I Went to Morphe's Store

And here's how I review my purchases

I Went to Morphe's Store

A brand made famous by YouTubers and instagram influencers, has a permanent store at the Water Tower Place in Chicago. Being skeptical about online make up purchasing (namely for skin tone and product pigmentation issues), I had never tried the brand myself - but I was no stranger to it. Even the most novice Beauty Guru follower (not unlike myself) would have to be living under a rock to have never heard the brand's name or their reputations - particularly with brushes and eyeshadow pallets.

My first thought upon entering the store - after getting greeted and being told about Christmas Eve sales, was pure shock for how cheap the products were! I was in the mall on Christmas Eve to buy concealer as I was running low, and was actually on the way up to Sephora to restock on my trusty Naked Skin by Urban Decay, but I saw the Morphe store instead. Very strategic placement, on their part. In here, concealers only cost $9!

A make up artist helped me match my skin tone and showed me the effects of various undertones on my skin. After purchasing, and now using the product, I can say that it has the same consistency as the Naked Skin, perhaps even more full of a coverage. However, I felt as if the Naked Skin blended into my skin tone a little easier, achieving a more natural finish. In addition, this one has a matte finish that I'm still getting accustomed to, but think looks great nonetheless.

I also bought their famous Continuous Setting Spray, under an awesome deal - 2 for $22. I can already tell I'm going to love it as it leaves the faintest of mists - my guilty pleasure is going overboard, being consumed by the hydrating feeling of a good setting spray. Since this one is so faint, yet refreshing I for see myself using it quite liberally.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
