Every girl obsessed with makeup knows that you can walk into Mac or Sephora with a crisp $100 bill after payday and walk out with three lipsticks. Brand name makeup can cost a fortune, especially for us girls in our teens and 20-somethings. Trust me, when your brows are on fleek nobody will notice if you used Anastasia or a five dollar drugstore knockoff; they'll be too busy complementing your perfectly arched and sharp lines. Here are a few drugstore dupes for popular makeup brands so that you can get all the glam and beat your face without breaking your bank.

1. Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer Vs. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer

I think the dupe is even better and not just because of the $24 difference. I mean, seriously, if you have a hard to cover blemish, dark circles or you feel like rubbing that stuff all over your face to look like a porcelain doll, trust me you'll feel fiercer than ever.

2. Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix foundation stick Vs. Bobbi Brown

Another foundation that works absolute wonders and keeps your skin looking flawless all day long.

3. NARS blush Vs. Elf blush

There are so many cheaper versions of NARS' blushes that look virtually the same that are 10 times less expensive.

4. NARS highlight vs. Elf Highlight

Another NARS vs. Elf product that costs you one-tenth of the cost if you go with the Elf option which still glows on your cheekbones perfectly.

5. Mac lipstick vs. Drugstore lipstick

Here are several different makeup brands that'll be much cheaper than the OG Mac lipsticks. There isn't an exact dupe for every color, but here are some that have pretty close competitors.

6. Urban Decay Naked Palette Vs. Elf Studio Pro

It's not hard to recreate the famous naked palette smokey eye with virtually any other pigmented eyeshadow kit in natural colors.

7. Hourglass Cosmetics Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation Vs. Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

$62 vs. $5 for seriously nearly the same result. Enough said.

8. Too Faced Better Than Sex Vs. Rimmel Scandalizes Retro Glam


If you're like me you know that sometimes one mascara just doesn't cut it and to really get nice long lashes you have to pile a few layers of different mascaras on. Rimmel's mascara makes a great first layer

9. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Coulour Balm Vs. Revlon ColourBurst Balm Stain

Both offer the same vibrant and soft color with a stain that lasts for several hours except Revlon's version is $10 cheaper.

10. Smashbox Photo Finish Vs. NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer



Get your face ready to look glam without all the extra cost. Any primer is better than no primer; this just happens to be a pretty good alternative.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
