7 Inexpensive Makeup Products That Will Make You Look Like The Queen You Are

Some of us love makeup but don't really have the budget to buy the top of the line products, while others of us don't really wear much makeup so we don't want to buy the latest Mac pallet because it will never be used! I have compiled a list of inexpensive makeup products that will make you look damn good, but won't break the bank!

1. The Colossal Volume by Maybelline

This mascara is my absolute favorite. I have gone through various brands of mascara over the years, trying to see what would work the best and I continuously go back to this one. Not only does it fan out your lashes, but it makes them look thick and long! I've actually had people ask me if I have lash extensions when I wear this one. What is also great about this little magic wand is that with tax, it should only be about $7!

2. Wet n' Wild Coloricon Bronzer

This bronzer comes in a few different tones! It's very subtle and not too glittery, which can be annoying with some products. The best part is that it is only about $4 dollars and gives a natural looking glow!

3. Ultra Liner by Maybelline in Waterproof


This little guy not only stays on your lids without smearing everywhere after a few hours but lasts a long time in the terms of usage. Because its waterproof and liquid it doesn't go everywhere after a long day's wear, but it comes off super easy when you do choose to take it off. It comes out to be around $6 dollars after tax too!

4. Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation by Rimmel

I love this foundation for a few reasons. Not only does it make my skin look nice and matte, but because it is mousse it is easily spreadable with a beauty blender so a little goes a long way! I usually would put a small dab on the back of my hand and use my damp beauty blender to conceal any imperfections I choose to cover!

5.Nyx Matte Liquid Lipstick

I absolutely love lipstick, especially when I need to dress up for something to add a little something extra. Nyx Matte Liquid Lipstick has a variety of colors and stays on your lips for a long time. So if you're looking to add a little pop to your makeup I would highly recommend these! With tax one of them comes to be about $7.

6. Vaseline

It surprises me how many people don't know that Chapstick and lipgloss are basically overpriced, miniature tubes of Vaseline AKA Petroleum Jelly. I don't even buy lip gloss. I just buy a container of Vaseline and slide it on my lips. They even sell them in tiny containers that will fit in your bag! If you want a little color just use a small dab of lipstick on your lips then top it off bit of this! You can even get the generic version and it does the same thing. The price can range from $1-$5 and it lasts FOREVER.

7. Banana Boat Self Tanning Lotion

This stuff works miracles. You rub it on after you shower and it will show up in about an hour! It comes in two shades, Deep Dark Color, as well as Light/Medium and It, lasts about 5 days before you have to reapply. I love to have a glow but I don't like the idea of going into tanning beds. If you do use this, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward so they don't turn orange! This comes out to be around $7-$8 and comes in a mousse as well!

Hopefully, this list of beauty products helps you feel like the queen you are without emptying your wallet because they sure do for me!

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.
