Oily skin: it's a blessing and a curse. It's great because when we're older, we won't get wrinkles as fast! But while we're young, we have to deal with the constant shine.

As a makeup enthusiast, I have tried a variety of makeup products. As someone with oily skin, many of them haven't done my skin justice. Before I tell you all what my favorite makeup products for oily skin are, here are some tips I have found.

1. USE PRIMER. Seriously, its a godsend.

2. Only powder your T-Zone (forehead, nose, chin).

3. Use setting spray after applying your foundation.

4. Be very careful with using highlighters, because too much can make you look oily.

5. Oil Blotting Sheets will be your BFF.

Now, without further ado, here are some of the best makeup products that I have found for oily skin.

PRIMER

NYX Studio Perfect Primer (Price: $12.95)

You have three options depending on what you're looking for and for your skin type!

FOUNDATION

I have two of these. The first one I use only on special occasions, the second I use for everyday.

Kat Von D Lock-it Tattoo Foundation (price: $35.00)

Keeps your face matte and shine free for 24 hours!

L'Oreal Pro Matte Foundation (price: $9.89)

A cheaper option, this foundation keeps your face matte all day! (Note: There is also Pro Glow... this foundation makes your skin dewy, which can make your skin look oily).

POWDER

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Matte Powder (price: approx $8)

I've found that this powder is just as good at the "high end" options!

FINISHING SPRAY

NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray (price: $7.99)

This setting spray helps keep your foundation matte and helps keep your face shine free!

So, beautiful people, there you have it. If you're ballin' on a budget like I am, most of these options are relatively inexpensive and work basically just as well as high end brands do.

Remember: makeup is used to enhance your natural beauty and that you don't need it to be beautiful.

xoxo, T

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.
