Life in the beauty world can be so hard. There are so many products and techniques, not to mention how pricey it can be. Below are a few tips and tricks to help you survive the beauty world.

1. Heat up your eyeliner

By warming up your eyeliner, it allows for a smoother application. Resulting in instant gel liner.

2. Matte Lipstick

By using a colored powder or translucent powder, you can give your favorite lipstick a matte finish.

3. Tame your brows

This easy hack can tame all those sparse eyebrow hairs. Spray some hairspray on a spoolie brush and comb through your brows.

4. Coconut oil for makeup remover

Coconut oil is a great, all natural way to remove your makeup. It goes on so smoothly and it is gentle on your skin.

5. Baby powder for longer lashes

By dusting on a layer of baby powder, it gives your lashes extra length. By alternating from powder to mascara you can create perfect lashes.

6. Fast drying nails

After painting your nails, place them in a cold bowl of water to speed up the drying process.

7. Matte nail polish

Add a pinch of corn starch to your clear topcoat to get a matte finish.

8. Long live the mascara

When you think that your favorite mascara has seen its last days, think again! Add a few drops of saline to your mascara to bring it back to life.

9. Fix broken eye shadows / other powders

Fixing your broken powder is easy with this tip. Crush the remaining powder up, then add some rubbing alcohol. Finally, press the wet powder down and let it dry. Boom, good as new!

10. Fix oily hair

If you ever run out of dry shampoo just grab some baby powder. It is cheaper and it works just as well.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
