5 Makeup Products That You Need

As a makeup addict, here are the 5 best products I use in my everyday routine

There are my holy grail products that I have used for at least 3 years:

Tarte Shape Tape Concealer

thestyledpress.com

This has been a holy grail of mine since 2016. Though it is a hefty $25, a little goes a long way and one tube has lasted me more than a year. It doesn't crease and the coverage is phenomenal. This is great for when you have dark circles that you want to hide, especially because it lasts all day. I bought 2 of these concealers when Ulta had their 21 days of beauty, in which it was 50% off.

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade

Anastasia Beverly Hills is known for its brow products. This dipbrow pomade is waterproof and lasts all day. However, make sure to use a light hand when filling your brows in. Almost everyone will go overboard when they first use dipbrow pomade, so their brows end up looking too harsh (I know from personal experience). A fine eyebrow brush and a light hand will make your eyebrows fuller, and my jar has lasted me for 2 years with daily use.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

This stuff will give you a natural glow and a natural finish. For me, I dislike too much coverage and this gel cream is perfect for covering my imperfections while not looking too cakey. It doesn't look like you have any foundation on your face, and if you want more coverage, it's easy to layer. The SPF will protect your skin from the sun and you can apply this with your fingers easily.

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara

Though I recommended a lot of high-end products in this article, this mascara has performed better than anything I've ever used. For less than $10, L'Oreal telescopic mascara will make your lashes more voluminous and long while separating them really well. The wand is my absolute favorite because it is thin and so easy to use, and as a girl with short and sparse lashes, this mascara make my lashes pop.

ColourPop Blush Stix

cdn.shopify.com

I absolutely love this stuff. This is perfect and creamy if you want a natural pink tint on your cheeks. Additionally, it is only $6 a stick and lasts for so long. As an Asian, the color "Aloha" gives me some color without looking like I applied blush on. I use my index finger to rub and warm the top and pat it on the apples of my cheeks

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
