Wondering what you need to have in your arsenal to stay looking your absolute best during throughout the semester? Here's my advice on some beauty must-haves!

1. Curling iron/straightener:
This is a must for every college girl born with not-so-perfect hair. Changing up your natural hairstyle is a fun way to dress up for a party, date or night with friends.

2. Concealer:
With so many late study nights (or maybe late not-studying dates), every girl should be ready for those tired under-eyes and a blemish or two.

3. Eye Lash curler/good mascara:
For the same reason that college girls need concealer, a good eyelash curler and mascara can work wonders on a tired face. Curled and defined eyelashes will liven you up and make you appear ready for the day to come.

4. Blush/Bronzer:
It may be much more difficult to get outside and during those long winters, so blush or bronzer could become your new best friend.

5. Face moisturizer:
No matter where you go to school, moisturizer is a must. Dry skin can occur because of weather or stress, both of which affect every college girl.
