Treat Yourself Post-Finals With The HC Survival Kit

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois chapter.

You actually did it! After endless hours spent in the basement of the UGL poring over a semester’s worth of notes and finally opening those overpriced textbooks, you’ve made it through the most dreaded week for college students everywhere. Who cares if you considered dropping out twice, calculated the lowest possible grades for your finals to still pass, and let your physical and emotional health slip just a little. Because all that matters now is that it’s over. You can officially celebrate all your hard work and prioritize what’s really important: YOU.

Maybe you want to hit up KAMs for a few (or more) celebratory blue guys one last time before heading home for the holidays, no one’s judging. But, you could avoid that massive hangover the next day and take some time to relax and recharge with the Her Campus Survival Kit, courtesy of our very generous sponsors who clearly understand what it means to de-stress!

Read on to see how you can ease into winter break and handle all those post-finals feels with various sponsored goodies from our Her Campus giveaway!

When you’re recovering from that finals week caffeine binge…

Yogi tea offers the perfect warm solution with added nutritional and health benefits to help regain your sense of wellbeing and completely rejuvenate your self-care routine. Sip on Yogi’s Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life or Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy tea to support your wellness goals this year with refreshing activity and energy boosts. Yogi tea is just what you need after a week of several late night study sessions and consuming enough Espresso Royale to last a lifetime…or at least until next finals week.

When you’re trying to resell those barely used textbooks for a little extra cash before the holidays…

Why not pick up a book you’ll actually enjoy reading with Book of the Month, or BOTM for short. BOTM is dedicated to providing its members with the latest and greatest book each month outside of that sometimes tedious classroom reading material. Luckily, BOTM gifted us with a free month of their service, bookmarks, a book, and beach bag for all that new swag just to GIVE to YOU! But, if you’re already a self-described “book-lover” and know BOTM is the ideal complement to a relaxing winter break, use the code HERCAMPUS30 for 30% off a 3-month membership and a free tote when you sign up here!

When you’re dreaming of an exotic mini vacation…

Leader Cosmetics Coconut Gel sheet masks are exactly what you desire to beat the cold-weather blues. Don’t get me wrong, the quad is absolutely picture-perfect this time of year, but the Midwest climate can be a little tricky to manage sometimes. Escape to the rainforest in Brazil with Leader Cosmetic’s 7-Wonders Amazonian Acai Anti-pollution Mask and travel to a warmer place in the comfort of your own home with the 7-Wonders Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask. Or, just take care of that pesky winter dryness with their 7-Wonders Kalahari Melon Moisturizing Mask for skin that looks and feels great.

When you’re reminiscing about that effortless summer glow…

Add some light to your complexion using Rimmel London’s Natural Bronzer for the same flawless shine with 3 toasty shades: Sun Light, Sun Bronze, and Sun Dance. After days spent in the sunless basement of the UGL, Rimmel’s bronzer is sure to restore your natural radiance.

When final grades have been posted…

Rimmel London is also here to save you from the inevitable waterworks and a total makeup disaster with their Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner. Once the obligatory tears have been shed, revitalize your look and get ready to conquer with Rimmel’s ScandalEyes Original Mascara for extra volume and wear that will outlast any new challenge headed your way.

When you need a little extra love and care…

Pure Silk has got your back and will leave you feeling good all over. While no one will ever know if you haven’t shaved in awhile during the winter, Pure Silk in Raspberry Mist will make your legs softer and smoother than regular soap and water. So go on and indulge because you definitely deserve it. Plus, you can even enter to win a fun-filled ‘Love Your Legs Getaway’ to Colorado for you and a friend here!

And finally when you unexpectedly find yourself underneath the mistletoe this year…

Pucker up with Rimmel London’s Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Colour available in 7 flirty shades such as ‘Make Your Move’ and ‘Kiss Fatal’ for a storybook ending to an amazing night, and an even better holiday season.
