Barnes & Noble College: Bringing The Makeup To You

Maybe it’s not Maybelline; maybe you were born with it.

Barnes & Noble College: Bringing The Makeup To You
Barnes & Noble College

Picture this: It’s the morning, you’re getting ready for the day, and you open up your holy grail of a makeup bag. You run through your normal routine—but what’s this? You're running out of your Smashbox brow pencil?

You feel the walls start to cave in, and you swear the sky is going to fall if you walk out of your dorm eyebrow-less. How the heck are you supposed to slay the day away without your trademark eyebrows? (Note: This is an actual struggle of mine and others out there who were not blessed with naturally great brows).

The nearest makeup store that sells your product is 30 minutes away, and there is no way you’ll be able to trek all the way there by tomorrow. Oh, if only they could conveniently sell makeup on campus!

Luckily, Barnes & Noble College is launching a new on-campus beauty concept called The Glossary, which basically brings a small section of cosmetics to college campuses nationwide, making it easier for a quick makeup haul at any moment of the day. Getting a new lip color to match your new dress, hiding your ugly nails with a new nail polish color, or changing your day look to something more for a night out with the gals will be as easy as getting textbooks. Treating yourself to the newest makeup palette can be done in the luxury of your college bookstore, but with an environment like Sephora.

In fact, it would be like having an Ulta or even a Sephora right on campus. The Glossary would be selling high end to drugstore brands, ranging from Smashbox to Covergirl to L'oreal.

Even if you aren’t big on makeup, you’ll still fully benefit from The Glossary on campus. You’ll be able to treat yourself and unwind after a stressful day by taking a nice bubble bath when you buy some nice smelling bubble baths from Philosophy, which they carry at The Glossary. Or if you prefer something more organic, Burt’s Bees will also be made available.

Currently, The Glossary is set up at four colleges, including Emory University, Southern Methodist University, Tulane University, and the College of William & Mary. Barnes & Noble College intends on expanding The Glossary to more campuses nationwide, so fingers crossed that Southern Oregon University is in their plans!

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.

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.
