Redoing parts of your makeup to get it just right.

Yes, it absolutely does take me three tries to get the perfect winged eyeliner. So worth it when it's all done.


You're subscribed to or following beauty accounts.

Michelle Phan, Nikki Tutorials, and Jeffree Star are all names you have come to know and love. If it weren't for them and other beauty gurus you would not be capable of attaining the level of makeup awesomeness that you have somewhat achieved.

Accounting for the time it takes you to fix your mistakes when deciding what time to start doing your makeup.

Well, it'll take me a while to get my lashes and lipstick up to standard. I also mess up on my brows at least twice. That'll add about half an hour.

Saving money strictly for a new palette.

This paycheck goes towards my Kylie Jenner Royal Peach palette and this next one goes towards the Naked Basics palette. It's not a problem, I can stop whenever I want!

Taking way too much makeup with you for travel.

Even if it's only a weekend trip, you have to bring every single palette you own. You know... for choices.

When you have achieved the perfect look and absolutely dread taking it off at night.

That dreadful time when the makeup wipes have to come out and the makeup to come off. Say goodbye to all of the fleekiness. Tragic.

Getting too excited when you buy something new.

It doesn't matter what you have going on tonight, you have to put on that new highlight you just purchased.

Your email is 80% beauty retailers.

Important business emails? You mean the fact that I get a free lipgloss with my Sephora purchase of $50 or more? Yup. Very business. Very important. *furiously begins online shopping*

Always experimenting with colors.

Trying to replicate the fierce looks of the Instagram community and sometimes going a little too far. Maybe the blue lipstick wasn't the best idea for a meeting with my professor...

Finding excuses to do a full face of makeup.

The grocery store? Okay, just give me like two and a half hours to get ready.

You're trying something new every time you do your makeup.

New contour technique, cut crease for the first time. That's the beauty of makeup: always experimenting and figuring out what makes you feel like you. Now, go out there and try to make all of the beauty gurus proud!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
