My Essentials

1. Rusk w8less Plus Hairspray $14 - My roommate let me borrow this hairspray once, I've been hooked ever since. It truly is a miracle for me. The thing I love the most is that it never leaves your hair feeling "crunchy", and it doesn't not give off a strong chemical odor like some hairsprays-- which is also a plus. This leaves my hair feeling soft and very manageable.
2. Boots No.7 Quick Thinking 4-1 Face Wipe $7 -I first saw these as recommended by fashiontoast, and it was a great recommendation! These wipes are the perfect combination of facial cleaner and make-up remover. They are strong enough to remove waterproof mascara (major plus), but they leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Plus, for the price could you really need more?

3. Maybelline Volume Express The Falsies Mascara $7 - I've reviewed this product on here before, but I will say it again that for under $10 I think this is one of the better drugstore Mascaras on the market right now. For me, I've never experienced any bad clumping with the applicator brush, and I find it evenly distributes all over my lashes, leaving them very much volumized. It's also great for when you want to just add a little definition to your face without sitting down and applying a full face worth of make-up, which is something a on the go college student like myself can appreciate.

4. Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm Tin $3 - This has been a staple of mine since I found it in middle school. I love Burt's Bees simply because of the instant cooling effect it has on my lips. It never builds up into a slimy residue like some other chapsticks or lip balms. It simply is a nice and natural way to heal your lips. It is also a nice base to add to your lips before applying a lipgloss or lipstick because it does not have a very thick constancy.

5. Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow $7 - This has also been a staple of mine for a very long time. I get the 4 shades in Not so Nude. The shadow has a nice luminance quality to it. It is also a nice go-to shadow if you're not feeling like going all out on the eyes. The colors blend very well together, being a creme shadow, but they only thing you may find troublesome is if you're not used to it you may wipe it off by mistake. Overall though, it is a great product!

6. Clinique Gentle Light Powder and Brush $23 - This is by far the best finishing powder I've found that I like. And when it comes to splurging on make-up, Clinique is always an exception for me. This product is so versatile because you can apply it alone or as a finish. And it also contains light reflecting speckles so your face always looks clean and shimmery. For the value and the time it takes to go through a bottle (which is a long time), it is definitely worth the investment.
