Dear Tarte: Bring Back Shape Tape Concealers In Fair
Bustle

Ever since Tarte Cosmetics released their Shape Tape Concealers, I knew I had to get my hands on one. For those of you who know your way around the makeup blogger world, you know how much everyone on YouTube raved about them. For a while, it was on everyone’s “favorites of the month” videos! Despite the steep price for, frankly, such a small tube of makeup, I am willing to pay anything if that tube is filled with the magical powers everyone makes it out to have. The only problem, is that my mayonnaise-like complexion only matches the lightest shade, which is never, ever in stock.

Maybe I’m just not fast enough to compete with all the other makeup-lovers out there, because every ULTA lady I have ever spoken to always tells me, “Sorry, sweetie but those fly out the stores every time we get them in.” This is bad news for me and my whiter-than-whipped-cream skin tone.

So, for what feels like an eternity, I have searched and searched for the palest Shape Tape Concealer. Since my face resembles that of a crisp sheet of computer paper from Office Depot, I really cannot afford to settle for a darker shade.

To voice my frustration, not against the brand but mostly against my bad luck, I have a quick song to sing. Maybe if Tarte sees my passion and desperation they will hook me up with this beautiful product? Probably not, but here goes nothing. So, Tarte, please take mercy on this pale and awkward little college girl who, despite her stage fright and introverted tendencies, has made this song for you; and restock your lightest shade! To everyone else: Feel free to mock my quirkiness but when this video makes it onto the Ellen Degeneres show and she hooks me up with a lifetime supply of Shape Tape Concealers in “fair,” then this will all be worth it!

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.

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.

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.
