School Essentials!

Hello :)
I decided that i would write a list of the things that i keep in what i call my emergency bag which i keep in my school bag also what i keep in my school pocket (my uniform only has one pocket!!). My friends at the start of the year did mock my emergency bag but they all used something out of it and that to me is a win :)

Mine is just a small zip up bag and it fits perfectly in the little front pocket of my school bag the things that are inside are:
- Girl things! I am not going to explain what this is but girls i'm sure you know what i mean. I keep these in a smaller zip up back just for extra secrecy. These are useful for obvious reasons and if your friend needs one you will always have one spare.
- A dry shampoo. These are soooooo handy if you have sport and need it or if your hair is just a bit flat and lifeless it can change that with a quick spray.
- A small black and brown eyeliner. I found this super handy as i occasionally went out after school and it can help transform from school to out and about. Also i had quite a rough year so i was crying heaps and it was so good to be able to fix your eye makeup to look less like you've just been crying.
- A little hairbrush. I have this super cute little flip out one that has a mini mirror on it. I don't think i would've lived without this, you can use it if you need to put your hair up because its bugging you or just to quickly go through your hair to fix it.
- At least two hair ties and some bobby pins. I just through these around the hairbrush so as i said if you need to change what your hair looks like or you need to fix a bit you can.
- A body spray. I don't do any sport or p.e at school so i don't use an antiperspirant at school only in the morning so i just take a body spray incase i want a little spritz.
- A small pack of tissues. I find that all classes don't have tissues in them and you never know when you need one.
- Hand sanitizer. I have been through too many experiences of touching someone's gum that they have put under the desk so having this in your bag to be clean is a live saver.
- Sunscreen. Seems weird but you never know when you need it.
- Plasters. Again who knows when you need them.
- Panadol. I get bad migraines and cramps so panadol on me will be so helpful. Remember to keep it in the packet incase teachers see it, having the packet makes it easier to explain.
- At least 2 spare pens. Self-explanatory.

Now for in my skirt pocket.
- A packet of gum. Great for after eating or if you are self-conscious of you breath as i am constantly.
- A lip balm. I get really bad chapped lips in particular when its windy so i keep a lip balm close to me at all times.
- My phone. I read on my phone and just for security i need it near me.
- My keys. Self explanatory haha

Those are the things that i keep in my school bag and my pocket to survive school. You obviously need your school books, planer, lunch all those important things too!

Until next time, Be happy and stay gorgeous :3 xxx

My morning routine (before school)

Hey Guys!
Today i want to talk about my school morning routine like the order i do things in, what makeup products i use, how i do my hair just all those general mundane things of my morning. Mostly focussed on my makeup.

My school is a uniformed public school that you aren't allowed to wear makeup (yes I'm naughty i do) the school day starts officially at 8.40am and most buses arrive after 8.20am, i get driven in by my mum before she starts work at 8am so i get to school at about 7.55am.

6.40am - My first alarm goes off, i am super bad at getting up in the morning haha. My first alarm is on my alarm clock which is about 2 metres away from my bed meaning i have to get out to turn it off, i then get back into bed.
6.50am - My second alarm goes off, this one is just on my phone which is on my bed so i just turn it off haha, after this one goes off i normally go on facebook on my phone and check what happened during the night.
7.00am - My third alarm goes off and i finally get up! I now do all the things that I'm not going to go into detail like go to the bathroom ect. I will also have my breakfast and a glass of soy milk then brush my teeth and wash my face with just cold water.
7.10am - I go back into my room and get into my school blouse, skirt and socks. Before i get dressed i will normally put on music, i find this gets me into a good mood before school so i really recommend it. If you have other people in your house that are still sleeping just have it quiet enough that only you can hear it and if possible have it playing from your phone or ipod but without a speaker, this makes it easier to have it quieter and if you move around your room you can take it with you.
7.20am - I will now sit at my duchess and start my makeup. If i have any spots i'll put on clearasil ultra rapid action pimple cream.
- First thing i put on my face is moisturizer; olay complete uv protection moisture lotion for sensitive skin, this may not be the best moisturizer out but it's cheap lasts ages and does the job. I work this in with my fingers.
- Next is concealer i use the rimmel wake me up concealer, i put this under my eyes to cover my dark circles, around my nose, on my nose, between my eyebrows, under my lips and a little on my cheeks. This gives me a full cover as i am quite insecure about how i look and it gives me a confidence boost. i work it in with a artiste professional creme blush/bronzer brush.
- I then put on a tinted moisturizer; neutrogena healthy defense daily moisturizer with a light tint. I use this as it doesn't clump and go cakey throughout the day and because i'm not actually allowed makeup at school it gives a more natural look. I blend this with a thin lizzy brush, not the best brush again but it does what i need.
- I use a australis fresh and flawless pressed powder in the shade Deep Natural just to set my makeup slightly. I really like this powder as it is easy to apply and doesn't go cakey over the day. To put this on i use a artiste professional stippling brush.
- At this stage i put on a lip balm; Tui Lip Balme. I really like this as it is completely natural, made from beeswax and it works miracles i swear. I put it on now as i have finished my skin makeup and i will move onto eyes before lips so it gives a chance to set in before i do my lips.
- Onto eyes, i do a very natural eye look that i feel makes them look better. I use a lancome Le Stylo eyeliner in the colour 301 Amethyst. I just do this lightly on my waterline. Then i use a thin lizzy brown eyeliner on my waterline in the outer corner very lightly. I then blend the two together with the blendy thing on the end of my lancome eyeliner. I will quickly use my lacross eyelash curler to lightly curl my eyelashes, i do this because i frequently get my lashes tinted blue black so i don't need to use a mascara.
- If my eyebrows are looking slightly sparse i will use the same brown eyeliner to fill them in slightly and brush them through with an eyebrow brush.
- Back to my lips i use a very light covering of Elizabeth Ardens number 25 Starlight just to give slight colour to my lips.
7.40am - Time to start on my hair! I sleep with my hair down so i'll just comb through it and comb the front pieces back and pin them, this allows me to be looking down at my books all day without having hair in my face. If i feel like it i will go through the pieces that are down with a flat iron to set them. I don't do much to my hair in the morning as i shower at night and if i feel like it then i will straighten it fully before i sleep which makes it easier to handle quickly in the morning.
7.50am - I pack my lunch before i got to sleep so i just need to get it out and put it into my school bag before i leave. Last five minutes before i have to leave i will put my school jumper on, my shoes and i will use a spray either a perfume or just a body mist then out i go :)

I hope this was interesting and gave you some insight into how i manage things before school.

Until next time, be happy and stay gorgeous :3 xxx
