Which Type Of Lipstick Is Right For You?

Have you ever seen someone with an absolutely stunning lip and just wondered how they manage to pull it off? They make it look so effortless and easy, but when you try to wear lipstick you just end up feeling like a fool with slime all over your mouth. Don't give up just yet! There are many different types of lipstick that work for all types of people. Here are just a few that might fit you just right.

Moisturizing Lipstick

Moisturizing lipstick is a great lipstick for those who suffer from chapped lips. It helps keep a shiny color while keeping your lips moist and crack free. You'll usually have to apply more coats of this lipstick more often than others, especially after eating and drinking. Nearly every brand has a version of moisturizing lipstick, but I find that Rimmel London's Kate Moss collection has some nice ones to offer. These can be bought at all major drug stores for under $10.

Matte Lipstick

If your looking for a lipstick that's a tab bit less maintenance, matte just might be your type. When applying, it goes on dry and stays that way nearly all day. Minimal smudging and application, it's a good choice for a busy person. That is, of course, if you can get past the dryness on your lips. Matte is making a huge splash in the cosmetic industry at the moment, with nearly every brand having a take on it. Mac Cosmetics have a great line from vibrant to nude tones, priced at around $16 a tube.

Sheer Lipstick

This type of lipstick will provide a thin, sheer tint to your lips rather than bog them down completely with color. It's very casual, light, and easy to wear. Reapplication is a must after eating, drinking, and every few hours, but nothing too strenuous. This won't provide a serious pop of color but will give your lips a more casual shine. Ulta offers a range of sheer lipsticks in various shades for $8.

Lip Gloss

While it's not exactly a lipstick per-say, lip gloss is great for a night out, a casual makeup look, or even complimenting a matte lipstick. Lip gloss provides shine that can be seen across a room, but it also tends to be a bit sticky (your hair will inevitably get stuck in it). Lip gloss will vary by brand for colors and vibrancy, but are fairly light for the most part. Burt's Bee has a great gloss selection priced at around $8.

Lip Stain

If you want to skip the lip stick all around and try something new, lip stains may be a good option. They provide long lasting color without drying out your lips. While you're color will likely last all day, it doesn't provide that overall smooth coverage like a lipstick or lip gloss would. e.l.f have a small line of nice lip stains in various colors, starting at a price of only $2.

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.

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.
