Every college girl knows how hard it is to shop, especially since anything cute costs an arm and a leg when you’re on a college student’s budget. But because of my super smart and amazing boyfriend (who is an Electrical and Computer Engineer, and no he won’t be reading this), he has taught me how to shop for things online without the hassle of department store capitalism. So here is my list of 5 MUST HAVES for girls who are on that college budget.

1. Oval Makeup Brushes.

I know, I got this set of 10 for $12 (free shipping) and they literally make my makeup look 100% better. So for this fad, I give a thumbs up and I love them more than anything.

2. Glitter Makeup.

I wasn’t into this fashion statement at first, but I found these eye-shadow palettes that are only about $7, and they can handle all day wear and tear with no worries. I love mine and plan on ordering more when I’m out.

3. Car Seats.

If you’re anything like me, my car gets nasty because I drive from college to work and everywhere (since I’m a commuter), so these car seats were a lifesaver and way cheaper than anywhere else I have personally looked. I suggest fining your model of car if you want to keep it nice too!

I wanted to share this because I plan on trying to save money, but also live healthier and a more wholesome life. Check back for more things I’ll be posting!
