<center>
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Firstly, this stuff works.</b> I take a handful for each leg and arm on a exfoliating glove and buff it all over, paying particular attention to the drier areas of my body such as feet and elbows. I emerge from the shower like a new born dolphin ready to slide through the waves. This stuff is insane at producing silky smooth legs, the kind of legs you will constantly be rubbing together just to experience that fresh sheets, newly shaved legs feeling, but a thousand times better. I used this 5 days after applying fake tan to get off the flakey dregs and I left the shower with newborn baby skin. I would go so far as to say this stuff if the best exfoliator I have ever used... a big statement.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The downside...? </b>Prepare for your bathroom to look like Alan Titchmarch's wheelbarrow exploded all over it. Due to the soil like texture it has a tendency to get everywhere, so your bath or shower will need a good hose down after use. This can be a major problem if you're in a rush. Try to remove any white towels from the surrounding area as brown-tinged water will inevitably stain them. Sorry mum. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So is it worth it?</b> It pains me to say it for the sake of my bathtub, but yes. That feeling you get from silky smooth legs is literally incomparable, and Scrub Love have nailed the formula to slough of dead skin, but not be too abrasive or damaging. I will be repurchasing this for special occasions when I want to channel a sleek baby dolphin, but I will be leaving this on the side for days when I have more time to clean up the aftermath of the coffee bean explosion.</center>

So watches are my weakness. Big ones, shiny ones, thin ones; I'm always drawn down to the wrist. I feel naked without something weighing down my left wrist, and the <a href="http://www.hannahbiggz.com/2013/03/usa-haulin.html" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs Rose Gold </a>beauty that I bought in New York a few years back had been serving me well. And then this gorgeous thing caught my eye. <div>

Buttery soft white leather strap, shimmering rose gold face and a durability to rival all the bigger watch brands. I received this for my 21st birthday, and it alternates shifts with my Marc Jacobs on days when I'm wearing white, or need a little rose gold in my life. For the price, I think it is beautiful quality and I can see it lasting a long time into the future, as the strap has very little wear so far. If you're looking for a more affordable wrist accessory, Olivia Burton may be the one to watch.<center>

Two years ago today I wrote my first post on university, <a href="http://www.hannahbiggz.com/2014/07/things-i-wish-id-known-before-starting.html" target="_blank">Things I Wish I'd Known Before University</a>, chronicling the ups and downs of my fresher life at Durham University. A couple years on and I've graduated with a first class Chemistry BSc and I am finally about to enter the real world, as hideous as that sounds. Here's a few of the things I've learnt since those hazy first few months at uni...</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT19BFHGTkepTvywFbdrcD1eozRD3STYswKR3e07z7pUejDz-LbwozIIUYJKt0wla8e_bYqZSh52_QwjTerSMojZZtWvxbPlIG8qtqsd8OTTm1vBU_meyowoJsRrXKu87_PgXqiUJJxKg/s1600/uni2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT19BFHGTkepTvywFbdrcD1eozRD3STYswKR3e07z7pUejDz-LbwozIIUYJKt0wla8e_bYqZSh52_QwjTerSMojZZtWvxbPlIG8qtqsd8OTTm1vBU_meyowoJsRrXKu87_PgXqiUJJxKg/s1600/uni2.jpg" /></a></div>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Its the people who will make it</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Uni isn't truly just about education, independence or booze fueled nights out. Its about finding the right people, and clinging on to them for dear life. They are your lifeboats in this crazy journey people call university. They will be the people who pick you up off of club floors, sit with you while you're breaking down over exams and push you to the limits of who you once thought you were. If possible, grab a few people from your course and force them into your life; working together never hurt anyone! The social hierarchy which was once in place at school is no longer an issue; make friends with people who make you happy and who bring out the best possible side of you.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>There will be downs</b></center>
<i>There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.</i><br /><center style="text-align: left;">
That quote resonates with me a lot more now I'm older. You won't always have a peachy life, not everything will go well, people won't always be nice, you won't always be happy. But here's the thing. Time heals. Everything. So while you might be crying your eyes out about that shitty mark that that shitty supervisor gave you (can you tell I'm bitter ha?) you won't be sad forever. The problem that you're obsessing about won't be an issue in a few weeks. So take a few hours, cry it out and then push through it; know that you won't feel like this forever and things will get better. And worse. And then better again. University moves so fast and everything is such a whirlwind that things can be magnified to almost unmanageable proportions but they really, truly, honestly will be some of the best years of your life if you let them be.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Living out of halls/college is a learning curve</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
There aren't any porters to look after you when your shower starts leaking out the door, or any people to run to when the neighbours are making too much noise. You're on your own, and the house is usually falling down, and the pipes are leaking through the ceiling, and the washing up is always mounting up. But if you're with the right people, all the things that go wrong are slightly more bearable. I lived with my 4 best friends for 2 years in the most beautiful house and I never had any housing regrets, but be careful in first year who you sign for a house with. While the home comforts of living with the rents is lovely, there's nothing quite like being surrounded by your best friends at all hours of the day.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Somehow drinking won't be your priority anymore</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
For me at least, something just clicked a couple of months into third year and clubbing was not a thing I wanted to do anymore. The constant cycle of drinking and hangovers started to take its tole and rather than relishing in the 'hilarious' stories of last night, I was often just left feeling empty. Combined with the fact that I simply could not afford to lose anymore days of dissertation writing to hungover eating and moping in bed, I almost completely gave up the clubbing scene. And I feel a hell of a lot better for it. </center>

