BTS Beauty Basics: Exactly what to stash in your locker!

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • Get gorgeous spring date night makeup
  • Beauty Spy: Fresh faced and simple Ann Marie E.
We’ve all been there: You’re running late for school, roll out of bed and have no time to even think about getting presentable. Never fear! We’ve got the ultimate list of products you need this year for an emergency locker stash. A quick swipe of this, a dash of that, and you’re ready to hit first period!

 

Perfect pout

Moisturize your lips in a pinch and add a bit of polish. A little bit of pink lipgloss can go a long way in pulling your look together. 

 

Wet ‘n’ Wild MegaSlicks Lip Gloss in In a Tutu, $2, drugstore.com

 

Eye-mazing

Got two tired peepers? Two quick coats of black mascara will make you look wide-awake and ready to go, even on Monday morning. Groan.

 

Covergirl Last Blast Volume Mascara in Very Black, $7, cvs.com 

 

No sweat

Don’t sweat over an early morning when you are prepared with sweet-smelling deodorant in your locker. Head to the girl’s room to apply, then talk to your crush without fear of smelling stinky. 

 

Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Anti-Perspirant Deodorant in Pomegranate, $5, cvs.com

 

Bad hair day?

Quickly style a no-nonsense pony or topknot, even on your worst hair day. Pull your hair up in a pretty band that also does double-duty as a cute bracelet!
 

Goody Double Wear 2-in-1 Ponytailer bracelets, $6, walgreens.com

 

Well-prepped period

Period caught you by surprise at school? You won’t be worried at all with a stash of portable tampons or pads in your locker.

 

Tampax Compak Pearl, $5, drugstore.com

 

Sweet scent

Need a splash of your fave scent? Grab a travel-size fragrance. It’s tiny enough to stash in your locker, but still provides you with your signature scent on the spot. Score!

 

Philosophy Amazing Grace Fragrance, $15, sephora.com

 

Shine control

Sweaty after gym class? Clean up with some blotting papers to help control the shine. This set boasts lavender oil to soothe stress, too!

 

Sephora Collection Blotting Papers in Lavender, $8, sephora.com 

 

A couple pick-me-ups stored in your locker can brighten your day! So babes, what do you think is a must-have locker beauty product?

I have REALLY dark circles under my eyes. I'm not sure why. No one else in my family does, I'm not super stressed, and I get enough sleep. What can I do to fade them! I cover them with makeup, but no amount will cover them enough to a good level, they're still really dark when I put on concealer( both yellow to correct the purpleness and regular to blend it) and powder. Help!!

Hey girl,

Try using an eye cream in the mornings and night to help fade your dark circles, and make sure you're getting enough water and eating plenty of veggies!

My Mom isn't thrilled about the fact I want to wear makeup. I'm going into 7th grade and I really want to wear makeup. I don't even want to wear a lot. Just like blush,lipgloss,mascara and maybe a neutral eyeshadow. I feel like this year all the girls in my grade will wear makeup.Any suggestions for how to get my mom to let me wear makeup or suggestions for what type of makeup to wear if i am allowed to?

 

Hey girly! I'd make a compromise with you mom and start by only wearing some of that! I'd suggest mascara and lipgloss! That's the perfect amount of make-up for someone in 7th grade! xoxo

I have a uniform shirt and my deodorant is roll-on and the liquid from it rubs onto my shirt, what do I do?




Hey girl! Maybe it's time to check out a new deodorant! Talk to your mom or friends about which brands they like! Brands like degree, secret, and dove are normally great! xoxo

This is going to sound really stupid, but... what are split ends???I mean, I know what they are, but then I don't.

 

Hey girl! It isn't stupid at all! Split ends are when the end of your individual hairs literally splits into different sections.  It can happen from breaking your hair, from having really dry hair, or for a bunch of other reasons! xoxo

Next week we're starting swim PE in school and I'm supposed to have my period then. I've never used a tampon before, and I'm kind of scared to try it, but I don't want to seem like a wimp on the first day of swim PE. I'm not really sure what to do...please help!!!

 

Hey girlie,

You shouldn't really practice with tampons if you don't have your period, so sit tight. Read our tampon guide (http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/10/08/How-To-Use-Tampon.aspx) and be prepared for when your next period starts. When it starts, give it a try. Remember that those muscles have to get used to it, so it might feel a little uncomfy at first. But if you want to swim during gym (and don't want to skip off to the nurse's office all the time), it's SO worth figuring it out! <3 (Plus, I use tampons and they are soooo much better than pads. Cleaner, quicker, and way more comfy!)
