Sephora is every girl's dream; wall to wall lined with blush, eyeshadow palettes, and lipsticks. But, once you fill your bag and reach the register, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare, and your total owed is responsible for the sudden change in dream dynamic. While we love brands like MAC or Urban Decay, no college girls bank account can deal with the hit it would take if we used only these name brands. Drugstore brands are the solution. Here are my favorite drugstore beauty products that I've tried.

1. Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Eyeshadow Palette, $7

This twelve shade palette has both mattes and glittery eye shadows, that range from nudes, to pinks, to deeper grey/purple shades.

2. Real Technique blending sponge, $7

Perfect alternative to the beauty blender, for $13 cheaper.

3. Maybelline Volum' Express The Colossal Mascara, $5



Gives you natural-looking lashes, but with great volume, and you can't beat the price point.

4. Maybelline Master Precise Jet Black Eyeliner, $7

Another Maybelline product. For those of you who are challenged at using liquid liner, this is an easy liner to handle.

5. True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminator, $13

Okay I lied, this one's not under $10. But it is still relatively cheap,and this product is long-lasting and worth the extra three dollars. Really lightweight highlighting and contouring powder that illuminates the skin.

6. Neutrogena Makeup Wipes, $8

Effectively removes makeup and leaves your skin feeling refreshed.

7. Ready, Set, Gorgeous Covergirl Concealer, $8

For a girl with eternal dark circles under my eyes, this product is God sent.

8. NYX Bright Idea Illuminating Stick, $8

I have the "Maui" stick, which is great for contouring and blends so easily into the skin.

9. Skintimates Shaving Cream, $3

BEST SHAVING CREAM EVER.

10. Covergirl Lashblast Volume Mascara, $7

Another mascara that gives great volume. Bonus: It's waterproof.

11. Garnier Fructis Sleek& Shine Serum, $5

Smooths out frizzy hair super easily.

12. NYX Lipsticks, $6-7

I've loved every lip color I've bought from NYX, so I couldn't pick just one. The Lingerie Lip Line is a great collection of nudes, but I love the "Embellishment" because it has a cool purple undertone and lasts FOREVER. The Liquid Suede line is easy to apply and has a softer feel to it.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
