Quick Essentials: College Edition

It’s back to college week with the ChevronDuo! Even though Sukanya goes to school, in the near future it’s time for her to go to college and watching Akshita she has a fair idea of what one needs J

Akshita : Summer is over, and mostly all of us are ready to get back to college and fall back into our regular routines. And for some of us, it is an exciting time as you might just be joining in! But before starting up a new year at college, we all have a few essentials that we need to get ready. Being a student of Delhi University, I am well aware that the harsh sunlight and long days call for some important necessities that each one of us needs to have.

So here are some quick essentials which are a must to get ready and going for college.

As we all know how dramatic India can be, why not join in with the fun with some drama in the eyes with the help of a kajal/ kohl stick. But India is not just dramatic, its uber hot too. So a lip balm with SPF and a good sunscreen are a must have for every student.

Our Essentials

Sometimes you just make a random plan to go out to beat the boredom of classes and at that time a nice lip gloss can be your saving grace for a quick little makeover. A little colour on the lip and you’re ready to go! Just for a fresh and happy scent a deodorant is very important – roll on or spray – both work! We recommend the roll on as it stays on longer and is a safer choice for you.

Kajal - Maybelline Collosal Kajal
Lip Balm - Born Lippy (Body Shop)
- Baby lips (Maybelline)
Lip gloss -Chambor (661 Intense)
-Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon

Do not forget to buy yourself a good hydrating face wash, cleansing milk or rose water. I use the face wash every morning and alternate between rose water and cleansing milk once I get back. This is very important to keep your skin clean and spot free!

Also, yes, we do need a pen and a notebook. Get a cute one to make you smile every time you sit in a boring class J
