Must Haves for Makeup Addicts

My favorite makeup brands and products.

From one makeup addict to another, we can all agree that for some reason we thoroughly enjoy buying new makeup to add to our collection. That overwhelming feeling you get when you walk in to a Sephora or Ulta is universally known. Or when you get a gift card and you run to get that new eye shadow pallete or matte lip stick. Sometimes you will literally wait on online queues because the new item (such as the Sweet Peach Pallete) would become sold out in due time. All of us makeup lovers also know we have our favorite brands and products that we can't imagine our makeup routine without.

NYX, Soft Matte Lip Creme

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme is one of my favorite items. I have about four of them and I use them almost everyday. Compared to other liquid lipsticks, the price is affordable at only $6. I've seen liquid lipsticks for as much as $25 or more, and NYX's quality is just as good. The texture is unlike the other liquid lipsticks I own. As advertised, it is more like a cream and has a thicker formula. The colors are diverse and very pigmented, as well. In addition, it stays on for a while and is pretty durable. I would also recommend the NYX Dewey Finish Setting Spray for $8. This is a bargain compared to $30 ones I've seen. NYX is definitely a reliable source for makeup, and has products that are affordable.

Too Faced, Sweet Peach Pallete and Chocolate Bar Pallete

Contrasting with NYX, Too Faced Cosmetics can get expensive. I have both the Sweet Peach Pallate and the Chocolate Bar Pallate. Each were $49. I'm biased, but compared to flakier and cheaper eye shadows, these are worth it. With just one swipe of a brush, you get so much vibrant colors and pigment. They also are long-lasting and will remain bright all day. And the multiple colors lays way to different combinations and looks. Honestly these are great eye shadows, but yes, super super expensive. Too Faced has other products as well that I hope to try out in the future!

Anastasia Beverly Hills, Liquid Lipstick

Like Too Faced, also expensive. I have one of these liquid lipsticks, which was $20. Compared to the NYX lip creme, this is a more expensive, yet a bigger buy. The tube is bigger and the texture is different. I use this one sparingly and only on special occasions because it is more expensive, but the quality is really good. Another product from this brand that I hope to try in the future is their Modern Renaissance eye shadow pallate, which is $42.

Kat Von D, Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

I have two of Kat Von D's lipsticks, one a nude/brown color and the other a dark red. Like Anastasia Beverly Hills, they are $20. The colors I got are not really for an everyday look, so I use them every so often. I love the quality of this lipstick, a little more so than the previous one. Sometimes matte lipsticks can get crusty, but I've never experienced that with Kat Von D. Another product I'm dying to try is the Tattoo Liner, $20, which I've heard positive things about.

Dolly Wink, Liquid Eyeliner

Not a mainstream brand or product, but definitely a must have if you like to do eyeliner. You can order it on Amazon for $17. I have tried both the black and brown, and love both. Through using this eyeliner, I learned to perfect my winged look. The applicator is think and pointy, so it really allows you to have control of your eyeliner.

Urban Decay, Matte Revolution Lipstick

This is one of the only lipsticks I own that isn't liquid. They are $22 and I still use one that I got over a year ago. I have a lot of items on my wish list from Urban Decay, from the Naked 3 Pallate, to the Vice Liquid Lipstick, etc.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
