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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
