No problem! Along with the bundles we currently offer, we are delighted to custom-make bundles that YOU want, tailored to your individual needs! We are currently working on our newest innovation: a “Suggest A Bundle” button that you can click to suggest items that you would like to see in a new bundle. You can give your bundle a name, and even suggest what you think would be a fair price for it, and we will do our very best to meet that price. If we can't meet it, we will get as close to the price as we can.

MineralHygienics: The Best Of The Best Mineral makeup is one of the best advancements made in cosmetics in recent years. These products are made from natural ingredients that the body will not react to. Mineral makeup like MineralHygienics is free of such irritating substances as talc, chemical dyes, man made fragrances, petro-chemicals, and other ingredients that can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions. Instead, these lines of cosmetics are made purely from natural minerals that your skin and body will recognize and accept, giving you smooth, perfect coverage that is comfortable and actually good for your skin. Women who use mineral makeup need not worry about clogged pores because of their cosmetics. While mineral makeup adheres to the skin for long lasting beauty, it does not soak into the skin where it is difficult to cleanse from your pores. In addition, some mineral makeup products have special blends of minerals that will not only smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; they will actually help soothe and rejuvenate the skin so you look younger even when you are not wearing any makeup at all. There are obvious advantages to using cosmetics that are naturally healthy for your skin. This is such a break through because never before have women been able to achieve such perfect coverage without dealing with a caked on makeup look and without putting up with clogged pores and an uncomfortable, oppressive “made up” feeling. In fact, mineral makeup even has a natural sunscreen in it so you do not have to slather your face with additional creams. The result is an effect, comfortable cosmetic option that soothes, beautifies, and protects your skin. A great example of the mineral makeup on the market today is MineralHygienics. This line of cosmetics has taken the wonders of mineral makeup and ramped it up a notch. While other mineral products will absorb your own skin’s oils throughout the day, MineralHygienics will not, meaning that your skin feels as light and fresh at the end of the day as it did when you first put it on. In addition, MineralHygienics uses even fewer ingredients than many of their counterparts do, and this means that you enjoy an even lighter feel without sacrificing effectiveness.

For the first-time buyer, purchasing a diamond can be overwhelming and confusing. The largest diamond is not necessarily the best. How do you know which diamond is the best quality? Diamonds are graded for quality based on four factors known as the “Four Cs”: clarity, color, carat, and cut. Let's look at each of each factors .Clarity refers to the diamond's purity, i.e. how flawless it is. Even a diamond that looks flawless to the naked eye may have some slight internal characteristics, called “inclusions”, which may look like dark spots, clouds, or feathers. Inclusions decrease a diamond's value. A diamond with fewer or smaller inclusions will look more brilliant than a diamond of the same cut and color with more or larger inclusions. Standards of diamond clarity are based on viewing the diamond at a magnification of 10. These standards were set by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The highest grade of clarity is “F”, for “Flawless.” This means that under 10x magnification, the stone appears completely clear, with no flaws or inclusions at all. The next grade is “IF”, for “Internally Flawless”. Fewer than 1% of all diamonds ever mined are F or IF. The next grades going down the list are VVS1 (“Very Very Slight Inclusions”, which means tiny inclusions that are extremely difficult to find even under 10x magnification), VVS2 (tiny inclusions that are very difficult to find – yes, the grading difference is as subtle as “extremely difficult” vs. “very difficult”!), VS1 and VS2 (“Very Slight Inclusions”, meaning minor ones that are “difficult” or “somewhat difficult” to find under 10x magnification), S1 and S2 (slight inclusions which are easy to see at 10X magnification but cannot be seen with the naked eye – these diamonds are called “eye clean” for that reason), down to I1, I2, and I3 (inclusions and blemishes which CAN be seen with the naked eye).So, when buying a diamond, turn it on its side and look through it. If you see blemishes, it is obviously a lower-quality diamond. However, just because it looks clear to your eye doesn't mean it is a high-quality diamond. As we have seen, many inclusions cannot be seen with the naked eye. Ask the jeweler for the diamond's clarity rating and then use the guide above to see how clear the stone really is. Color simply refers to the diamond's color. Most diamonds appear clear or white at first glance, but if you compare diamonds side by side, you will see that they often have very slight shadings of yellow or brown. A truly colorless diamond, without even the slightest tinge of color, is very rare and very valuable. As with clarity, a diamond's value is diminished the more color it has. Diamond color is graded by the GSIA (Gemological Institute of America) scale, which is as follows:D, E, and F are the highest grades. A diamond with this grade is described as “Colorless”. The diamond looks totally clear, without even the slightest hint of color to the eye. These are the rarest and most valuable diamonds.The next grades are G, H, I, and J, which are described as “Near Colorless.” With this diamond, some color tint is visible during grading, but once the diamond is mounted in jewelry, the color is not visible and the diamond appears colorless to the eye. This is considered a nice diamond for fine jewelry.Next down the color scale are grades K, L, and M, which are “Faint Yellow.” This means a yellow or gray tint is obvious during grading, and even when the stone is mounted in a setting, a faint tinge of color can still be seen. The next grades are N through Z, called “Light Yellow,” which means that there is an obvious yellow or grayish color even when mounted.Last is a very interesting grade, Z+, which is called “Fancy.” This refers to diamonds that have a very bright, remarkable color such as bright pink, blue, or yellow. Although these diamonds are obviously far from colorless, some people like them because they are so unusual and colorful.Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. Most people notice the size of a diamond first and may automatically think a larger diamond is more valuable than a smaller one. But as stated earlier, the value depends largely on the color, clarity, and cut. Still, if two diamonds are of equal quality in terms of color, clarity and cut, the larger one WILL be more valuable. The average diamond weighs from .03 carats (which translates to a diamond of approximately 2 millimeters in diameter) to 1.25 carats (about 7 millimeters). Of course, we've all seen photos of famous celebrities waving around ostentatious diamond “bling” weighing several carats! Diamonds that weigh less than one carat may also be described in “points.” Each carat contains 100 points. Cut refers to how the diamond is cut. Most people don't think about this, but gem cutting is a very important craft. When diamonds are first mined from the earth, they look like beach glass. To turn them into beautiful gems for jewelry, they are cut with precise facets (the flat little sides). A round (or “brilliant”) shaped diamond has 58 facets. A well-cut diamond has very specific proportions that reflect the light back from the many facets in such a way as to give the diamond superb brilliance and fire. This gives the diamond its “sparkle.” If a diamond is cut too shallowly, the light will hit the diamond and simply come out the other side, without reflecting back. But if it is cut too deeply, the light will get lost in the pavilion (the middle part of the diamond) and likewise not reflect back to the top. So as you can see, the cut of a diamond is very important!The cut of a diamond also refers to its shape. There are several popular shapes of diamonds than you can choose for your jewelry.Cut is the hardest category to judge, because there are different standards. The strictest grading standard is that of the AGA (Accredited Gem Appraisers). Other diamond cut grading systems include the HCA (Holloway Cut Advisor), the AGS (American Gem Society), and the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). Talk to your jewelry retailer about which grading system they use.Now that you know all about diamonds, go pick out the perfect beautiful, sparkling gem for yourself!

