A College Girls Guide To Makeup

As a human that loves makeup, I would love to go to Sephora for all of my makeup needs. However, as a college student on a budget I normally end up with drugstore brands. And while there is a huge difference between Maybelline and Too Faced, I've managed to find some great products that are sold at Wal-Mart that work just as well.

1. CoverGirl's 'Ready Set Gorgeous'

This is my absolute favorite thing, maybe ever. It boasts being oil free and safe for sensitive skin, which is important for me because I have pretty sensitive skin. And let me tell you this stuff is magic. I've been using all three of these products, concealer, foundation and powder for almost two years now and they're so good. It's fresh, oil free and has great all day coverage.

2. Lancome Blush Subtil, Summer Mocha Havana

To be completely honest I got this wonderful blush as a sample and I completely fell in love with it. It is the perfect shade and it's a really great blush.

Maybelline 'Master Contour V', 0153


I don't contour a ton but this little stick is the most convenient thing. It has a darker shade on one side and a highlighter on the other side making it easy to use and easy to blend.

Maybelline 'tru blend minerals' Blush

This loose powder is awesome to just brighten up the face. I always use it after I've done my base makeup. I especially like the blush color because it pales up the foundation and balances out the tone.

Maybelline's Nudes Collection, The Nudes, The Rock Nudes and The Blushed Nudes.


I really, really love these three palettes. They work well together and they have every nude and neutral color imaginable which makes for great options and each palette can be intertwined.

Revlon ColorStay Skinny Eye Liner, very black

I have small eyes so I like to have small eyeliner lines. This stuff is by far the best liquid eyeliner I have ever used, and it's always the last thing on my face when I take my makeup off every night. It's incredibly durable and doesn't run.

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion, very black


This mascara is absolutely wonderful. I have (weirdly) long eyelashes, so sometimes it's hard for me to get them looking full without looking stringy. This mascara though works well and provides great volume!

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Color,

This color comes in a gloss form but when it dries, it dries matte which is so cool. I have this is almost all the colors it comes in because it's long use and long wear and it comes in a ton of cool shades.

NYC Smooch Proof LipStain


I wore this product for years when I was dancing, for performances because it does not come off. Ever. You can drink water and eat and it just stays right there. Which is probably why they call it smooch proof.

Bath and Body Works, Forever Red

I was told once people who smell good are more confident. This scent is by far my favorite and I wear it almost every day. It's how I top off my look and I love it quite a bit.

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.
