6 Holy Grail Makeup Products You Need To Try
/Users/marianatrodella/Desktop/holograil_grande_jpg.jpg

I wear make up for me. Not to make myself pretty, not to get likes on instagram and NOT to impress any boys. Make up is an art and a science all in one and I may not be a pro beauty blogger, but I have been spending the last year studying make up. With practice, dedication and lots of money spent, I think that I have finally mastered what makeup products and styles work best for me. I have put together a make up kit of my "holy grail" products that I never leave the house without to give me that flawless full glam look, and compiled them into a nice little list with a mini review of each product!

1. Too Faced- Born This Way Foundation.

This foundation is amazing! I have been looking for a full coverage foundation for so long and I always come back to this! The formula is silky smooth with a matte finish that looks flawless on any skin type. It sells for 39 dollars, which in my opinion is a STEAL for high end foundation.

2. BEAUTY BLENDER, DUHH!

Okay, so I can't talk about my favorite foundation without talking about my beauty blender. This is my all time favorite way to apply foundation. I had a fake beauty blender from T.J Maxx and it was nothing compared to the real thing. It sells for 20 dollars and is so worth it. Adds a flawless finish to any foundation.

3. Too Faced- Better Than Sex Mascara.

This mascara has been my favorite for two years! The formula and brush combo is perfect and enhances all lashes so beautifully. This 23 dollar mascara is worth the hype and is great for people who want volume in their lashes but don't want to wear falsies every day.

4. Kat Von D- Shade + Light Contour Palette

Words can not describe my love for this palette. Not only is it cruelty-free, but the matte shades in here are flawless for any skin color. There is a great mix of cool and warm tones and the powders are pigmented and have a great formula. You can buy this product for 46 dollars and I guarantee it will be money well spent.

5. Kylie Cosmetics- Matte Liquid Lipsticks.

This 29 dollar liquid lipstick and lip liner duo changed my life. I have successfully purchased all but three of the Kylie Cosmetics products. I have tried and loved the glosses and metallic mattes but nothing compares to the flawless formula and finish of the matte liquid lipsticks. Dolce K is by far my all time favorite color.

6. Tarte- Rainforest After Dark Palette.

So guys, I bought this palette because I heard that a certain Kylie Jenner used the gold eyeshadow and I am OBSESSED. I incorporate the gold color into every eyeshadow look and all of the colors are so perfect and pigmented. For only 40 dollars you can't go wrong.

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.
