It can get so hard to keep up with makeup in college because makeup can get expensive. So, why not shop great products that fit your budget? These are just a few products that work just as well as high-end brands but are cheaper — perfect for the broke college girl's budget.

NYX Professional Makeup: HD Finishing Powder

Hands down best drugstore translucent/ finishing powder in the history of drugstore powders. You can touch up your makeup throughout the day with this powder and it won’t leave you looking cakey at all. Also, it’s only $9.99 can’t beat that price at all and works just as great as a “prestige” brand.

Rimmel London: ScandalEyes Mascara

If you’re looking for a volumizing, super black, non-clumpy mascara, ScandalEyes Mascara is your way to go. Nothing is better than a cheap mascara gets the job done. It last all day with no flakes! Also, I’ve never seen a mascara as black as this one. It goes on so smooth and black which makes your eyelashes really pop for the whole day.

Physicians Formula: Butter Bronzer Murumuru Butter Bronzer

If you love the smell of coconuts and a really pigmented bronzer Physicians formula will hook you up. I can use this bronzer in the summer and winter because it’s the perfect shade of bronzer with any skin tone. Although it’s a little on the pricey side for a drugstore product, it’s still 100% worth it.

Soap & Glory: One Heck of A Blot Perfect Power Primer

What a primer let me tell ya. I will never stop using this primer, ever. If I want a matte look and a pore tightener, this is my holy grail. This primer never disappoints. It truly does help reduce the look of pores and it keeps them tighten throughout the day. My makeup looks so smooth whenever I use this primer. This primer will always be on my college budget list.

NYX Professional Makeup: Epic Ink Liner

This is one amazing eyeliner. If you still struggle creating a wing or even just want a thin line, this eyeliner is perfect. It dries matte black and super black let me tell ya. Also, it’s super easy to use! You can get a nice grip on the eyeliner and take control of any eyeliner look you are going for.

Maybelline: Fit Me Concealer

Love Love Love this concealer. It honestly is great and I don’t think I have anything bad to say at all about it. It works just as great as my go-to Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. It doesn’t come off throughout the day and it makes a perfect match with the NYX Professional Makeup: HD Finishing Powder.

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.
