Here’s Everything You Need to Look Put-Together AF at Your Family Christmas Party

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at George Mason University chapter.

After a slew of questions about my grades, love life, and post-grad plans at Thanksgiving dinner, I’d like to be better prepared for passive-aggressive criticism at my family’s annual Christmas party.  It’s no secret that with finals so close, many of us are practicing a “fake it ‘til you make it” approach to the remainder of the semester, and Her Campus is here to help with our annual Holiday Survival Kits.   

1. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner

So your makeup stays fleekin’ through your afternoon cry sesh.

2. Leaders Cosmetics’s 7 Wonders Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask 

So you can decompress after 20 questions from Aunt Carol. 

3. Rimmel London Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Colour

Nothing will distract your relatives from your personal life like a statement lip. 

4. One Free Month to the Book of the Month Club

Instructions: Open book when Dad asks who you voted for.  

5. Yogi Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy Tea

It’s never been easier to look happy about receiving socks (again).
