Back to school is almost here (crazy right?) so I’ve decided to put together a pretty comprehensive (warning you) beauty guide. Whether you’re hitting the hallways or the boardrooms, these products will have you looking flawless from day to night.
LIPS
First up, let’s start with the lips. You can’t go wrong with Charlotte Tilbury and her lipstick Pillow Talk was actually derived from a lip liner at first. This colour is the perfect hue to start September off as it’s not too dark but has a soft matte finish with 3-D glowing pigments. Plus, it smells amazing too. You’ll definitely be having all the boys after you.
FACE
Concealer is a must have in the school/work season because undereye circles are not so cute. I am loving Benefit’s newest Boi-ing collection. The concealers are made to look like erasers, pencils, etc to get into the school season. I love good branding, and Benefit kills it with this. Not only are these products cute, but they work really well. I love how lightweight they are and they actually last all day, so no having to reapply during coffee breaks. The concealers have been divided into 4 groups, Brightening, Industrial Strength, Airbrush and Hydrating. Personally, my favourite is the brightening because I love a good glow.
Masks are my all-time favourite thing to do when the day is over. I seriously live for a good pampering sesh. These masks are from When and all of them contain hyaluronic acid and ginseng extracts which help keep skin moisturized and healthy. I love that all of these have different purposes.
Clay masks are not only amazing for your skin, but they’re quite fun to use too. I am loving L’Oreal’s newest Pure Clay Mask line, they have a variety of ingredients in their products from seaweed to red algae to eucalyptus and even charcoal. After using these masks, my skin felt extremely soft and was rid of outside pollution. These masks are perfect for the new season because with going to school and work, you are a lot more susceptible to pollution and if you think about it, there are so many germs out there and your skin deserves a good cleaning. (Kind of gross, I know).
Can we talk about L’Occitane’s latest line called Peony? I love it, it all smells so good and the Perfecting Mist is great for stashing in your tote and spritzing throughout the day for refreshing and toning your face. I love any kind of mist and this peony extract one is a must-have. The Facial Cleansing Oil is another goodie—it’s actually infused with real peony petals from Provence (swoon) and it does double duty by removing makeup and impurities.
SKIN
I’ve been a huge fan of Jergens for awhile now and I am loving their new Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Soothing Aloe lotions. What I love about this brand is they always develop products that solves a myriad of issues, I personally love the Shea butter one because it smells
So many of these products I love! The L’Oreal masks are great – especially the red algae one. I also LOVE the Lash Paradise mascara! My new fave 🙂
Yay so glad you liked these too, I know isn’t the mascara amazing?! Yes the masks are great too!
I have been dying to try the new L’Oreal mascara! I have heard nothing but great things and after reading this I’ll have to purchase it. There are so many good products in this! I love using the clay masks and that Charlotte Tilbury lipstick has been on my wishlist!

OMG you have to try the mascara, it’s honestly SO good and I never say that about mascaras because my lashes are quite short, but this one is amazing! Yes, the clay masks are so cool and the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick is a definite winner! LOVE the colour.
Beachy smelling shampoo? I must try this! I love the beach and anything that smells like coconut. I’ve been using these Jergens lotions for awhile- love them. Thanks for sharing!
It’s so good, seriously!! And you’re welcome, thanks for stopping by!
I’ve been out of school for quite awhile – which I am not sad about! But as much as I didn’t like going to school, I kind of miss that back-to-school feeling of picking out how you want to be this year and starting over sort of. It would be fun to have a point in the year to refresh all the beauty products and maybe get some new clothes all at once I think!
I know what you mean, it was always so much to go shopping! I still think it’s fun to refresh up your beauty cabinet every now and then, though!
Love trying out new beauty products and L’Oréal is a favorite of mine!
Mine too!
