A smile is the best makeup any girl can wear- Marilyn Monroe

Here are several tips:

1) If you have bought any makeup products and are not satisfied with them, you can return them. The majority of places will take them back gently used.

2) Be wise while in college about where you buy your makeup. Yes it is your choice to buy your makeup from where you want to, but I advise you to think about it. Reason being is you'll save a lot of money by purchasing makeup at a drug store. For example, CVS or Walgreen.

3) One place where makeup lovers and people who are trying to do new things look for makeup tutorials is on YouTube. Discounts for products can often be found in the description boxes below videos. Some makeup tutorials are given by Denitslava Makeup, Laura Lee, Christen Dominique, Amanda Ensing, Chloe Boucher, Naomi Jonzeck, and many more.

4) Instead of buying several lipsticks, you can explore options by combining two shades. If you don't seem to like a color and wear it add another to it to make it pop.

5) Mascara can be hard to get out when their is clumps of dry mascara. A trick I've learned is to put the whole mascara container in a cup of hot water.

6) Have you ever noticed that mascara wands can sometime have too much product on it? This tends to make lashes look chunky. Here's a tip to help you fix all that.

Also if you just want to clean the wand that is also shown in the video.

7) If you clean the mascara wand like the video shown above you can use the mascara wand to clean some tough to reach places on other makeup products, or for house work, or jewelry.

Baby Wipes

8) Some people think that just because a product says makeup remover, they automatically assume that is what they need. Honestly, you don't always got to use makeup removers like, Neutrogena makeup remover cleansing towelettes. You can use baby wipes or DIY cleansing towelettes.

9) When you apply any types of foundation try not to use a sponge, save money and use a brush. You can easily clean a brush and use it again. Same thing with a sponge but takes longer to clean.

10) There are always makeup bloggers who sell their own line of makeup and tend to do discounts. So you have to keep up with them and see what they have in store for you.

11) If you have a makeup purse and all your products can not fit you can compromise. You can take some lipstick, eye shadow, and depot them into mini containers or in a lipstick, or eye shadow palette. Easier on the go.

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?
