How Much Is Your Makeup Bag Worth?
Cosmetics

Since I was fourteen years old, the main category that all of my money goes toward is makeup. Throughout the years, I've upgraded to some high-end products, but I also have drugstore favorites that I've been sticking to since the beginning. I tend to buy makeup in mini hauls, averaging at about $30-$50 per haul.

But, I've never stopped to think: how much is my entire makeup bag worth with all the products inside?

When I totaled every makeup product I own, I felt like breaking into tears. But, it's a great eye opener in how much money we've actually spent on every product our own. I encourage you to try this out, in an attempt to see how much you've spent, and how you can budget your money more wisely (without cutting out makeup completely!) But, so you don't feel bad, here's the total worth of my makeup bag.

1. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation: $7.99

2. Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation: $7.99

3. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: $6.99

4. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer: $8.99

5. e.l.f. High Definition Powder: $6.00

6. Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder: $8.99

7. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder: $7.99

9. Nyx Matte Liquid Liner: $6.99

10. Nyx Macaron Lippie: $5.99

11. Jordana Retractable Easyliner: $2.49

12. Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen: $22

13. Morphe 35O Eyeshadow Palette: $22.99

14. Nivea Men Post Shave Balm: $5.59

20. e.l.f. Matte Lip Color: $3

21. Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope Lipstick: $50

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.

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.
