I (didn’t) wake up like this

I (didn't) wake up like this

The first week of school is over and these mornings have got me feeling drained. My skin looks even worse than drained in the morning and to top it all off I unfortunately look nothing like Beyoncé when I wake up.

Here are five beauty essentials to get you to flawless for school from… Well, not so flawless when you wake up.

1: Magic LUMI light infusing primer from L’oreal Paris- this product keeps your foundation from melting throughout the day and helps to make your face look rejuvenated. It’s a small bottle but it’s inexpensive and a small amount can go a long way so it’s well worth it. It can be found at Target for $10.39.

2: Eye Bright Kit from Pixi- this product is a small tin of four different primers for your eyes. You can use them as you desire or use all four as instructed. This makes your eyes look bigger, more awake, and of course, brighter. This kit can be found at Target for $18.

3: Oh so radiant! Mineral wear powder from Physicians formula- I find that this product really goes hand in hand with the light infusing powder. It pairs nicely with any formula and sets it while giving it a slight radiance. This product claims to do a lot of things such as help your skin to breathe and prevent breakouts which is pretty great but it really just gives your face a nice healthy glow. This powder can be found at Target for $12.99.

4: Beach babe texturizing sea salt spray from Not Your Mothers- if you’re ever running extremely late and don’t have time to do anything with your hair you can spray a little of this into your hair and scrunch it. It gives you messy waves that look intentional. Did I mention it smells amazing? Perfect for a lazy day or maybe the morning after a Netflix binge. This  hair product can be found at Walmart for $4.74.

5: Volumizing anti-humidity hairspray from Garnier Fructis- for some reason Amarillo hates hair and the weather is programmed to give every girl in the city nightmares about frizzy hair. You get the perfect curls and then you make the mistake of stepping outside. This wonder product helps fight frizz without leaving your hair crunchy or stuff. After your done with styling you can generously spray this on your hair and it holds well, fight frizz, and actually volumizes. This hairspray can be found at Walmart for $3.47.
