If you're anything like me, you love makeup. You also can't afford to cash out on certain products from time to time. So I've compiled a list of a few of my favorite makeup dupes for people like us who still want that glo without the price.

1. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($29)

Dupe: Maybelline Fit Me Concealer ($6.49)

I swore by the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for the longest time, until my friend suggested I try Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer. I was hesitant at first because I hadn't bought drugstore makeup since I was a freshman in high school. I had grown accustomed to buying the Radiant Creamy Concealer with the Sheer Glow Foundation and together they cost a total of $74. So I figured $7 is nothing compared to that, why not give it a chance? I wasn't really expecting much out of this product, but now I actually prefer using Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer over NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer daily. The NARS concealer is thicker and provides more coverage, but the Maybelline formula is creamier and blends more easily. I would also run out of the NARS concealer super quick compared to Maybelline's concealer (probably due to Maybelline's concealer being "wetter"). The huge price difference is an added bonus and the packaging for both concealers is very similar, as well.

2. Kylie Lip Kit in Dolce K ($29)

Dupe: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes ($6)

Why buy overpriced lipsticks and lipliners from someone who didn't even have lips until a year ago? You can find better quality lipsticks from credible makeup gurus for a more affordable price. But, if you want the cheapest and best dupe for Dolce K, definitely try the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes. You can also try ColourPop's Limbo as a dupe for True Brown K and these as dupes for Candy K.

3. NARS Blush in Orgasm ($23)

Dupe: Sleek Blush in Rose Gold ($6.99)

The NARS Orgasm blush is a cult classic. But $23 might be a little too much considering the vast majority of dupes available for it. Sleek Blush in Rose Gold comes close to Orgasm's color with a slightly more gold shimmer and less than half of the price.

4. MAC Nylon Eyeshadow ($16)

Dupe: NYX Barely There Eyeshadow ($4)

Perfect to use as a highlighter too!

5. Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette ($50)

Dupe: CoverGirl Roses TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette ($9.49)

This is a spot-on dupe. The only difference between the two palettes is that you get 12 colors to choose from in the Naked 3 palette compared to eight in the CoverGirl palette.

Get your coins worth.

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.
