Beauty does not have to drain your bank account, tbh.

11 Makeup Products That Won't Break The Bank

For those college students (like myself) or anyone who is on a budget, finding affordable quality makeup can be a challenge. Throughout the past year I have found these 11 makeup products that fit this challenge; not only are they affordable but they are also great quality!

1. Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter in the color Peach Lights

This awesome highlighter is super affordable. At $6.00 you cannot go wrong! Although this highlighter is less pigmented compared to other high-end highlighters, it lasts all day. Also, the fact that it is not as pigmented is kind of a blessing (at least to me) because it gives off a more natural look.

2. Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick by Nyx Cosmetics in the color Soft Spoken

This cream lipstick is amazing because it lasts for hours. I like using this lipstick before I go out because I do not have to worry about reapplying it throughout the night. This color is also a dupe for Kat Von D's famous liquid lipstick in the color, Lolita.

3. Ultra 32 Eyeshadow Palette by Makeup Revolution

Whether you are going on a vacation or going to college, this is a great palette to have. This versatile palette allows me to create natural looks along with dramatic smokey eyes. I guess you could call it an all in one!

4. The Falsies Push Up Angel Waterproof Mascara by Maybelline


Like the liquid lipsticks, I love this waterproof mascara because it stays on all night! Sometimes I find that with non-waterproof mascara it sweats off throughout the night and then I have every girl's worst nightmare, raccoon eyes! I have yet to have that problem with this mascara!

5. Baked Blusher by Makeup Revolution in the color Make Love Instead


This blush is EVERYTHING. It is pigmented, yet it can also be built up for a more dramatic effect. The soft shimmers create a natural glow while the color gives off a natural rosy pink color.

6. Wonder Stick by NYX Cosmetics

This stick is wonderful! Contouring was always a challenge to me but this makeup product has helped me a lot. The product is very easy to blend and is also very buildable.

7. Stay Matte Pressed Powder by Rimmel London


I have officially replaced my MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural with this pressed powder. I love to set my foundation with this product. This powder is extremely soft and lasts all day. I have normal to dry skin, but it definitely keeps my face looking matte for hours.

8. Sun Glow Matt Bronzing Powder by Catrice


This bronzer gives you the perfect glow! It is very easy to build the color yet it is also very pigmented.

9. Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray by NYX Cosmetics

I started using this setting spray as an alternative to Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray. These products work just as good as each other and I cannot tell the difference between the two. Plus, NYX's setting spray is half the price!

10. Carli Bybel 14 Color Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette by BH Cosemtics

I love this palette, especially for fall. Not only does it feature 10 pigmented shadows, but it also includes four highlighters! This is the perfect palette to travel with and is a great gift idea.

11. Great Lash Mascara by Maybelline


I have been using this products for years to tame my eyebrows. This affordable clear mascara makes for a great brow gel!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
