self love. Decorate your space with plenty of yellow, topaz, and light orange. Citrine, Topaz, and Moonstone are great gems to add to your bathroom so they are the first thing you see upon waking up to start your day. 


Heart Chakra: (4): Our heart chakra is just as it sounds, connecting us to our outside relationships and love. A weak heart chakra can contribute to rocky relationships fueled by jealousy and anger. To gain balance and clarity to your heart chakra, surround yourself with soft pinks and greens. Rose Quartz is the perfect stone to carry with you at all times to keep your heart in line.


Throat Chakra (5): Our throat chakra give us our voice. This is our communication center which feeds off of shades of blue for balance and clarity. Blue Lace Agate and Turquoise are great colors to keep in your office or near your work space for a better sense of vocal balance.


Third Eye Chakra (6): This is our center, representing our intuition, senses, and vision of the world. A balanced third eye can provide deep insight into our lives and the lives of others. Surround yourself with shades of indigo and stones of Lapis Lazuli all around your home to feel connected to your intuition and spirit.



Crown Chakra (7): located at the base of your head, our crown chakra provides mental clarity and balance of the nerves. Amethyst is the perfect gem to sleep next to in order to quiet the mind and sooth your nervous system. Sleeping on light purple sheets wouldn't hurt either.



Take advantage of these colors to better balance your spirit. Check out our makeup to match some of these chakra shades with your looks! Now go find some gems and stones, take a deep breath, and release yourself to your chakra needs.
