Makeup and I have a love-hate relationship. I love doing my makeup, but I hate wearing makeup. It is just too heavy and makes me feel like I need to power wash my face about one hour in. So, if you’re like me, I have a few makeup products to share that don’t make me feel like there’s paint on my face.

First, bareMinerals BarePro liquid foundation. This stuff is a lifesaver. It is light, but has such great coverage! It’s $34, but a little goes a long way…so I think it’s worth it. Plus, it lasts all day (and night) long. I use shade “light natural.”

Second, Hourglass Cosmetics Vanish Airbrush Concealer. The stress of college has really brought out my dark under eye circles and acne, but this concealer handles it like a pro! It too is $34, but again a little goes a long way and I swear by this concealer. I use shade “creme.”

Finally, Burt’s Bees lip shimmer. This stuff rocks. It’s basically chapstick that leaves my lips looking and feeling good! The best part is…it’s $5. I use shade “peony.”

One last thing, all of these products are cruelty free…*happy dance*!!!

Hello! My name is Emma. I am a student at Pepperdine University and I am studying Philosophy with the hopes of obtaining my MFT license after I graduate in 2021. I was born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Waco, Texas. That being said, I am avid supporter of Baylor sports and TexMex! I believe mental health is the most important thing to maintain in college. Some ways that I maintain mine include (but are not limited to) boxing, Disney, and beach days with my friends out here in Malibu!

This is my senior year of college and I'm a Public Relations major with a Creative Writing outside concentration. I was born and raised in So-Cal and love it so much I couldn't go too far. As much as South California is my home, I adore traveling and learning about other cultures. A Disney fan to the core you can find me watching any of their movies, or breaking my bank account at Disneyland, and if not I'll probably be reading, writing, or enjoying the Malibu climate.
