Makeup is remarkable. With a few minutes added to your daily routine, you can alter your appearance temporarily and increase confidence. Some of us wear no makeup at all, while some of us like to collect designer makeup.

In college, there are few funds to spare with tuition, rent, and groceries. Below is your guide to drugstore makeup. The products can be found at stores such as Amazon, Target, Walgreens, and CVS. The demands the product had to meet to be listed are as follows: being affordable, being high-quality, having drug store availability, and not being tested on animals.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel.

What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
