CoverGirl Has First Ever CoverBoy, James Charles

Eonline

On October 11, 2016 COVERGIRL announced their first ever COVERBOY, James Charles. He is a 17 year old self-taught makeup artist from New York. He has his own YouTube Channel that started in December 1, 2015, which in his biography he states that, "I love doing glam looks but I also have a huge passion for artsy, avant garde, abstract looks. Makeup is one of my biggest passions and I hope you choose to join me on my journey!"

While this is a controversial topic because he is obviously not a female, I think COVERGIRL should at least call him a COVERBOY and not a COVERGIRL. However, I absolutely love the support that males are getting in the beauty industry lately. A few years ago, males were looked down on for wearing makeup. COVERGIRL released James Charles as their newest spokes model via Instagram. He received positive and negative feedback. For the negative feedback COVERGIRL commented back via Instagram stating, "We support anyone and everyone who wants to express themselves with makeup. COVERGIRL believes in beauty for all, and we're proud to welcome James Charles to the family. We do not tolerate bullying on our Instagram." With COVERGIRL's comment, I think that the people going against James should take that and run with it. Makeup wipes off at the end of the day. Why does it matter if males wear makeup or are now campaigning for COVERGIRL?

James Charles is campaigning for COVERGIRL's newest mascara "So Lashy". If you visit the Official COVERGIRL website they state that this product is, "Bold sexy lashes for all lash types! Get the bold, dark, voluminous lashes you’ve dreamed of with COVERGIRL So Lashy! BlastPRO Mascara. Our 3-in-1 brush shapes, molds and builds lashes regardless of your lash type, while the specialized ball tip gets the corners and hard to reach lashes. It's the perfect mascara for any occasion. Also available in waterproof." This product is available in five shades and costs $10.49.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
