From one makeup addict to another, we can all agree that for some reason we thoroughly enjoy buying new makeup to add to our collection. That overwhelming feeling you get when you walk in to a Sephora or Ulta is universally known. Or when you get a gift card and you run to get that new eye shadow pallete or matte lip stick. Sometimes you will literally wait on online queues because the new item (such as the Sweet Peach Pallete) would become sold out in due time. All of us makeup lovers also know we have our favorite brands and products that we can't imagine our makeup routine without.

NYX, Soft Matte Lip Creme

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme is one of my favorite items. I have about four of them and I use them almost everyday. Compared to other liquid lipsticks, the price is affordable at only $6. I've seen liquid lipsticks for as much as $25 or more, and NYX's quality is just as good. The texture is unlike the other liquid lipsticks I own. As advertised, it is more like a cream and has a thicker formula. The colors are diverse and very pigmented, as well. In addition, it stays on for a while and is pretty durable. I would also recommend the NYX Dewey Finish Setting Spray for $8. This is a bargain compared to $30 ones I've seen. NYX is definitely a reliable source for makeup, and has products that are affordable.

Too Faced, Sweet Peach Pallete and Chocolate Bar Pallete

Contrasting with NYX, Too Faced Cosmetics can get expensive. I have both the Sweet Peach Pallate and the Chocolate Bar Pallate. Each were $49. I'm biased, but compared to flakier and cheaper eye shadows, these are worth it. With just one swipe of a brush, you get so much vibrant colors and pigment. They also are long-lasting and will remain bright all day. And the multiple colors lays way to different combinations and looks. Honestly these are great eye shadows, but yes, super super expensive. Too Faced has other products as well that I hope to try out in the future!

Anastasia Beverly Hills, Liquid Lipstick

Like Too Faced, also expensive. I have one of these liquid lipsticks, which was $20. Compared to the NYX lip creme, this is a more expensive, yet a bigger buy. The tube is bigger and the texture is different. I use this one sparingly and only on special occasions because it is more expensive, but the quality is really good. Another product from this brand that I hope to try in the future is their Modern Renaissance eye shadow pallate, which is $42.

Kat Von D, Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

I have two of Kat Von D's lipsticks, one a nude/brown color and the other a dark red. Like Anastasia Beverly Hills, they are $20. The colors I got are not really for an everyday look, so I use them every so often. I love the quality of this lipstick, a little more so than the previous one. Sometimes matte lipsticks can get crusty, but I've never experienced that with Kat Von D. Another product I'm dying to try is the Tattoo Liner, $20, which I've heard positive things about.

Dolly Wink, Liquid Eyeliner

Not a mainstream brand or product, but definitely a must have if you like to do eyeliner. You can order it on Amazon for $17. I have tried both the black and brown, and love both. Through using this eyeliner, I learned to perfect my winged look. The applicator is think and pointy, so it really allows you to have control of your eyeliner.

Urban Decay, Matte Revolution Lipstick

This is one of the only lipsticks I own that isn't liquid. They are $22 and I still use one that I got over a year ago. I have a lot of items on my wish list from Urban Decay, from the Naked 3 Pallate, to the Vice Liquid Lipstick, etc.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
