Products that were just sort of disappointing.

Everyone likes to talk about their favorite products, but sometimes it is more helpful to hear about products that didn't work out. This can help you make a more informed and well-rounded decision about what you're buying.

DISCLAIMER: Just because these products didn't work for me, that doesn't mean they won't work for you. Makeup and beauty is a very personal game. Different products work for different people. Please don't be offended if some of these products are your holy grails.

1. Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation

I have given this foundation many chances, but I just didn't love it. It applied very nicely, but by the end of the day my face was extremely shiny and oily. I don't even have oily skin. No amount of powder could contain the oils in this foundation.

2. Too Faced Love Flush Blush

I don't know if this is possible, but these blushes are too pigmented for me. I like a very light blush to just bring some life to your face. These blushes are just way too intense for me. I even tried using a less dense brush and that didn't work.

3. L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara

This mascara is everyone's ride or die, but hear me out. When I first applied it, my lashes looked bomb. They were full and long and looked like I had falsies on. So what's the problem? This mascara is a bitch to remove. When I used a makeup remover wipe to take it off, some of my lashes came out because the product wouldn't budge. Not cool.

4. Benefit Boi-ing Industrial-Strength Concealer

This concealer just doesn't really do it for me. The lightest shade is still too dark for me, and it's extremely thick. I've tried to use it to cover blemishes, and it looked very cake-y. You can tell I'm wearing makeup when I use this product.

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit

Bet you thought I was going to say the Subculture Palette! This glow kit is so different from the others. The other glow kits are finely-milled and give the face a beautiful but natural glow. The Ultimate Glow Kit is chunky, glittery, and not nearly as pigmented. The shades are beautiful, but the glow just isn't there.

6. The Beauty Crop #GRLPWR Liquid Lipstick

I just received this product in a Boxycharm Box, but I already don't like it. It is probably the patchiest liquid lipstick I own. I had to go over my lips many times to get the color to be completely opaque, which then caused some product to build up on the inside of my mouth. It wasn't a cute look, trust me.

7. Winky Lux Uni-Brow Universal Brow Pencil

I've come to the conclusion that a universal brow shade just doesn't exist. This pencil is way too intense for my brows. I would use the lightest hand with it and still end up with very dark brows. If you have light eyebrows, stick to the Benefit brow products in shade 1.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
