As we all know, many makeup brands choose to engage in animal testing. This practice is both cruel and unnecessary. Luckily, some makeup brands have chosen to remain cruelty-free and only engage in ethical practices. After researching several makeup brands, I've come up with a list of 10 completely cruelty-free brands. I was sure to include both higher-end makeup brands as well as brands that you can pick up at your local drug store.

1. Cargo Cosmetics

Cargo Cosmetics is cruelty-free and does not contract with third parties who participate in animal testing. This cosmetic line is full of bronze colors and pretty pastels that are perfect for creating a nice summery glow!

2. PÜR The Complexion Authority

Not only is PÜR cruelty-free, they also offer a variety of paraben-free, gluten-free, BPA-free, alcohol and talc-free, and vegan-friendly products. PÜR offers mineral-based makeup and skincare solutions.

3. 100% Pure

All cosmetics made by 100% Pure are made with natural ingredients and are only chemically altered through natural processes including fermentation, distillation, and cold processing. The cosmetics are colored with fruits, vegetables, teas, and other plant pigments. It doesn't get more natural than this!

4. Physician's Formula

Physician's Formula is cruelty-free and also offers some vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and organic products. This makeup line is my go-to because the products are high-quality and reasonably priced. You can also find Physician's Formula at your local drug store.

5. e.l.f

e.l.f cosmetics engage in cruelty-free practices. This is an inexpensive makeup brand that offers a wide array of products. e.l.f can also be found at your local drug store.

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.

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.

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.
