A Guide To Taking Over The World Via Lipstick

A wise person once said, "Give a woman the right lipstick, and she can conquer the world." They couldn't be more correct. Lipstick lovers can't go a day without being pretty and plump, and when we are, we feel like we can do anything. I counted recently, and I have over 30 tubes of lipstick. My sister counted, and she had over 50. It might sound crazy, but you don't call someone crazy that has a color for every outfit. Lipstick lovers have tubes in their bathroom, their purses, their wallets, their backpacks, sometimes even their cars (if you don't live in Texas, that is). We do not discriminate -- liquid, tube, matte, gloss, bold, bright, or neutral -- the list could go on. Lipstick lovers love it all, though we do have our personal favorites. Here is the best ranked lipstick for those of you interested in dabbling in the lipstick experience:

1. ColourPop: ColourPop liquid lipstick ranks number one easily. Not only does it last all day after one application (not even joking -- I could fall asleep with it on and sleep all night and I wake up with perfect lips), but it is also only $6.00. That's right people -- $6. They have a variety of colors to choose from, but my personal favorite is 'Trap.'

2. Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick: This tops the charts at spot #2, because the colors are extremely bold, and they don't flake. One application and you're good for the day. The only reason this ranks number two is due to the fact that it is $18.00. Get 'Posh Spice' while you can, because it is an overall favorite and always sold out.

3. MAC: This is your basic starter lipstick, but is a great quality. I personally love MAC because of the variety of colors and textures. The only down side is that you might have to apply a few times throughout your day. They range from $17.00-$20.00. Everyone loves the colors 'Velvet Teddy', 'Twig', and 'High Tea.' I love to mix and match 'Film Noir' and 'Honey Love.'

4. Anastasia Beverly Hills: This $20.00 lippie is a new favorite to most. This liquid lipstick comes in 21 shades, and dries very quickly without smudging. In order for it to stick, however, you must make sure your lips are exfoliated. Most really enjoy the color 'Lovely'.

5. Stila: This ranges from somewhere in the $20.00-25.00 range depending on what kind you get. The great thing about Stila is they have lip liners, liquid lipsticks, Plumping Primer, and a Lip Glaze. This brand of cosmetics gives you the full package. My favorite color is 'Caramello,/' and it will typically stay most of the day.

6. Kylie Cosmetics: The infamous Kylie lip kit is worth all the hype. These products are on the more expensive end, being $29.00, but the kit comes with a lip liner and liquid matte lipstick to match. Unfortunately, they are sold out a lot of the time, but a fan favorite is the lip kit titled 'Kristen'.

7. Kat Von D Beauty: This cosmetic brand has a variety of lippies, kits, and even lip/nail polish duos. I personally use Kat Von D's liquid lipstick and I am always satisfied. If you put it on incorrectly, it is hard to take off once it is on though. The prices range from $19.00-$35.00 depending on the buy. I really enjoy 'Lolita II.'

8. Fresh Sugar lip balm: Though this isn't exactly a lipstick to conquer the world in, it is a necessary find. This brand keeps their products natural and nourishing to your lips. The unique thing about the brand Fresh, is that they also have tinted lip treatments that even have SPF included in them. These products range from $24.00-$30.00.

9. Nyx Liquid Suede: This very inexpensive lipstick ($6.99) comes in so many vibrant colors. Unfortunately, this is what I call a "temp lip," because it only sticks to your lips temporarily. Luckily, the lipstick does stain your lips. So, even when it comes off, you still have a tint of what you were originally wearing. A bold fan fav is the color 'Run the World'.

10. Urban Decay: This was one of the first lipsticks I ever started wearing, and I have tried to stay loyal since. This brand is only $17.00 for some very thick textured colors. This brand also doesn't stay as long as I'd like it to, and it also tends to melt more easily than other lipsticks. My personal favorite (with more of a cream texture) is 'Shame.'

11. Lush Bubble gum Lip scrub: Like #8, you wouldn't expect to find this on the list, but it is completely necessary. Most of the lipsticks mentioned above suggest exfoliating your lips first, and for $9.95 you can exfoliate with bubblegum flavored scrub. A deal you can't pass up!

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. 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.

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.
