As we transition into October, the inevitable midterms are creeping in and those long days of back-to-back classes and activities are in full effect. Whether you’re running out of your door with barely enough time to look in the mirror, or haven’t returned to your room in 8 hours, one thing is clear— on-the-go beauty products are a MUST.
Regardless of season, it’s always helpful to have a few products that keep you fresh and confident throughout your day. As a busy college student who is always moving between classes, clubs, and errands, I’ve experimented with many products that simplify my routine. With a few of my fellow beauty lovers at USC, I asked what they needed in their bags for touch-ups and compiled a list of these go-to beauty must-haves.
Here are some of our absolute favorites, in no particular order, that have come to our rescue on multiple occasions. Let’s take a closer look!
Tower 28 SOS Spray
My “holy grail,” as my roommate would describe it. This hydrochlorous spray is an absolute game-changer when it comes to beauty on the go. Specifically, the mini spray fits in any pencil case and can be whipped out at any moment. Whether I’m leaving the gym, or I just feel like my face needs some refreshing, this spray has saved me, and so many others time after time.
Blotting Sheets
This might seem like a common sense one but I feel that it’s a major game changer often forgotten about. Like the SOS spray, it’s perfect for those refreshing moments and can make the tiniest, yet major difference in your makeup and confidence levels. Plus, blotting sheets like the Clean & Clear ones can be found at any Target!
Sunscreen
We all know that sunscreen is a must in the morning, but we sometimes forget that it needs to be re-applied, especially if we are walking between classes. Specifically, the mini Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is a must for a lightweight, quick application.
By Rosie Jane Perfume
Honestly, if I had to pick my favorite go-to product from this list, I’d have to choose perfume. Nothing beats getting compliments on how good you smell. A recent discovery that has become my new favorite is Rosie Jane’s perfume in Missy, and of course, in the travel size. When I tell you, this scent makes me feel so fresh, it’s insane. Also, quick side note, it may sound like I’m promoting many BCC speakers, but what can I say, we have great taste!
Lip Product
I mean, is there much to say about this one? From lip balms to glosses, hydrating your lips is a necessity throughout the day. The Summer Friday’s Lip Butter Balm is undoubtedly a crowd favorite, along with the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint. If you want to know all the current lip favorites, be sure to check out the previous BCC blog post!
Pressed Powder
On par with the blotting sheets, sometimes you just need that product to spruce up your look. My friends and I find that a simple pressed powder always does the trick. Specifically, the Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder is always within close reach of us.
From one college student to another, I hope these recommendations make those busy days a little easier. Here’s to feeling your best every day, all day!
