My 5 Piece Makeup Routine For The Busiest Girls
Personal

Almay ConcealerCollege is hard. We stay up too late, don't exercise or sleep enough and if you're like me, do everything last minute. I am one of the lucky ones that don't have an 8 am, therefore, I sleep as late as possible.

Personally, I feel more confident with just a little something on my face and stumbled across these products during high school that made senior year extremely easy to get ready for and I have carried over this routine to College where it has worked wonders for me.

I love these products and I hope you are able to give them a try and get just as much out of them like me!

1. Olay

Moisturizer is important no matter the time of the year but with winter approaching quickly, this is my favorite light weight moisturizer. It smells great, is very inexpensive and lasts a long time.

This product combines the protection against the cold and possible dryness your skin may experience as well as the uv rays that are always present. This is the first step in my routine and I apply about a half dime size to my face as well as my neck.

2. Concealer

We all know that with the stress of all of our activities and assignments we may break out here and there. We also are guilty of not getting enough sleep on most occasions leading to dark under eyes. My solution to both of these is this Almay Concealer that had Salic acid to fight acne as well as light to medium coverage for those bags. I use the shade 100 Light, this product too is also college budget frinedly. This is my second step and I apply this to my under eyes and any problem areas with a damp beauty blender.

3. Compact Powder

To also combat my dark under eyes I use a white compact powder with either my ring finger or a small fluffy brush and dust a small amount on. This helps me to look more awake after a long night or early morning of studying. This powder helps to keep my concealer from creasing as well. This product is super affordable and lasts forever. I use it after my concealer.

4. Bronzer

To give my face some color especially in the winter and when I'm sick, when am I not though, I use this bronzer. I apply this with a thick big brush to my cheeks in a contour shape as well as my forehead. This simply helps to add some color to my face after getting rid of the only color I did have, even though it was purple. I have the mini version which wasn't too pricey and I love it! I will be rebuying it once it runs out, which won't be anytime soon. I do this after my compact powder.

5. Mascara

I used this Clinique mascaras to finish off my natural look with some wispy lashes. I prefer this mascara because it doesn't clump and it lengthens my lashes and helps to lift them. This mascara isn't too pricey for what you get. I sometimes use an eyelash curler with this to help exaggerate my lashes. This is my final step.

In all, my routine takes about 10 minutes or less and leaves my feeling confident, bright eyes and moisturized! These products won't cost much and will be part of you everyday essentials. I love them and I hope you do too!

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.
