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

You’re studying for finals, pulling all-nighters to cram in as much studying as possible, and before you know it, you’re done with all of your tests, the semester is finally over and you’re ready for break! But WAIT, that means Christmas is right around the corner… and if you’re anything like us — broke and VERY busy college students — you probably don’t have too much time for holiday shopping. Don’t worry —as always, we’ve got you covered.

 

Here are some great products from our HC Survival Kit that we have been OBSESSED with! These products can easily be purchased online and will work as great last-minute gifts for any BFF or family member.

 

1) ALBA BOTANICAⓇ – Fast Fix for Puffy Eyes Cooling Eye-Revive Gel

There’s pretty much only one word needed to describe this product, and that is LIFESAVER. This is a perfect gift for anyone who is NOT a morning person. Alba Botanica’s “puffy eye gel” is a soothing cooling gel that instantly reduces tired, puffy eyes and helps wake you up. The cucumber, green tea and caffeine in the product help stimulate and energize the eyes while also providing instant relief. Not to mention that its small, travel size packaging makes it great to take on-the-go!

2) Tarte Cosmetics Products

Who doesn’t love new makeup?! Products from this cruelty-free, hypoallergenic and vegan skin care and cosmetics brand make a great gift for anyone. The Tarteist™ PRO Palette happens to be one of our favorites. This glamorous makeup pallet is made up of 20 ultra-pigmented shades, making it a great option for your BFF who is always looking for Instagram-worthy selfie opportunities. If you’re feeling extra nice this holiday season, the best way to top off this eye shadow pallet is by pairing it with Tarte’s mascara, Lights, Camera, Lashes™. The name pretty much says it all. This product curls and separates your lashes, giving anyone a naturally defined and voluminous look.

 

3) Being Products

A.K.A. the BEST smelling lotion you will ever get your hands on (literally). This is a great stocking stuffer for anyone. The super cute packaging and, unique, yummy scented scents make these lotions the perfect gift for your BFF who always wants to smell fresh AF.

Check it out!

 

4) Krazy Glue

Have a friend or family member who loves to craft? Look no further — we’ve got something they NEED to have this holiday season. Krazy Glue can do it all. It’s perfect for home projects, simple crafts and on-the-go touch ups. It’s a super-strong, fast-drying adhesive and bonds to wood, metal, plastics, glass, vinyl and ceramics!

5) Actually She Can, created in partnership with Le Motto

A perfect gift to motivate your girl gang! These comfy, empowering slogan tees offers a way to express yourself fashionably and with positivity through hand written graphics that express motivational quotes and sayings. Not to mention they’re super cute and can be thrown under a cardigan or can be worn as active wear!
