Besides being a saving grace from breakouts, burn, and blemishes, makeup is a great tool for people to express themselves. Unfortunately, sometimes makeup can get expensive. But fear not! These 5 makeup essentials will keep your collection well-rounded and in-budget.

1. A Full Coverage Concealer

This is a must! Concealers are most often used to cover up blemishes, redness, or under-eye darkness. If you are looking for an economically friendly concealer, NYX Cosmetics makes a great one! These run just under five dollars, and can be found at your local drugstore.





2. A Medium-Full Coverage Foundation

Not everyone likes the feel of, and I totally understand! However, if you’re having one of those days where you want to make your skin appear a little more even-toned or you want to have a solid base for your favorite blush or bronzer, then a good foundation is essential! L'Oreal Cosmetics makes a drugstore foundation that’s both lightweight and medium to full coverage. Blush applies right over it like a dream, and your wallet will thank you for choosing a product at its price point.




3. A Versatile Eyeshadow Palette

This is an important one, because people’s taste in makeup typically evolves over time. Finding an eyeshadow pallet that has a wide variety of colors will allow you to experiment with different looks without purchasing multiple products. Try to look for intensely pigmented formulas where a little will go a long way. One of my favorites is the Lorac Pro 3 Palette. It has 16 buttery, pigmented eyeshadows in a wide range of colors. It's a bit on the expensive side at $60, but it's sure to last you a really long time. It's always better to buy a quality product once versus a poor product multiple times!


4. A Go-To Mascara

For me, I don't like having heavy mascaras that clump on my eyelashes. I have found that some high-end products do this, so I decided to try a mascara by Elf Cosmetics. At only a few dollars, this product glides on the eyelashes perfectly without clumping. Having a good mascara will complete any eye look and have you looking fierce for your day!



5. An Everyday Neutral Liquid Lipstick

If there's one thing that you should always carry with you in your bag, it's this! Liquid lipsticks have quickly become a new trend because if the formula is done right, they dry down in just a few seconds, last most of the day, and are transfer-proof. For the everyday cover girl, all of these qualities are a must! Nobody wants to constantly re-apply a lipstick just to have it come off on your straw or napkin. Luckily, Milani Cosmetics makes AMAZING liquid lipsticks at just a few dollars a piece. You can find Milani at most drug stores. Having a go-to neutral color will enhance any makeup look and add a little pop to your smile.



So, you see? You don't need to break the bank to have stunning makeup looks. With these everyday essentials, you’ll be ready to create diverse and creative looks for every occasion!

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.

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.
