LUCY lovers, we know it’s almost time for you to hang up your party shoes and head back into school for another year of learning, growing, and new experiences, and we know how anxiety-inducing that first day can be! Even if you’re going back to the same school you’ve always been, a good first day can really set the tone for the rest of the year, and make the journey back into school seem so much less daunting.
To help you on your first day back, here’s what to haul:
Lightweight, with super soothing panthenol, and fast-drying, tame your brows and nourish your lashes with this multiuse gel, providing a natural finish that’ll last you all the way from the morning assembly to home time, with no touch-ups needed! Bonus: it’s so subtle that nobody can even tell you’re wearing anything!
A good lip-gloss is a must-have for every day, and back to school is an extra-special occasion! We’ve been loving this Juicy Bomb lip-gloss all summer: it’s light, non-greasy, available in five gorgeous shades including a clear, and has the most beautiful shine.
essence’s Lash Princess series of mascaras is a must-have for any makeup enthusiast, but for back to school, the only one that should be in your wallet at all times is False Lash Effect Mascara. It’s entirely waterproof, which means that by the end of your PE session, your mascara will still be on your face, regardless of how hard you worked. It has a conical brush for that extra-long lash effect, and is entirely fragrance free for sensitive eyes!
Need something to make your eyes pop, but you don’t want to smudge your perfect liner when you rub your eyes in the morning? We’re giving it up to essence again: their liquid ink eyeliner is oh-so-dark, oh-so-sleek, and oh-so-waterproof that we guarantee you’ll still have it on by the end of the day - and the teeny tiny tip makes it so easy to apply your winged liner of choice.
If you start early in the morning, you’re not going to feel up to putting on your foundation – after all, a few extra minutes of beauty sleep is so important! Here’s a product specifically for those LUCY lovers who want their skin to stun, but also love their bed - essence’s Magic Filter Glow Booster, a soft-focus foundation/primer combo that is light enough to apply with your fingers, and good enough to even out your skin tone with a subtle glow. Available in four shades, but it can be easily blended out to fit a much wider range of skintones – and while it’s intended to be worn alone, you can also wear it underneath makeup for a much stronger coverage.
If you can’t go a day without sparkle - we understand, we’re the same way! - what you need is an eyeshadow palette that’s got the kind of shiny, subtle glitter you can pop on with a finger in the car. The essence Rose Edition eyeshadow palette is perfect for this: it’s got a series of gradient nude shades that can add a multi-dimensional glow to your eyes, whether you opt for just a little touch in the inner corner, or a full rose-toned lid.
For a quick little pick me up in a can, our Reebok body mist range is fantastic. They work to restore a sense of calm and relaxation in you and make you feel like you've just won a race. Pick from five excellent scents, and pop one in your bag for on-the-go!
We love a skincare/makeup moment, and Pixi is one of our favourites: their on-the-glow moisturiser is formulated with ginseng, aloe vera, and vitamin D2 to condition and hydrate while also giving you a little glow, and it’s so travel sized and compact that you can keep it in your pocket!
You know how it goes: after a week of looking at books and whiteboards and studying, your under-eyes start looking too dark to cover with concealer. No more! With Everyday for Future Eye Patches, you can tap on one of the six single-use patches on your under-eyes, take a fifteen minute nap, and wake up looking refreshed and ready to go! PS: these are also great as a little pick-me-up on the weekend.
We’re humble enough to admit that the best part of back to school is buying new stationery: the smell of new notebooks, pens, and sticky notes is a great form of perfume! This year, you can start your back to school journey with LUCY-branded pens and sticky notes, and, we have to say it, they look fantastic sitting on desks. We also have other branded notebooks which are just as good - this Designworks Ink Crest Kraft Twin wire notebook is one of our favourites!
There you have it, LUCY lovers, your full haul line-up for back to school. Did we miss your favourite product? Is there something else you’re picking up in preparation that we didn’t talk about? Write in and tell us all about it!
