The One Beauty Product I Refuse to Live without

There are billions upon billions of makeup products that exist and I can live without all of them except one.

Some of you are going to read this article and you're going to think "Damn, she's crazy," and some of you are going to read this and think "Oh my god, she gets it!" Don't get me wrong, I love makeup. I love doing my eyebrows, I love doing some sharp wings here and there, I love bright red lipstick, and I love doing some nice wispy lashes. I love it all. I waste so much of my money on makeup and to be honest, I couldn't care less! Okay, yes I care that I'm broke because of my makeup addiction but also like, come on! MAKEUP!

Everyone has that one product they can't live without or even that one product that they can't leave the house without. For some of you, it's mascara. For others, it's your eyebrows. It could also be blush, or highlighter, or bronzer, or even eyeliner. Everyone has their little something-something and trust me, I am all for it.

For me though, it's none of those things. So now you're probably stumped. You're probably thinking, "Oh my god, she's one of those girls who refuse to leave the house without foundation." If you thought that, then let me just tell you absolutely not! I am the world's laziest person and sometimes can't even be bothered to brush my hair so if you think I'm going to put on foundation every single day then try again!

I'm sure I've kept you waiting long enough... the one product I can't leave my house without is... chapstick!

Some of you probably don't consider chapstick as makeup but I definitely do. It moisturizes your lips and it can even be tinted if you wanted it to be. And if you don't want it tinted, it's simply just a little gloss and shine for you.

If I had to be honest, I probably own about 5 different chapsticks right now. I have my car chapstick, my purse chapstick, my bedroom chapstick, my backpack chapstick, my work chapstick (in my apron), and a bathroom chapstick. That probably seems so obsessive to you but for me, it's not enough.

Make fun of me all you want, but at least I'll never have chapped lips.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
