Back to School Beauty Essentials

It's that time of year again when school, college, university or whatever it may be are back! They have ended your beautiful relationship with summer and dragged you back into the routine of early mornings and 'should be' early nights (god damn the internet). I have been at college almost two weeks now and I have discovered what my 'back to school beauty essentials' are.

Firstly, I have repurchased the 'Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation' in True Ivory as on these early autumn morning my face needs a bit of a brighten to say the least. This foundation is usually paired with the idea of a summer glow, yet I believe it is also perfect for this time of year. The light coverage is ideal for school/college as it is subtle yet still covers the nasty bits we don't want the rest of the world to see. The dewy finish provides a glow to your face throughout the whole day, even if you stayed up all night watching YouTube videos like me (oops). 

The next beauty essential is the 'Rimmel Stay Matte Concealer'. I found this at a market stall for £1.99 and decided to give it a go. The coverage is really good and it is true to its name as the areas where I applied it, do 'stay matte' all day. You cannot go wrong for only £1.99.

For a while now, the 'Maybelline Baby Lips' craze has taken over the blogging world. They have been sold in America for ages and I had been anticipating the day they launched in the UK. They have finally arrived and obviously I purchased every single tinted colour. Thank god I did. They are amazing and completely live up to my expectations! All three shades are extremely moisturising and give off a gorgeous coloured tint which lasts throughout the day. These are perfect for school as they are only lightly pigmented yet enhance the natural colour of your lips whilst keeping them moisturised all day.

The next two back to school essentials i have chosen are the 'Soap and Glory Mist You Madly Body Mist' and the 'Urban Fudge Sea Salt Spray'. The S&G mist is a light floral scent that I think is ideal and not too powerful for school/college. It lasts throughout the day, yet if you feel you need to reapply it, S&G sell a 30ml bottle also which will easily fit in your school bag. Finally, the 'Urban Fudge Sea Salt Spray' gives your hair incredible texture and the kind of effortless look that is perfect for school/college. It is extremely quick and easy to use and smells of delicious coconut. Use this in your hair and I guarantee that your friends will compliment it.

I hope this post is helpful to all of you returning or going to school, college or university this September.

Goodbye!✿
