What are pigment pots? Usually you see them at your local MAC store, they are little bottles filled with loose iridescent powder in numerous colors. Most of the time you are mystified by them, and just buy a whole bunch without really knowing how to utilize them. Pigment pots are pretty self explanatory. They are just the basic pigment color with out any added chemicals or bonds to make them into eyeshadow or lipstick or blush. Just the basics. So that leaves you with many different options on how to use them. And here are four simple ways you can turn your pigments into your all purpose beauty tool…
1. Liquid Eyeliner
By just adding a little water and a slim eyeliner brush, you can turn your pigments into eyeliner. The water bonds the pigments together for that liquid feel, and the brush helps you to apply it with precision. (see my how to make the perfect cat eye post for more instructions on application)
2. Nail Polish
Add a little ( or a lot) of your pigment to some clear nail polish. Mix it in very well, and Viola! You have your own custom nail color!
3. Lipstick
Mix together one part vaseline, or your favorite clear lip balm, and one part pigment and you have your own tinted lipstick or balm. Depending on how strong you want the color add more or less of the pigment.
4. Blush
And my finally my favorite, blush! Dabbling your fingers in some gold or peach pigments and rubbing it into your cheeks gives you much more color and lasts longer than your typical blush.
I hope you enjoyed these tips! What are your favorite ways for using your pigment pots?
Accessories can make an outfit. And sometimes slipping into your boyfriend’s side of the closet is the best way to jazz up your outfit! Bow-ties are a fun alternative to your traditional accessory, and when done right, can add a feminine touch to your business attire. Bow-ties come in all kinds of sizes and colors, and can be worn with a blazer, pants, skirts and even jeans and a collared shirt.

I believe that when you are considering going on an interview, for whatever kind of job, it is important to look as professional as possible. Pencil skirts, heels, demure hemlines and necklines are a must. But you also want to show your future employer that you are not just another dull nobody. So feel free to add a little sass to your outfit. An interesting shoe, skirt or handbag. Something small, but yet leaves an impression. Overall, you want your outfit to show the unique person that you are, and also how qualified. Happy job hunting!
I cant even begin to say how much I love this collection. Phoebe Philo made the perfect marriage of comfort and elegance (with a little bit of functionality) to bring a line of clothing that is just begging to be worn. The soft creams and jewel tones combined with the rounded shapes give the clothing a modern feel. And I am absolutely obsessed with those chokers.
I love making beauty products from scratch. Its affordable, fun and the results are usually better than what I bought in the store. What better than a beauty product that I use everyday? Surprisingly DIY lip balm is very easy to make. Heres how you do it..

Head Ties are a wonderful trend that has picked up in the past few years that is both functional and fashionable. There are a millions ways to do it, and whether you are tying up your whole hair or just throwing in a cute bow, head ties make the top of my list for hair accessories.
if your like me, it can be a pain sometimes coming up with a last minute outfit, especially something as specific as an all white party. So here is a little inspiration to jazz up your closet in case you ever get invited to one. Keep your outfit fresh by playing with patterns and textures, its all white, so you have a lot of leeway when it comes to the accessories. Gold and white look fabulous together so make sure you play up the sparkle and shine. Overall, just have fun with it 🙂
