It's that time of the year again. The time when everyone is rushing trough stores to buy everything for the upcoming school year. And for girls, this means big shopping spree, but problem is that there is always something you forget. Before I continue I just want to say, that school should always come first, but that doesn't mean you can't look great while you nail these tests and quizzes.
For many girls beauty and fashion are very important, but most spend their money on stuff that they don't really need. Like tons of different creams and lip glosses.. So I'm going to give you a list of the beauty products you'll need:
- Cleanser - You'll need that twice a day, so you better really take your time in choosing one. For oily skin, use gel cleansers, they are the best because they take the oil out and reduce it's production during the day, plus they are not too strong to cause any redness. For dry skin, use cream ones they will clean your skin and hydrate it too.
- Two creams. One for the morning and one for the evening. The one you get for the morning should have an SPF factor, and it should be suitable for a base for make up (if you wear any). The night cream should be hydrating, (I use milk and honey cream, it's great).
- A good foundation (if you use any). Most girls have a problem finding a suitable color. Best way to do that is to apply a bit on your jaw and go out in the sun light, let it dry for a few seconds, it's good if it's invisible on your skin.
- Eye make-up. I’m a huge fan of natural beauty in summer, but I like bringing in richer colors in the fall. Jewel and berry colors are fantastic for eye shadow—try the brighter tones in a moisturizing cream shadow on the lid or to define the socket, as well as the smoky shades that look so sexy. Avoid too much pink, as this brings out redness in the eyes and skin.
- Powder, for finishing touches. Get a color a bit lighter than your foundation, that way you will avoid getting orange after you're done with make-up.
- Toner. Get a natural alcohol free toner. Rose water is great, and it has a great effect on problematic skin.
- New brushes. That is very important, because when you use a brush for a long time it gets dirty. All kinds of bacteria develop and you put that on your face if you don't change them every now and then. I usually buy a new set of brushes in the begginning of every school year.
- Chapstick. This will be your saver in the winter, and it's great when you don't have time to fix your lipstick. Just take a wet tissue, run it on your lips, and apply the chapstick, your lips will look fresh and soft for a few hours ahead.
- A small bag for makeup. And not just make up, you can put all of your small necessities in it: chapstick, eye liner, powder, wet tissues, bobby pins, hair bow an aseptic plaster, a small perfume... You just decide how many things you need, and get a suitable bag. You don't even have to buy one, you could just look around, you surely have a makeup bag that you don't use, and it might be the right size. This is something I strongly advice you to do, it will save you a lot of space in your school bag, and you can even put it in your everyday bag, and it will save time since you won't have to take everything from your bag to find a bobby pin for example.
- Foot powder, if you're one of these people who just love their trainers, you will need it. You only need to put it in the morning and evening when you take off your shoes, in the shoe of course. I advice you on this because i know how horrible it is when you change for gym and suddenly you feel the scent of someone's stinky feet.
And that is pretty much it. These are the things you would need to look great trough the year. For more useful tips keep reading my blog. And leave a comment, your opinion will be very helpful in improving this blog.
