Care-Package Must Haves For The College Girl

Table of Contents

Do you have a daughter or granddaughter that just flew the nest away to college? If you don’t have kids that age yet, perhaps you are looking for a unique gift idea for your faithful babysitter as she leaves for college, or know someone overseas with the military. Regardless of the exact situation, care packages are a simple way to tell someone that you are thinking about them when you are apart. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite brands to feature in our college girl care package must have roundup for this fall.

Having a theme with care packages is fun, and saves it from looking totally random to the receiver. We chose to stick to a toiletry theme, as high-quality items can be purchased online, and other items can be found easily at your local Rite Aid or Kroger. Here’s a list of the items, with more details to be found below:

Setting the tone for the theme is essential. We decided to run with the theme and invest in a quality hanging organizing bag that she will get tons of use out of. Whether she takes it down the hallway to the dorm bathroom, or uses it to travel with toiletries, we love how versatile and stylish this Medium Personal Organizer Toiletry Bag from LL Bean is.

Rita Aid

The bulk of your care package shopping is done online, but first, head to your local Rite-Aid, Meijer or Kroger store to get a simple start. Disposable razors are a total must-have for any college student, because the ease of simply being able to throw them away is vital for the busy college student. Schick Hydro Silk Razor hydrates longer than any other razor on the market, leaving her legs silky smooth, for longer periods of time. It moisturizes for up to 2 hours after shaving! It has a water-activated moisturizing serum & 5 curve-sensing blades with skin guards to help protect skin from irritation.

You can purchase the Schick Hydro Silk Razor at any Meijer, Kroger or Rite Aid store, and even Dollar General! While everything else on this list can be purchased online, this item is actually better to buy from a retail location because you can use coupons! They are easy to locate in the razor aisle, and won’t break the bank either.

If you plan to purchase any disposable Schick razors from Meijer, Rite Aid, Ahold or Kroger, Coupons.com has a special coupon that can be applied to your purchase. Click here to access and “clip” the online coupon.

We love shopping online. As busy moms, we feel like it’s essential to stock up with as much as you can online. Not only does it have the potential to save you money by shopping around for the best deals, it also saves you from wandering through stores and having “impulse purchases.” (Target, anyone?) Plus, if you have little ones also in tow, leisurely browsing a store is a thing of the past.

Breathable and Portable Makeup from Susan Posnick Cosmetics

About Susan Posnick Cosmetics

After an exciting and distinguished career painting the faces of models and celebrities like Cindy Crawford, Diane Lane, Amber Valletta, and Renee Russo, professional makeup artist Susan Posnick was presented with a new challenge—skin cancer on her face. Susan set aside the majority of her work in the film and fashion industry, and changed her focus to developing an innovative product offering substantial sun protection and healthy foundation coverage. Beginning with COLORFLO mineral foundation, Susan has created a streamlined cosmetic line of multi-purpose face, lip, and eye products for women on the go—whether it’s to the gym, to a soccer game or around the world. This is makeup for REAL WOMEN and REAL LIFE.

Product

COLORFLO Shimmer is made from natural ingredients and provides powerful and effective sun protection, as well as amazing coverage that will last all day long and won’t clog pores or irritate the skin. With COLORFLO Shimmer, you simply brush, and glow. It will rejuvenate her face and add a shimmering color after a long night spent cramming for midterms. The design of Susan Posnick Cosmetics is simply genius: with an easy turn, the brush emerges, and then a flick of the wrist activates the shimmer to evenly disperse on the brush. It’s simple and portable and amazing to throw into a purse for on-the-go use, or keep it in your cosmetic bag without worry that it will break, spill or leave a mess behind.

COLORME Blush is a delightfully easy way to apply a blush color to anywhere on your face that you may that rosey glow. Once again, Susan Posnick containers are a winning selling point, because the COLORME Blush comes in a petite self-dispensing pot with an attached puff and mirror for easy application. The color is highly pigmented, so it’s sure to last her for a long time because a little bit goes a long way. It’s available in 7 stunning shades, each inspired by an actress. (Pictured in ginger)
