Finally! The Her Campus survival kit has arrived. It contains a 16hr liquid lipstick, a five-hour energy, bronzer, tea, eyeliner, mascara, a facemask, and shaving cream. I tried all of them and wrote a review on how it went and my review on the products. These products make great Christmas gifts for women who enjoy treating themselves to some new products. 

Pure Silk Shaving Cream

After no-shave November, a good shaving cream is needed. Pure Silk works great, and it smells amazing too. I used this and my legs stayed smooth for over a week, a successful shave indeed.

Yogi Tea 

The survival kit included two packets of Yogi tea: sweet tangerine and green tea. The sweet orange tea was delicious; I definitely plan on buying some more as a drink to bring with on-the-go to classes. During the chilly weather, it is particularly nice to drink something warm and cozy, and it is the healthier alternative to hot chocolate or coffee. Yogi tea is also made from more natural ingredients and the flavors blend well together to make a soothing drink. 

5-Hour Energy

As finals week approaches, we all become stressed and tired. It can be hard to stay awake to finish all the projects that are due. It helps to have a nice little pick-me-up so we are able to stay focused and awake. 

Rimmel Provocalips

I love this gorgeous nude color and its long lasting qualities. It has two ends to it: the color itself and a clear coat that goes over it to lock it in. It had a very natural color and did not wear off after a whole day of wearing it. 

Rimmel ScandalEyes Mascara 

This had a really good result and I felt that my lashes had a nice black color and it went on evenly and smoothly. 

7 Wonders Face Mask

This face mask was one of those things that makes me ask myself, “Why didn’t I invest in this months ago?” It was a little awkward putting and keeping it on, but the results were flattering and I felt that my face was a lot cleaner when I was done with it. 

Rimmel ScandalEyes Eyeliner

For someone who does not like liquid eyeliner, this was perfect. It went on smooth and it stayed all day. It went well with the mascara and I think it would be a good stocking stuffer. 

Rimmel Bronzer

Bronzed and beautiful is the goal here, and it was accomplished with this suntanned bronzer from Rimmel. You can’t go wrong with getting a girl bronzer for Christmas! 

Altogether, these products can go really well together as Christmas gifts to friends and family. They are all really great quality and are perfect for college students who need that little pick-me-up to make their finals transitions a little easier. Thank you sponsors for letting me try out some awesome products from the Survival Kit!
