Chloe's Beauty Favorites: December
Chloe McElmury

December was surprisingly a great month for discovering new makeup favorites! Along with some oldies, I loved my makeup looks all throughout last month. I wanted to share my top five favorites from the month to inspire you, or to help you find a new favorite yourself!

1. The BEST Liquid Lipstick


Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick - $24

These liquid lippies claim 8 hour wear.. and they get pretty darn close to that! I can wear these and eat a meal without being self conscious that my lip game has been compromised. They feel comfortable on the lips and won't crack. Just be sure your lips are in good condition before wearing!

2. My go-to fragrance

Sud Pacifique's Vanilla Abricot Perfume - $36 1 fl. oz.

This perfume is an oldie favorite of mine. While I prefer the rollerball application of it (way too strong with the spray on their bottle) this is my favorite scent.

3. The perfect all-over lid shade

Colourpop "Koosh" Eyeshadow - $5

Can we all just stop and take a moment to gawk at this shadow? And also please ignore how rough of shape my pan of it is in... this eyeshadow has been well used in the short time I've had this. Koosh is perfect for application all over the lid with a matte swipe of color in the crease. One of the easiest looks to do on the eyes! I'm ordering two more to stockpile because I am so obsessed with this shade!


4. Lash primer for long lashes

Smashbox Photo Finish Lash Primer - $23

What the heck is lash primer? Do you even need it? Both of those questions remain unanswered by me, but I love adding this primer to my lash routine. I do this before applying mascara, while I'm finishing up my contour and highlight. This helps to separate and extend my lashes, preparing them for my mascara to go smoothly on top. It goes on white, but give it a little time to dry before applying and you shouldn't notice it through your mascara.

5. The only bronzer for contour you need

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer - $29

This is without a doubt, hands down, the best and only bronzer you need to contour with. It's not too warm, while also matte, meaning your contour will look natural! However, you can make your contour look as sharp as you want by layering this product up. This is the easiest product to contour your nose and cheekbones with! I swear by this.

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?

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.
