Makeup is art. Makeup is a way of expression. Makeup to me is something I never thought I'd be so obsessed over. I've gone from ameteur to professional in the course of four years. I've learned which products work for me and which don't. I decided to show you all my 5 current favorite products.

1. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

I've tried many foundations in the past few years of wearing makeup and this one is definitely my favorite. It provides the perfect coverage that I desire and it shows up flawlessly on your face. It's a liquidy consistency and the best part is that you can use two and a half pumps and you're good to go. It's definitely a foundation you can build up or wear very little.

I get asked on a daily basis what foundation I use and this is it. My color is Light Beige. My second favorite foundation would be the Urban Decay All Nighter but it has been awhile since I've used it since I'm extremely loyal to the Born This Way Foundation.2. Kat Von D Lock it LeatherWeight Primer

2. Kat Von D Lock it LeatherWeight Primer

Before I put on my foundation this primer from Kat Von D's collection is my ultimate moisturizing primer. I used to use Elf's moisturizer but once I tried this one I never went back. The consistency of the Kat Von D Primer is between thick and light.

You only need a small amount to cover your face. If you are like me with a mixture of both oily skin and dry skin this one is a good one to use. It doesn't make your face sticky and it doesn't over-dry any of your problem areas.

3. Maybelline Aged-Instant Concealer

Just like the Born This Way Foundation, this is another product that I am extremely loyal to--I might never get another concealer again. This concealer is extremely affordable and it's one of the few drugstore makeup concealers that I can say are worth every penny. It adds great coverage and has little to no mess which is definitely a plus for me. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a total mess when it comes to liquids and makeup.

4. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

If you're looking for great lash volume without using fake lashes, this mascara can definitely give those results. I go through so many of these tubes because I have naturally long lashes and I love to add more volume to them on a daily basis. This mascara definitely gives me what I want and more.

5. Makeup Revolution Strobe Highlighter

I have the shade in Holographic Glow and it's amazing. It's 100% what you would expect a holographic glow to be like. It's incredibly pigmented so if you just want to glow without looking harsh, just brush lightly.

But since I love to glow so much it's blinding, it's not a problem for me. I have many highlighters that work just as well but I just purchased this one and I can't stop wearing it. Plus, it retails for $6 so you don't have to break the bank to glow.


These are just of my favorite makeup products that are must-haves for me. If you enjoyed this and want hear more about makeup let me know and I'll definitely write more.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
