10 Makeup Must Haves Under $10

The search for makeup products that are both affordable and reliable is very time consuming and also challenging! So to save you time and money, I have come up with my 10 makeup must haves under $10!

1. Wet n' Wild Photo Focus Eyeshadow Primer ($4.68 - Walmart)


The key to flawless, long lasting eye shadow starts with primer. For a long time, I was faithful to Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion which retails for $20.00. When first introduced to this product I was skeptical, but now I use it every single day! It will make your eyeshadow slip proof and last all day!

2. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herb, and Rosewater ($7.00 - 4 oz. - Ulta)

I use this for literally everything... after I wash my face, to set my makeup, in my hair, on my skin, and especially whenever my face is feeling dry. It doesn't get any better than this spray. If you only take away one thing from this list, please make it this one. It will leave your face feeling clean, hydrated, and rosy.

3. CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara ($6.99 - Target)

This mascara is a cult favorite. I know a lot of women who have used and loved this mascara! It gives your eyelashes the perfect amount of volume and never leaves them clumpy!

4. NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder - Sunny ($3.62 - Target)

This bronzer is perfect for contouring! I have tried the holy grail Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer ($29.00) and I can honestly tell you this is better because for the price of one Hoola you can buy eight of these.

5. J.Cat Beauty Triple Crown Baked Eyeshadow ($5.99 - Ulta)

I love this eyeshadow for the quality, the pigmentation, and of course the lazy factor — with a single pan you can create an entire eye look. Seriously you have a crease, lid, and brow bone/inner corner color, all in one!

6. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer + Treatment ($6.79 - Target)

Dark circles — they happen to the best of us, and some days (or nights I should say) are better than others. Even though this concealer is marketed for dark circles, it also works great for covering up pimples, blemishes, or correcting any discoloration.

7. Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip ($6.00 - Colourpop.com)


If you've never heard of Colourpop products, I would hit up their website asap, but only after you've finished this article! It is rumored that Colourpop and Kylie Costmetics share the same manufacturer and have a very similar formula. When one Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lipstick retails for ($17.00) and Colourpop's Ultra Matte Lip costs three times less which one do you think I will purchase?

8. NYX Cosmetics Matte Liquid Liner ($6.99 - Ulta)

Everyone has their own preference on which type of eyeliner they prefer to use (pencil, liquid, felt tip, etc...) but if you prefer liquid then this is the eyeliner for you! This eyeliner lasts all day, dries completely matte, and the brush is easy to work with when creating a "wing."

9. Milani Baked Blush ($7.49 - Target)

What makes this one of my must haves is the quality of this blush. It feels very luxurious and the formula is similar to other "high end" blushes. The color 'Luminoso - 05' is very similar to the Nars Blush in color 'Orgasm' which retails for $30.00. The Milani Baked Blushes also come in 8 other gorgeous colors suitable for every skin tone!

10. Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes - 25ct. ($5.99 - Target)

As much as I love applying makeup, I also love taking my makeup off after a long day. These wipes are great for being able remove ALL of your makeup, including the toughest mascara! They also smell amazing. I never thought there was a big difference between makeup wipes but boy was I wrong - since trying these I have never gone back!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
