Northwestern’s spring break is only a few days away, and there’s no better way to prepare than with Her Campus’ Spring Break Survival Kit! Check out our review of all the brands and products included in this season’s kit: 

1. Alba Botanica® Hawaiian Green Tea Sunscreen

Green tea isn’t just healthy to drink – it’s also perfect for a sunny, spring break day. This sunscreen will protect your skin (it’s SPF 45!), while also keeping it moisturized and radiant. Also, it’s ideal for the beach or pool because it’s water resistant for up to 80 minutes! 

2. Almay Shadow Squad™ Eyeshadow

We all know eyeshadow can get expensive, but these miniature palettes by Almay are both affordable (only $6.99 at Ulta!) and beautiful (one of the shades looks exactly like rose gold).  Each set has four different finishes, so you can switch up your look easily without having to break your budget. 

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

Deal alert! Bed Head is offering readers $5 off any $20 qualifying TIGI purchase on Ulta.com with the code TIGIFIVE. 

Spring break means your hair needs to stay on-point throughout an entire day of exploration and adventures (or just sitting on the couch, if you’re staying home like I am). The thickening spray is perfect for getting volume, while the finishing spray will get rid of any frizz, which is especially important for a humid climate. 

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

Deal alert! Buxom is offering readers 20 percent off their entire purchase at buxomcosmetics.com with the code HERCAMPUS. Valid until March 31, 2018. 

Who doesn’t love wine? This shade of lipstick will rock your world. But don’t worry – if “Wine Me” isn’t your color, there are a total of 20 available shades to make your lips look sexy and feel amazing. 

5. Krazy Glue All Purpose Singles

You never know when Krazy Glue could come in handy – especially if you’re staying home for spring break and have some time for craft projects! Krazy Glue is a DIY-ers best friend. 

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

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be tan for spring break. Whatever makes you feel confident naturally is all you need to take a hot Instagram on the beach with your friends. But if tanning is what makes you feel good, avoid the damage that tanning beds and the sun can cause and try out these self-tanning towelettes. They’re affordable (only $9.47 at Walmart!) and they work almost instantly (within 2-4 hours).
