7 Back to College Beauty Must Haves
Posted by Vanna B on
September has come and gone, but the school daze is lingering. After the long much needed summer break, getting back in to "college" mode can not only be challenging mentally, but also skin-tally, hair-tally, and fashion-tally! I mean, whose really thinking about taking off makeup at 1am after a long day of lecture filled classes? Well, Ari Luxe has got you covered. We've rounded up the must have beauty essentials that will get you through the semester and beyond!
1. BB CREAM
When you've hit the snooze button one too many times and are in a rush but want to save face, grab your BB Cream! It's quick, easy and effective. I'm totally obsessed with Korean Beauty and are living for this Beauty Balm Cream:
Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++, Amazon, $13
2. LUXE VEGAN MAKEUP BRUSHES
I'm all about ex-ing out animal cruelty like ex-ing out a cheating boyfriend! No one needs either! That's why I love Ari Luxe's line of cruelty-free makeup brushes. Here's my top pick of the moment:
Oria Jr 6 Piece Brush Set, www.shopariluxe.com, $16 
3. CHARCOAL SOAP
Charcoal has long been known to provide some pretty cool beauty benefits. From detoxification to drawing out dirt. I never thought I'd be using a bar soap, but after using this charcoal bar I will never go back to a liquid body wash! Bonus, this bar is just as amazing for your face! It's truly an all over, do it all soap.
The Grandpa Co Charcoal Bar Soap, Vitamin Shoppe, $4.49
4. SKIN SCRUB BRUSH
Scrubbing away exam stress, boring lecture classes, pollution, makeup, and dirt are a must at the end of the day. This scrub brush makes it enjoyable and easy.

5. FACE OIL
NEVER EVER did I imagine I'd be putting oil on my face. Intentionally! But not only do I daily put oil on my face, I can't live without it! It has made an extreme difference in the texture on my combination skin.
Life Flo Rosehip Seed Oil, Amazon, $8.79 
6. LIP GLOSS
Keeping your lips from looking like a prune in those classes where the a/c is blowing like a winter storm is a must. Opt for a moisturizing lip gloss to provide the benefit of moisturized lips with a pop of color! Below is my perfect frugal find that's cheap and great on all skin tones!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss, Target, $5.99
7. MASCARA
Although I heart a good pair of falsies, ain't nobody got time for that every AM! Instead I opt for a good mascara and apply a couple coats before I rush to class. My pick that I'm obsessed with is:
Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise, Target, $7.49
