22 Thoughts You've Had While Buying Makeup
tennessean

You know what they say: "Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry because then you'll buy more food than you planned." Well, unfortunately, there isn't a rule like that when it comes to makeup. Whether you have no makeup on or went full glam squad, there's nothing that can stop you when you shop for makeup. Here are some thoughts you probably had going through your mind when you shop for makeup.

1. "I think I'm only going to browse today..."

2. "I mean, it's not like I need anything right now..."

3. "Oh man, I forgot that palette was coming out... nope — I'm not going to do it."

4. "Do I need a refill on anything? I might... But I shouldn't..."

5. "Maybe I should refill my liquid liner just in case... You never know when you're going to run out!"

6. "Oh man, that worker's going to come over and ask me if I need any help..."

7. "There are a lot of things in my life I need help with, but I'm not going to open that door right now."

8. "How many brushes is too many brushes? I mean I only ever use the same ones anyways..."

9. "...But this one gives me an airbrushed look. I work hard on my makeup I deserve to look computer generated."

10. "Oh no, this palette has mattes AND shimmers... It's like killing two birds with one gorgeous stone..."

11. "Oh my god that mascara makes your eyelashes so long that they look like false lashes!"

12. "...Oh, those are false lashes..."

13. "Another worker is coming over like I get you guys work on commission but can I please be left to fight my inner demons alone?"

14. "This lipstick is so red it resembles the blood of my enemies... I don't think I've ever needed something more."

15. "Okay, I have to stop. I should just give up while I'm ahead."

16. "...Ugh but that highlighter is so shimmery it could make my face shine as brightly as my personality..."

17. "Ha, who am I kidding my personality doesn't shine nearly as brightly as this... Whatever I'm still going to buy it."

18. "Okay, I am ready to check out. After I grab this lip liner real quick."

19. "Yes, I did find everything okay, thank you! I always find everything okay when I lose all of my self-control."

20. "Wow, my bank account and I were both very unprepared for this trip."

21. "Well, I should be all set for a while now!"

22. "...Huh, that new palette comes out in a couple weeks. I guess that means I'll come back in a couple weeks."

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.

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.

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.
