The 5 Beauty Products You Are Missing In Your Life

On a daily basis, I am a relatively simple girl. But it is a tough day that you will find me without the bare minimum products on. Today, I will tell you my five beauty products I would grab if the world was ending. Each of them has been in my life for so long, these spots are well earned.

5. It's a 10

A quote from my mom on damaged hair is that it's "fried, dried and laid to the side." Damage can be caused by any heating tools we use along with color treatment. Since I personally use heat and color on my hair, I must use an awesome conditioning treatment in order to save the quality of my hair. It's a 10 has 10 different claims of keeping your hair strong and beautiful. I just use a small drop of the deep conditioner while in the shower leave it in for about 4 minuets and poof! Hair that is manageable and strong.

4. NYX Cosmetics Lipstick


#NYXCOSMETICS Lipstick is a perfect quick product to step up your face from "I just woke up" to "glamazon." After trying millions of lipsticks, Nyx Cosmetics Matte is my go-to. They have multiple lines of lip wear and I will say the soft matte cream is also amazing. But for a daytime look that needs to look like you spent time getting ready today, the Shade Tea Rose is your girl. I have used it for multiple bridesmaids to give them a perfect finished look. And you can find NYX in so many stores like everyone's favorite, Target, for around $6. What else could you ask for?

3. Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Face Primer


No one want's to have huge pores, but for those of us who were left with pores you can see, there is a primer that will help minimize the pores we have and serve as a base for our foundation. Additionally, from being able to minimize pores, this wonderful primer is also oil-free, which is great because I also have oily skin, as well. After trial and error with many primers, this is my number one. The great thing is you can get the super small tester size at Ulta if you don't believe me and want to try before you commit $30 for a full size.

2. Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara

This countdown is based on products you would want in your bag for days when you don't have all day to keep applying coats and coats of mascara to get your lashes to look beautiful and full. The Lash Paint Mascara is awesome for one or two coats — you will have lashes set and ready to go. I will warn you, it is a fairly wet formula, so be careful to let it dry so you don't get it on your eyelids. Ultimately Tarte did an awesome job at getting you instant lashes.

Tip on mascara: Always purchase the trial size because you should be throwing away your mascara within three months regardless of how often you use it. Once you use it the first time, your clock starts.

And my number one "ride or die" beauty product is...

1. Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation

At this point, we have started to discuss all my personal skin issues, which I could go on for days about. But knowing I personally love all these products for the fact that I want to keep break outs away, I have discolored skin that changes daily along with oil coming out of my huge pores, you know why I love this product. This foundation offers coverage of all my issues. There are 11 shades you can be color matched for at Ulta, so don't worry! I love that I can apply my foundation without a mirror on the go and touch up later and never worry about the shade not matching my skin.

I hope you try one of these products and it becomes you favorite as well. I know I have talked up each of these products to all my friends. If you have already tried a product share this and let everyone know which you already love.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