History of Diamonds There is nothing like the beautiful shine and sparkle of diamonds. Diamonds have fascinated humans for thousands of years: the ancient Greeks thought that these sparkling gems were the tear drops of the gods, while the ancient Romans thought that diamonds were splinters from falling stars. These rare, precious gems immediately catch the eye, spark admiration of their exceptional beauty, and for centuries have symbolized love and romance. But where do diamonds come from? The answer is: deep within the earth, hundreds of miles below the surface. They start out as pure carbon, which turns into diamond crystal when under intense pressure and heated by molten rock. Over time, volcanic activity pushes the diamond closer to the earth's surface. This whole process takes a very long time: most diamonds that you see in the jewelry store today are more than 100 million years old! As the diamonds are pushed to the surface, another mineral, kimberlite, usually gets pushed up along with the diamonds. The kimberlite deposits form in long pipes that reach the earth's surface and give the ground a blue tinge. Diamond miners look for that blue tinge when deciding where to mine for diamonds. Once a diamond deposit is found, it takes a lot of work to obtain diamond from it. In fact, miners must blast, crush and process more than 250 tons of ore to yield just one carat of rough diamond, and only 20 percent of these rough diamonds are suitable to be cut into gems for jewelry. While diamonds have always been prized for their beauty, strength, and rarity, the custom of giving one's fiancee a diamond engagement ring didn't begin until the year 1477, when the Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy. She wore it on the fourth finger of her left hand because that finger was believed to contain a “vein of love” that went directly to the heart. The Archduke's gift sparked a new fashion of diamond engagement rings among royalty, the nobility, and the immensely wealthy. At the time, diamond deposits in the earth were rare and hard to find, and diamonds could only be mined from what are called primary and secondary deposits – that is, those close to the surface of the earth. The first large diamond deposits were found in India and Borneo. Because diamonds were so rare, only royalty and the very rich could afford these prized jewels. That began to change in 1870, when diamond mines were discovered in South Africa. This brought more diamonds to market. Other diamond mines were found over time, and as the supply of diamonds increased, the price began to go down. Although they were still expensive, the price was now within the reach of ordinary people. In the 1930s, sales of diamonds in Europe began to dwindle because of World War II, so diamond producers began to market the gems heavily in the United States. The U.S. soon became the biggest market for diamonds, and diamond engagement rings became customary for almost everyone, even regular working joes, who would save up for a diamond engagement ring as a very special and symbolic gift of love to give their true love when they proposed. Other diamond jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings represented style, class, and elegance, and women wore these treasured pieces for special occasions such as anniversaries or weddings or a fancy night out at the opera or a high-class restaurant. The upper-class wore diamond jewelry frequently as a symbol of their wealth and status. Even during the Great Depression, Americans valued diamond jewelry, since diamonds last forever and were seen as both an investment that would never lose value and as a treasured heirloom to pass down for generations. Today, diamond jewelry is both a romantic gift of love from a man to a woman and a special way for a woman to reward herself.

Even though these colors suite you, darker colors will look even better because they are contrast to your skin tones. Yes your skin can break all the rules when it comes to dark eyes and strong lips. Want to look ultimately sophisticated? Try cool-toned, dark smokey eyes (slate grays or bitter chocolate browns) and bright fuchsia or crimson lips. Make sure you keep your blush pale pink, sugar or rose pinks because they flatter you best.
