Makeup products that not only help you save money but make you look fabulous, too!


1. Elf Poreless Putty Primer

Personally, I have tried what seems like a million products when it comes to face primers. My biggest problem is that my makeup never lasts, and I suddenly have break outs from using products that clog my pores. However, Elf's Poreless Putty Primer is amazing and was honestly revolutionary for my skin and makeup routine. The product itself does not have much of a scent and leaves your skin feeling light and hydrated. This product keeps makeup on all day and is great for all skin types. In my opinion, it is comparable to the Tatcha Face Primer but only costs $8.00 at your local convenience store. This is definitely a product worth trying!


2. ALMAY Smart Shade Skintone Matching Makeup

Finding the right foundation, like face primer, has always been a struggle for me. I tried many higher-end brands and would come up with the same result: makeup separation. It was very frustrating always going to Sephora or Ulta Beauty thinking I had finally found the right foundation just for it not to work again. But luckily, I found a great, inexpensive solution. ALMAY Smart Shade has six basic categories of skin tones and undertones and even has SPF 15. The great thing about this product is that it adjusts to your skin tone once you blend it in, giving you that fresh, flawless look. This is a perfect product for an everyday makeup look, and it only costs $9.99. Say bye bye to makeup separation!


3. L'OREAL Voluminous Original Mascara

If you are looking for that "dramatic falsies" look, or just an every day mascara, you NEED this product. The L'OREAL Voluminous Original Mascara (in blackest black) is my go-to mascara. I love this product because it leaves your lashes feeling soft without the flaking and clumping seen in a lot of other mascaras. The application wand is just the right size and easy to use. The mascara lasts all day, even through the hot weather. It is buildable and great for creating whatever type of makeup look you are going for. This mascara is worth the try and only costs $6.74. Hello beautiful lashes!

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.
