8 Must-Have Makeup Products

Makeup has been one of my biggest loves ever since the seventh grade. I've evolved from just using Walgreen's makeup to being a V.I.B. member at Sephora. Needless to say, I've been in this game long enough to discover what works the best for me. Some of the products I use are super cheap and work just fine. Other products, my dad would probably have a heart attack if he knew just how much one highlighter cost. Here are my must have makeup products at the moment!

1. Foundation

After I put on moisturizer, I put on foundation. I'm a big fan of full coverage, so I've been switching back and fourth from Sephora's foundation ($20) and L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte foundation ($10.79). Both are great and last all day!

2. Blush

Next I move on to blush. You've got to add a pop of color to your skin so you don't look so blah with just your foundation on. Recently I discovered how great the brand Milani is, which I bought at Target. I've been using Milani Powder Blush in the shade 01 Romantic Rose ($7.99).

3. Highlighter (MY FAVORITE)

Okay so I recently went to Sephora told told the makeup artist there that I wanted to glow like a glazed donut. With their amazing expertise they sat me down in a makeup chair and we played around with a few highlighters and I absolutely fell into love Becca in the shade Prismatic Amethyst ($38)

4. Eyeshadow

Just to let everyone know, eyeshadow last me forever so I've been switching back and fourth between two palettes. The first palette I use all the time is Tarte Pretty Paintbox Collector's Makeup Case Palette which I think ran for ($60)ish dollars when it was at Sephora. The second palette I use a lot (and that I've bought several times is Stila Eyes Are The Window Shadow Palette in the color Soul ($49).

5. Eyeliner (WING IT BABY)

I've recently become a fan of the winged eye look mostly because I can FINALLY draw them on well. After you get the knack of it, I highly recommend trying Kat Von D Tattoo Liner ($20).

6. Mascara

The last step for finishing my eye look! I've been using Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara ($23) ever since my sophomore year of high school. I will never use another brand of mascara ever.

7. Lips

For my every day look I use Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in the shade 055 Stockholm Chic ($6.29) to match my new auburn hair. When I feel like getting fancy I use my classic Mac Lipstick in Ruby Woo ($17).

8. Setting Spray

To completely finish everything, I spray my face with Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray ($31).

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen! I'm by no means a professional or guru when it comes to makeup, but it's something that I love doing. Seriously, putting on my makeup is the most relaxing time of the day for me. So go out there, try these products, and let me know what you think! Stay flawless my friends :)

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.
