Yeah, I know this lipstick is really similar to that one, but it's not the same, I promise.

Ever since I could remember, I have loved makeup. I used to go to Macy's when I was a kid and ask my mom to put eyeshadow and lipgloss on me whenever we would pass by the makeup counters. In middle school, I was finally allowed to wear eyeliner, and in high school....YouTube happened and my makeup addiction just skyrocketed from there. As the years have gone by, and as the obsession has grown, here are certain things I have noticed that come with being obsessed with makeup.

1. Whenever you go into any makeup store or counter, it is guaranteed that you will have swatches on the back of your hands.

If you didn't swatch something on the back of your hand, did you really go to Sephora?

2. Your makeup collection confuses some people, but it makes perfect sense to you.

3. When watching a TV show or a movie, you always look at how the makeup is done or try to guess what they're wearing.

For this gif: YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 1 or 203?

4. Online shopping can get out of hand.

5. You have probably made a YouTube account just so you can subscribe to the (many) beauty gurus.

6. When a product doesn't work for you but everyone loves it.

7. After everything said and done, people may say your makeup addiction is out of hand, but who cares what they say? Makeup is amazing.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
