All of these best selling products are infused with Rose Quartz – the stone directly connected to your heart chakra. This is the center of love for yourself and others. One of the most commonly blocked chakras, rebalancing it can awaken a lot more love for yourself and the people around you. Paint your lips and lids with the stone of love in romantic, ethereal shades that feel like love itself.
How Rose Quartz is Formed:
Rose Quartz is formed when silicon dioxide is mixed with small amounts of iron, titanium or manganese. When this solution gets trapped inside a lava bubble and the water evaporates, the silicon and oxygen ions arrange themselves into a crystal pattern.
Rose Quartz For Your Lips and Skin:
Rose Quartz helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, redness, and fine lines.

What Makes a Diamond?
Diamonds are formed when molten carbon cools quickly under the earth's crust. They're the only gemstone made of just one element - carbon.
Diamonds for your Lashes:

What Amber is Made Of:

Citrine for Your Skin:
Citrine helps your skin renew itself by releasing toxicity and restoring radiance.
How To Get The Most Out Of Crystals:
Crystals work best if they're not left to do all the work by themselves. For the highest benefit, pair the crystal's natural energy with your own clear thoughts and intentions. It's proven that where thought goes, energy flows. So, use your crystals to amplify your positive thoughts and intentions.
