This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Elon chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Whether you’re staying at Elon, heading home or living in a new city, these must-have items will have you starting the summer at the top of your game. We’re highlighting the items that will make you stand out, won’t require maintenance and will help you feel your best. From eye-catching orange nail polish to electric pink lip stain, the items on this list will ensure you have all the hot items for the summer season.
 
NAIL POLISH
Orange is the year’s hippest color, and while it may be typical to see bright colors in your clothes, painting your nails this hot shade will draw the right kind of attention. If you prefer something a little less daring, try a classic pink shade or a pale color – neutral shades never go out of style.

LIPS
Bright pink lip color is a current trend that is going to last all summer. If you hate having to reapply lipstick, try a bright lip stain, which doesn’t rub off on glasses and stays vibrant for hours. Whether you’re interning, working or just hanging out, the last thing you’ll be worrying about is having to reapply!

HAIR
We all love summer, but hate what the humidity does to our hair. Even people who don’t usually have frizzy hair can have a hard time taming their mane once June rolls around. There are so many products out there meant to ease unruly hair, but which ones actually work?

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

Bumble and Bumble Defrizz
 
 
SUNSCREEN
Even if you’re not at the beach this summer, it’s important to properly protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun, as sun damage can occur without you realizing it. These products won’t clog your pores or feel heavy on your skin.
