Moments That Hurt Every Makeup Lover's Heart

Makeup lovers: this is for you.

You know how much money you spent on all those products. You watched all the tutorials to learn how to use them. You spend hours seamlessly blending things together. You look in the mirror when you're done and say, "Dang. I did good." (Maybe you don't actually say it, but you're thinking it.)

You know the rush of opening a fresh product and seeing it untouched, perfectly, smoothly pressed into the pan. You know the high of swatching a foiled eyeshadow for the first time. You know the satisfaction of watching your highlight glow in the mirror as you apply it.

But... you also know all the horror of the following scenarios.

1. Dropping your palette/compact

You probably let out an audible gasp. You watch as the product clambers onto the floor and you listen in disgust as it clanks on the carpet/tile.

You pray as you retrieve it off the floor, opening it slowly, one eye closed as you check to see how bad the damage is.

2. Accidentally digging your fingernail/brush handle into the product

Giphy

So much wasted product as you wipe off the remnants. So much. (Probably closer to 1-10 applications--but STILL!)

3. Leaving your lipstick rolled up and putting the cap back on

Giphy

... resulting in lipstick smush at the top of the tube. So sad, because it's a waste of product and no longer is it a pretty lipstick when you put it on.

4. Opening a brand new, online ordered palette and finding that it's shattered.

Giphy

It's not even your fault! And return shipping usually costs money!

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
