5 Makeup Pieces I Would Take If I Was Stranded on a Desert Island

Think about this: you're stranded on a desert island and you already have the essentials: water, food, shelter, clothes, and company. But, you have enough time to grab five pieces of makeup before the boat sinks... What do you grab? These are the ride or die makeup pieces, the stuff that you would trust your life with. For me there are five makeup pieces that I could be content using for the rest of my life, and that really says something because I own a lot of makeup.

1) First and foremost, I would have to bring with me my all time favorite concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (I'm in the shade Custard Medium 1). This concealer has the most amazing coverage without creasing or appearing cake-y. This stuff is truly magic, and if you don't own some already, get to your nearest Sephora ASAP. Plus, on a desert island you'd obviously need something to keep your skin looking flawless.



2) To stay looking like a glowing goddess, I would definitely need to take my favorite highlighter. So, I would take my Benefit Watt's Up highlighter with me. If you have dry skin and hate using powder highlighters because they accentuate the dryness, try this highlight. It is a cream highlight in a stick form, but it is not greasy, and feels like nothing is on your skin. And, obviously the most important part: this highlight captures the light to make your cheekbones, nose, and Cupid's bow look like they were kissed by golden angels.



3) Now for the eyes, I would take a mascara that is easy to remove, because I am stranded on an island. Also, I would want a mascara that doesn't flake, and one that makes my lashes look like falsies. For mascara, Too Faced Better Than Sex takes the win, because this mascara is my holy grail.



4) To go with the mascara I would need something to make my eyelids glimmer and shine. So, I would take a versatile palette that has enough shadows to create several looks. So, I would take the Tartelette In Bloom Palette, one of the best palettes that I have ever come across. As usual, on this palette Tarte killed it with the pigment, and the shades. Thank You for making my life better Tarte.


5) Lastly, I would take a powder to go over my concealer, because sometimes we all get a little shiny. This powder is the best I have ever used, and leaves behind zero shine, it is the queen of all translucent powders: Makeup Forever High Definition Powder.

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.

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.
