Overwhelming.

That's the word that comes to mind when I walk into Sephora, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Those who aren't beauty fans wonder why, since to them it's the same basic products throughout the entire store: foundation, lipstick, mascara, etc. The overwhelmed feeling comes into play when you realize there are simply too many variations of these products.

Do I stick with my Urban Decay foundation that I've been using for years? Or do I want to be trendy and see if the Fenty foundation is worth the hype? Should I buy the honey love MAC matte lipstick? Or step out of my comfort zone with a bright pink YSL shade?

Nevertheless, makeup fans all over the world can agree that they've had these thoughts while shopping in Sephora at least once in their lives.

1. Maybe I'll try something new

...but what if I regret it? Is it even worth it? I guess I could always return it, but do I really want to have to come back here? On second thought, I'll just stick with my usual.

2. What do you mean they stopped making that product?

I've been using it for the last five years. It's the only one that works for my skin type. Of course, this happens to me. I guess now I have to try something new.

3. Okay, do I get the cheap version or the expensive one that Jaclyn Hill raved about in her last video?

Let's be real...can I even afford the expensive one? Can I even afford anything in this store? Chill, I have a plan. I'll just get this one expensive thing instead of two cheap things. Now that's what I call compromise.

4. Wait, what's my shade?

This one is too dark, I look like I got a spray tan gone wrong. This is too light, but duh, that's why bronzer exists. Do I have to buy bronzer now too?

5. Is this good for my skin type? Do I look weird? Can someone help me?

I need an employee to walk around with me and make a list of what I should get because this is too much for me.

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.
