9 Beauty Products That Are Under $9

I love a good Urban Decay eyeshadow palette as much as the next girl. But for an every day look, high-end makeup isn't really practical or necessary. Here are a few of my favorite drugstore beauty products that are both affordable and good-quality.

1. NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer - $6

Before finding this concealer, I swore by Too Faced concealer... but this NYX concealer is super comparable to a high-end concealer. It goes on super smooth, and builds easily. AND it's waterproof!

2. Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara - $7

This mascara gives your lashes a great mix of length and volume. The brush is super easy to use and lets you get every lash.

3. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - $5

This is my absolute favorite powder for oily skin. It doesn't go on cakey, and doesn't make me look orange.

4. NYX Dark Circle Concealer - $6

I've been using this under-eye concealer for 3 years, and can't say enough good things about it. It holds up to rain and sweat, and still looks good after a full day of work or class.

5. Physician's Formula Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner - $6

This palette is available for green, blue, and brown eyes, and comes with colors that complement each eye color. I have the green eye palette and love using the purple as an eyeliner, or using the beige and brown to do a light smokey eye. Overall, this is a super versatile palette that can be used every day or for special events.

6. Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm - $4

If you don't have it, you need it. This lip balm has been my go-to for years now. It smells amazing, it's smooth, and it's super moisturizing.

7. Elf Champagne Baked Eyeshadow - $3

A swipe of this over your lids, some mascara, and you're done! This eyeshadow gives a super put-together look without costing a lot of time or money.

8. NYX Slide on Pencil - $8

These liners are super smooth and pigmented, and the perfect cross between a pencil and a liquid liner. They're awesome for the eyelid or for waterlining!

9. NYC Color Wheel Blush - $5

This blush is super easy to build and to create different color mixes. You can use this product to create a super intense look, or just a light dust.


Happy shopping!

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.
