10 Things That Happen When You're Obsessed With Make-up

1.) Every trip to town involves a stop at the makeup counter.



Even if you are just going grocery shopping for eggs and milk, you better believe you're gonna make a stop at the Cover Girl lipsticks.

2.) What used to take you 30 minutes to do your make up, now takes you 2 hours.


Beauty takes time and perfection. These cheeks won't contour themseleves and neither will my eyes wing with out the flick of the wrist.

3.) Your boyfriend even knows what contouring is and how to do it.


"Dude, what is your girlfriend doing to her face?" "It's called contouring. It's supposed to reshape the face making shadows and hilights in places they wouldn't normally be. It's transforming, bro."

4.) You offer to do everyone and anyone's make up. All the time.


I myself find excuses to do someone's makeup. Oh, you're going to the gym with your boyfriend? Let me do your make-up.

5.) Most of your paycheck goes toward the new Urban Decay eyeshadow.


*sigh* Why must you be so beautiful, yet so expensive?

6.) Most of whom you follow on Instagram are all make-up artists.


We are all on a first name basis. Just kidding, but I can totally tell whose lips are whose.

7.) Your brushes cost more than your actual make-up.


My blending sponge is my best friend. Her name is Penelope and she costs more than my life is even worth.

8.) Your clothing looks like you're a street rat and hair looks a mess, but your make up is on fleek.


Yes, I know my hair is still wet. I didn't have time to blow dry my hair because my wings and eyebrows wouldn't cooperate with me today.


9.) You've considered dropping out of college to be a make-up artist.


If I am being honest, I've thought about dropping out to become a stripper as well because of..well, college. But, I'm so serious about this one! I want to be Beyoncés make-up artist.

10.) Halloween is your favorite holiday because it gives you an excuse to try different colors on your face and not being judged.


I definitely did a sugar skull with three different types of eyeliner I bought in the shades of pink, purple, and blue. I knew they'd come in handy one day!

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.
