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)

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

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.
