When it comes to makeup, I've tried it all (from drugstore brands to fancy custom formulas that cost an arm and a leg). Though high-end makeup gurus might claim that their products are better quality, the cosmetics industry has truly stepped up their game with their drugstore brands - giving larger brands a run for their money! Here are some of my personal favorites I find myself always reaching for, 100% guaranteed to give you high-end results, but at a fraction of the cost.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, $3.29

One of my friends recommended the NYX soft matte lip cream collection to me and I can't get enough of them! The formula is lightweight and creamy, yet very durable and food-proof. The range comes in every shade you could possibly imagine, and they even smell sweet too!

L'Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise, $7.99

For dramatic lashes that won't break the bank! This is the perfect dupe for Benefit's Better Than Sex mascara (they even nailed the packaging too!)

Milani Baked Blush, $6.99

Richly pigmented and highly buildable, this blush adds the perfect amount of sheen for that soft and healthy glow. My favorite shade is Luminosco (I reach for it before my NARS!)

Mario Badescu Rose Face Mist, $7

So you didn't go to Greece this summer, but that doesn't mean you can't fake it! Enriched with nourishing vitamins and antioxidants, this refreshing mist does everything from setting your makeup in the morning to toning your skin at night. Spritz this onto your makeup brush before you apply highlighter to achieve a Hollywood finish glow.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, $6.49

A concealer that will help cancel unwanted imperfections, without looking cakey or dry. From hiding dark circles to pesky little blemishes, Maybelline Fit Me has got you covered.

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.
