Kylie Cosmetics Is The Dupe, Not Colourpop

Now, you may have heard of Kylie Jenner's widely known lipstick brand, Kylie Cosmetics. I love makeup as much as the next person, but I refuse to spend $50 dollars for it, so I didn't bother buying her lipsticks. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of her, and I wasn't all that interested in supplying her with more money from my pocket.

There have been numerous rumors that Kylie's line is exactly similar to the much cheaper brand, Colourpop. The colors may be a little bit off, but when it comes to the quality and colors of the lipsticks and lip liners, they're practically the same exact product.

hanging out with the owners at @colourpopcosmetics we don't have the same formula or exact colors but they are my friends and they do have some bomb ass products that I love. Check them out #KYLIECOSMETICS

If you're anything like me, even spending $60 makes you rethink the entire purchase, so I'm not a huge fan of doing it if it's not needed. So the fact that a celebrity is overcharging practically three times more than a similar product, just because their name is on the front of the box is a bit absurd to me. Now, before people start saying that other celebrities do it as well -- yes, that is very much true. A lot of popular celebrities have their own makeup lines, clothing lines, or really anything that speaks to them. But the main difference is that most of those celebrities have not faced speculation of having something similar to another product that's way cheaper.

A matte-colored lipstick from Colourpop currently runs for $6 (without tax or shipping & handling). But even if you do add in the extra costs, you're looking at $15...At the most. While Kylie's is around $50-$60 with added in tax and shipping & handling. No, thank you. If I want to pay that much money for makeup, I'll head up to Sephora or better yet, MAC, where they actually have amazing products that are sure to be one of a kind.

Sorry, Kylie, but I refuse to put any of my hard earned money in your greedy hands, no matter how many times you say how "high quality" your lipsticks are.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