<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>I really hated my subject</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
To be honest, a lot of people do. Especially when surrounded by chemists, I'd say around 30% actually enjoyed our degree, while the other 70% were ploughing through to the light at the end of the tunnel, ie hopefully a good job. This makes your degree a living nightmare, which you never really escape from because of the guilt when you're not working. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Boys</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
There is a statistic that 70% of Durham graduates meet their spouse at the university. Whether or not this is utter bullshit is irrelevant. I was surrounded by couples through most of my last years at uni, at one point I looked around and realised I was 9th wheeling. Quite an achievement really. While it can be lonely being single at uni sometimes, it really does teach you that your worth is not based on what you look like or who you call your partner. Your degree is for you and no-one else, don't let anything get in the way of you achieving your dreams.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>You'll change</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
For the better. Hopefully. Three years ago I was timid, naive and unsure of who I was or wanted to be. And I probably still am all those things. But any progress is good progress (my ultimate favourite university motto) and being thrown into an unfamiliar environment and forced to make new friends and have new experiences is the ultimate stepping out of your comfort zone kinda progress. Which is always a good thing.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>You will miss it when its over</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Like crazy. I don't think my head has yet understood that this isn't summer for me now, this is life. Come September, I won't be trundling up North for another year of debauchery combined with chemistry books. Real life is weird, and stressful and terrifying, but I'm excited to see what the future holds.</center>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MAC lipsticks will forever, and always, hold a special place in my heart. Since my very first Hue purchase back in the day, which I wore down to its very stubbs, the scent of MAC lipsticks makes my heart beat faster and my pupils dilate. </div>
<div>
<br />
These lot are the three musketeers of the lipstick world, the only lipsticks I really need in my collection at the moment. <b>Syrup</b> is the ultimate 'I want to look natural but also super put together and polished' kinda berry shade, but its sheer finish gives it the wearability of a much more neutral shade. This combined with <a href="http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/lip-cheat-pillowtalk.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat</a> in Pillowtalk is currently my go to favourite, but when I need a quick vamp it up colour for a night out, I reach for <b>Diva</b>. Bold is the name of the game here, don't plump for Diva unless you have the self confidence to match and the commitment to the game. This needs love, care and attention to prevent lipstick teeth and lip line feathering, but when this is done well, this is the ultimate colour for a night out. Finally we have <b>Patisserie</b>, an age old sheer nude with peachy undertones. I usually pair this with <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/No-7/Make-up/Lips/Lip-Liner/" target="_blank">No 7's Nude Lip Liner</a> for an understated and very chic everyday look. My only quarm with Patisserie is its glitter particles in the formula, but this is a small issue which I can overlook for the beautiful colour.<br />

