If you're anything like me, you love makeup. You also can't afford to cash out on certain products from time to time. So I've compiled a list of a few of my favorite makeup dupes for people like us who still want that glo without the price.

1. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($29)

Dupe: Maybelline Fit Me Concealer ($6.49)

I swore by the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for the longest time, until my friend suggested I try Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer. I was hesitant at first because I hadn't bought drugstore makeup since I was a freshman in high school. I had grown accustomed to buying the Radiant Creamy Concealer with the Sheer Glow Foundation and together they cost a total of $74. So I figured $7 is nothing compared to that, why not give it a chance? I wasn't really expecting much out of this product, but now I actually prefer using Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer over NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer daily. The NARS concealer is thicker and provides more coverage, but the Maybelline formula is creamier and blends more easily. I would also run out of the NARS concealer super quick compared to Maybelline's concealer (probably due to Maybelline's concealer being "wetter"). The huge price difference is an added bonus and the packaging for both concealers is very similar, as well.

2. Kylie Lip Kit in Dolce K ($29)

Dupe: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes ($6)

Why buy overpriced lipsticks and lipliners from someone who didn't even have lips until a year ago? You can find better quality lipsticks from credible makeup gurus for a more affordable price. But, if you want the cheapest and best dupe for Dolce K, definitely try the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes. You can also try ColourPop's Limbo as a dupe for True Brown K and these as dupes for Candy K.

3. NARS Blush in Orgasm ($23)

Dupe: Sleek Blush in Rose Gold ($6.99)

The NARS Orgasm blush is a cult classic. But $23 might be a little too much considering the vast majority of dupes available for it. Sleek Blush in Rose Gold comes close to Orgasm's color with a slightly more gold shimmer and less than half of the price.

4. MAC Nylon Eyeshadow ($16)

Dupe: NYX Barely There Eyeshadow ($4)

Perfect to use as a highlighter too!

5. Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette ($50)

Dupe: CoverGirl Roses TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette ($9.49)

This is a spot-on dupe. The only difference between the two palettes is that you get 12 colors to choose from in the Naked 3 palette compared to eight in the CoverGirl palette.

Get your coins worth.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
