The usual back-to-school shopping trip includes supplies like pencils, notebooks, lunch bags, tissues, and hand sanitizer. This year we included ChapStick®, America’s favorite lip balm, as the newest must-have addition to school backpacks, even for my son! This year was quite new as we sent our oldest off to college. We included a few packs of ChapStick® for her beauty regimen along with keeping it in her school bag to reapply throughout the day.
ChapStick® is a skincare staple that helps keep lips smooth and silky all school year long. Outside of school, you can find it in each one of our cars, in my purse, in my son’s sports bags, my daughters’ dance bags and everywhere in between. It’s surprising how much mouth breathing you do during physical education, basketball and baseball, and dance class, that reapplying ChapStick® to dry lips for moisture is necessary.
Added bonus, ChapStick® provides a skin protectant sunscreen of SPF 12 and that’s important while living in California. It’s been recommended by our doctors to wear a sunscreen all year in our state and we can’t neglect lip care either. My son enjoys the classic original, my girls and I love the fruit scents. I adore the Aloha coconut best because of my huge affinity to the Hawaiian islands.
ChapStick® is so affordable, easy to use, easy to carry around and it gives your lips the soothing feeling they crave. ChapStick® is available in many varieties and now can also be purchased on Chapstick®’s new online store! You’re never more than a click away from healthier looking lips. Please note: there is a minimum quantity requirement of 3 items in order to proceed with checkout.

One end of the pencil even includes a smudger tip to blend harsh lines. In my opinion, the eyeliner is great for thicker lines. For me it was hard to create a thin line, I usually use a makeup remover wipe to wipe away the larger line and it didn’t work well this time without smudging.
I coat my lashes with the CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara until I see the desired look. I have long lashes already (thanks Dad) and the goal is to get them to really pop! The LashBlast line have been my favorite mascaras since before I can remember. This mascara is made with a patented volume-boost hypoallergenic formula, which is fabulous as that I have had some reactions to other makeup products. The mascara with the eyeliner especially gives the look of bolder, longer, and thicker lashes. For $10 we got both the mascara and eyeliner!
Finally, I finish the look off with the CoverGirl CG Smoothers Pressed Powder ($9.99)in Translucent. Pressed powder reduces the appearance of redness, oiliness, and overall smooths out your complexion! I tend to get oily in the t-zone like my mom does so it’s interesting in even makeup how genetics plays out. I like the powder, it’s not too heavy, hasn’t clogged my pores, and lasts most of the day! I have freckles and I like them, so the powder blots the oil without covering them up!
What my mom loves is that I don’t look like I have a ton of makeup on. She loves how my eyes stand out and I still look really natural.
