The School Bag Edit

Being in my last year of school I've had plenty of time to figure out what essentials I should carry around in my school bag with me. I try my hardest to keep to the bare minimum when it comes to what I take to school with me but my other daily junk somehow finds it way back into my bag (oops). However, I've recently sorted my bag out and decided to write a post on my 'must have' school bag essentials.

 This is what I like to call my 'beauty first aid kit'.

The first thing I take with me is my Soap and Glory 'Kick Ass' concealer. I love this concealer compact as not only does it have a peachy shade (perfect for hiding those dark circles, which we all know are very common when getting up early for school) and a more neutral shade (brilliant for those pesky spots), it also has a translucent powder and a mirror! I would always recommend taking a concleaer and powder to school with you if you wear makeup, just in case you need to touch up.

 

The second thing I consider an essential is a lip balm. I'm currently using the baby lips in 'hydrate' but any lip balm will do. I think this is super important because there's nothing worse than having dry lips! I also carry round the Lush 'charity pot'. This is a hand/body lotion and it's in such a cute, tiny tin. This is perfect for school because it's so small that it easily fits in your bag and I hate getting dry hands at school.

The next thing I would recommened carrying round with you is a hair brush and hair bands. I take my orange tangle teezer with me because we all know just how great tangle teezers are! I find it important to take these with me because if it rains (which is very likely here in England) then you can just tie your hair up and not have to worry about it.

The last two things I like to take to school with me are a perfume sample - I'm currently using a Gucci sample - and a nail file. Having a perfume sample is great because it means you can still freshen up throughout the day but you dont have to carry a massive bottle with you! It also means that you can try out new perfumes, which is never a bad thing. Carrying a nail file is very important. The most annoying thing is when you break a nail at school and there's nothing you can do about it, so your just left with a horrible ridgid nail.
