Back to School Beauty Essentials

Hey everyone! Back to School is right around the corner. So, I Thought I would share some Back to School Beauty Essentials that will work for everyone.

College students often have two things working against them. They are busy and  they often don’t have a lot of money to spend on beauty products. But y’all… “Drugstore” beauty products have changed big time!  You don’t have to worry about sacrificing quality, for affordable prices. I find myself preferring drugstore beauty products more and more.

A couple of weeks ago,  I headed off to my local Meijer and searched for the best products I could find.  I found some new things that I’ve loved and I went back to some tried and true products I already love.

Like I mentioned above, I have many drugstore favorites, but these are some products I’ve reached for because they are affordable, easily accessible, and they provide great results. I especially love the Loreal Optical blur concealer. It provides great coverage, its long wearing, and it doesn’t crease!

I’m a big believer in mixing products to achieve a look! I almost always use more than one mascara. They each have their ‘claim to fame”  but I want all the benefits of each one. So I create mascara mixes: using two to three different mascaras to achieve bold, beautiful, false-looking lashes! I particularly love the Loreal Voluminous rubber wand. It helps to de- clump my lashes leaving them looking amazing.

I hope you enjoyed these Back to School Beauty Essentials! Head over to your local Meijer to check out their Beauty Section. It’s truly my favorite place to shop for beauty products. They have a wide range of products for drugstore brands to prestige brands as well. It’s well-organized, beautifully lit, and they offer great prices.  Check the mperks app out for additional savings on beauty products.
