6 Drugstore Makeup Products Everyone Needs

Being a makeup addict can become a bit pricey but, if you really look into makeup reviews, you may find that some "drugstore" products are preferred over "high end" products. I have quite a large makeup collection, it's actually really hard to decide what I want to bring with me to college. Over the years I have tried multiple high end and multiple drugstore products. I have put together a list of inexpensive yet high quality products everyone should try!

1. Morphe Palettes.

You may have seen this beautifully stunning palette before. This is the famous 35O from Morphe. I have this palette and it is absolutely stunning, the pigmentation is insane. The palette is only $22.99 it's incrediably affordable and any makeup lover should own a Morphe palette.

2. Wet N Wild Brushes.

Wet N Wild brushes live up to their hype. They are so cheap, at first I was hesitant to purchase one because I didn't know how well the quality would be for such a low price. They lived up to my expectations and I love them just as much as I love my high end brushes.


3. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation.

I have oily skin, like really oily, as if there was an oil spill on my face. The Maybelline Fit me! Matte + Poreless foundation is my holy grail. I also have the dewy smooth one which, doesn't make sense for me to have because of how oily I am but, they're both AMAZING. They last for hours, they're very light on the skin, and they don't appear cakey. I pick this foundation up way more than my Tarte foundations.


4. Maybelline Face Studio Master Fix Setting Loose Powder.

Clearly I favor Maybelline products, Maybelline is hands down my favorite drugstore makeup brand EVER. Before I had any high end products, all I bought was Maybelline. This loose powder is another product I pick over a Tarte product.


5. Nyx Matte Setting Spray.

Let's be honest, the Urban Decay setting spray is AMAZING but so pricey. Nyx has a matte finish setting spray OR a dewy finish setting spray. Way more affordable than Urban Decay.


6. Colourpop Matte Lipsticks.

Colourpop Matte Lipsticks live up to their hype. I believe they are made in the same exact factory as Kylie Jenner's lipsticks. A lot of youtube beauty guru's said the formulas are almost identical, even the packaging is identical. Colourpop lipsticks are only $6, making them way cheaper than Kylie's lipsticks. You also have a larger range of color selections with Colourpop as well. You'll be able to find some dupes of Kylie's on their websites! 10/10 recommend. I love their satin ones too!

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.
