11 Cosmetics Products Every Girl Needs From The Drug Store

It does the job for less.

Most, if not all of my makeup is from the drug store, and if I'm honest, the only high-end makeup I own was probably a gift. My makeup usage is typically light, which doesn't necessarily require me to invest in high-end products. Don't get me wrong; there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing something at Sephora instead of Target. However, that's not to say you won't find something just as great at your local drug store. Here are eleven cosmetics products I use, that I promise you, you'll love too.

1. Primer 

For the past several months I've been using, Maybelline's Master Prime: Blur and Smooth and can I just say, If you need something to blur and even skin-tone, this is the one.

2. Foundation 

I won't even lie, finding the right foundation at a drug store, is always hard. I've gone through several different brands and can finally say I found the one. Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid Foundation is incredibly light and great for a full-coverage.

3. Concealer 

Concealer saves me every time by hiding my restless baggy eyes. My current favorite pick up is L'Oreal's True Match, Super-Blendable Concealer.

4. Brow Pencil 

The BEST eyebrow pencil I've ever used has to be Elf's Ultra Precise Brow Pencil.

5. Blush 

My daily makeup routine always consist of blush, I've always felt like it gives your cheeks a natural pop. For as longest I can remember I've stayed loyal to Covergirl's Cheekers Blush.

6. Bronzer 

Bronzer is another item in my daily makeup routine. I love applying Covergirl's Cheekers Bronzer for a sun-kissed look.

7. Highlighter 

Highlighter has to be one of my favorite cosmetic products in general. However, I only apply highlighter for a night out/special occasions, but even if there are many options, I've currently keep choosing Milani's Stellar Lights Highlighter Palette.

8. Mascara 

Mascara = Maybelline. A minor bias opinion, but I truly think Maybelline has the best mascaras.

9. Lipstick

I own about a bag full of lipsticks, all from different brands, however, my current favorite lipstick is Rimmel's Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour, in the shade, Fire Starter (the best red lipstick I've ever owned).

10. Setting Spray 

Nyx Setting Spray is the best way to achieve a matte look.

11. Face Mask

The best way to end your day is to refresh your face with a new face mask, I've currently been using L'Oreal's Detox & Brighten Clay Mask, and highly recommend it!

I am definitely not a makeup expert, but I have personally used all these products and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for something new, or something within a budget.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
