10 Things All Makeup Addicts Know To Be True

The thrill. The excitement. The suspense. The agony. Shopping for makeup can be a difficult and emotional trip. Trust me. Whether you’ve been waiting on that one foundation to be released for months now, or you just can’t decide which Kat Von D lipstick to purchase next, shopping for makeup can get very real. Countless trips to Sephora and MAC are just never enough if you’re a makeup addict—you’ve always got to have the next big thing (even if you already have a stockpile of makeup at home). If you happen to be a makeup addict (no shame in your game), these are some feelings you can probably relate to:

1. When you want to swatch a product but there’s no tester:


Like seriously, if I can't swatch every lipstick color on my hand, is it even a real makeup trip?

2. Waiting on MAC to start a rewards program:

Wait for it... Wait for it...

3. When you realize MAC started a rewards program:

Hallelujah!

4. When you become a VIB at Sephora:

There is no better feeling in the world than being recognized for your reckless spending habits. Thank you for the appreciation, Sephora. Like I said before, no shame.

5. When you find out you can sample products at MAC and Sephora:

I never have to buy foundation again, I thought to myself as I asked for my sixth sample of the new Nars foundation.

6. When the product you've been waiting to buy online for months sells out in two minutes:

What kind of cruel world is this?! Was I not the only one that knew this was coming out?!

7. When someone says, "Don't you already have that lipstick/eyeshadow/blush color?"

Clearly, this red lipstick is different from the last red lipstick I bought. Clearly.

8. When people say that a cheaper product is a dupe for a high end product:

No. Just no.

9. When people judge you for spending over $50 on one makeup product:

For the last time, no shame in my game.

10. When JCPenney's Sephora doesn't carry as many products as a regular Sephora:

Is this a sick joke?

Being a makeup addict is a tough job. It takes a brave soul to truly embark on the journey that is makeup shopping. But, hey, don't let anyone cramp your style. Keep spending the funds on the face, girl!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
