Last Minute Things To Pack For College // eyeliner wings & pretty things

There are so many things you need to pack for college so it’s easy to forget about some of the last-minute sort ofitems. These items aren’t necessarily essentials, but they’re great to have. I use the term “essential” kind of loosely, which, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while you can probably tell. I think a lot of things are essential because I feel as though I need a lot of things, you see.

A few of these items on the list came in my  “Campus Shevival” BabbleBoxx package. Isn’t that a fun play on words? I’m a sucker for cute titles. Hopefully these last minute things to pack for college will help you find a little bit of inspiration and ideas for what to purchase when you’re preparing to head to college!

Quick + Easy Wear To Class Makeup Look // eyeliner wings & pretty things

When it comes to getting ready in the morning, you’ll want to optimize your time by applying the makeup products that’ll make the most impact and make you look most awake. The areas I’ve found make the biggest difference when all made up are: eyebrows, eyelashes and complexion. 

Secondarily, I’ve found that lips and cheeks can also make a huge difference if you’ve got a few extra seconds. Also, I’m totally biased and I know that for the majority liquid liner is not something that takes a minimal amount of time and can be incorporated into a quick morning routine. *Cliche romance novel voice* I’m not like the other girls, I mean, I need to get that wing in every day, after all ya girl’s blog name is eyeliner wings and pretty things.

This quick and easy wear to class makeup look will let you sleep late & look great when you head to class. Yay!

The Ultimate Guide to Joining Clubs in College // eyeliner wings & pretty things
Joining clubs in college is fundamental to getting the entire college experience. I’ve been a member of many clubs, quit a lot of those same clubs, move up the ranks within some and even re-joined others. To sum it all up–joining clubs in college isn’t always that simple.

The truth of the matter is some clubs aren’t really clubs (ie: they don’t hold meetings and you’re not sure what’s  going on) and some clubs just don’t fit into your schedule and sometimes you’re just not as into them as you thought. These tips and suggestions will help you find clubs you love and thrive within them!
