Why I Fell In Love With Makeup

I mean who doesn't love make up?? There's all these pretty brushes, eye-shadow palettes, and lipsticks!

Look at how pretty these colors are:


And how soft these makeup brushes look:


I mean come on doesn't that look like just a bunch of fluffiness on your face??

But besides them looking pretty and being soft I love makeup because I love the way it lets me express myself. It makes me happy how one day when I'm feeling sassy I can do an intense make up look, and the next day when I'm feeling cute and flirty I can do a more simple look.

I really started getting into make up when I was in middle school, and oh let me tell you it was not pretty!! Lord I didn't know what in the world was going on. Back then they really didn't have Youtube videos to show you how it's really supposed to be done.

But when I was in 5th grade i think, my grandmother gave me this small Lancome pallete. Which had a bronzer in it (which i thought was foundation and put it all over my face) and a blush and some eyeshadows. and i didn't know how to use any of it. I put the bronxer all over my face and i swear i looked like a burnt orange. But looking back at it, it was hilarious.

A lot of people don't actually know i really enjoy watching and doing make up. Sometimes i can be really shy and this right here is breaking out of my comfort zone and I'm really excited to share my opinion on make up and certainly a lot of other stuff!

Here is some of my favorite make up looks


this is one of my FAVS because its just really simple and its more of a natural "no make up kind of look."


Also i LOVE LOVE this one because fall is here and this is more of a fall look and this look has such a bold lip which i just love to death. (Also she is one of my favorite You-tubers laura88lee.)

You can do so many things with make up, not just wearing it everyday and on your face.People can do Halloween costumes with make up or use it on their body. A lot of people like it because you can do special effects with make up. They can create bruises and blood and broken bones, etc.

But i just love it because its just one of those things that's never is going to go away or leave or go out of popularity. They're always coming out with new stuff to put on your face like highlighters and contouring and a billion other things.

There's also a new color coming out in almost anything. There isn't' one shade of lipstick the exact same as another one ever. They can be very similar but not the same. That's why i love it is because there is never the one thing same as the other, an example would be lipsticks. You have pinks, reds, browns, purples, muaves, and they're all not going to be all the same color within their own color. I just think that it's just amazing.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
