11 Inexpensive Makeup Brands Every Makeup Lover Should Know

Being a lover of makeup and broke, I'm always looking for new makeup brands that are inexpensive and are of decent quality. Here's a list of affordable makeup brands for all you makeup lovers out there.

1. Colourpop


This makeup brand is super affordable and super fun! They have a lot of fun colors when it comes to eye-shadow and lipsticks. And they're always updating different looks on their website for inspo.

2. Wet 'n Wild


This brand can be bought at any drugstore or grocery store. Great quality and great prices.

3. Makeup Revolution

You can only find this at Ulta but, don't let that fool you. This brand is actually super affordable and they're known for making dupes of more expensive brands. So, you can still get similar shades as a more expensive brand or palette for cheap.

4. NYX


NYX Cosmetics has always killed it when it comes to makeup and they're also one of the most inexpensive brands I've come across. Their lipsticks are between $6-$9 and they're eyeshadows and palettes range from $4-$25! Like Colourpop, they offer a lookbook for all your makeup inspirations.

5. Drugstore

Honestly, some of the best foundation, mascara and eyeliner I've gotten at a drugstore or Walmart. For those just starting out in the makeup world, some of the makeup brands that can be found here are Covergirl, Neutrogena, Revlon and Milani. They're all great quality with great prices!

6. e.l.f.

Okay, I haven't really used this brand but I've heard a lot of great things about it and I've looked into them before. You can pretty much this brand anywhere and they have makeup on their website for as little as $1. They're also cruelty-free which is an added bonus!

7. ipsy


An ipsy subscription is one of they BEST ways to get makeup. For $10 a month, you get a new makeup bag with five samples of different makeup and brands that you can try. My makeup collection has grown vastly because of ipsy. It's one of my favorite ways to get new makeup and try new things. They also offer different discount codes from their site and websites of the makeup brands that they carry!

8. BH Cosmetics


Super affordable and cruelty-free!!

9. Morphe


Though this is a more popular brand in the makeup community, it's actually pretty affordable. I have a gorgeous palette from them and they're all $22.99 for 35 beautiful colors!

10. Royal & Langnickel


This makeup brand focuses solely on making brushes. Brushes are so important when it comes to doing your makeup, but they can also get pretty pricey. Their brushes super cute and colorful and range from $4.99-$20.

11. Aurora


I discovered this brand through Ipsy. They sent me an eyeliner by them and I absolutely love it! I checked out their website and everything ranges from $8-$15. Very nice!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
