5 eyeshadow palettes to Make your summer-self Shine
Alina Baiju

Summer is a time of bright sun, colorful clothes, and beautiful beaches. And for many people, it's a time to try new things without the constraints of school holding you back-- and since it's said that eyes are the window to your soul, what better place is there to express yourself? So here's a list of must-try eyeshadow palettes from leading brands like Urban Decay, Tarte, Morphe, and BH Cosmetics to show off your stunning summer self!

1. Urban Decay Moondust Palette

This palette has eight beautiful shimmer shades, ranging from a light pink to a dark blue. It's perfect for whenever you want to add a bit of shine to an everyday look or for a quick trip out. It's fancy without being too fancy-- perfect for summer. Specter is my personal favorite shade, especially layered over tan.

2. BH Cosmetics Take Me Back To Brazil Palette

This palette is perfect for adding a pop of color to a simple look-- my personal favorite use for it is to outline my eyeliner with it, adding a 3D effect to the liner and adding color at the same time! It has 35 extremely pigmented pressed shadows. The small size of the pans may seem limiting (most of the shadows are approximately dime-sized), but bright colors are not often used, so this palette lasts longer than expected; I've had mine for nearly a year, and I haven't hit pan on any of them yet. This is my absolute favorite color palette and is perfect for summer.

3. Tarte Be A Mermaid And Make Waves Palette

This palette has 14 matte and shimmer shades made with Amazonian clay, all of which have an impressive color payoff. Additionally, the palette component is absolutely stunning-- it's an iridescent blue-green seashell compact.

4. Morphe Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette

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.
