6 Drugstore Makeup Products Everyone Needs

Being a makeup addict can become a bit pricey but, if you really look into makeup reviews, you may find that some "drugstore" products are preferred over "high end" products. I have quite a large makeup collection, it's actually really hard to decide what I want to bring with me to college. Over the years I have tried multiple high end and multiple drugstore products. I have put together a list of inexpensive yet high quality products everyone should try!

1. Morphe Palettes.

You may have seen this beautifully stunning palette before. This is the famous 35O from Morphe. I have this palette and it is absolutely stunning, the pigmentation is insane. The palette is only $22.99 it's incrediably affordable and any makeup lover should own a Morphe palette.

2. Wet N Wild Brushes.

Wet N Wild brushes live up to their hype. They are so cheap, at first I was hesitant to purchase one because I didn't know how well the quality would be for such a low price. They lived up to my expectations and I love them just as much as I love my high end brushes.


3. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation.

I have oily skin, like really oily, as if there was an oil spill on my face. The Maybelline Fit me! Matte + Poreless foundation is my holy grail. I also have the dewy smooth one which, doesn't make sense for me to have because of how oily I am but, they're both AMAZING. They last for hours, they're very light on the skin, and they don't appear cakey. I pick this foundation up way more than my Tarte foundations.


4. Maybelline Face Studio Master Fix Setting Loose Powder.

Clearly I favor Maybelline products, Maybelline is hands down my favorite drugstore makeup brand EVER. Before I had any high end products, all I bought was Maybelline. This loose powder is another product I pick over a Tarte product.


5. Nyx Matte Setting Spray.

Let's be honest, the Urban Decay setting spray is AMAZING but so pricey. Nyx has a matte finish setting spray OR a dewy finish setting spray. Way more affordable than Urban Decay.


6. Colourpop Matte Lipsticks.

Colourpop Matte Lipsticks live up to their hype. I believe they are made in the same exact factory as Kylie Jenner's lipsticks. A lot of youtube beauty guru's said the formulas are almost identical, even the packaging is identical. Colourpop lipsticks are only $6, making them way cheaper than Kylie's lipsticks. You also have a larger range of color selections with Colourpop as well. You'll be able to find some dupes of Kylie's on their websites! 10/10 recommend. I love their satin ones too!

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.
