Just let me buy twenty shades of lipstick if I want to

10 Things You Should Never Say to a Makeup Junkie

1. Well, I don't wear makeup.

Um, good for you? This usually follows with the person telling me why they don't wear or need makeup. Like them telling me that is going to stop me from buying it.

2. I would never buy drugstore makeup.

The only thing more annoying than a person who shuns makeup, is a brand snob. Any true makeup junkie knows that many high end makeup brands own drugstore brands. Often times, formulas are the same as their high-end counterparts. If there's a high-end product, there's a good chance I have a dupe for it.

3. You don't need makeup though.

Thanks. I know it's meant as a compliment, but it's still annoying. Makeup is a luxury, not a necessity, and I wear it because I want to. And sometimes, if we have imperfections that we want to cover up, it's a great confidence booster. But that doesn't mean I need it to feel good about myself.

4. I like it when girls wear less makeup.

This is just so aggravating. That's your preference, fine. But ten times out of ten when a guy shows a picture of a girl with less or "no" makeup, she has makeup on. And this leads me to my next rant.

5. Taking her swimming on the first date.

This isn't as common to hear anymore, but it was a way for men to basically humiliate women. Take us swimming and there's a good chance our makeup is waterproof. While you're at it, shave your beard; cause you know when you shave it, you'll look completely different.

6. How could you spend so much on that? I couldn't.

Do you spend money on things that you enjoy? I enjoy makeup and skincare, so that's what I like to spend my money on. And while we're at it, do you pay my bills? My telephone bills, automobiles? No? Then don't worry about what I spend my money on.

7. Those lipstick shades all look the same.

Well, they're not. Undertones make all the difference.

8. Are you sick/tired?

This is a question that usually comes when I don't have makeup on. No, I'm not sick, it's just my face. But I am tired of these questions.

9. Are all of those makeup brushes necessary?

No, go ahead and put on a full face using just one brush. You'll end up looking like this.

10. Who are you trying to look good for?

ME! It still baffles people that when it comes to something that is seen as vain, such as makeup or working out, that a person can do it solely for themselves. I have a boyfriend; do I like to look good for him? Yes. But I don't spend the money I do on makeup and skincare for him, especially when he can't tell the difference between a MAC lipstick or a Pat MacGrath one.

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.
