If you’re a college student beauty maven, you understand the importance of finding these beauty products to keep your skin fresh and glowing. Here’s some of my top beauty picks that won’t break your piggy bank. (Note: Prices may vary due to where they are purchased)
1. Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream, $5.99
If you’re a dry-skinned girl, this is an amazing moisturizer. This makes your skin feel silky smooth. And a little goes a long way, so you get a lot of product for the price!
2. Dove Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo, $3.99
This is a must-have dry shampoo for the days in between washes. It’s a great choice as a styling product too. It gives great volume to your hair. The smell is amazing and leaves no dandruff-like powder in your hair. Definitely a great product to refresh your hair throughout the hot summer days!
3. Formula 10.0.6 Best Face Forward Daily Foaming Cleanser, $5.99
This pleasant-smelling cleanser is amazing to refresh your skin at the end of the day. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin. If you’re acne prone this likely won’t work for you, but if you need a regular daily cleanser, this is perfect!
4. Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray, $5.99
Get ready for perfect beach hair without the beach! This spray helps your hair get the perfect beach day texture with some simple spraying, scrunching, and drying. A little bit of hairspray to finish off, and everyone will think you just left the beach.
5. Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Oil Control Makeup Fixing Spray, $8.00
Spritz this on your makeup to keep it looking fresh and on point all day long! It has a nice spray range and the mist is very fine, so you’re able to easily cover your whole face. The price is great for the size!
6. Outlast XTEND Clear Gel Deodorant, $4.29
Okay, this may not be a beauty product, but it will be your BFF during the summer months. It’s a gel deodorant, so you won’t have any of those dreaded white stains on your clothes. It lasts all day (and trust me, if a deodorant can last all day here in the South, it definitely works). Just a few swipes and you’re good to go!
7. E.l.f. Aqua Beauty Radiant Gel Lip Stain, $4.00
Get ready for a beautiful pout! This lip stain is a great way to put color on your lips without committing to a heavy lipstick. You could even use it as a cheek color to get more bang for your buck! With several colors to choose from, you have multiple options to perfect your summer glow.
