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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