For a bag to gain the status of 'everyday bag' in summer, it must adhere to my very particular checklist. It must be lightweight, not rigid and there has to be a hell of a lot of fringing involved. This beauty from <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Western-Tassel-Suede-And-Leather-Cross-Body-Bag/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5094987&cid=20816&Rf900=1427&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&totalstyles=2&gridsize=3" target="_blank">ASOS</a> is leather, has withheld against absolute torture from its brutal owner, and really has stood the test of time since I bought it last year. It has one zipped pocket inside and an adjustable strap for creating your optimal length, and is just big enough for me to be able to hoard a fair amount of crap with me everyday, without it getting lost in the depths of the bag.</div>

I bought a new card purse from <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/collection-weekend-by-john-lewis-hayley-'good-as-gold'-leather-slogan-ziparound-purse-orange/p2523417" target="_blank">John Lewis</a> as a little post exams treat to myself and it has almost completely replaced the bulkier purse I used to lug around every day. This has 3 card pockets and space for change and notes to lurk around at the bottom. It is perfect for everyday when I really don't need to be carrying around a collection of out of date bank cards and dusty, never used store cards. </div>

An absolute staple as it heats up in the south this week are my Primark sunglasses. Not the most effective, but definitely the only style I have ever found to suit my abnormally long face. I keep them partially scratch free in this cute little Topshop sunglasses case.</div>

Of course keys and phone are everyday essentials to chuck in the bag at the last minute as you run out the door. I keep a holiday snap from a few years ago along with a very decrepit giraffe keyring on my keys, while my <a href="https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/samsung/galaxy-j5.html#!colour=black&capacity=8GB&dealType=pm" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy J5</a> is housed in a cute <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Transparent-Cover-Gel-Cases-TPU-Rubber-Paint-Back-Phone-Case-For-HTC-ONE-2-II-M8-/181522381342?var=&hash=item2a4393ba1e:m:mAqalUxkImQlrKAvsbonp_A" target="_blank">dreamcatcher phone case</a>.</div>

Finally, the miscellaneous items rolling around at the bottom.<a href="http://www.escentual.com/la-roche-posay/lrpcicaplast001/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw2ay8BRC7sYequMydsq0BEiQAbEX9UIC_SB9CZBQRWGcpOO-ZrIFjBbgY_9MJCXM-b-aj3hAaAgD68P8HAQ" target="_blank"> La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains</a> is my ultimate favourite hand cream which keeps scaled fingers at bay, and I will never be without a pot of <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/NUXE-Reve-de-Miel-Baume-Levres-Ultra-Nourrissant-Ultra-Nourishing-Lip-Balm-15g" target="_blank">Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm</a> in my bag. Hairbands are an absolute essential, along with a fold out hairbrush (includes a mirror) and, last but not least, the lip product of the day.</div>

After their Water Fuse BB Cream was discontinued (why Dr Jart, why?!), I had to grin and continue with this slightly substandard replacement. Its just as hydrating as its counterpart, has spf 40 and a tonne of anti ageing properties, but this just doesn't deliver the same glow that Water Fuse did. RIP.</center>

Necklace - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/276726624/teeny-tiny-gold-coins-necklace-delicate?ref=shop_home_active_7" target="_blank">Etsy</a></center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Tiny necklaces that sit comfortably on your collarbone have always been a weakness of mine. I have countless tiny pendants from Primark, which only set me back a couple of quid at a time but turn to rust in a matter of weeks.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I saw this style of necklace on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/amelialiana" target="_blank">Amelia Liana </a>and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/alicemusicality" target="_blank">Alice Kristiansen</a>, and fell head over heels. After many hours of stalking, I discovered a similar design on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/276726624/teeny-tiny-gold-coins-necklace-delicate?ref=shop_home_active_7" target="_blank">Etsy</a>, ordered in 17 inches after a quick measure of my other necklaces, and it came about a week later. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
At first I was worried about the colouring as I'm usually a rose gold kinda girl through and through. But the bright yellow gold grew on me, and now I think I even like this better than my cheaper rose gold necklaces. The tiny droplet coin design is perfect for emphasising your décolletage, and is subtle while also somehow managing to draw the eye. Its gold filled, and at £19 an absolute bargain.</center>

