Her Campus Survival Kits

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

Honestly, god bless Her Campus.  We just recieved our Her Campus Survial Kits that will help up gather strength to get through finals and to get to the holidays.  

 

First off, we have the Leaders Cosmetics face masks.  They’re amazing.  It’s formal season and if you want your skin looking its absolute best, trust me and use these.  We received three masks: the Amazonian Acai Anti-pollution (perfect for those of us living in a city aka Hartford), Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask, and the Kalahari Melon Moisturizing masks.

The Acai Anti-pollution purifies your skin cleaning out all the toxins wedged in your pores.  No Coconut calming masks is perfect for fixing the redness and dryness in your skin – basically the havoc that the winter puts on your skin (it’s also great for the summer with helping to calm the effects from prolonged sun exposure.)  The Moisturizing mask is infused with berries and as someone who loves berry facials, this is a much more affordable version of those. 

 

The Pure Silk shaving helps you get such a close shave.  Whether its your legs or pits, this cream will get you a great shave while also helping to prevent razor burn/bumps (because who wants those??)  An added bonus: this can is rust-proof, so no more gunk left at the bottom of your shower caddy!

 

The Rimmel London Cosmetics are life savers.  Firstly, the Scandaleyes Original Mascara ($6.99) is basically clump-proof with a plump brush for maximum volume and length.  No smudging and long wear – win, win.  Pair it with the Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner ($4.59) for your best look.  The Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Colour ($7.49) stays on forever (yes, even after 4 voda crans at the tap) and its practically weightless.  It come in 7 shades.  Lastly, we have the Natural Bronzer ($6.29) that comes in three shades for whatever skin tone!  Who needs a real tan when you can fake a glow with this bronzer?

 

Now, I know the world is full of coffee drinkers, but hear me out:

Yogi Tea’s Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy and Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life are much better substitute to coffee.  This tea combines 100 exotic spices and flavors.  These teas help support energy levels (hello, finals) and lead an active lifestyle. 

 

Book of the Month’s choice: The Wangs Vs. The World by Jade Chang

The Book of the Month Club is an excellent way to get a highly recommended book choice for those of us who want a book of substance but never are really sure about what to expect from a book.  The members of the club choose the book they want to receive and pay only $9.99 a month (that’s cheaper than what most books cost on their own.)  This is a fantastic way to discover books outside of the classroom, which we all know is a lot harder than it seems.
