10 Unnecessary Makeup Products That You Still Can't Live Without

YouTube

Do you ever consider how much money you've invested in your makeup? We all have those beauty products that we spend way too much money on, but couldn't live without. These products are beyond your usual collection of foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara and transcend the world of looking really, really good. Here of are a few of my favorite unnecessary beauty products, that I honestly don't know why I bought, but I'm so glad I did.

1. Marc Jacobs Glitter Mascara ($26, Sephora)

That's right y'all, I'm talking about designer glitter in a tube.

2. Kylie Lip Kit ($29, kyliecosmetics.com)

The real reason you want this is just to say that you got one in the five minutes before they sold out.

3. Mineralize SkinFinish Lightscapade ($32, MAC Cosmetics)

Because why not add a little extra shimmer to your face?

4. Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Mascara ($35, Sephora)

It's only $10 extra for another one millimeter of length added to your lashes.

5. Too Faced Hangover Primer ($32, Sephora)

Who knows the difference between this and Jergen's lotion from the drug store?

6. Urban Decay B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray ($33, Sephora)

Even better than designer glitter is designer water. And we're not talking Voss, people.

7. Beauty Blender ($20, Sephora)

This sponge better be laced with gold.

8. Too Faced Lip Injection ($22, Sephora)

Let's be real, we all just like how it makes our lips tingle.

9. Christian Louboutin Silky Satin Lip Colour ($90, Sephora)

This lipstick better still be on my lips in my casket.

10. St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse ($49, Sephora)

God forbid you just go and get a spray tan.

The sad thing is, there isn't a single one of these products that I would substitute with a drug store version or stop buying altogether. Just remember, beauty doesn't come cheap.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
