With less than a month away until school starts, it’s time to round up this year’s beauty essentials. The start of the school year was always my favorite time, as I loved to reinvent myself and switch up my style or beauty routine. Whether you’re beginning a new year at high school or University, here is a list of 8 beauty products that we think would totally be Cher-approved.
The Products
1. Goody Ouchless 30 No-Metal Elastics
Goody’s Ouchless No-Metal Elastics are essential for the start of a new school year. These super-stretchy hair ties each deliver up to 10 more ponytails, topknots, and braids without losing elasticity. Yup, you heard that right..not all hair ties are the same! Goody’s Ouchless elastic design features a unique Smart-Stretch core that outperforms the leading brand. Buy at WALMART.
2. MUGLER Alien Eau to Go Refillable Purse Spray ($30)
Now available in a new refillable purse spray, Mugler’s Alien Fragrance is a back-to-school must-have! Alien by MUGLER is a radiant & mysterious perfume that releases peace and magic in its wake. This 0.3 fl oz. Eau-to-go fragrance contains notes of jasmine sambac, cashmeran wood, and white amber. The new MUGLER Eau to Go Refillable Purse Spray is also available in the Angel by MUGLER fragrance. Buy at DILLARDS.
3. Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream ($29.50)
It’s important to take care of your skin throughout the school year when you’re more exposed to stressors. With so many moisturizers on the market, I thought I would help cross one thing off your list and recommend my current favorite, The Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream. This lightweight facial cream absorbs moisture from the air throughout the day to provide skin with 24-hour hydration. Formulated with imperata cylindrica and Antarcticine, this moisturizer leaves skin feeling comfortable and silky soft, even in severe weather conditions (S/O to my Upstate, NY’ers!). Buy at ULTA or NORDSTROM.
4. Seven Cubica Classic Hairspray ($27)
Hairspray is a must-have product for all year round, but the beginning of a new school year is the perfect excuse to try a new one! You may already know that I have been using (& raving about!) the Seven brand haircare products, so it’s no surprise I fell in love with the Seven Cubica Classic Hairspray. I have tried countless hairsprays, and it’s rare for me to find one that I really, really like. So many of them either leave my hair feeling straw-like or don’t hold hair in place. The Seven Cubica Hairspray however, is truly one-of-a-kind. This medium hold hairspray provides touchable, three-dimensional hold that never dries out hair or makes it feel crunchy. It’s even scented with Green Tea Vetiver, giving hair a light refreshing scent. Other features: SLS-Free, SLES-Free, Paraben-Free, Dye-Free. Buy at 7HAIRCARE.
5. Avalon Organics Intense Defense Sheer Moisture SPF 10
It’s important to have a moisturizer containing SPF, especially during the school year when the last thing on your mind is applying sunscreen before going out. The Avalon Organics Intense Defense Sheer Moisture nourishes skin while protecting it against incidental daily UV exposure. As you know, environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV rays create free radicals on the skin which causes premature aging, so it’s crucial to protect skin with SPF-infused products when you can. This Intense Defense Moisturizer also contains vitamin C, white tea and lemon bioflavonoids to support skin’s natural renewal cycle and defensive barrier. Buy at AMAZON or WALMART.
6. ColorProof FreshStart Soft Dry Shampoo ($25)
Don’t let the hectic school schedule interfere with keeping up with your hygiene, and pick up the ColorProof FreshStart Soft Dry Shampoo! This no-wash solution instantly refreshes hair by absorbing oil, sweat, residue and odor, extending the life of your style. The ultra-sheer formula also contains conditioning agents and emollients that provide hair with a velvety finish. Buy at COLORPROOF.
7. Vitamin Friends Hair Vegetarian Gummies Natural Berry ($29.99)
As exciting as the idea of a new school year is, we all know it comes with late nights and stress. It’s important to keep up with your health and yes, that means taking your vitamins! But taking your vitamins doesn’t have to be a chore when Vitamin Friends make them taste so delicious! The Vitamin Friends Hair Gummies are made up of Biotin (Vitamin B7), a water-soluble vitamin that’s a part of the Vitamin B complex. This key group of nutrients is necessary for healthy metabolic, nerve, digestive and cardiovascular functions. Not only that, but these vitamin gummies ALSO promote healthy hair, skin and nails (are you sold yet? Because I am!). With 5,000 mcgs of Biotin and Multi-Vitamins, this bottle of 60 gummies is oh-so worth it. Buy at VITACOST.
8. Jergens Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer SPF 20 ($9.99)
Start off the school year right with a natural glow, thanks to the Jergens Natural Glow Face Moisturizer! This SPF-infused moisturizer gradually creates natural-looking color with a subtle skin darkening complex. Recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation, the Jergens natural glow FACE moisturizer provides UVA/UVB protection with SPF 20 to protect against the sun’s harmful rays and help prevent sunburn. In addition, this moisturizer won’t leave an unpleasant odor like most of the self-tanning products out there, and also lasts 2X longer than the leading sunlesss tanner! Buy at ULTA or WALMART.
