Hey guys! So its back to school time and I wanted to make a blog series called "BacktoschoolwithA". My first post in this series is Back To School Essentials. So I keep all my back to school essentials in a green and turquoise zipper bag from Target. It looks small, but can fit an awful lot! The thing I like a zipper bag than a velcro is that velcro bags can come undone! Plus you can get zipper bags any where!
Ok on the the essentials:
My first essential is a deodorant. The one I use and swear by is the Speed Lady Stick In Cool And Fresh. Some people debate that it smells like toilet spray, but I think it smells like other deodorants. It is a gel formula which helps to stop perspiration which I love!!
My next essntial is hand cream. This is a must for me in the cooler months or when I want some me time. The one I have is the Crabtree and Everlyn Summer Hill. This scent is amazing! So refreshing and the moisturising benefits are amazing!!
Next is a lip balm. The one I keep in my emergancy kit is the NIVEA Milk And Honey. I love smell and it is moistening as well as being small and compact.
With the lip theme I have put in two lip glosses. The first one is NYX Sweet Heart which is a nude-pink. I leaves a pearly shine and it smells like cherries. The second one is Sportsgirl Give Me Some Lip Liquid Lip Colour In Cotton Candy pretty much just giving you shine.
To cover those spots, is the Essence Stay Natural Concealer. This is perfect for school as it looks very natural and very blendable so you don't need to bring a brush. To set your concealer you will need a powder and my favourite drugstore one is the Essence All About Matte Powder. They are a light-medium coverage and of you break it in your school bag or you drop it its not really a big deal because its only $5.00. As for eyelashes, you want them natural but full, so I would go for Revlon Photo Ready 3D Volume Mascara. Although it is pricey, you do get your moneys worth. Other wise if you didn't want a black mascara, the ELF Clear Eyelash And Eyebrow Gel is a great alternative.
To freshen up your breath, if your school doesn't allow gum is the LUSH Dirty Toothy Tabs. These are like toothpaste in a solid form and cheaper. You still need to brush your teeth though! The dirty toothy tabs are minty, whilst not being over powering.
If your smelling funky after sport then I would take a shower so in order to wash yourself you are gonna need shower gel and one that I particularly like is the Body Shop Shea Shower Cream With The Body Shop Shea Body Whip.These two are an amazing pair and together you will smell and feel good. Also after sport you will be sweaty and oily so you are going to want to blot that oil off so one of my favourite essentials are the Essence All About Matte Oil Control Paper. These are amazing for when you are sweaty because personally I don't want to pack on powder on an oily, sweaty face and the next day get a few pimples. So these are an Alyssa must!
I hope you guys enjoyed and don't forget to DM me or post your essentials on instagram with the #backtoschoolwitha
