12 Makeup Products to Always Keep Handy
Beauty Look Book

Confidence and how comfortable you're in your own skin is what will make you look beautiful but if you're looking for a little "oomh" then try keep these makeup essentials handy.

1. Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer

This primer is truly amazing for all skin types, especially my dry skin girls! (Take it from me.) It's a bit pricey but trust me there's nothing better than this, no drugstore primer compares that's for sure!

2. Milani Conceal + Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation + Concealer


This is the best FULL coverage matte foundation at the drugstore. I can always count on this to last hours upon hours. If you haven't gotten your hands on this foundation, GET IT! 'Nuf said.

3. Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer


It took me months before I could get my hands on this beauty. Honestly, definitely worth the hype! This concealer is full coverage and it doesn't crease, seriously what more can you ask for in a concealer?

4. Coty Airspun Loose Powder in Shade Translucent

Hate the smell but this powder is perfect for baking the under eye area. Best drugstore loose powder!

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz


Can't forget to the brows! This is was the best in town before the Brow Definer (also by ABH) came to town, but despite what the beauty gurus say I personally love the Wiz better.

7. Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer

This is honestly an OG. I remember my mom using this bronzer when I was teen and now it's my go to bronzer. You will never have a muddy looking contour with this bronzer.

8. Pixi by Petra Beauty Blush Duo + Kabuki in Shade Rose Gold

This is aaaaa-mazingggg and it's 2 for 1, can't beat that! This is technically a blush but if you use the kabuki brush (comes with the kit) and swirl both the highlight and the blush together you'll get this absolutely stunning glow! The beautiful glow this give the cheeks is to die for!

9. Ciate Fierce Flicks Liquid Eyeliner


I have found this eyeliner pen to make creating a winged eyeliner absolutely easy! Normally with felt tip eyeliners the product comes out spotty but the formula is perfect that it glides on like a dream, literally you just flick and boom, perfect wing!

10. Benefit Roller Lash Mascara


Blackest of the blackest. Holds a curl. Extends lashes and it doesn't clump up. Look no further, ride or die, must have mascara right here.

11. Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks

Doesn't matter what shade you choose but it's all about the formula. I know I can trust this formula to not budge throughout the night. I won't be self conscious about it smearing on my face or it cracking and looking crusty, because it's the best formula around. It's also not drying!

12. Urban Decay All nighter Setting Spray

This is a cult favorite! Everyone and their momma talks about this product. This is a must because this will help your makeup last all day! No point of having a beat face if you'll only be wearing it for a few hours before it starts to melt off.

Keep these gems handy in your makeup bag, they have saved me a couple of times from spontaneous, spur of the moment outings. You never catch me off guard.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
