11 Products That Are ALWAYS In My Makeup Bag

Let's get into it

If you're out here pretending like you know how to do makeup, like me, this list of products will be perfect for you. I normally am a huge fan of drugstore and medium price range products and I'm definitely not a brand snob. As long as it gets the job done and I don't mess up while applying the product, I'm happy. Here are my top 11 favorite makeup products I use regularly.

​​1. e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit

This thing is literally only $3 and it works as well as any of the expensive products out there right now.

​2. NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Foundation

I use this as more of a concealer and I carve out my brows with this product.

​3. Benefit POREfessional Matte Primer

I have a love hate relationship with primer, I honestly can't tell if it's doing anything and I hate the feeling when I first put it on my face but I gotta pretend like I know what I'm doing so I'm gonna keep buying it.

​4. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation

This stuff is amazing, it keeps my face looking matte all day and it's medium to full coverage which is exactly what I need.

​5. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Powder

This powder is my fave, it makes sure I don't look all shiny and sweaty and it's perfect for touch ups.

​6. Morphe 35OS and 35OM Eye Shadow Palettes

Zoe Johnson

These are my go to eye shadow palettes, hands down. The colors blend so well and are so creamy, they're all neutral-ish and the palettes themselves are pretty cheap. Sign me up!

​7. Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer

I use this as contour and bronzer because I don't really know what I'm doing and it seems to get the job done! Someday I hope to be able to contour as well as Kim Kardashian.

​8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Glow Kit

This is probably one of my favorite makeup items I own. It's amazing for my pale skin tone and I got it on sale on Black Friday so I'm gonna be really sad when she runs out.

​9. It Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara (Black)

I feel like all mascara really does the same thing no matter the brand but I got this one as a sample and I'm in love ugh.

​10. Kiss Lashes (Shy)

This summer I told myself I was going to figure out how to put on fake eyelashes and I can now say I can kind of do it as long as I have an extra 45 minutes. Until I've got the process down, here's to hoping I have a friend nearby to help.

​11. ULTA Matte Makeup Setting Spray

Ava Silverman

I'm not trying to spend a ton of money on setting spray (mostly because I can't tell if it actually helps) so I'm really glad I've found the ULTA brand setting spray.

Here's to pretending I'm good at makeup, either way, I'm going to keep buying more. I've recently had to get a second make up case to house all my products (oops). Makeup is such a fun way to express yourself and your creativity and you can literally create looks for everything. My next makeup related task is learning how to conquer liquid eyeliner, yikes.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
