Do you want a blinding highlight but don’t have $50 to spend on one product? How about a rainbow collection of lipsticks for the price of 1 high end liquid-to-matte formula? Do fancy eyeshadow palettes catch your eye, but the price makes you cringe? What if you could have all of those without breaking your budget? Well, you can! Here are 5 products that will help you slay your makeup without slaying your wallet.


Elf Baked Highlighter

Get. Ready. To. BLIND. This highlighter is sold in drugstores and online, and it’s worth every penny of its $4 price tag. When applied with a highlighter brush it gives a delicate, natural glow. Wet the brush first and you’ll get an extremely foiled, pigmented sheen that you can see from outer space.


Colourpop Ultra Matte Lips

The trend of velvety matte lipstick has taken the beauty world by storm. However, most liquid lipsticks cost at least $18. Colourpop, however, offers a wide range of liquid lips for only $6 each. They offer just about every color imaginable, from subtle nudes to bright reds to vampy purples. Added bonus: you can enjoy your favorite foods while wearing them, they won’t budge or transfer.


NYX Finishing Spray

There is no worse feeling than spending hours on your makeup just to have it fade after a few hours. NYX Finishing Spray is a refreshing mist to spritz on after you finish your makeup that leaves it looking flawless for only $8. Available in a matte finish and a dewy finish, your makeup will stay how you applied it from morning to night.


Maybeline The Nudes Collection

You don’t have to spend your entire paycheck to get a mix of matte and shimmer natural eyeshadows-this one costs about $8. The Nudes palettes feature twelve pans in a variety of colors and finishes perfect for a sultry smoky eye or a soft, everyday look. They even come in several variations including The Blushed Nudes, The Rock Nudes, and The 24K Nudes.


Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner

Winged eyeliner pairs perfectly with just about any eye look, but super pigmented formulas can be pricey. Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner offers an easy-to-draw-with tip, a rich, pigmented formula, and a matte finish all for under $6. As if that wasn’t enough, it is also long lasting and does not smudge or fade throughout the day.


Wanting to expand your makeup horizons can be painful to your bank account, but it doesn’t have to be. Sometimes the best products are those that aren’t expensive at all. And when they cost this little, you can afford to try them all.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
