6 Beauty Products For Your Summer Self

As the summer approaches and the temperature rises, it's time to do away with the dark eye makeup and deep red lipstick. Now it's time to bring out those natural nudes and light pinks. So here's a guide to six products that will help you achieve your glowing summer look.

1. Estee Edit by Estee in Pearlize Purple or Royal Blue.


These colored eyeliners will brighten up your eyes and make them pop. The "edge" to them allows you to smudge them and make it a little less bold and dramatic. Remember not to go overboard, use it in small amounts and add more accordingly.

2. The Ilia Illuminator


This highlighter is great for accentuating your cheek bones and other facial structures in a way that brightens up your face. It adds a shimmering smear that catches the light and reflects it to illuminate your face and give it that special summer sun-kissed glow.

3. Zac Posen Lipstick for MAC.


This nude pink will show up light and natural, but still add a touch of color. It will also moisturize your lips to get away from those dreary dried out lips. Reapply often and maybe even add a touch of pink liner to the edges to clean it up and add a more dramatic look for an evening out.

4. Buxom's Wildly Whipped lightweight liquid lipstick in Mauve.


Liquid matte lipstick is all the rage right now preceding Kylie Jenner's sold out lip lit. However, this liquid lipstick is super lightweight and the last thing you want on a hot summer day is to feel like your makeup is heavily caked on. Also, Buxom is known for having a plumper in their lip glosses, so why not add a boost to your lips. The Mauve color is light but bright enough to stand out. Definitely not as natural as Zac Posen's, so maybe more a summer night out shade.

5. NARS Laguna Tiare Bronzer.



Let's face it, with work getting in the way, we don't all have time to sit around at the beach all day to achieve that tan summer look. So why not cheat a little and add some bronzer to your highlighter? Not too much, we're not trying to look straight off of Jersey Shore. Just add a little to contour your cheek bones and maybe a little on your jaw or nose.

6. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara


Like its bold title, this mascara will give you bold and voluminous lashes, while still looking natural. Add a light color of eyeshadow and then a little bit of Estee's edge liner. Smudge the liner and the shadow, and finish it off with a little mascara. For a day to night look, keep the mascara in your bag and add another coat of mascara before going out. You can re-apply a little bit of everything to make complete your bold yet natural look.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
