We’ve all been at the point after pulling the dreaded “all-nighter,” where we don’t even care if our hair is unkempt, there are dark circles under our eyes or whether we’ve been wearing the same outfit for three days in a row. With the semester in full swing and all of the papers, tests and midterms piling up, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and forget all about your looks. There is no need to fret any longer fellow collegiettes! I am here to share with you some quick and easy tips to stay beautiful all semester long without having to put your schoolwork on hiatus.
Check out my beauty tips below to look flawless all semester long no matter how strenuous your semester is!
BB Cream
Beauty Balm, otherwise known as BB Cream, is truly a miracle in a bottle. This powerful cream will save you time because it is a multi-beneficial product that offers advanced skin care plus immediate skin perfecting coverage! BB Cream works to even out your skin tone and reduces redness. It is a tinted moisturizer, which helps make your skin look glowing and radiant all day long. BB Cream can be worn alone or with bronzer for a healthy glow. You can pick up this little marvel from your favorite makeup stand or drugstore. Tip: If you’ve been hitting the books all hours of the night or have that harrowing 8 a.m.. class, refrigerate your BB Cream and apply it on your face in the morning. The coolness tightens your pores and invigorates your skin, thus making your skin look as great as it would had you gotten a full night’s sleep!
Eyelash Tinting
We all have those mornings where we press the snooze button one too many times and become so rushed that we only have time to throw on a hat, brush our teeth and dash out the door without even glancing in the mirror – hence the power of eyelash tinting. Eyelash tinting has become a beauty phenomenon and makes your lashes look luscious day and night without the use of mascara. Your eyes are typically the first giveaway of a sleepless night and and a coating of mascara can livens your facial appearance. No time for the mascara wand is no problem. Eyelash tinting is a semi-permanent remedy that will save you time in the morning and have you looking bright-eyed all hours of the day! The dye used to color lashes black is a vegetable-based dye, which helps minimize irritation around the eye and lasts four to six weeks. Benefits: Unlike mascara that you apply every morning, eyelash tinting works around the clock to give you a coifed look. It’s also waterproof and wonderful for women with busy lifestyles! Bottom line, it’s ideal for all collegiettes!
Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is a beauty product that was revolutionized in the 70’s and has made a big comeback in recent years (thankfully). It’s a powerful powder in an aerosol can that blots out grease and absorbs excess oil for that just-washed clean look! Although dry shampoo was saved for quick-fix emergencies in the 70’s, you can incorporate this brilliant powder into your regular repertoire! Dry shampoo is an awesome and affordable remedy for collegiettes with busy schedules. For those of you that are too pressed for time to wash your hair or need to run out the door for a meeting, all you need to do is massage some dry shampoo into your scalp, brush and you are all set for class! On a budget? Tresemme is a wonderful drugstore brand that will help your locks look luscious and clean! Tip: Flip your head and spritz dry shampoo from root to tip for extra volume and oomph!
