Beauty Products We Can’t Live Without

When you are a sorority member, your appearance and how you present yourself to the world is extremely important. Everyone is watching you -- including potential recruits -- and they want to be associated with women who are stylish and well-put-together.

These are some of the beauty products that every sorority girl will likely want to have in her dorm room so that she’s always presenting her best face to the world.

A Quality Cleansing Scrub When your skin starts to look rough, patchy, or blemished, one beauty product you need in your bathroom is a cleansing scrub. You only have to use it every few days, but it can do wonders for your face if you use it regularly. A cleansing scrub will help make your skin look brighter and feel smoother.

Recommendation: Try Acure Brightening Facial Scrub, which is made with sea kelp and other natural ingredients.

Lash Defining or Lengthening Mascara Your eyes are a key element of your beauty and any way that you can accent them will take your look to the next level. One beauty product most women can’t live without is a mascara that either lengths the lashes or separates and defines them (preferably both).

Recommendation: A popular mascara line that will help bring out the beauty of your eyes is Maybelline’s volumizing and lengthening products.

Lip Softening Lipstick or Chapstick There is not much worse than being up close and personal with a potential new member when you have really chapped, cracking lips. You could have on a new sorority jacket or Greek lettered t-shirt and a gleaming gold sorority lettered lavaliere, but all they will remember is how chapped and dry your lips looked! A reliable lip softening lipstick or chapstick is a crucial addition to your beauty product collection.

Recommendation: Try O'Keefe's Lip Repair balm, or Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Lip Gloss if you want a little color.

A Go-To Conditioner The type of shampoo you choose to use is important, but even more significant is the type of conditioner that you use on a regular basis. The conditioner is what ensures that you’ll have shiny healthy hair on a regular basis while on campus, and people (especially other women) tend to notice things like that. Look for a conditioner that is rich in healthy oils such as argan and coconut, as well as biotin and protein. It should make your hair easy to detangle when you’re in a rush to get to class.

Recommendation: There are so many great brands to choose from, but here are a few suggestions: Paul Mitchell, Nexxus, Whole Blends, and Aussie products.

An Easy to Blend Foundation You may not always have time to do a full makeup application each morning before class or before a sorority event. So, another essential beauty product to keep in your makeup bag is an easy to blend foundation. It might be a powder or liquid foundation -- just something that you can put on quickly.

Recommendation: You may find that Bare Minerals and Iman foundations are usually easy to apply and blend when you’re in a hurry. There are certain beauty products that every sorority member in college who cares about her appearance will want to have around. Chances are that you and your chapter sisters will be sharing these products with each other throughout the school year. Looking good while representing your sorority on campus and in the community is key. For quality sorority gifts, clothing, and merchandise, shop GreekU.com
