A Makeup Lover's Life Story

A Makeup Lover's Life Story
Amrezy

Blushes, bronzers, balms, oh my! The world of a makeup addict is a crazy, yet glorious one that some just can not resist. If we aren't baking in, then we are highlighting and contouring with shimmer, and if that isn't finished, there is just no way we will make it to eyeshadow without a good primer. For all my makeup lovers out there, there are so many relatable moments we experience on a day-to-day basis. However, if you are an outsider, I dare you to step in the glitz and glamour of our makeup-frenzied world and beware that we just might have to do your brows before you enter.

1. When you first enter any makeup store.

You just have to make an entrance. Let everyone know you have arrived and yes, you are going to be doing some damage.


2. When you drop your favorite palette and it shatters across the entire. bathroom. floor.

WHY? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS? For any girl, this is the exact definition of hell. Luckily, you can poor some rubbing alcohol and fix any broken compact makeup.


3. When you beat your face and look in the mirror.

Oh please, even your reflection is jealous of how good you look. Cherish those amazing makeup days. Own it, you look flawless.


4. When boys say they have to take girls "swimming on the first date."

If you want us looking like majestic mermaids in the water, then sure, we would love to go swimming! Don't worry, we will definitely be stocking up on waterproof mascara and Urban Decay's Makeup Setting Spray, since you love swimming so much.


5. When your ride says they are outside and you have to rush to do your makeup.

Honestly, do you think it takes five seconds to be this fabulous? You better wait.


6. Opening your front camera is so worth it.

You don't even need to worry about the deadly double chin angle. Every angle is just effortless perfection because you just look bomb.


7. Not wanting to wash your makeup off at the end of the day because it looks too pretty.

Maybe if I sleep with it on I will look just as amazing in my dreams.


8. Tears are no match for your makeup.

Makeup is expensive and therefore, in no way possible, should it be wasted. Your tears can wait for later, unless those tears are from being blinded by your new highlighter.


9.When you "hit pan" on your favorite eyeshadow.

You have got to be kidding me. That eyeshadow is your world, even the gods above can see how much it makes your eyes sparkle. GO RESTOCK NOW!

10. When people complain about how long it takes for you to finish your makeup.

THIS IS A PROCESS PEOPLE.


11. The notable lipstick check between you and your best friend.

Listen up ladies, this is a necessity! We all love a bright magenta lipstick in the spring, but on our lips, not teeth.


12. When you buy a nude lip gloss, knowing you already have similar ones at home.

The key word here is similar. The lip glosses at home are more nudish-pink, but the one just purchased is nudish-brown. In my defense, THEY ARE STILL DIFFERENT NUDES!


13. When your winged eyeliner is so sharp, it could cut a person.

I live for this moment. I don't think there is a greater feeling than having perfect winged eyeliner. Yes, it is essential. Yes, I will be furious if they are uneven. And finally yes, these wings help me fly away from my problems. Be free little-winged goddess.


14. When that new matte lipstick is just a little too matte.

Sometimes a new matte lipstick makes your lips feel as dry as the Grand Canyon. Chapstick works wonders.


15. When someone tells you they love Kim Kardashian's natural "no-makeup" look.

Ha! Me too! Maybe she should try it sometime.


16. Checking to make sure your contour makes your cheekbones look on point.

YAS GIRL, cheekbones for days! Make them glitter and glimmer until the entire world can no longer stand your Champagne Pop highlighter.


17. Realizing you have no more money because you spent it all on makeup.

Oh well. Being broke isn't that bad. Your dazzling highlight can conceal your pain.

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.
