The Collegiette’s Guide to College Fashion Week

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

College Fashion Week is upon us, which means designers are bringing their shows to college campuses in New York and Boston. The hottest trends of the season will be unveiled and collegiettes from all around the country will get the VIP experience. They even get to leave with a bag full of swag! 

Are you upset about missing out yet? I know I was. Fear not! Her Campus has teamed with College Fashion Week to provide plenty of swag to go around on our campus! I am about to give you an inside look at some items YOU could win to make it feel almost like you attended CFW yourself!

College Fashion Week is sponsored by some pretty awesome brands, including POPSUGAR, Bed Head by TIGI, It Cosmetics, Ulta Beauty, Spindrift Sparkling Water, and many, many more. These brands have been awesome enough to let Her Campus send out kits with all of the best swag to campuses that aren’t able to attend CFW, and our little mountain campus was the perfect recipient!

Upon opening our box of goodies, an overwhelming excitement came over us as we got to see all of the awesome stuff we get to give away to the lovely people on campus! 

First up, we have It Cosmetics’ Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil! This heavenly tool is a long-wear eyebrow pencil with cutting edge brow enhancing ingredients. It has an oval shaped tip, which makes filling in any eyebrow, no matter the shape or size, a breeze. It matches any hair color and hides grays like nothing else! New to filling in your brows? No worries, it even includes a brow guide to get the perfect look! 

Next, we have a POPSUGAR Must Have Box! This may be one of the most exciting things that came in our kit! It is a monthly subscription box full of amazing comsmetics with up to a $100 value for only $39.95 a month!

Spindrift Sparkling Water sent their product, which is sparkling water flavored with real fruit. Can you believe that? No added preservatives or artificial junk, just fruit and water! There is no better way to beat a soda craving than to enjoy a Spindrift. 

Bed Head by TIGI really spoiled us. They included travel size Masterpiece Shine Hairspray, which adds body, resists humidity, and gives your hair an amazing shine while holding it in place. What could be better on windy Fall days here in Boone? We also have a mini 1/2 inch Electric Green Flat Iron! This baby fits perfectly in your bag for a quick touch up on a night out or at any special event! It is also perfect for bangs or short hair. Last, but not least in our Bed Head lineup, we have a 1 inch Curlipops Tourmaline Ceramic Styling Iron. This tool gives your hair shine, body, and texture, and it is SO easy to use. 

Finally, we have a TON of swag from Ulta Beauty, but you’ll have to wait to find out what that is! We have to keep some things a surprise, right?? Just know that Ulta Beauty is one of the top cosmetic retailers in the country, and for good reason. They carry so many brands at a great price. I definitely buy all of my makeup and hair products from Ulta when I get the chance to visit one! Our little mountain town may not have an Ulta Beauty, but Her Campus has provided us with a great spread of products to share with our campus!

Keep a lookout on our social media pages to see how you can win some of these irresistable prizes! Trust us, you won’t want to miss out on one of our biggest giveaways to date! We are so excited to share these products with you! Be sure to follow us on Instagram at @hcappstate and on Twitter at @HCAppState to see how you can win!
