Back to School Essentials

Well, it's that time of year again. Back to school! Definitely the best part of going back to school are those fresh new pair of shoes and that cute new purse or backpack. But you can't forget it's a great excuse to buy new makeup! It's really important to bring a few needed essentials to school. I bought this flower printed cosmetics bag ($3-4) from target and it fits everything perfectly. I've noticed that the bigger the bag I use the more stuff I will fill it with so I try to keep the cosmetics bag to a smaller size just for more simple essentials. Inside it I usually put products that I would normally carry in my purse. To start with I have my Clean & Clear Oil absorbing sheets because those are a MUST for school. Your constantly outside and in the sun and the oil on your face will build up. Next I have my Covergirl "Ready Set Gorgeous" powder in 115-120 light/pale. This powder is perfect to freshen up during the day and it's also in a compact so it has the mirror and sponge applier. It's super cheap and you can also pick this up at your nearest drugstore for around $5-7. 

Next I have a small lotion and you'll never believe how useful this has been for not only me but also my friends. I've been in school for 3 weeks now and I have seriously almost finished it. I'm using Pure Seduction by Victoria Secret and it smells amazing. It's only 2 fl oz because it is the travel size and came with some other lotions also so I'm unsure of the exact price but it is from Victoria Secret and they are still selling it. Next I have my Burts Bees chapstick and this is defiantly a holy grail product. I bring that sucker with me everywhere as you can tell by the picture you can no longer see the label, oops lol. You can purchase this at any drugstore and they range from $3-4 also very cheap. Lastly I have my mascara. It's the Covergirl "Flamed out" Water Resistant Mascara in Very black. I use this for touchups or if I rub my eye throughout the day and feel like most of it came off. Also the water proof part actually makes it sweat proof which is much needed on a hot school day. 

And that's a wrap! I know that was verrrrryyy long but this was a post I really wanted to elaborate on. It's really important to carry one of these cosmetics bags because they will come in handy A LOT. With all that being said your set for a successful day at school. Until next time! <3
