The 9 Makeup Essentials You Need In Your Makeup Bag Right Now

Although I am by no means a "makeup junkie" or obsessed with makeup, lately I have been splurging (oops) and buying new makeup to try. Here are a few things I have tried, and loved, that I want to share with you all.

1. Glam Glow Youthmud 0.5 oz - Sephora $22.00

I have never really had a problem with acne but I do have really sensitive skin so I was a little nervous about trying skin products and this mask specifically. Turns out this mask is amazing! My skin felt so soft after I washed it off I honestly couldn't believe it.

2. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick - Sephora $21.00

Lipstick is not really my thing but I decided to finally give it a try, and I am so glad I did. I am in love with these Too Faced lipsticks. They have 13 different shades and they are long lasting. Once I apply it I have to use makeup remover at the end of the night to get it off, seriously so perfect.


3. Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation - Sephora $43.00

I use this foundation everyday. It makes my skin look so smooth and even. And if I have any blemishes it covers them so well!

4. Urban Decay Setting Spray - Ulta $31.00

I have never used a setting spray before, but after trying this product I can see it being a part of my daily routine. When I use this setting spray my makeup stays on all day and doesn't wear off after a few hours.

5. NARS Concealer - Sephora $29.00

With being an senior in college I have had quite a few nights of pulling all nighters to finish school work. This NARS concealer is the perfect product to cover the nags under my eyes. You can't even tell and it makes a smooth look for under the eyes.

6. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara - Sephora $23.00

This mascara is the God of all mascaras! It makes my eyelashes look so full and long! People ask me which false eyelashes I am wearing when I use this mascara.

7. Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow - Sephora $54.00

This palette has 3 different color variation options. I prefer more of a neutral look when applying makeup and this palette is perfect. It is long lasting and has amazing pigment.


8. Anastasia Glow Kit - Sephora $40.00

The only thing I can say about this glow kit is perfection. The pigment is amazing as well as the shades.

9. Anastasia Contour Kit - Sephora $40.00

This contour kit creates such a perfect highlight for your face. It makes your face look so smooth.

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.
