As much as I love shopping at drugstores and getting great deals on inexpensive makeup products, there are just some things I must splurge on. These products may be on the pricier side, but they are worth every penny and make me look great even after a long day. If you are in the market to try some new amazing makeup from Sephora or Ulta, here are 5 of my holy grail makeup products that I could not live without.

1. Beauty Blender

I truly believe this sponge is responsible for making my foundation and concealer look amazing and natural. It is exclusively sold in stores at Sephora (although it is also sold online), and it is around 20 dollars. This seems like a ridiculous price tag for a sponge, and for a long time I refused to buy it due to the price. However, I tried it once and now I cannot go back to anything else. Nothing blends concealer out the way a Beauty Blender does.

2. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer

Speaking of concealer, the Tarte Shape Tape concealer is hands down the best concealer I have ever tried. Not only is it full-coverage and easy to blend, but it is also lightweight. The best feature of this concealer is that is doesn't get cakey. For some brands, color selection can be a real issue for people with very light or very dark skin tones. However, tarte has 14 different color options and almost anyone will be able to find the perfect shade.

3. Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation

If you thought Tarte Shape Tape concealer had a decent amount of color options, wait until you find out how many color options the Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation has. This foundation comes in 24 different colors ensuring a person with any skin tone and any undertone can find a good match. This foundation is full-coverage and has a beautiful finish. It isn't dewy, so people will oily skin will like it. I have very dry skin, but it does not dry my skin out at all. It dries down on the skin which means that you can get away with not setting this foundation. However, I always set it to make sure it lasts throughout the entire day.

4. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade

Although it seems like most people are obsessed with either the Brow Wiz or the Brow Definer, the Dipbrow Pomade has stolen my heart. I have found that it is easier and quicker to dip a small brush into the pot of brow product and quickly outline and fill them in rather than use a pencil. This product covers the gaps in my brows well and stays put all day long.

5. Bareminerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lip Color

This liquid lipstick is my holy grail, must-be-in-my-purse-at-all-times liquid lipstick.The best part about this product is that it really isn't a matte liquid lipstick at all, even though it says it is in the name. Truthfully, this product is exactly what it sounds like: a lipstick that is in liquid form. It does not dry down completely matte and does not crack off. However, this does mean that it isn't transfer proof and must be reapplied throughout the day. It can be slightly drying, but putting on another coat of the lip product throughout the day will usually fix that. The color stays on the lips for a long time and I just can't get over how easy it is to apply and how comfortable it is to wear throughout the day.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
