Let's get into it

If you're out here pretending like you know how to do makeup, like me, this list of products will be perfect for you. I normally am a huge fan of drugstore and medium price range products and I'm definitely not a brand snob. As long as it gets the job done and I don't mess up while applying the product, I'm happy. Here are my top 11 favorite makeup products I use regularly.

​​1. e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit

This thing is literally only $3 and it works as well as any of the expensive products out there right now.

​2. NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Foundation

I use this as more of a concealer and I carve out my brows with this product.

​3. Benefit POREfessional Matte Primer

I have a love hate relationship with primer, I honestly can't tell if it's doing anything and I hate the feeling when I first put it on my face but I gotta pretend like I know what I'm doing so I'm gonna keep buying it.

​4. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation

This stuff is amazing, it keeps my face looking matte all day and it's medium to full coverage which is exactly what I need.

​5. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Powder

This powder is my fave, it makes sure I don't look all shiny and sweaty and it's perfect for touch ups.

​6. Morphe 35OS and 35OM Eye Shadow Palettes

Zoe Johnson

These are my go to eye shadow palettes, hands down. The colors blend so well and are so creamy, they're all neutral-ish and the palettes themselves are pretty cheap. Sign me up!

​7. Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer

I use this as contour and bronzer because I don't really know what I'm doing and it seems to get the job done! Someday I hope to be able to contour as well as Kim Kardashian.

​8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Glow Kit

This is probably one of my favorite makeup items I own. It's amazing for my pale skin tone and I got it on sale on Black Friday so I'm gonna be really sad when she runs out.

​9. It Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara (Black)

I feel like all mascara really does the same thing no matter the brand but I got this one as a sample and I'm in love ugh.

​10. Kiss Lashes (Shy)

This summer I told myself I was going to figure out how to put on fake eyelashes and I can now say I can kind of do it as long as I have an extra 45 minutes. Until I've got the process down, here's to hoping I have a friend nearby to help.

​11. ULTA Matte Makeup Setting Spray

Ava Silverman

I'm not trying to spend a ton of money on setting spray (mostly because I can't tell if it actually helps) so I'm really glad I've found the ULTA brand setting spray.

Here's to pretending I'm good at makeup, either way, I'm going to keep buying more. I've recently had to get a second make up case to house all my products (oops). Makeup is such a fun way to express yourself and your creativity and you can literally create looks for everything. My next makeup related task is learning how to conquer liquid eyeliner, yikes.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
