6 Beauty Products For Your Summer Self

As the summer approaches and the temperature rises, it's time to do away with the dark eye makeup and deep red lipstick. Now it's time to bring out those natural nudes and light pinks. So here's a guide to six products that will help you achieve your glowing summer look.

1. Estee Edit by Estee in Pearlize Purple or Royal Blue.


These colored eyeliners will brighten up your eyes and make them pop. The "edge" to them allows you to smudge them and make it a little less bold and dramatic. Remember not to go overboard, use it in small amounts and add more accordingly.

2. The Ilia Illuminator


This highlighter is great for accentuating your cheek bones and other facial structures in a way that brightens up your face. It adds a shimmering smear that catches the light and reflects it to illuminate your face and give it that special summer sun-kissed glow.

3. Zac Posen Lipstick for MAC.


This nude pink will show up light and natural, but still add a touch of color. It will also moisturize your lips to get away from those dreary dried out lips. Reapply often and maybe even add a touch of pink liner to the edges to clean it up and add a more dramatic look for an evening out.

4. Buxom's Wildly Whipped lightweight liquid lipstick in Mauve.


Liquid matte lipstick is all the rage right now preceding Kylie Jenner's sold out lip lit. However, this liquid lipstick is super lightweight and the last thing you want on a hot summer day is to feel like your makeup is heavily caked on. Also, Buxom is known for having a plumper in their lip glosses, so why not add a boost to your lips. The Mauve color is light but bright enough to stand out. Definitely not as natural as Zac Posen's, so maybe more a summer night out shade.

5. NARS Laguna Tiare Bronzer.



Let's face it, with work getting in the way, we don't all have time to sit around at the beach all day to achieve that tan summer look. So why not cheat a little and add some bronzer to your highlighter? Not too much, we're not trying to look straight off of Jersey Shore. Just add a little to contour your cheek bones and maybe a little on your jaw or nose.

6. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara


Like its bold title, this mascara will give you bold and voluminous lashes, while still looking natural. Add a light color of eyeshadow and then a little bit of Estee's edge liner. Smudge the liner and the shadow, and finish it off with a little mascara. For a day to night look, keep the mascara in your bag and add another coat of mascara before going out. You can re-apply a little bit of everything to make complete your bold yet natural look.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
