Back to School Beauty Necessities

Whether you're in college like me, or in high or middle school, the return of the school year is coming up very quickly! This year I have set myself a lot of goals, such as doing better in school, getting more involved in my sorority, and staying fabulous all the time. I bought a few drugstore cosmetics to carry with me during classtime and I will also do a few new routines at nighttime to ensure my face is in top condition!
Carry-Ons
In my pencil case this year, I will certainly not be carrying just pencils! Today, I went to Walgreen's and purchased Wet N Wild's Mega Slicks Lip Gloss in Red Sensation. I had never tried this product before, but I am already in love and want to go back and buy more for my regular make-up collection! This lipgloss is very pigmented, non-sticky, and lasts for a pretty long time. It also only costs $2! Another product I plan on buying is a Wet N Wild single eyeshadow, probably in Brulee or Nutty, to carry around with me just in case I didn't have time to put on eyeshadow or for touchups. These eyeshadows have gotten fab reviews around the online makeup community and aren't pricey at all.
Routines
My lips have always been chapped and I never really did anything about it. A few weeks ago, I was priming my lips with NYC concealer, and I really noticed how cracked they were. So, I ran out to Walgreen's and purchased my new everyday product. It is Cococare's The Yellow Stick, which is 100% cocoa butter. This stick is amazing, and it smells like chocolate! It is very, very shiny, so I don't wear it outside the house though. I use this product right when I wake up and before I go to sleep. I also use it random times throughout the day when I am at home. My lips have never been so soft!
I have also been using Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer every night before I go to bed. This moisturizer was a gift with another makeup purchase and is very pricey; however, there are plenty of affordable moisturizers available in drugstores! My favorite drugstore moisturizer is Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisturizer, which runs at about $9.
