Hello, so I left school this year and I'll be going to college in a month or so, so I thought I'd help those of you who are still in school out. After all the years I spent in school I feel like I have enough experience to know what you'll need!
Chewing Gum If you have a big tub of this extra chewing gum in the first week of college/school you will make so many friends! Honestly you pop this bad boy open in a class and suddenly you're the most popular kid in the school. Bitches go mental for chewing gum. My favourite is the bubblemint flavour.
Lip Balm I wouldn't wear any mental lip colours in school too often so I would just carry around a small lip balm if I were you. These eos ones are amazing and so are maybelline baby lips if you want a cheaper version. Clear lip balm is best as you don't have to worry about getting Miranda Sings lips in class if you can't get to a mirror!
Calculator Obviously depending on the subjects you are taking a casio calculator is essential. If you're in years 7/8/9 it isn't a must but you could get one anyway ready for the later years. A scientific calculator is always handy for maths and science lessons, I also found it helpful to check my maths homework before I handed it in.
Hairbrush A hairbrush is very handy in school because you never know what might happen, you might be running late in the morning or something could happen in school that you need to brush your hair. For example some stupid boys were throwing yoghurt and it got in my friend's hair and thank god she had a brush with her, if she hadn't she'd have had to have yoghurt hair all day.
Deodrant This is sort of obvious but I thought I'd just remind you. This is especially important on days when you have PE/sport because you will sweat. Even on days you don't have PE/sport you will still sweat especially in summer. And nobody wants to be smelling in school.
Powder The one in the picture is actually more of a corrector but for school I definitely recommend a powder or a light powder foundation just so you can top up while you're in school. Personally I didn't touch up during school but if you wanna look on fleek all day all you'll really need is a powder, a lip balm and a mascara.
Mascara This benefit mascara has changed my mind about it, I posted a review here on my blog a little while ago and basically said I hated it. Buuuuut, I don't. I love it! In the morning apply your makeup as you normally would but for touch-ups all I would recommend is the basics.
Drink Buy one of these plastic bottles (Mine is from the 99p store) and fill it with your favourite beverage. Mine is blackcurrant squash. A drink is essential because as I said about deodrant, you will sweat and get warm when you have PE/sport or when it's summer. So you'll need to stay hydrated. Also, if you're having a bit of an off day. You know those days when you've begged your parents for a day at home because you don't feel well, but they've said "just try and go in" <-- WORST SENTENCE IN THE WORLD!! So you'll be sitting in class all depressed wishing you were tucked up watching Jeremy Kyle in bed and eating cake and you'll find that drinking a little drink will make you feel better especially if it's cold. A good idea is to freeze your water bottle overnight so when you take it in the morning and drink it throughout the day it's never going to be warm(which is the WORST)
They are all my essentials. Thank you for reading and let me know any essentials I missed or if this helped you!
Alanna :)
