We can smell the pine in the air and hear Christmas bells jingling in the distance, our HC Holiday Survival Kit arrival has officially marked the beginning of the holiday season! Our Holiday Survival Kits this year are filled with everything we needed just in time for trudging through finals week and into a pile of Christmas cookies. HerCampus has outdone themselves again with amazing cruelty-free beauty products and woman empowering workout tank tops. We can’t wait to share more about these products with you!
Alba Botantica® Fast Fix for Puffy Eyes Cooling Eye-Revive Gel:
I truly cannot express how grateful I was for this product to have arrived in our Holiday Survival Kit. A combination of stress and lack of sleep (AKA, finals week), expresses itself in the most noticeable and annoying way possible: puffy eyes. This cooling gel uses an all natural and earth friendly recipe of cooling gel, cucumber, green tea, and caffeine to stimulate and revive your eyes. I use this mini gel before my 6:30 AM shifts at work and it works wonders! Amazing stocking stuffer.
Tarte Cosmetics: Tarteist® PRO Pallete & Lights, Camera, Lashes™ Mascara:
What other reasons do you need to love Tarte products other than that they are completely vegan, cruelty-free, natural, paraben-free, and actually work incredibly. These makeup products make you look good and feel even better knowing you aren’t harming any animals or your earth just to look bangin’! The eyshadow pallete has an amazing array of 20 shades from natural to show stopping. Even better, their mascara ACTUALLY does not clump and seriously only takes a few strokes to have you looking ready to take on the day.
Being by Sanctuary Hand Creams:
We finally found it, a hand cream that smells amazing and actually does it’s job. These hand creams came to us in two luxurious scents: Salted Carmel & Macadamia and Cloudberry & Lychee Blossom. These are an absolute necessity for winter and will leave you feeling delicious.
Krazy Glue All-Purpose Singles:
Okay, we are actually krazy for these. There is no gift more thoughtful and personal than a craft made with time, effort, and love. Crafts are impossible without glue, super strong glue at that (it can’t JUST be held together with love). These singles are the perfect size to carry around whenever needed in a crafting emergency from a quick office-fix to a heartfelt gift for your loved one.
#ActuallySheCan + Le Motto Workout Tanks:
We saved the best products (in our opinion) for last. These tank tops were created in collaboration with #ActuallySheCan and Le Motto to give girls comfortable, soft, breathable, and inspiring workout wear. There is nothing better than sporting an empowering message right on your shirt while you workout or chill out! Guaranteed confidence boost if your entire girl gang wears these during finals week (;
