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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
