Classes are about to begin and chances are the dorm-bound coed in your life has a mini-fridge and a microwave high on her must-have list. But what about the day to day products she’ll need to feel fresh for that 8 a.m. class? Beauty Collection has everything today’s college student needs to look her best, whether she’s just off to the cafeteria or going to an evening formal. When putting together the ultimate beauty kit for your favorite college girl, here’s a handy checklist to get you started:

Bath Items

Stock that oh-so-vital shower caddy with everything she needs to stay fresh. Along with her favorite shampoo and conditioner, add a scented body wash such as 100% Pure’s Fresh Squeezed Pink Grapefruit Juicy Shower Gel. Don’t forget a razor and shaving gel like the rose-scented cream from The Art of Shaving for Women.

Hair Care

In addition to her preferred styling products, she’s going to need hardware to keep her hair looking fabulous all day. For dorm living, choose hair dryers and styling irons that are reliable but not too expensive [in case they go missing]. Beauty Collection also stocks a variety of hairbrushes including Bio Ionic’s nano-ionic brushes to help speed up the drying time before that early morning class. Remember to pack hair accessories like headbands and bobby pins too.

Nail Care

Most students don’t have the extra cash to spend on a professional manicure or pedicure—so give her what she needs to do it herself. Stock up on hot fall colors like Manicurist of Seville and Conquistadorable Color from OPI’s España Collection. And don’t forget the JAPONESQUE Manicure Set which includes tweezers, nail clippers, cuticle scissors and a nail file—all in an adorable pink tote.

Foundation/Blush

Mineral-based foundations and blushes from Stript will give her the flawless look she wants without the parabens. Made from marine botanicals, these foundations and blushes are formulated with the antioxidants A, C & E to help naturally moisturize the face.

Skincare

Breakouts aren’t unusual for the college crowd, especially during finals week, so include a complete acne regimen like Dr. Murad’s Acne Complex Kit. [For more on keeping blemishes at bay, see our "Bye, Bye Breakouts" post.] Also pack her favorite moisturizer such as Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration [SPF 15] and hand lotion to prevent chapping.

Lipgloss

This coed staple gives lips a natural fresh look for any time of day. Give her a variety of fun colors for every occasion and look for ones with shimmer like Stila Lip Glaze.

Eye Makeup

Today’s college coeds go with a natural daytime look with a little something extra for night [think Emma Watson—the university-bound star favors dramatic eyeliner for evening premieres]. For daytime eyeshadow, go with soft colors like Starlight or Kitten from Stila and try smokier shades from the Stila Smokey Eye Collection for night.

Smile Care

To keep those pearlies white, she’ll need dental floss, toothpaste and a toothbrush for starters. Add a travel-sized mouthwash like GoSMILE Touch-Ups so that she can freshen up between classes.

Odds and Ends

Don’t forget to stock up on must-have items like cotton balls and swabs, bandages and facial tissue. Add a set of makeup brushes such as the Japonesque Touch Up Tube Brush Set to round out her beauty kit.

Storage

Storage space is at a premium, especially for dorm dwellers, so help her organize her beauty supplies. A cute makeup case like the Japonesque Medium Train Case with accordion trays can store everything she needs [and more!] without taking up valuable drawer space.
