It's here. You've all been waiting for it. All of you that message me out of the blue and ask what makeup I use. All will be revealed shortly. Are you ready? It's time. Kayla's Ride or Die Makeup Tag.

Basically this tag is choosing one product from each category that you can't live without, or that is your favorite. I'll also include a mini review and price for those interested. Some of these I don't currently use because they are expensive and I'm trying to eat and stuff, but these are all of my favorites. Who's ready to rumble?

Foundation

Kat Von D Lock it Foundation

35.00, only at Sephora

This foundation changed the game for me. Completely full coverage, transfer proof, stays on all day. It is a really thick formula, which I can understand some people not liking as it can feel heavy on the skin, but I personally like knowing my foundation isn't going anywhere. If you have dry skin or wrinkles this foundation is not for you, as it will cling to these features. A little goes a long way, one bottle lasts me about 3 or 4 months. I recommended this foundation to my roommate last year and she summed it up the best: "I can't go back!" I haven't been able to afford this foundation in a while but when I get some funds it is going back in my makeup drawer!

Primer

Nivea Men's Post Shave Balm in Sensitive

6.49, found in most drug stores

Nikkie Tutorials introduced this one to the world. It's cheap, it's effective, it smells nice, and did I mention IT'S CHEAP! This unconventional product has worked better for me then some 30 dollar primers, and a little goes a long way as primer so the bottle will last you a while.

Concealer

Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

28.00

There will never be a concealer like this one. It is full coverage but still has a light formula. It blends like a dream with a beauty blender and I've never had problems with it creasing, even when I wear it without powder. I use concealer to cover my under eyes and problem spots, but also to highlight my face. This does a great job at both. It costs a pretty penny for sure, and a tube doesn't last long for me as I slather it on my face like no one's business. If you are willing to fork out a little money for a quality concealer, this one is for you.

Face Powder

Bare Minerals Bare Skin Powder

28.00

I found this laying around the house and forgot I had it, but now I use it every day as a powder over my foundation. With a big fluffy brush it applies beautifully to give a nice finish to any foundation. I am almost out and I'm open to trying a new face powder as I really haven't explored the market with this category.

Blush

Too Faced Love Flush Everlasting Blush in I Will Always Love You

26.00

This color looks a little out there, but on pale skin tones like mine it gives a beautiful, subtle flush that blends well with a contour. It is very pigmented, so try not to get too much on your brush to avoid looking like a party clown. I have the mini version of this blush that came with the Nikkie Tutorials collaboration and I adore it.

Bronzer

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer


30.00

This bronzer is incredible. It's light and blends nicely to prevent an embarrassing contour, and is also nice if you just want to add a little color around your cheekbones and temples. If you want a darker contour you can build it up easily. The best part? It smells and tastes like chocolate. Mmm.

Highlighter

Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in "Smoke N' Whistles"

8.00

Colourpop's highlighter is an interesting creme formula. When I first swatched it I thought of a puppy's nose, it's so soft and smooth. If you put too much on it might be seen as greasy, but I've never had that problem. You can apply this with your fingers for an intense highlight or a brush for a more subtle one. The best part? It's insanely cheap.

Mascara

Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara

22.00

To put it simply- this mascara gets the job done. It has a huge wand that adds tremendous volume and length to my tiny lashes. It stays on longer than anything else on my face.

Lipstick

Colourpop Lippie Stix in "Poison"

5.00

YOU READ THAT RIGHT! FIVE DOLLARS! Colourpop is the love of my life and I LOVE their lippie stix. Super pigmented, stays on relatively well. It is not transfer or kiss proof, but reapplying isn't a huge deal because it is quite moisturizing. The only thing I don't like is the smell. It is similar to a crayola crayon with a strong vanilla scent in an attempt to mask it.

Liquid Lip

Colourpop Liquid Lip in "Trap"

6.00

SIX FRIGGIN DOLLARS! FOR A NICE LIQUID LIP! Rumour has it that Colourpop liquid lips are the same formula has Kylie Jenner lip kits, but I can neither confirm or deny. This color is a nice light petal pink that is a nice touch to a dramatic eye or a subtle lip for a natural look. The formula is not drying and lasts all day. I am a Colourpop fanatic!

Eyeshadow Palette

Jeffree Star's Beauty Killer Palette


36.00

I hate to say it, because Jeffree Star is not my favorite person in the world by any means, but this palette is a winner for days. I have never owned eyeshadow that is so unique, PIGMENTED, and long lasting. I'm serious about the pigmentation y'all. I barely have to dip my brush into these HUGE pans. There are so many unique looks i can make with this palette, and I'm never bored with it. I have decided not to buy Jeffree's products any more, but I'm gonna use this till it runs out.


There you have it! Comment down below your favorites or if you disagree with any of my picks.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
