The Best Care Package of All

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 Notre Dame chapter.

Fall is upon us and we were oh so ready to receive our most recent survival kit. Full of sparkling water, delicious candy and hair products, this thing is a care package on steroids. Here’s what our writers are loving during these chilly November days!

Bed Head by Tigi Hair Products

Oh Bee Hive! Dry Shampoo

Co-CC Chloe loves that “this product left my hair feeling very voluminous and took out the oil from my 2-day not-washing streak.  It has an incredible smell to it, a very fresh, flowery, almost perfumey smell (which I really needed because it masked my oily scalp smell!). The full-sized product is very sizeable and feels like a higher quality product both in its packaging and in the actual use of the product itself. I would definitely recommend.” Writer Rachel claimed that this stuff even saved her third day hair. #winning.

Masterpiece Hairspray

I LOVE THIS PACKAGING!  It looks very modern and sleek and feels pretty heavy and high quality.  This product does not really smell like hairspray, and definitely made my bathroom smell like the fruit section of the grocery store.  It is not very strong holding but adds hella shine.

Mini Hard Head Hairspray

This is the product that I would use if I need my hair to stay rock hard for 12 hours straight.  This hairspray is extremely efficient in keeping my hair as still as I could possibly want it.  It is very sticky but does not smell overwhelmingly of hairspray.  I would definitely recommend for someone who needs their hair to stay for an important event.

Spindrift Sparkling Water – Grapefruit and Cucumber

These are AMAZING!  I think they taste very natural and ~healthy~.  They are very satisfying by themselves but are also a fun mixer for an alcoholic drink! I love to throw them in my lunchbox and drink them in the middle of the day as a really refreshing midday pick-me-up.  I think the grapefruit tastes better than the cucumber, but both taste super incredible and will be something I will buy independently now. Writer Abby agrees that grapefruit was “vee tasty” and can second that it doubles as an excellent mixer.

Aeropostale Accessories

These accessories are absolutely amazing!  They are very fun, flirty, and beautiful and can dress up an outfit.  They can also add a really unique statement to anything that you wear.  Our writer Rachel Kreager said that the scrunchies gave her “Full House Vibes.”  The hair ties also offer a painless but fun and sexy way to do something new to your hair.  The sunglasses are very stylish as well, and the holo sunglasses really give a sassy vibe to an outfit, whereas the aviators look chic. The earrings set offers a very basic grouping of gold earrings that every woman should have in her jewelry box. The wallets are ADORABLE and hold so much in them. They are also small enough that I can throw it from my backpack to my clutch, and not worry about it being too big to be useful or convenient.

Freeman Face Masks

New skin who dis?

Nadia is loving the Freeman manuka honey and tea tree oil mask. “[This] face mask left my skin GLOWING. It was a super quick face mask (they recommend using it for only 3-5 minutes) but it definitely did the job in that amount of time. My skin feels clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated. I wish I had a before the face mask picture because I was actually shocked by how good it looks.”

Erin Condren Planners

Erin Condren is known for giving us the cutest planners imaginable, and we were not disappointed with our 2018 installment! The colorful patterns and silver-trimmed pages are so pretty that I (almost) forgot about the monotony that I’ll be filling it with.

Hi-Chew Candy

Abby writes that “my friend and I both loved the High Chews. Truly, I wasn’t expecting much, but they were like a Starburst on crack.” I can second this- my besties and I ate at least 100 of these things this weekend.

Fall semester is hard, but our Her Campus Survival Kits always make it a little more bearable. HCNDXO!
