For anyone who is in the beauty community, you have heard about the highly anticipated drop of FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna. It was released September 8, 2017, exclusively to Sephora- online and in stores.

Unlike most new brands, she released multiple items at once rather than one at a time. All the packaging is honeycomb shaped and pink nude colors; it is a very classy yet chic. Of course, knowing Rihanna, she did not follow the norm and release items that can be found with every other brand. She focused specifically on face –– foundation, primer, highlight, etc.

And to top it all off, it is formulated without parabens or phthalates and is 100% cruelty-free.

However, with a huge release, it can be quite overwhelming. Below you can find the four most successful products so you don't have to go in blindly.

Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation ($34)

This foundation comes with 1.08 oz –– a little over standard and comes in a whopping 40 shades. There are shades for the pale-as-paper to deep-as-night. Her effort to include every skin color and skin type is appreciated by everyone. It is medium coverage but can be sheered out or built up and has a matte, skin like finish. It blurs the skin to hide pores and imperfections and is shine and oil free. However, they do slightly oxidize so either swatch them in store and let it dry or purchase one shade lighter.

."Foundation is one of those areas in the beauty industry that has a big void for women at extreme ends of the shade spectrum. There’s this middle ground that's covered really, really well. But then if you're very pale or if you're very dark, there aren’t a lot of options. And so, I wanted to make sure that women of all skin tones were covered so they could be included in what I created."—Rihanna, Brand Founder


Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer ($32)

It is the same 1.08 oz as the foundation. This primer mattifies, refines pores, and smooths your face while increasing the longevity or your makeup. It's consistency differs than most mattifying primers because it is comparable to a lotion's consistency. "The universal invisipinkâ„¢ formula creates a filter-like blurring effect and melts instantly into all skin tones without a trace"

Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter ($32)

These highlight duos come in six different compacts with 10 distinct shades. Each contains 2 pans of .12 oz; however, two are a single pan compact and not a duo- a .28 oz pan. Each duo comes with a shade with a light sheen and then a corresponding one with a blinding, metallic shimmer. The single pans are probably the most coveted shades- Trophy Wife, a blinding, glittery true gold, and Metal Moon, an iridescent, icy white, gold. The four duos are all pinky/peachy tones. This formula is a cream-to-powder finish so it will glide on smoothly and hide texture rather than extenuate.

Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick ($25)

These cream to powder shimmer sticks are quite the stunner. It is .25 oz. There are 10 shades- 6 "natural" shades so there is one for every skin tone, and 4 fun shades. These can be applied directly on to the high points of the face to highlight, to the lips, on the eyes, or anywhere you want! These multi-purpose sticks can be lightly applied, or heavily layered to get the full pow.

These 4 out of this world hits are only the beginning of a bomb a** brand. Make sure to try out all of the products yourself at the nearest Sephora to get your socks personally blown off. For a review of all the released products check out Jeffree Star or Laura Lee.

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.

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.
