• Burberry Sepia Pink Lip Cover [In Our Makeup Bag]

    Burberry Sepia Pink Lip Cover [In Our Makeup Bag]

    Burberry is probably my current #1 luxury makeup brand. With every single release, they hit it out of the ball park. Even though the products are a bit of a splurge for most, I promise that they never disappoint! Their Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick is filled with “nourishing oils and gel dispersed pigment [that] ensure intense moisture and long lasting color”.

    Transform Your Dorm Room into a Spa with these Beauty Recipes

    College girls can’t exactly afford weekly spa trips, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need them! Writing papers, catching up on reading and partying on weekends can leave you run down and exhausted.

    Bite Beauty Lip Rouge [In Our Makeup Bag]

    Multi-purpose products always intrigue me. Even though I have hoards of makeup, including more lip color and blush than I could possibly ever use, I couldn’t wait to test out this combo lip/cheek product from Bite.

  • Beauty on a Budget: L’Oreal Magic Souffle Foundation

    Beauty on a Budget: L’Oreal Magic Souffle Foundation

    As they say, variety is the spice of life, so I like to keep several different beauty products on hand and switch it up occasionally. I have been a powder foundation fan for quite some time but I recently found a new foundation to add to my rotation: L’Oreal’s Magic Souffle Foundation.

  • Beauty on a Budget: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Curl Reviver Styling Mousse

    Beauty on a Budget: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Curl Reviver Styling Mousse

    While I love getting dolled up, I’m a total sucker for beauty shortcuts – a cute up-do to cut down on primp time, a tinted moisturizer to get bronzed and moisturized in one step, a quick highlight shadow under your eyebrows to give them better shape when you’re due for a wax. So on days when I just don’t have the time or energy to do my hair, I let it be curly.

  • Beauty on a Budget: St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

    Beauty on a Budget: St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

    Skin exfoliating is pretty much my favorite thing ever. I didn’t think I even needed to do it until my college roommate let me borrow her scrub. My skin was smoother than ever before and when I used my moisturizer, my face looked healthier than it had in a long time. Ever since then, I’ve been using St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub because it’s incredible and costs only about $4.

  • Beauty on a Budget: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

    Beauty on a Budget: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

    Okay, so this may sound like a weird pick for a beauty product column but I 100% swear by Vaseline. For years I’ve been using it for everything to keep my skin and lips moisturized. Especially for lips. I literally put it on every morning and every night before bed, and even before heading out for the night, and haven’t had to worry about chapped lips all winter.

  • Beauty on a Budget: Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk

    Beauty on a Budget: Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk

    Come summer time, the heat does a real number on a gal’s hair and, even though it’ll be months before we need to worry about it, I have to share my ultimate hair styling product, straight out of the drug store. Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk is a godsend for anyone with hair that seems to bounce back to being curly the second you step out the door (like myself).

  • Beauty on a Budget: Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

    Beauty on a Budget: Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

    Although my favorite makeup has always been mascara, a good lip gloss can be the perfect addition to complete your look, especially for a night out. Swiping on some gloss right before heading out instantly makes you look completed and put together. I tend to keep it simple on my lips and go for sheen rather than pigment in a balm or gloss.

  • Beauty on a Budget: Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer

    Beauty on a Budget: Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer

    This budget beauty find is by far one of my biggest obsessions: Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer. Besides the fact that it’s just $8 at drugstores, it is an extremely handy tool for getting ready. It comes in a tube with an easy-to-apply brush, which I use after my foundation to cover up breakout areas or any unnevenness.

  • Beauty on a Budget: Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer

    Beauty on a Budget: Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer

  • Beauty on a Budget: L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

    Beauty on a Budget: L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

    The single most important part of applying makeup, to me, is a pump of volume to your lashes before stepping out the door. So, needless to say, I’ve been through countless tubes of mascara in attempts to find the best brand. While I can say you’ll probably get big results from an expensive cosmetics store brand, one of my favorites is actually from the drugstore.
