The new term of uni is in full swing and if you're looking for some makeup and skincare inspo or feel like you could do with a bit of a refresh and reset when it comes to your beauty routine we've got it covered.
If you love all things makeup, skincare, haircare and more but don't want to break the bank you're in luck as you can get a 22% student discount at LOOKFANTASTIC right now to help you save on some new products.
Whether you've had your eye on trying certain products for a while or need some new ideas— we've picked out our fave products that we're loving right now and that we couldn't go without this term.
If you want to smell amazing all day long the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream is worthy of all the love it gets on TikTok. Even though we're entering the coldest months of the year you can smell like summer every day and keep your skin glowing, soft and nourished. If you haven't tried it yet, now's your chance to grab it with a 22% student discount and see what all the hype is about.
We're all guilty of skipping skincare here and there during a busy week, especially on an early morning start after a late night out. We love the Elemis Pro-Collegean Cleansing Balm because of the 3-in-1 formula so you can quickly apply it in your mornings if you're in a rush and really notice the benefits. The formula will start as a cleansing balm, melt away impurities as an oil and then hydrate your skin as a cleansing milk for a smooth and soft feel.
Not to mention— it's great at removing makeup too, so if you fall asleep in your makeup after a night out (we all do it occasionally) you can skip a step in your morning routine and remove your makeup and cleanse at the same time.
Getting your brows right can often be one of the longest steps in your makeup routine which is why we're a fan of any product that will not only speed it up but also keep our brows in place all day and night without needing any touchups.
That holy grail product for us is the Benefit 24-hour Brow Setter, which is a clear brow gel that will shape and tame your brows and lock them in place. You can use it alone or layer it with tinted gel or brow pencils and it's a must for anyone who wants to simplify their makeup routine.
If you want to experiment with a new perfume this term, Parda Paradoxe should be on the top of your list. With crisp notes of neroli and amber, it's a soft floral fragrance for a fresh and long-lasting scent. It comes in the iconic triangular-shaped Prada logo bottle which makes it the perfect size for keeping in your bag for top ups throughout the day.
If you want a hair glow up this term this Color Wow shampoo and conditioner duo is perfect for giving your hair the ultimate refresh. Suitable for normal to thick hair it's great for boosting the vibrancy of dyed hair while the shampoo helps to minimise breakage and the conditioner leaves your hair soft and shiny.
If you want to keep your hair looking perfect between hairdresser appointments, this duo is a must for salon-worthy locks with minimum effort.
Our natural tan has no chance once October hits, but luckily you can be sunkissed all year around thanks to the Coco & Eve natural glow kit. The non-sticky tanning foam will develop into a natural-looking glow within 2 hours while hydrating and smoothing skin at the same time.
Not to mention it has an unreal smell of mango and guava! Plus, you'll also get a velvety soft tanning mitt in the kit to ensure an even and flawless application.
The UK weather does our hair no favours and if you're constantly battling frizz from rain and humidity, the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is a lifesaver.
Not only is it a hair protector to help keep your hair protected and smooth from heat styling, but it's also an anti-humidity spray suitable for all hair types. A few spritzes of this mist will keep your hair looking glossy, shiny and sleek after styling for up to 72 hours and is the perfect final step to your haircare routine this winter.
Last but definitely not least, if there's one product we really can't live without it's the iconic Laura Mercier setting powder for keeping our makeup in place all day and night. Not only will it add a naturally radiant finish to your makeup routine but it will also smooth and subtly blur any imperfections for a flawless photo-ready finish.
The travel size is perfect for keeping in your bag all day for any touchups and is a must-have on nights out.
Hopefully, this has given you some inspo for how you can use your LOOKFANTASTIC student discount and inspired you to try some new products this term. Remember that self-care is important and making time to take care of your hair, body and skin is crucial for stressful periods in your life, so if you're already feeling like your degree is getting on top of you it's the perfect time to treat yourself to some new products to give your daily routine a bit of a glow up.
