This is a super simple makeup tutorial for those of you who need something simple to do when you are on the run! If you are like me, you probably need to leave the house with a little something on so you do not look like a total zombie! I actually tested this look out when I went on my one-mile run today and luckily nothing smudged off! So, lets get started!

1. First thing first, you should wash and exfoliate your face. I use this face scrub every other day for a good cleanse in the morning. Otherwise, I stick to good old face wash! For this looks' sake, you want to remove any excess oils and dirt.

You can find this awesome scrub at Lush Cosmetics. The online retail price is $21, but you can buy a smaller size for a decent price.


2. Next, I like to use my green tea toner from the Body Shop. It really cleans out the pores and it is really good for those that have red skin spots.

You can find this bad boy at Ulta for just $12.99 and sometimes it is even on sale!


3. While I let that soak in, I like to prime my eye lids with the Urban Decay Primer Potion. This is literally the best thing I have ever owned when it comes to makeup!

You can find this at Ulta for around $12.


4. Next, I apply a good moisturizer. Any will do, but the one below is what I use.


This can be found at any drug store, I usually buy mine from Harmon Discount.


5. Next I like to prime my face with the NYX Photo Primer and then I add my foundation called Stay Matte Not Flat from NYX as well.

The cost for the primer is $12.99, but I would compare it to the Smashbox primer. The foundation costs $7.99 and has the exact same quality as MAC's liquid foundation!


6. For the eye shadow, I like to go in with a taupe-brown. I use the Wet n' Wild in the shade Nutty.

You can find this at any drug store for just under $2. By the way, this is the dupe for MAC's shade in Patina.


7. From the crease to the brow bone I like to use a neutral shade. I use either one that is found in the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

This is such a great palette and it is perfect in size. You can find this in both Ulta and Sephora for $20.

8. Lastly, I apply my favorite mascara from Maybelline in blackest black.

You can find this in Target for under $8. I have been using this one for years!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
