Summer has arrived and so have the latest trends in makeup. Basically, it’s going to be hot out and the objective is to not cake makeup onto your face and smother your pores. But, in the midst of summer heat and outdoor activities, the last thing you want is your makeup running down your face. What are the summer looks that will keep you looking and feeling cool? Makeup artist and aspiring designer Jennie Rhee gave me the scoop.

Pastels

Pastels are necessary for the summer. A big trend right now is just one wash of color on the eyelids. It’s easy, there’s no five-step eye shadow process, no smokey eye nonsense, and you can accentuate it with defined eyeliner in the same color. NYX Electro Liners are a new line of retractable eyeliners that come in vibrant shades and are sure to bring that pop of color to your look.

Highlighters

Highlighters are a very up and coming product for the summer. Everyone wants that summer glow to “look like a glazed donut” according to Jennie. The MILK makeup highlighter “Lit” is not only easy to blend but it also lasts longer than powdered highlighters.


Cream blushes

The cream blush concept is pretty much the same argument for a cream highlighter above. If you're going to be sweating all day anyway, you might as well go for a product that will stay on your face.

Juicy lip gloss or lip balm

Go for a more glossy lip look, opposed to a matte one, and definitely aim for a long lasting product. Even a tinted balm with SPF would be acceptable and protect you from UV rays - your lips can get sunburned too! bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in "Hypnotist" gives your lips an iridescent shimmer and contains no synthetic fragrances or dyes.

Glossier's _Generation G lipstick is a sheer balm that is buildable, meaning you can apply one or two swipes for a lighter shade and more coats for a darker, more matte finish.

Multi-functional products

When you’re on the go - at your internship, at the beach, on the road - it helps to have a few products that fill different needs. Jennie recommends the Chosungah 22 “So Tiny” Lip & Cheek Face Color. Reviews of the product declare it matte, non-greasy, long lasting, and easy to use.

A similar product, the Becca Beach Tint, is water-resistant and enriched with vitamin E. Users rate it highly, saying you don’t need to use much to create a natural looking and durable tint. Using a non-powder blush will help you avoid the melting associated with heat and sweat.

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."

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.
