11 Cosmetics Products Every Girl Needs From The Drug Store

It does the job for less.

Most, if not all of my makeup is from the drug store, and if I'm honest, the only high-end makeup I own was probably a gift. My makeup usage is typically light, which doesn't necessarily require me to invest in high-end products. Don't get me wrong; there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing something at Sephora instead of Target. However, that's not to say you won't find something just as great at your local drug store. Here are eleven cosmetics products I use, that I promise you, you'll love too.

1. Primer 

For the past several months I've been using, Maybelline's Master Prime: Blur and Smooth and can I just say, If you need something to blur and even skin-tone, this is the one.

2. Foundation 

I won't even lie, finding the right foundation at a drug store, is always hard. I've gone through several different brands and can finally say I found the one. Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid Foundation is incredibly light and great for a full-coverage.

3. Concealer 

Concealer saves me every time by hiding my restless baggy eyes. My current favorite pick up is L'Oreal's True Match, Super-Blendable Concealer.

4. Brow Pencil 

The BEST eyebrow pencil I've ever used has to be Elf's Ultra Precise Brow Pencil.

5. Blush 

My daily makeup routine always consist of blush, I've always felt like it gives your cheeks a natural pop. For as longest I can remember I've stayed loyal to Covergirl's Cheekers Blush.

6. Bronzer 

Bronzer is another item in my daily makeup routine. I love applying Covergirl's Cheekers Bronzer for a sun-kissed look.

7. Highlighter 

Highlighter has to be one of my favorite cosmetic products in general. However, I only apply highlighter for a night out/special occasions, but even if there are many options, I've currently keep choosing Milani's Stellar Lights Highlighter Palette.

8. Mascara 

Mascara = Maybelline. A minor bias opinion, but I truly think Maybelline has the best mascaras.

9. Lipstick

I own about a bag full of lipsticks, all from different brands, however, my current favorite lipstick is Rimmel's Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour, in the shade, Fire Starter (the best red lipstick I've ever owned).

10. Setting Spray 

Nyx Setting Spray is the best way to achieve a matte look.

11. Face Mask

The best way to end your day is to refresh your face with a new face mask, I've currently been using L'Oreal's Detox & Brighten Clay Mask, and highly recommend it!

I am definitely not a makeup expert, but I have personally used all these products and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for something new, or something within a budget.

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.

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.
