Chloe's Beauty Favorites: December
Chloe McElmury

December was surprisingly a great month for discovering new makeup favorites! Along with some oldies, I loved my makeup looks all throughout last month. I wanted to share my top five favorites from the month to inspire you, or to help you find a new favorite yourself!

1. The BEST Liquid Lipstick


Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick - $24

These liquid lippies claim 8 hour wear.. and they get pretty darn close to that! I can wear these and eat a meal without being self conscious that my lip game has been compromised. They feel comfortable on the lips and won't crack. Just be sure your lips are in good condition before wearing!

2. My go-to fragrance

Sud Pacifique's Vanilla Abricot Perfume - $36 1 fl. oz.

This perfume is an oldie favorite of mine. While I prefer the rollerball application of it (way too strong with the spray on their bottle) this is my favorite scent.

3. The perfect all-over lid shade

Colourpop "Koosh" Eyeshadow - $5

Can we all just stop and take a moment to gawk at this shadow? And also please ignore how rough of shape my pan of it is in... this eyeshadow has been well used in the short time I've had this. Koosh is perfect for application all over the lid with a matte swipe of color in the crease. One of the easiest looks to do on the eyes! I'm ordering two more to stockpile because I am so obsessed with this shade!


4. Lash primer for long lashes

Smashbox Photo Finish Lash Primer - $23

What the heck is lash primer? Do you even need it? Both of those questions remain unanswered by me, but I love adding this primer to my lash routine. I do this before applying mascara, while I'm finishing up my contour and highlight. This helps to separate and extend my lashes, preparing them for my mascara to go smoothly on top. It goes on white, but give it a little time to dry before applying and you shouldn't notice it through your mascara.

5. The only bronzer for contour you need

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer - $29

This is without a doubt, hands down, the best and only bronzer you need to contour with. It's not too warm, while also matte, meaning your contour will look natural! However, you can make your contour look as sharp as you want by layering this product up. This is the easiest product to contour your nose and cheekbones with! I swear by this.

Did you have any December beauty or makeup favorites?

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.
