Just a few of September's hits and misses. Some of these products worked or didn't work for me. Every product is different on different skin. I have combination skin; oily in the t-zone and dry skin. Just because I didn't love a certain product doesn't mean it doesn't work for you!

HITS

Marc Jacobs O!Mega Bronzer Perfect Tan

What can you not love about this beautiful bronzer. Has the perfect tone of brown because it's not too warm, ashy or orangey! This bronzer goes on super smooth on the skin and you can get a lot of product from just a simple swatch. The slim packaging is a major plus along with the great big mirror.

Benefit Galifornia Blush

It's impossible to get enough of this product! The color is a stunning coral sheen and it is not (I REPEAT) not an intense color. Galifornia blush has a great smell and a nice buildable formula. It also adds a touch of glow to the skin!

Natasha Denona Sunset Palette

One of my most expensive prized possessions ever ever ever ever. I love Natasha Denona forever and always. Her Sunset Palette comes with every beautiful warm tone shade that goes on perfect for every skin tone. The colors are super pigmented and there is a variety of shimmers and matte colors that blend out so easily. Natasha Denona never disappoints.

MISSES

Catrice liquid camouflage high coverage concealer

Not my favorite at all. This concealer has a dewy feel throughout the day and can cause your skin to get oily. I had to even put my go-to concealer (Tarte: Shape Tape Concealer) to cover up my dark circles because the Catrice concealer would just not say on. Also, this concealer is not waterproof and has an intense smell. Definitely not my favorite.

Buxom Full-On Lip Polish

Did not meet my expectations whatsoever. There was no tingly feeling, or plumpy lips. The color is also sheer so you must put a lipstick underneath the gloss.

Two Faced: Better Than Sex Mascara


What a shocking disappointment! Everyone raves about this mascara but I can't see why. The formula just causes my eyelashes to clump together and it did not volumize them either. Throughout the day there were a lot of flakes on my cheeks because the mascara would not hold up. I am still disappointed.

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.
