Best Makeup Dupes

We all know the feeling of wanting some new makeup, it's like when we walk past Sephora it is just calling your name. We also know the pain of finding a product in Sephora that you love and then looking a the price and want to start crying, because it's just not fair.

After spending too much money on makeup that I really can't afford, I thought to myself that there had to be some good dupe makeup brand out there. So I went to my computer and started looking up cheap makeup brands that had excellent reviews. The amount of dupe products that I found will actually blow your mind, you will never want to buy designer makeup again.

1. Primer

This product actually blew my mind, here I had been spending almost $40 for a Smashbox Primer! Once I did some research I found this amazing NYX Primer that did the exact same thing. You can get the NYX Primer for just $13 at any Ulta, Target or Walmart!

2. Lip Stick

Everyone is obsessed with the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits, but if you don't want to drop $30 on a lipstick then ColourPop is the place for you. If you love the shade Exposed then get the dupe from ColourPop in Echo Park. ColourPop lasts all day and the shades are to die for!

3. Foundation

I used to live by Make Up For Ever's Ultra HD Stick Foundation, I think it has some of the best coverage I have ever seen. Once I found this dupe my life was forever changed. The Stick Foundation and the Liquid Foundation are basically the same thing so once I found the Revlon Photo Ready Airbrush Foundation it was life changing. Instead of paying $43 for the Make Up For Ever Foundation you can pay $13!

4. Contour Kit


I am very guilty of buying the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, but who can blame me when it's just so beautiful! But $40 is a little too expensive for my preference, so when I found the NYX Contour Kit is just as good! It comes with so many different shades it's perfect for any skin tone!

5. Highlight

Personally, I believe that ColourPop has created the best dupes of all times when it comes to makeup. I have been dying to get the BECCA Highlighter in Opal forever, but I finally came across a ColourPop Highlighter in Wisp that's exactly the same! The BECCA Highlighter is 30 dollars more than the ColourPop one, which is only $8!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
