When it comes to makeup, I've tried it all (from drugstore brands to fancy custom formulas that cost an arm and a leg). Though high-end makeup gurus might claim that their products are better quality, the cosmetics industry has truly stepped up their game with their drugstore brands - giving larger brands a run for their money! Here are some of my personal favorites I find myself always reaching for, 100% guaranteed to give you high-end results, but at a fraction of the cost.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, $3.29

One of my friends recommended the NYX soft matte lip cream collection to me and I can't get enough of them! The formula is lightweight and creamy, yet very durable and food-proof. The range comes in every shade you could possibly imagine, and they even smell sweet too!

L'Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise, $7.99

For dramatic lashes that won't break the bank! This is the perfect dupe for Benefit's Better Than Sex mascara (they even nailed the packaging too!)

Milani Baked Blush, $6.99

Richly pigmented and highly buildable, this blush adds the perfect amount of sheen for that soft and healthy glow. My favorite shade is Luminosco (I reach for it before my NARS!)

Mario Badescu Rose Face Mist, $7

So you didn't go to Greece this summer, but that doesn't mean you can't fake it! Enriched with nourishing vitamins and antioxidants, this refreshing mist does everything from setting your makeup in the morning to toning your skin at night. Spritz this onto your makeup brush before you apply highlighter to achieve a Hollywood finish glow.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, $6.49

A concealer that will help cancel unwanted imperfections, without looking cakey or dry. From hiding dark circles to pesky little blemishes, Maybelline Fit Me has got you covered.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
