School Essentials

Hello midweek post! I hope all of you guys are having a great week so far. I've been in school, which is where I got the inspiration for this post. I'm going to share with you a few of my school necessities, apart from my books and equipment. Enjoy!

1. My Natural Collection powder and a large brush. Usually after PE, my skin is quite oily or just needs touching up. Since I don't have a huge amount of time in between classes, I usually just carry my powder around with me. It's matte and lasts for quite a while, which stops my makeup from moving. I use this brush which is only from Claire's Accessories, simply because it fits in my makeup bag easily and I'm not worried if I lose it.

2. My coverup stick from Collection. Do you guys ever have a spot that just won't stay concealed no matter what you do? Well in case that happens, I like to always have a concealer with me. I like this one as it's matte and gives heavy coverage, yet it is more like a foundation stick in my opinion. It's also really small so it's easy to carry around.

3. Next is some hand gel. I'm one of those people who hates germs, so this is really handy to carry around with me. It's small so I can keep it in my blazer and just get it out when I need it.

4. My lips are almost always dry, which is why I find it handy to have a lip balm with me. Lately I've been loving my Chapstick in Classic Cherry. It's soothing and makes my lips feel softer, yet it doesn't have much pigmentation, just slightly tinting my lips. This is good for school as I'm not allowed to wear bright lip colours, yet this still makes them look nicer.

5. A deodorant and body spray are always with me when I'm in school. I have larger ones of these as they usually live in my locker or my bag, which is handy to have for after P.E and at the end of the day. If you wanted to keep them in your blazer pocket or just downsize, travel size would be perfect.

6. The last thing in keep with me is a bobble, or a hair tie if that's what you call them. Whether I want to change my hairstyle, my bobble snaps or if I have a friend who needs one, it's always good to be prepared and keep one of these with you at all times.
