HC Hamilton recently received our Back to School Survival Kits! Check out our fun stuff below:
1. Freeman Beauty masks
Face masks are always fun — they make you feel fancy and relaxed even though you’re just smearing something all over your face and washing it off a few minutes later. Freeman Beauty sent us three types of Feeling Beautiful masks full of ingredients designed to feel and smell nice as well as enhance our skin. The Rejuvenating Cucumber + Pink Salt Clay Mask both exfoliates and soothes skin, the Manuka Honey + Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask + Cleanser purifies and keeps oil in check, and the Detoxifying Charcoal + Black Sugar Mud Mask cleanses and moisturizes. If you need a break from the stress of homework and exams, pick your poison and indulge your skin.
2. Aeropostale accessories
Aeropostale is a good go-to for fun clothes and accessories. We received a variety of sunglasses, rings, earrings, hair accessories, and more from this brand to spice up everyday outfits. This fall, they also have a cool denim collection that you can check out! They have lots of different cuts and fun styles and designs. You can never have too many pairs of jeans for the days between lazy leggins and more formal clothes.
3. Bed Head hair products
It’s so tempting to skip an extra hair wash, but the prospect of greasy hair in class or on a night out is less appealing. Luckily, Bed Head sent us not one, but two types of dry shampoo! Try Dirty Secret or Oh Bee Hive! Matte Dry Shampoo to curb oiliness. We also got two hairsprays, Masterpiece Shine to maximize sleek locks and Hard Head to get an even stronger hold — suited for wild Halloween do’s or just keeping a more formal look in place for a job interview or fancy event.
4. Spindrift Sparkling Water
It’s important to remember to stay hydrated while going about your busy life on campus, but sometimes plain water can get a little boring. Spindrift uses real fruit in its sparkling water to concentrate on both taste and natural ingredients. It’s great for a refreshing drink after class, or you can mix it with other alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks for the weekend!
5. Erin Condren planners
When it gets hard to keep track of all those assignments, tests, meetings and social commitments, it’s so useful to have a way to organize everything. We got very cute and colorful hardbound planners from Erin Condren, who produces a variety of styles and structures of planners. Enjoy helpful layouts and inspiring quotes while managing all of your responsibilities.
6. HI-CHEW candy
Sometimes you just need a little something sweet throughout your busy week. HI-CHEW is a fruity, chewy candy popular here in the U.S. as well as in Asia, particularly in Japan. If you’re worried about what you’re putting in your body, it’s made without artificial flavors or trans fat, and it’s also gluten-free if that’s something you need to think about!
7. L’Oreal Paris self-tanner
L’Oreal balances quality with affordability, perfect for college students. These self-tanning towelettes and mists are a great way to warm up your skin tone without taking the time or money to go to a salon, or risking your health by not protecting your skin in the sun (not that we see much of that guy around here this time of year). If you plan on going somewhere warm over an upcoming break and want to look like you’ve already been there forever, or if you just want to feel like Hamilton in the fall is tropical, check these out.
8. Steripod toothbrush protectors
Do you worry about what kinds of germs your toothbrush attracts, especially if you leave it in a shared suite bathroom? Well, you should, but not anymore. Steripod toothbrush protectors clip on to your toothbrush and keep it safe from nasty stuff you wouldn’t even be able to see was on there. Every measure to stay clean and healthy on a college campus is crucial!
