It's no secret that some beauty trends stay trendy for years, while others are here one day and gone the next. With that being said, sometimes it's hard to keep track of what trends are worth latching onto, and which ones are better left for yesterday. I decided to make a list of 10 beauty trends that I personally think should stay in the limelight and 10 trends that really need to hit the road.

(*Disclaimer: These are just my personal opinions, so take my advice with a grain of salt.)

 1. Classic Red Lips

Who doesn't love a good, sexy, empowering red lip? I know that every time I put on my favorite shade of red lipstick I feel like I can take on the world. Classic red lips will never go out of style.

2. Bold, Captivating Lip Colors (The Good Side Of This Trend)

To me, there is both a positive and a negative side to these bold and captivating lip colors. The positive side is that there are some shades of these colors that look dazzling on just about everyone — here's to you reds, purples, and pinks. The bad side of these bold colors will be discussed in the "10 Beauty Trends That Need To Go" section.

3. Lip Gloss.

That's right, your junior high beauty trend is making a comeback, and it's bringing back all of the '90s nostalgia with it! Just check your Insta feed and you'll find clear indication that lip-gloss is back in style.

4. Tinted Eyeliners

Who doesn't love a little pop of color above or below the eyelid?

5. Setting Sprays And Powders

Where would we be without these?

6. Beauty Blenders

These are literal lifesavers when it comes to easy makeup application.

7. Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel is making a comeback. You heard that right, the staple beauty item that you probably found in your grandma's bathroom cabinet is here to stay!

8. CBD-Infused Skincare Products (The Good Side of This Trend)

The good side to these products is their natural calming effect and the fact that most of the ingredients in them are natural.

9. The Eco-Friendly Factor

  1. Giphy

It's 2019 and it's time that more beauty brands start caring about their carbon footprint, and some well-established brands have done just that — score for being environmentally conscious!

10. Ingredient Transparency 

Not only are major beauty brands becoming more conscious of their carbon footprint, but they are also starting to realize that consumers everywhere want to know the exact formulas and ingredients that go into the products that they put on their face.

Now that we've gone through the trends that absolutely have to stay trendy, it's time to discuss the trends that need to get left behind.

10 Beauty Trends That Need To Go:

1. The "Glossy" Makeup Look

Look, I'm all for trying out the newest skincare craze, but I personally think the glossy makeup look is overdone. In my opinion, nothing beats the matte look.

2. Bold, Captivating Lip Colors (The Downside Of This Trend)

As I said in the previous section, I'm all for lip colors that look good on virtually anyone, but some of these bold lip colors just look plain ridiculous, take neon green or yellow for example. Seriously, I personally think that those bright fluorescent colors belong to classroom highlighters only, and not in the beauty world.

3. Mega-Bright Eye Shadows

Some of these pigments and colors that are new on the market are actually stunning and to die for, but some bring back scary Junior High school amateur makeup memories. I'm looking at you, awfully-pigmented blue eye shadow!

4. All-Over Body Glow

I personally think that this trend is also overdone, but I will say that a little sun-kissed glow is absolutely stunning. However, an overdone all-over body glow isn't my cup of tea.

5. False Lashes (For Everyday Wear)

Let me clarify my point here so I don't cause an uproar: I will champion 100% for a bold and captivating falsie, but the trend of "let's wear dramatic-looking lashes 24/7" has to go. Everyone is beautiful in his or her own way, and shaking things up every now and again is essential, but wearing falsies every day is a trend that I've seen and that I am so over.

6. Eyebrow Microblading

Call me old fashioned, but in my opinion, a good pair of eyebrow tweezers beats scheduling a microblading session any day. I've never understood the craze of this trend, and I honestly think that this one is better left in yesteryear.

7. Gold-Infused Face Masks

OK, so, I've had friends that are well versed in the skincare field, and they've all said that these gold-infused masks don't do any more good for the skin than regular face masks do. In my opinion, nothing beats a good avocado and oatmeal mask!

8. Walnut Scrubs

I'm not going to name names or mention brands here, but these products are actually horrible for your skin, especially if their formula is crap.

9. CBD-Infused Skincare Products (The Downside Of This Trend)

Quite frankly, the only downside I see to these products is the opinions of the small percentage of today's population that see anything related to cannabis products and think, "Oh, it must be weed-related! Oh wow, that's so awful!" Come on guys, it's 2019, not everything related to cannabis is "bad."

10. Liquid Exfoliators

OK, so maybe I'm not particularly well-versed in this trend, but something about these products just doesn't sit right with me.


And there you have it! I hope you found this list of beauty trends that should stay and beauty trends that should go to be entertaining. If not, at least you got a halfway decent commentary on the beauty industry!

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.
