Here's a picture of my first ever Valentine's Day look:

Wow what a comedian I was half a decade ago.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Now see, I know nothing about Valentine's Day, since I have never had a REAL valentine. Instead, I got valentines back in elementary school because some kid's mom bought a pack to give the whole class, but never the whole mushy lovey dovey extravaganza. So, I am going to talk about something I do know, makeup. Now, although I do not celebrate Valentine's Day with a significant other, I do my face to match the holiday. Here are my go-to products to use for looks.

Let us start with eyes. Now this can go anywhere from a natural flirty eye, to anything big, bold, and glittery.

1. Too Faced's Sweet Peach Palette

This palette is great if you are looking for something that isn't too complicated. It has a great range of nude colors, and a little bit of sparkle to add to your eye.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills' Modern Renaissance

Ah, a cult favorite that has grasped the hearts of anyone that does makeup. This palette includes a lot of daring colors that really pop out when applied on the eye.

3. Urban Decay's Naked HEAT

As newer palette in the naked series, there has been a lot of commotion around this palette since it came out. It has filled with many warm toned reds, beiges, and browns that'll show off your warm heart!

4. Stila's Glitter and Glow Liquid Eyeshadow

This picture does not really show all the available shades, but it does show off how glittery these liquid shadows are. They're my absolute go to whenever I need to apply glitter! However, I suggest getting them in the smaller sizes that Sephora sells in sets of 3. While I do love these shadows, I don't necessarily wear a glitter eye everyday, so be on the lookout for these value packs.

Next stop: Lips. If anything, I am not kissing anyone this Valentine's Day, so I am free to wear any lipstick without worrying about it getting smudged.

5. Fenty Beauty's Lip Stunna

To be honest, I have never really been a fan of red lips. I just thought that it would never work on me, until I applied this. It's that iconic bold red that remains a classic look.

6. Huda Beauty's Liquid Lipstick in "FAMOUS"

I usually wear a dark red lip, and I 10/10 recommend this liquid lip. It may be matte, but to me it feels satin!

7. Bite Beauty's Amuse Bouche Lipstick in "LIQUORICE"

Another favorite dark lippie of mine that I go for whenever I do not feel like having to paint my lips for 10 minutes with a liquid lip.

8. Kat Von D's Liquid Lipstick in "LOLITA"

Yet another cult favorite on this list. Lolita has always been one of my favorites since it gives off a natural looking pink color.

And now the moment you have been waiting for, HIGHLIGHTER. Now if you are single, you are your own light of the day, so why not shine on for others. Bonus Tip: Sometimes I mix in a little bit of the Stila liquid eyeshadows to give off a little extra sparkle!

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills' Nicole Guerriero Highlighting Palette

This palette has all your highlighter needs: gold tones, pink tones, all the frickin tones! My personal favorite shade: Forever Young. Any of these colors can be mixed with each other as well and create more lovely shades.

10. Urban Decay's Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder in "AURA"

I don't really use this baked highlighter on its own. It has quite the glittery finish, and I usually apply it on top of other highlighters for that extra shine. It is a quick 2 second brush on for that extra sparkle.

At the end of the day, there is a lot of makeup you can play with to make Valentine's day looks whether you're single or taken. Here are some of mine for inspiration:

However, you can never go wrong with the classic:

Yes, that is me again. Valentine's Day 2017.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! If you have no one to love, remember to love yourself! Also, I love you!! <3

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.
