Is Kylie Cosmetics Really Worth All The Hype?
kyliecosmetics.com

Kylie Jenner is a 19-year-old socialite who is known mostly from the E! News hit TV show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." While most teens under the Hollywood spotlight spend their days partying and soaking up the fame, Kylie decided to take advantage of her connections, and begin her own brand of cosmetics. Are her cosmetics really as good as people say they are, or are they just loved by her supportive fans? Truthfully: her new brand, Kylie Cosmetics, is slaying the entire makeup game, and her products truly speak for themselves.

Being a Leo, born on August 10, 1997, Kylie decided to bless her fans with a limited edition birthday collection. This collection includes a makeup bag, a new gloss, a set of six mini matte lipsticks, her very first Kyliner in Dark Bronze that comes with a gel liner and a pencil liner, two new creme shadows in Rose Gold and Copper, a new Lip Kit in 'Leo,' and a new shade of her metal liquid lipstick in 'Lord.'

The entire collection dropped today, August 1, at 3 o'clock Pacific. Five minutes into the launch, Kylie announced to her Snapchat followers that over 300,000 people were on her site trying to purchase her new collection. Like all of her new releases, this release sold out in minutes. Thankfully, Kylie is restocking her collection multiple times up until her birthday -- August 10.

You may be asking, "What makes her products so worthwhile?" Honestly, I was skeptical myself when I first heard that she came out with her own line of makeup. I thought that the products were just hyped up, and that they weren't truly worth all the recognition. After seeing a few of my dear friends buy -- I am not exaggerating -- every single shade of her matte liquid lipsticks, I knew something was up. I can truthfully say that I was wrong, and that I am on the Kylie Cosmetics train.

Her birthday collection is literally infused with real gold, and it was everything everyone was hoping for and more. One complaint is that infusing her products with real gold made the collection more expensive, but honestly, I believe that the collection is at a fair price. Not only that, but every other product she has come out with is extremely reasonable for being a high-end cosmetic. $20 for a perfect creme eye shadow? Sign me up. $17 for the perfect matte lip? Don't mind if I do.

Besides coming out with a collection that quite literally gave her fans cardiac arrest when it was showed in a sneak peek, Kylie has released multiple other products that have completely changed the world's makeup game. For example, liquid lipsticks have been a huge trend lately, but Kylie set the bar so much higher for other cosmetic companies when she launched her first Lip Kit in November 2015. Everyone was so excited that the Lip Kit sold out within the first minute of the premiere.

Since then, other makeup companies have been working hard to develop a formula for matte liquid lipsticks that can match how wonderful Kylie's is. Her matte liquid lipsticks go on smooth, and dries to a powdery finish. They have 25 percent pigment, so the colors truly pop and they literally last all day. Not only that, but most shades of her liquid lipsticks have a lip liner to match. Your lip game will forever be on point with these two products. Even her new eyeshadow palette, KyShadow, is being raved about by well-respected beauty gurus like Jaclyn Hill. I'm telling you, everyone is raving.

Let's all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful her packaging is.

Bonus: Kylie Cosmetics is a Cruelty-Free makeup brand.

Double Bonus: All of the Kylie Lip Kits, excluding Posie K, are vegan!

All in all, Kylie Jenner is slaying the makeup game. Major props to Kylie for working hard, and establishing her own business at the age of 19. No one can question her fame after trying out her products. So, is Kylie Cosmetics worth the hype? Yes. It's worth the hype, and then some.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
