I love experimenting with various beauty products from different brands, both high end and from the drug store. Experimenting helps me determine what I should spend my money on and what I shouldn't. I thought I would share my favorite beauty products in the month of March and give a short review about them. I hope everyone enjoys this beauty review and hopefully you guys will go out and by these products as well.

1. The Masquerade Palette by Juvia's Place

This palette retails for $35, but if you want to save some money you can get the mini version of the palette for $25. This palette is amazing because of its high pigment shadows and the various colors in the palette; allowing for a balance of bolds and neutrals. This palette can be used to make very bright eye looks, smokey eye looks, and everyday basic eye looks. There are a total of 16 shadows in the palette and each shade is inspired by African Festivities filled with enormous joy and spiritual activities. The bold colors represent costumes used in festivals, while the nude and browns represent the African soil and environments.

Row 1 (L to R): Chi, Mali, Dalia, Zola Row 2 (L to R): Makeda, Zobo, Calabar, Bori

Row 3 (L to R): Giza, Burkina, Cairo, Ada Row 4 (L to R): Dahia, Zulu, Casabianca, Fulani

2. L.A. Girl Pro Coverage Foundation

This foundation retails for $10 and offers various shades for every skin tone. This foundation is amazing because it is a full coverage foundation, it lasts for most of the day, and it's an illuminating foundation; which allows for your skin to have a natural glow.

3. NARS Blush

This blush retails for $30, but if you want to save a little bit of money on the product you can become a member of the Sephora rewards program which will give you discounts on various products in the store. There are 26 shades in this blush collection, which means there is a color for everyone and they all have a shimmer finish. My favorite blush shade is Goulue and it is a warm berry shade with gold shimmer.

4. Benefit They're Real Mascara

This mascara retails for $24 and is one out of many Benefit mascara products. This is my most used mascara because it provides length and volume to your lashes while still making them look natural.

5. Wet N Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick

This matte lipstick retails for $4.99 and offers 13 different shades of lipstick ranging from nudes to vampire reds. The reason I love this lipstick is because it is long lasting, it doesn't transfer on other surfaces, and its very smooth when applying it on the lips. My favorite shade is Give Me Mocha, which is the 6th shade of nudes and the reason I love this shade is because it's the perfect nude for my skin tone and it's a dark nude.

I hope you guys enjoyed this article and that you will purchase one or all of these products mentioned in my monthly beauty favorites.

18 Signs You Might Have RBF

I'm fine. This is my natural face.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

I'm fine. This is my natural face.

1. Strangers have told you "Smile!" on regular occasions

2. The first thing people say to you is "Are you okay?"

3. Dates have texted you asking if they bored you

4. Or, they tell you they don't want to go out again because you didn't seem interested

5. People question your level of comfort in any given situation

6. Friends have said, "When I first met you, I thought you didn't like me." and were totally serious about it

7. Jokes don't land well because people can't tell if you're serious or not

8. You've been told customer service isn't for you because you never smile

9. In fact, in your yearly review, your manager always writes to smile more under "room for improvement"

10. You hate when people have their cameras out taking candids

11. Even when you smile for a photograph it looks like either A) you're trying too hard or B) you're the Mona Lisa

12. Things can even get a little awkward when you smile

13. You regularly are told "I'm never sure how you feel about things"

14. You've scared strangers on the train/bus/sidewalk with your death glares-- even though they're unintentional and you're not really looking at them

15. Christmas and birthdays are hard because you have to figure out how to look like you're pleased with all your gifts even when you are

16. People frequently tell you you're intimidating

17. Friends stop inviting you to things because they think you don't like going

18. Your parents have RBF (it's definitely genetic. Thanks, Mom).

No matter how old you are.

1. Build a snowman

2. Start a snowball fight

3. Build a fort

4. Binge-watch Netflix

4. Look out the window

5. Grab coffee with a friend

6. Complete school or office work

7. Sleep

8. Read a book

9. Bake cookies

10. Drink hot cocoa

11. Go ice skating

12. Take a Walk

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day
