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

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • Spring hair bling under $10
  • Get gorgeous spring date night makeup
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?

Omg this will really help in the morning. My school starts early this year. But I hope all this stuff will fit in my locker space.

I haven't got my period yet and people have told me that you can't use a tampon right after your period. that you have to wait or something? So when is it safe and OK to use a tampon?
Please be specific

 

Hey girlie,

You shouldn't use tampons when you don't have your period - it can hurt your insides because it's dry and not as lubricated in there. But if you have your period, you can start using tampons right on your first period if you want to! I use tampons and I usually use a pantyliner on my first day because it's light, then "upgrade" to a tampon on the second day. I use tampons all the way through (super, regular, or light depending on my flow) until it's over for the month Smile

Hi! Ok so I just moved to the suburbs :/ I don't know anyone my age here. I have to go to a new jr high and I went to orientation today. I went to online school before by the way. The jr high is huge and really overwhelming. Also my locker is super tiny,filthy, and my school ID looks horrid. The school also put me in Pre-Algebra instead of Algebra 1! I get to meet my new soccer team today too and I'm nervous! :/ Any tips and or advice?

 

Hey girlie! Be friendly and ask your teammates about themselves- chances are you'll make friends with them pretty quickly since you share a love of soccer.  Everyone looks terrible in their school IDs (trust me, I have years of them to prove it).  If you think you should be in Algebra, talk to a counselor or your math teacher and see what they can do.  As for the gross, tiny locker- brighten it up with some cute pictures and things to keep your stuff off of the shelves and floor of it (like a locker ladder in a cute color).  Good luck! xoxo

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
