Back To School Make-up Essentials


Hey everyone!
Everyone goes back to school this week where I am so, I thought I would do a quick little
post of my favourite inexpensive make-up and a few skincare essentials which, can al be
purchased from most drug stores/pharmacy's.




Neutrogena Spot Stress Control 3 in 1 Daily Cleansing Lotion
I bought this recently and I'm really loving it. It says it's a cleanser but I basically use it as a toner. I use it after
cleansing my face in the morning and before moisturising then, I use it in the evening after cleansing and
before putting on my facial Rose hip oil. I'm prone to spots and get stressed often so this calms my skin down
so much. It's a great product for back to school as it can be quite stressful and who wants spots making it worse.

Cetaphil Moisturising-Lotion
I really love this moisturiser and would definitely recommend it to anyone! My one is for dry/sensitive skin but
I'm pretty sure they also do one for oily skin as well. It's about £7/£8 and mine has lasted me months and months
and I use it everyday and leaves me skin so moisturised and isn't greasy or oily in the slightest which I love!

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer
I don't usually use primer as I don't really need it as my skin is quite dry but if I do need to use a primer,
this is the one I go for. It's very inexpensive and does the job perfectly.

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation in Ivory
This foundation is definitely one of my favourites. It gives such a great finish and is very easy to blend. (I use it
with a damp Real Techniques sponge) Plus the best thing is that it's only  £8.99!

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light
This is a great under eye concealer if you've had a late night. I like to use this with a damp Real Techniques
sponge and it goes on perfectly!

Rimmel Clear Complexion Transparent Powder
I use powder to set my concealer sometimes and I've always loved this one. It doesn't change the colour
of your concealer or foundation and I like the fact it controls oil and mattifies your skin as I can get a bit
of an oily t-zone throughout the day.

Maybelline Eye Studio Master Shape Brow in Soft Brown
When you're in school I don't recommend going all out on doing your brows. I never use to. It's best to keep it
as simple as possible. If you do like to fill in your brows a bit then I recommend this brow pencil from
Maybelline. It's only £2.99 which is amazing and it also has a spoolie on the end to brush out any harsh lines.

Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara in Medium Brown
To set my brows I like to use this brow mascara from Maybelline also. It's tinted so gives a bit of colour. You
could use this alone to tame your brows if you don't like to fill them in. I like that it sets them in place without
leaving them feeling too rock hard.

LOreal Volume Million Lashes Excess Mascara
I'm not overly fussed about having massive lashes as I prefer to look more natural which is why I love this mascara.
It's give length and volume but doesn't leave them looking like spider lashes!

Makeup Revolution happylips in Love Nude
I never wore any lipstick in school, but if you want to add a bit of colour to your lips then I recommend Makeup
Revolutions new happy lips collection. They have the lipstick colour in the middle with argan oil surrounding
it, so conditions your lips as well as gives them a bit of colour. They're also only £3 which I think is amazing.
