Best Makeup Dupes

We all know the feeling of wanting some new makeup, it's like when we walk past Sephora it is just calling your name. We also know the pain of finding a product in Sephora that you love and then looking a the price and want to start crying, because it's just not fair.

After spending too much money on makeup that I really can't afford, I thought to myself that there had to be some good dupe makeup brand out there. So I went to my computer and started looking up cheap makeup brands that had excellent reviews. The amount of dupe products that I found will actually blow your mind, you will never want to buy designer makeup again.

1. Primer

This product actually blew my mind, here I had been spending almost $40 for a Smashbox Primer! Once I did some research I found this amazing NYX Primer that did the exact same thing. You can get the NYX Primer for just $13 at any Ulta, Target or Walmart!

2. Lip Stick

Everyone is obsessed with the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits, but if you don't want to drop $30 on a lipstick then ColourPop is the place for you. If you love the shade Exposed then get the dupe from ColourPop in Echo Park. ColourPop lasts all day and the shades are to die for!

3. Foundation

I used to live by Make Up For Ever's Ultra HD Stick Foundation, I think it has some of the best coverage I have ever seen. Once I found this dupe my life was forever changed. The Stick Foundation and the Liquid Foundation are basically the same thing so once I found the Revlon Photo Ready Airbrush Foundation it was life changing. Instead of paying $43 for the Make Up For Ever Foundation you can pay $13!

4. Contour Kit


I am very guilty of buying the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, but who can blame me when it's just so beautiful! But $40 is a little too expensive for my preference, so when I found the NYX Contour Kit is just as good! It comes with so many different shades it's perfect for any skin tone!

5. Highlight

Personally, I believe that ColourPop has created the best dupes of all times when it comes to makeup. I have been dying to get the BECCA Highlighter in Opal forever, but I finally came across a ColourPop Highlighter in Wisp that's exactly the same! The BECCA Highlighter is 30 dollars more than the ColourPop one, which is only $8!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
