15 Things Only Makeup Addicts Understand

Makeup is a blessing and a curse. It can help cover any flaw while accentuating any feature, but it comes with a decent amount of baggage. When I first started wearing makeup at the ripe age of 14, I never realized how addicting it could be. Now, I'm a makeup addict and probably couldn't survive without my favorite products. But I know I'm not the only one. Here are 15 things that only makeup addicts truly understand:

1. Makeup can transform you from normal girl to boss queen.

There's just something so satisfying about rocking a good contour or bold lip color.

2. No matter what you're doing that day, you feel the need to wear makeup.

Whether you're going out with your friends, going on date night, or just going to the store you always find an excuse to wear makeup.

3. Sephora and Ulta are your fave shopping places.

You make an excuse to go inside anytime you're out shopping.

4. But you can find some great deals at other places too.


Why spend $20 on a beauty blender when you can get a makeup sponge at Walmart for less than $8?

5. Applying makeup isn't just a routine, it's an art form.

Your face is your canvas, and makeup is your supplies.

6. Your recent searches on YouTube are probably makeup tutorials.

I mean, who doesn't want to watch 5 videos on how to get the perfect smokey eye?

7. Your Pinterest feed is also filled with different makeup looks/tutorials/hacks.

Those hacks are honestly life savers.

8. Liquid eyeliner is either your best friend or mortal enemy

Trying to have your winged eyeliner even on both eyes is honestly more difficult than Calculus.

9. Your makeup collection is overflowing.

The struggle is real when your makeup doesn't fit in the same bag.

10. But you're always thinking how you need more.

While you try to convince yourself you need another pink liquid lipstick, just remember you already have 5 shades of pink.

11. You understand the importance of eyebrows.

They can make or break your face.

12. Mascara is your best friend until you get it on your eyelids.


You spent all that time blending your eyeshadow just to have little black dots on your crease.

13. This is your reaction when people say things like "You're naturally pretty" or "You don't need all that makeup."

They mean well, but makeup isn't just a tool to hide insecurities. It's a way of life.

14. When boys say "I like girls who are natural" and you know that most of the time those girls are also wearing makeup.

Sorry to break it to you, boys.

15. But then you remember you don't care what other people think.

It's your face, your rules. You wear makeup for yourself, not other people. Please continue to slay the game.

Makeup is a great way to express yourself, so there is nothing wrong with being entranced by beauty products. Keep doing you, boo.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
