Makeup is complicated. Makeup is not easy to master sometimes. But the reason I love makeup is because it's fun. Deep down, having fun is what makeup is all about. For me, makeup is another medium in which I can express my creativity. Here are 11 things my fellow makeup lovers can probably relate to.

1. The feeling of sheer possibility walking into Sephora

2. Spending money you don't really need to be spending on more makeup

3. "You're so pretty without all that makeup!"

4. Getting your winged liner even on the first try once in a blue moon

5. "Who are you wearing all that makeup for?"

6. Hitting pan

7. Liquid lipstick: you either love it or you hate it

8. "I prefer girls who are natural"

9. Attempting a makeup tutorial look and having it turn out looking nothing like the original

10. "Just do your makeup at my house and we'll get ready together"

10. Doing all your friend's makeup for prom

11. That feeling when you just absolutely nail a look

Makeup is a fun way to express your originality and creativity. It always comes with pros and cons but when it comes to self-expression, you do you!

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?"

"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.
