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!

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.
