Products that were just sort of disappointing.

Everyone likes to talk about their favorite products, but sometimes it is more helpful to hear about products that didn't work out. This can help you make a more informed and well-rounded decision about what you're buying.

DISCLAIMER: Just because these products didn't work for me, that doesn't mean they won't work for you. Makeup and beauty is a very personal game. Different products work for different people. Please don't be offended if some of these products are your holy grails.

1. Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation

I have given this foundation many chances, but I just didn't love it. It applied very nicely, but by the end of the day my face was extremely shiny and oily. I don't even have oily skin. No amount of powder could contain the oils in this foundation.

2. Too Faced Love Flush Blush

I don't know if this is possible, but these blushes are too pigmented for me. I like a very light blush to just bring some life to your face. These blushes are just way too intense for me. I even tried using a less dense brush and that didn't work.

3. L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara

This mascara is everyone's ride or die, but hear me out. When I first applied it, my lashes looked bomb. They were full and long and looked like I had falsies on. So what's the problem? This mascara is a bitch to remove. When I used a makeup remover wipe to take it off, some of my lashes came out because the product wouldn't budge. Not cool.

4. Benefit Boi-ing Industrial-Strength Concealer

This concealer just doesn't really do it for me. The lightest shade is still too dark for me, and it's extremely thick. I've tried to use it to cover blemishes, and it looked very cake-y. You can tell I'm wearing makeup when I use this product.

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit

Bet you thought I was going to say the Subculture Palette! This glow kit is so different from the others. The other glow kits are finely-milled and give the face a beautiful but natural glow. The Ultimate Glow Kit is chunky, glittery, and not nearly as pigmented. The shades are beautiful, but the glow just isn't there.

6. The Beauty Crop #GRLPWR Liquid Lipstick

I just received this product in a Boxycharm Box, but I already don't like it. It is probably the patchiest liquid lipstick I own. I had to go over my lips many times to get the color to be completely opaque, which then caused some product to build up on the inside of my mouth. It wasn't a cute look, trust me.

7. Winky Lux Uni-Brow Universal Brow Pencil

I've come to the conclusion that a universal brow shade just doesn't exist. This pencil is way too intense for my brows. I would use the lightest hand with it and still end up with very dark brows. If you have light eyebrows, stick to the Benefit brow products in shade 1.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
