Since July is Cosmo Campus and Cool Career Month, we want to equip you with the latest beauty arsenal to help you look your best as you get to know new classmates or coworkers this month. You can only make one first impression, right? Make it a good one with these fab products we've pooled together to help ease you beautifully into your study or work environment.

Makeup That Lasts

No matter what your course or school is, you'll most certainly spend long hours interacting with new people (probably while walking/running from one building to the next). And, if you're already a busy working gal, you don't always have time for touchups! Make sure the makeup you worked so hard to apply in the morning lasts you all day and night by opting for long-wearing formulations. Look for foundations that won't budge, waterproof mascaras, and lip tints in fun yet professional colors that give you a just-bitten look. Make your makeup multi-task by getting those with sun protection!

Stress-Free Skin Care

At the end of the day, curb the urge to just crash into bed, and remember to rinse off all the makeup, dirt, and oil that accumulated on your face. Get a gentle makeup remover and natural cleansers to ensure your skin is well cared for. Remember to give your eyes some TLC, too: Dab on nourishing eye cream to prevent and treat dark circles!

Hair And Body Treats

Care for your skin all over, too, and not just on your face. Use vitamin-enriched soaps that don't leave a greasy finish, and naturally-fragranced lotions that soften and protect your skin. Make that handshake truly remarkable, not just because it's firm, but also because your hands are smooth and pleasantly scented.

Your hair also makes a bigger impression than you think. It's one of the things people notice right away, so keep your mane healthy with organic hair products, serums, and occasional pampering treatments.

Sweet And Sexy Scents

Smell is one of the most powerful memory triggers, so make sure yours is a pleasant one. We're currently loving summer-reminiscent scents because we know how much you want to bring back fun, energetic, and carefree memories of sunny days. And, when the weather gets humid because of an impending storm, you don't want to spritz anything too heavy.

Sales And Celebrations

Summer sales may be over, but you can still avail of great deals on beauty products. The Body Shop has extended its "Festive At 15" sale until July 28, in honor of its 15th anniversary in the Philippines. Get discounts on favorites like Nature's Minerals makeup range, Body Butters, and a lot more in participating branches (we checked out the one at Greenhills Shopping Center)!

Nivea is also celebrating 100 years of caring for skin around the world! The brand recently released a TV commercial commemorating a century of trusted skincare, with a soundtrack by their newest spokeswoman, Rihanna. Check out the video here.

And, you can enjoy free gifts when you shop at Etude House this July! For minimum purchases starting at P500 up to P3,000, you can receive adorable freebies like cartoon bookmarks, pouches, umbrellas, cleansers, and a sauna kit! They make a great addition to your school or work bag essentials!
