The 5 Highlighters You Didn't Know You Needed Until Now
Sephora

Highlight is my favorite type of makeup, and it shows when you look at my makeup desk. Highlight makes your makeup look more like skin, a dewy glowy sheen is what you're looking for on a daily basis, and glowing to heaven is what you're going for on your more dramatic going out looks. While I have tried many, I do have a top 5 and here they are!! (Click the photos for a link to the product!!)

1. Star Crushed Minerals Starbright Highlighter in Birthday Suit

I love this highlighter with a passion for two reasons. One because you can make your face shine to the heavens and you can also make a soft subtle slightly glittery glow.It's best applied with a slightly fluffy brush on the cheekbones! Pro tip: the best way to make this pop is to put a cream or liquid highlighter and or moisturizer under it!

2. Benefit Watts Up! Highlighter


Watts Up is such a beautiful highlighter for fair skin, I got it in my Sephora Play! bag and the mini size is actually so good I'm so excited about it. It is best applied straight to the skin and then blended out with the fingers. Pro tip: if you have the mini size, it's the perfect inner eye corner highlight and if you get the larger version applying to the inner corner would be very easy with your pinky!!

3. Josie Maran Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm

This is the perfect highlighter for you "No makeup makeup look" its very very light on the skin, moisturizing, and has almost no color. It is best applied with the fingers and blended into the skin on the cheekbones, nose, inner corner and anywhere else you'd like a subtle glow. Pro tip: Its perfect for putting under a powder highlighter use it under the Starbright Highlighter its amazing!!!) or wearing alone for a very subtle highlight!!

4. Benefit Dandelion Twinkle Highlighting Powder


I actually use Benefit's Dandelion Twinkle as an all over highlighting powder to set all of my makeup in. It gives off an amazing sheen to the skin, just like you aren't even wearing makeup. It can also be used as a traditional highlight. It can be applied best with a large fluffy powder blush as a finishing powder or with the brush provided or a fan brush as a traditional highlight. Pro tip: I firmly believe this is a dupe for the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders, if someone gets both and tries them out, let me know if you think so @risssky on twitter!!

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit

I love my glow kit. but I actually have one that was limited edition and no longer sold. The Anastasia Glow Kits are pigmented but creamy powders that glide on the skin like silk as they light up your face. All of the kits have a color for every skin tone, even the ones that look darker can look amazing on light skin and vice versa. Use a fan brush to apply them to get a low shine, glossy look and a more dense flat brush to pack on the glow.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
