Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you five products I have been loving. Four of them are makeup products and one is a nail polish.

1. The Body Shop Matte It Primer ($15)

This primer actually contains chamomile as well as aloe vera to soothe your skin. A primer helps in reducing the shine on your face as well as helping your foundation last all day.

2. Revlon Lip Butters (around $8)

Revlon kills it when it comes to most products, but they definitely have the lead in the lip product department. These lip butters are beyond amazing. I have tried Crème Brulée, Cupcake, Candy Apple, Lollipop and Strawberry Shortcake and I will honestly say I have not yet been disappointed. This product is pigmented and will leave your lips feeling moisturized. 

Revlon states the following:

- Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156%
- Pampering gel formula provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth

3. Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara ($10)

All I've got to say is this has been kicking my Falsies mascaras butt lately. I loooove it.

4. Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear Nail Color in Plum Punch ($3)

I have been loving this colour for my nails lately. Its a very nice purply plum with a nice shimmer to it. These are great products for so cheap.

5. L'Oréal Infallible Creamy Powder Foundation

I use this a powder to set my foundation. I dust it on with a big kabuki brush and I honestly am in love with this. I initially picked it up to do a makeup challenge and ended up falling in love with it. I have purchased two more since.

This gift guide is great for any teen girl but especially one that is away at college.

1. Owl Hipflask (Urban Outfitters, 19$)
Lets get real, college kids are going to drink weather you like it or not. A cute flask will definitely be a cute gift because you know it will come in handy.

2. iHome Alarm Block for iPod (Target, 50$)
This will definitely be a useful gift because every college kid needs a good alarm clock. Also, this is a great way for them to play their music and therefore you're saving room because it combines two great things.

3. Ruffled Laundry Bag (Urban Outfitters, 29$)
This laundry bag is super adorable and will hopefully make the horrid task of doing laundry a little more fun.

4. Clarisonic & Purity Face Wash (Sephora, 235$ & 20$)
These two gifts combined are definitely every girls skin care dream. The clarisonic, while expensive, is such an amazing gift for someone who likes to take care of their skin. It gets the dirt thats been locked in your face from the day every single time. The Purity face wash is a great add-on because it pairs nicely with the clarisonic and it is a very gentle face wash.

5. Kate Spade NY Cobble Hill Bee Wristlet (Zappos, 79$)
Every college girl needs a lovely wristlet to keep her student id, debit card, spending money and other quick fixes she might need during the day. This one is super cute, comes in a bunch of different colours and will look fabulous.

6. A Cute mug & a Starbucks gift card.
I don't even think I need to describe this gift.

This set, amongst others at Lush is great. Many products which will leave your hostess so refreshed and smitten.

6. French Baguette Candle from Bath & BodyWorks
