Must Buys from the Beauty Isle

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rockhurst U chapter.

With every season comes new beauty must haves. I have always been a big proponent of self-care and beauty products. In fact, you will never see my nails without nail polish on them. In my opinion, taking care of yourself and making yourself feel good is the first step to a healthy and happier physical and mental lifestyle. So, check out these five products while preparing for back to school!

Browse all of the listed must-haves here!*

Revlon Perfect Heat Waver                    $22.00  

Remember in middle school when you would braid your hair after the shower at night for wavy hair in the morning? Well here’s a product that does that for you. An easy to use three-barrel jumbo waver that creates natural-looking waves. The waves last for multiple days afterward. While this product was a bit challenging to use at first, I was able to master its use after a youtube video. You have to make sure you line the barrel up to the last wave you created. Say goodbye to wet, uncomfortable braids! 

Flawless DermaPlane Facial Exfoliator and Hair Remover $9.99 

Do you want smoother skin? Want to shape your eyebrows in seconds? This three pack of razors is perfect for sculpting your eyebrows into the perfect shape while at home getting ready. You can also use the razor along your face to give yourself a mini-DermaPlane facial right from your bathroom. The benefits of using this product are endless. Dermaplaning removes soft facial hair that traps dirt and oils which in turn my cause breakouts. Dermaplaning also reduces the appearance of acne scars. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo $6.49 

Washing and drying hair every day is SO overrated. You need a can of Batiste Dry Shampoo to keep your hair looking fresh after day 3 of not washing. This brand offers a variety of scents and colors for all hair types. Dry shampoo is probably my #1 beauty product that I ALWAYS have. I even keep a small can in my car. 

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes $5.19 

Can’t make it to the bathroom to wash your makeup off? Neutrogena’s got you covered. These wipes are easy to use and store in a desk or nightstand drawer. Great for all skin types. Keep your skin looking fresh during this adjustment back to campus. Many times, our hormones fluctuate as we adjust to new environments and lifestyle changes. 

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin  $9.99  Keep your skin hydrated with this lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that helps hydrate skin and restores a natural barrier. This daily moisturizer is hypoallergenic and great for all skin types. Taking care of your skin is very important as you adjust back to campus life.
