When summer rolls around each year it's only natural to want to freshen up your makeup game. So, you go into Sephora and quickly realize that you would need to sell your left kidney in order to buy a lip balm. But fear not, I am here to bring you six brands that your face and wallet will both approve off.

1. BH Cosmetics

https://www.bhcosmetics.com

I honestly can't get enough of this brand. They have everything you could want including foundations ($8.99), super cute brush sets (starting at $9.50), vibrant eye-shadow pallets (120 shades for $17.99), and more neutral pallets like the one picture above ($16). You can shop online and see all the wonderful goodies they have to offer.

2. L.A. Girl Cosmetics

https://www.lagirlusa.com/

This is the company that makes every YouTube beauty guru's favorite concealer, the L.A. Girl Pro Conceal ($5). They have awesome shade ranges in all of their face. eye, and lip products, and most things are until $10. Can I get an AMEN!!!

3. NYX Cosmetics

https://www.nyxcosmetics.com

This company has been rocking the beauty community for years! They bring you quality products at affordable prices...can it get much better than that! You can shop their products in most drugstores, and of course Walmart and Target, but you can also hop onto their website to find more options.

4. E.L.F. Cosmetics

https://www.elfcosmetics.com/

E.L.F. (standing for Eyes. Lips. Face) is another one of those companies that has been a staple in the makeup community for years. They never launch a product that doesn't create some serious buzz, and they were even voted #1 Primers in America. They have everything from face products, to brushes, to skin care (the illuminating eye cream is my personal fave). They are found in Walmart, Target, Ulta, and most drugstores. You also shop online by clicking the link above.

5. Wet N Wild Beauty

https://www.wetnwildbeauty.com/

Youthful. Vibrant. Trending. All three of these words describe this brand. Though my favorite product is their MegoGLO Highlighting Powders (get the palette with all 4 shades for only $10), this brand seriously has everything you could want and need with products starting at just $0.99. Y'all I'm serious, don't sleep on this brand.

6. ColourPop Cosmetics

https://colourpop.com/

Can't. Stop. Won't stop! This brand is hands down my favorite on this list! Known for their Super Shock Shadows which are only $5 (pictured above). This product alone comes in more shades than you can count. They are also known for their amazing lip products (starting at $5), and their cream blushes, highlighters, and bronzers (starting at $8). Seriously, anything you get from this company is AMAZING, and when you register for checkout you will receive a coupon code for $5 off your first order (which is basically a free lipstick). Although they are not in stores, to my knowledge, you can shop online with the link above.

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.
