I'll be honest. I am a little sad that I am not going back to school this year. Not because I'll be missing the tests, assignments and projects.

Unfortunately for me, only in my dreams would my makeup bag be filled to the brim with the most expensive and high end products a girl could ever want. And I am guessing most people are in the same boat as I.
