Products to Help You ~Sleigh~ Finals Week

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

I can almost hear the distant carols and taste the peppermint hot chocolate, but this cheery holiday bliss is still just out of reach. Finals week is still in full swing, and it’s as exhausting as ever. When the song says “making a list and checking it twice,” it could probably be talking about our to-do lists. But luckily, these great products from the Winter Survival Kit will help you sleigh all your finals. 

1. For when you need to de-stress…

Too stressed to function? Hit the gym and break a sweat! Find your zen in yoga class, bust a move in Zumba, or just go for a run. And with these #ActuallySheCan tanks made in partnership with Le Motto, you’ll look cute and confident during your workout. They’re soft, breathable, and printed with awesome slogans like “Less regret, more sweat,” “Less drama, more karma,” and “Less hesitation, more motivation.” Because everyone knows exercise is great for endorphins, but a cute athletic outfit never hurts.

2. For when you need to cover up the all-nighter you just pulled…

Procrastinators, we’ve all been here. With Fast Fix for Puffy Eyes from Alba Botanica®, you’ll be looking like you had a great night’s sleep in no time…even when you were hitting the books until 7am. With natural ingredients like cucumber, green tea, and caffeine, this is the wake-up call your eyes have been craving.

3. For when even your hands are cracking under the pressure…

Winter is dry, and the library isn’t known for doing your skin any favors. If your hands start to get too dry, slather on a bit of this Cloudberry & Lychee Blossom hand cream from Being Beauty. As an added bonus, the yummy scent will help you stay focused as you keep on working. 

4. For when it feels like your life is falling apart…

There’s always Krazy Glue to put you back together again.  In all seriousness, definitely don’t use this on your skin, but if you’ve got something that needs a quick fix, Krazy Glue All Purpose Singles have your back. These single-use tubes are perfect for getting just the right amount you need without any waste. 

5. For when you conquered that last final and you’re ready to get as lit as your Christmas tree…

Makeup from Tarte can take you from day to night, no questions asked. The Tarteist™ PRO Palette includes 16 matte shades and 4 duochrome metallic shadows, so whether you’re feeling too glam to give a damn or more low-key slay, this palette has options for you. After you get the blending just right, add a layer of the cult favorite Lights, Camera, Lashes™ mascara. It’s a perfect product to finish off your look that won’t clump, flake, or trash your lashes.

Finals week is almost over, everyone.
