I love make-up, a lot. I constantly watch makeup reviews and tutorials on YouTube (Tati is my absolute favorite!) and my Pinterest is over run with make-up reviews and dupes. This is what I use everyday, and what I absolutely love and recommend. These are all drug store buys and are all 10 and under.

1. Primer : Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer Long Wear

This Primer is like the glue that keeps my make up on and in place all day, I love this product and use it everyday!

2. Foundation: Rimmel Match Perfection 24hr moisture in 100 Ivory.

I am pasty white, even when I tan I'm still Ivory, and this foundation is only one of the few foundations in my shade that gives me the moisture that my cheeks and chin desperately need and still lets my nose and forehead not look drenched in oil.

3. Concealer: Rimmel Match Perfection 1-2 concealer and highlighter in 230 fair/light

I love this, it gives me the coverage I need and it doesn't cake or sink into my fine lines.

4. Blush/Bronzer: ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder in the shade St. Lucia

I love this blush, its pigmented but not too pigmented and it gives a nice pinched cheek color to my cheeks without being too noticeable.

5. Contouring palette : Wet n Wild Megaglo Contoring Palette in Dulce De Leche

6. Eye primer: ELF sheer Eye primer

It makes sure my noticeable eye veins are not as noticeable and it makes my eye shadow go on smoother.

7. Eye shadow: Elf Mad for Matte Eyeshadow Palette($10) and Lovesick Noir Palette ($7.50 at Hot Topic)

I love Elf's matte eyeshadows, and the Noir palette has some beautiful sparkly shadows

8. Eyeliner: ELF Waterproof Eyeliner pen

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! it's so easy to line my eyes and even do a cat eye. I could not say enough good things about this product.

9. Mascara: Covergirl Clump Crusher

I love this, it gives super long lashes and doesn't clump.

10. Lipstick: Nude: L.A. Girl Matte Flat Velvet Lipstick in Snuggle

Pinks: Covergirl in Heavenly Paradasiaque

Covergirl Outlast in Magnetic Mauve

Reds: Elf Matte Lip Color in Rich Red

NYC in Retro Red

These lipsticks are hydrating and super smooth.

11. Lip balm: EOS Lip balm pods

These are so popular and they are popular for a reason. They are amazing and addicting.

12. Setting spray:Hard Candy Fast and Fabulous Makeup setting spray

This stuff is AMAZING, its an extra layer that makes my makeup stay on for as long as I need it.

All in all, all of these products combined will only cost you about $40 or $50 for everything, being obsessed with Makeup doesn't have to be expensive, but you need to be smart about what you purchase, If you love some of these products or want me to try some other products let me know!

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.
