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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
