I shed a tear every single time a makeup guru on YouTube pulls out 6 mac lipsticks in a makeup haul video. So, since not all of us receive freebies from cosmetic company's because we're internet famous, I've created a guide for the saavy shopping saver.

1. Highlight

One of the top highlights in the market is the Benefit High Beam Highlight. Personally I've tried this product and I have to admit it is pretty amazing, however, I'm not really willing to drop $26 every single time I run out of the bottle. For a cheap switch with similar quality, I've found the NYX Born to Glow Illuminator ($6) holds the same effect as the high end version.

2. Blush

For everyone engulfed in the cosmetic world, we all know that the NARS Orgasm Blush holds to be our saving grace. In all honesty, if I didn't have to spend what seems to be a million dollars on textbooks every semester for school, I wouldn't mind the price. But, guys listen, the Milani Baked Blush is a carbon copy of NARS Orgasm and other NARS blushes. And, they're only $7!!!! Milani however, is a little more pigmented so I'd be careful when applying otherwise you just look like this guy:

3. Lips

No explanation will do this lip product any justice. All you need to know is that I witnessed my friend devour an entire bowl of CAVA whilst wearing this and it was still completely in tact after the fact.

4. Mascara

I've personally never tried fake lashes, but I've never had to because I found that if you just play around with different mascaras you can usually find a fit for you. For me, my personal favorite is The Collosal Volume Express Mascara by Maybelline. I've dabbled in different drug store mascaras but I always find myself coming back to this one.


Now go, my aspiring Michelle Phans, into the world and explore your best match.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
