I'm not responsible for what I buy while in Sephora.

10 Things Only Beauty Addicts Know To Be True

Everyone has their own hobbies. Some people enjoy playing sports, while others get a rush from doing extreme-adrenaline activities. Well, I enjoy makeup and anything related to beauty. If someone were to take a glance at my vanity, most would assume I'm an aspiring makeup artist or at least a kleptomaniac. Nope, I'm just a tad bit addicted to makeup, but there are always worse things that I could be addicted to. Am I right or am I right?

Here's how to know if your makeup fascination has hit the next level.

1. Walking into Sephora, or any beauty store, feels like you are entering Heaven's gates.

My idea of a perfect day is spending all 24 hours of it wandering through Sephora's majestic aisles.

2. Ninety-nine percent of the accounts you follow on social media are makeup artists.

You basically do this so you can find out what products they use, in hopes of becoming a bombshell like them.

3. You've made friends with the workers at your local beauty store.

Some people feel accomplished when the Starbucks barista remembers their name and order. Me, on the other hand, well, I cry hypothetical tears of joy when the Sephora makeup artist remembers me and compliments my makeup. When you walk into Sephora, all hell breaks loose.

I came in looking for a new eyeliner and somehow I ended up with two new mascaras, four different lipsticks and glosses, along with a new foundation. I'm still working on the whole self-control thing.

4. You're genuinely afraid for your bank account when you're older.

Makeup isn't cheap and it's only going to become more expensive. I'm highly considering creating a GoFundMe account in order to raise money to be able to afford the newest MAC collection. Help a girl out, I'll link it to my Facebook page. All donations welcome!

5. Eyebrows are legitimately your life.

Eyebrows are the most important feature of your face. If you do not believe me, I dare you to google "Drake without eyebrows."

My motto is, "The only person you can trust with your eyebrows is yourself and the brand Anastasia Beverly Hills." Try her Brow Wiz product once, and your life will never be the same.

6. It physically pains you to see someone with clumps in their mascara.

Do yourself a favor and buy Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara. Your eyelashes will be thick and plump, minus the clumps that make your eyelashes look like a spider's legs. Clumped lashes are plainly uncalled for.

7. You envy those who are blessed with winged-eyeliner skills.

Let's be real here: I've probably spent more time trying to perfect my winged eyeliner than I've spent studying for some midterms. Sorry, parents.

8. Getting ready to go out is actually more fun than going out.

It's like picking out a glamorous outfit for your face.

9. You believe "contouring" should be a skill that can be placed on a resume.

I don't feel like I even need to explain this one. These cheeks don't carve themselves overnight, honey.

10. You wear makeup for yourself, not some guy.

This is 100 percent true. Do you think a guy can tell the difference between MAC's "Shy Girl" and "Angel?" The answer is, no, he can't -- but I can! If I want to go all out and cover my face with foundation and concealer, I'm going to. If I feel like having a glamorous, Kim Kardashian look, you can bet that I will bronze and contour the hell out of my face. No, I'm not trying to lie to you about my appearance, nor do I care what your reaction is about it. Makeup is an art form for the face, just like fashion is an art form for the body.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
