It’s the end of March, and although everyone’s stressed about finals and projects, we can also see the light at the end of this tunnel: Spring Break! Luckily, our Her Campus Spring Break Survival Kit came just in time to boost our spirits during the long, exhausting weeks before the pre-Short Term break. The contents are amazing.

1. Alba Botanica® Hawaiian Green Tea Sunscreen

As much as we love the sun, we need to protect our skin from harmful UV Rays, and we love that this sunscreen is both coral reef safe and biodegradable.

2. Almay Shadow Squad™ Eyeshadow

The colors in these palettes are so gorgeous and perfect for Springtime makeup looks. They’ve got four finishes in each palette: satin, matte, metallic, and glitter, so they’re great for any and every occasion.

3. Bed Head Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray and Get Twisted Anti-Frizz Finishing Spray

With warmer weather comes frizz, so it’s great to have something to combat the halo effect frizzy hair can give. Also, love having a full, bouncy ponytail as the temperature rises.

4. Buxom Cosmetics Va-Va-Plump Shiny Liquid Lipstick in Wine Me

You all, this lipstick is so beautiful. It goes on so smoothly and it stays on your lips for such a long time, it’s amazing. Plus, the color looks great on so many different skin tones.

5. Krazy Glue All Purpose Singles

I’ve definitely been in situations when I’ve wished I could fix something but didn’t have the tools for it. These single-use tubes could be so handy when something breaks and you’re out and about (anyone else struggle with sunglass handles breaking?).

6. L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes

So many people feel super pale after the winter because we haven’t been getting enough Vitamin D, but we all know that spending too much time in the sun is dangerous for our health. Self-tanner is an alternative to that, and these towelettes are just the right size to slip into your bag on-the-go. That dog? Us, after getting glowed up.
