There's something so satisfying about doing your makeup with products that are crazy affordable. Not to say the expensive stuff isn't great as well, but when you make a good makeup find at your local Target or CVS it's like finding treasure. These are my favorite makeup products that I found at great prices that won't hurt your wallet. Some will be a bit expensive but they also last a long time.

E.L.F: Dual Concealer and Highlighter wand

Why it's great: It helps hide zits or other spots and does great highlighting

Price: $3

Neutrogena: Clear Face Break Out Free Liquid Lotion Sunscreen (SPF 55)

Why it's great: I use it for moisturizing my face before putting on makeup and it keeps it nice and sunburn free. I highly recommend it for people with oily skin.

Price: $10.19

Revlon: Colorstay Normal/Dry Foundation (with SPF 20)

Why it's great: It's a long lasting and smooth foundation, not to mention it has SPF which is perfect for anyone who hides from the sun like me!

Price: $9.69

Benefit: The Porefessional

Why it's great: It covers up any pores you may have and glides on like butter (in a good way). A little goes a long way with this product.

Price: $31

Tarte: Paaaarty-12 hour blush

Why it's great: It's an easy and light blush to apply on your cheeks.

Price: Free for a Sephora reward members, this is an item you can get on your birthday.

L'Oreal: Voluminous Feline in Black/Brown

Why it's great: It makes your eyelashes look super long and doesn't often clump them either.

Price: $7.99

NYX: Soft Matte Lip Cream-Cannes

Why it's great: I love using this color for natural looks because it's not super bright but also not super dull. Plus it smells like cake batter.

Price: $6.49

NYX: HD Finishing Powder

Why it's great: It gives your makeup a nice and matte finished off look. If your skin is a bit pinkish like mine, purchase it in mint green to help tone down your natural redness.

Price: $9.99

NYX: White eyeliner

Why it's great: I learned a trick a while back from youtube that if you want to make your eyes look bigger you should line your waterline with white eyeliner. This certainly does the trick and glides on easily.

Price: $7.99

Besame: 1946-Red Velvet Lipstick

Why it's great: I was in love with Peggy Carter's shade of lipstick in Marvel's "Agent Carter" and once I found the actual lipstick used on the show I had to have it. It's an awesome and fantastic shade of red made with 1940's era accurate ingredients.

Price: $22

Rimmel London: Stay Matte Powder Foundation

Why it's great: Really all you need is a light dusting on your face for it to work and that's it! Plus it lasts all day!

Price: $3.29

Urban Decay: Naked2-BASICS eye shadow palette

Why it's great: It's perfect for easy natural looks and can help create an easy smoky eye.

Price: $29.00

Too Faced: Sweet Peach eye shadow palette

Why it's great: It has so many nice and natural colors plus it smells like peaches.

Price: $49.00 (expensive but worth it)

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