Dress - <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01D9ZGN26/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a></center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Words cannot describe to you how much I adore this dress. Blue and white anything floats my float and this has all the characteristics of a fairytale match made in heaven with my wardrobe.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Okay, confession time. I bought this on Amazon. From Hong Kong. With little to no knowledge that it would fit or be of a normal size or be non-see-through. Took a gamble. <i>Paid off.</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I saw this dress on <a href="http://www.thelondoner.me/2014/05/date-night-sushi.html" target="_blank">The Londoner </a>years ago and it stuck with me. At the time I didn't have the occasion or the justification for a purchase, but rolling up to graduation day with the pressure on to find a dress, this stuck with me. I tried about 10 different formal dresses from ASOS but none made the cut, and eventually I ordered this beauty from <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01D9ZGN26/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. I waited for weeks hoping and praying that the postman would bring it in time. One fateful day he knocked on the door and I scribbled a rushed signature, dancing into the house holding the messiah of dresses in my hands.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
For £14 (£14!!!!!), this dress is surprisingly well made, opaque and the design is so beautiful I couldn't stop smiling at my luck. Not too short and demure enough for a formal occasion. There is one small, tiny downside. The Small size is made for a 10 year old boy. Don't breathe too heavy or the seams will split and all hell will break loose. Don't make my mistake, swallow your feelings and order a size up.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
But, seam splits aside. The perfect dress for your next occasion?</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Fake tan has flummoxed me from a young age. I've tried them all. Drugstore to high end, tinted moisturiser to full on dark lotion, nothing seemed to work for me. Primarily, the smell gets to me. It seems to linger long after the guide colour is washed off. Tans can be too orange, too dark, too pale or wear off hideously. But I think, <i>finally</i>, I've got it down.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 1: Exfoliate and shave</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
You know the drill, slough off those dead skin cells to give your tan the best foundations you can possibly give. Exfoliating will also give you the closest shave possible so go for it. My favourite combination is a <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exfoliating-Gloves-Pack-2/dp/B0019HJV9E/ref=sr_1_7_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1468420885&sr=1-7" target="_blank">exfoliating glove</a> teamed up with <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Garnier-Ultimate-Beauty-Oil-200ml_1440726/?&cm_mmc=bmm-_-google-_-PLAs-_-Boots%20Shopping%20-%20Category%20-%20Beauty" target="_blank">Garnier's Ultimate Beauty Oil Nourishing Scrub</a>, which seems to retain the moisture in the skin while giving a deep cleanse. If you are doing this a while before you tan, slather yourself in moisturiser as you step out of the shower to give you the best possible start to your new tanned life.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 2: Prep</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Make sure your fingers and toes are painted with a clear polish to prevent yellowing, maybe even go under the tips of long nails to prevent tan from discolouring them from beneath. Add a little moisturiser to the dryer parts of your body; we are talking knees, elbows, ankles, toes, hands and the underarm area. This prevents the tan from catching too much and looking patchy. My favourite moisturiser for the job is old trusty <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/E45-Moisturising-Body-Lotion-Pump-500ml_2034/" target="_blank">E45 Moisturising Lotion</a>, in a pump bottle which is far easier to dispence when you have tan all over your hands than a squeezy bottle.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 3: Tan</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Try your hardest to tan at night after you've brushed your teeth so you can avoid water at all costs. My ultimate top tip in this guide is to get a <a href="https://www.primark.com/en/product/tanning-mitt,R35397119050749" target="_blank">double sided tanning mitt</a>. Primark do a great inexpensive one for £3, and it is so very worth it. I currently use <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/He-Shi-Express-Liquid-Tan-150ml_1643023/" target="_blank">He-Shi Express Liquid Tan</a> all over my body. Once you get past the name, it builds to a beautiful olive colour, fades nicely and the smell doesn't linger. It amazes me how little this tan actually smells. I apply this all over my body, doing one layer, allowing it to dry and then applying another. When I want to be extra dark for a special occasion I will reapply the next night as well to bump up the colour. On difficult areas such as feet I don't go straight in, but put a dot of colour onto the tops of my feet with the dirty side of the mitt, then swap it round to the clean side of the mitt to blend the colour. This gives the most natural blended out effect and is perfect for people who can be slightly heavy handed, like me. The technique is also useful for hands, making sure to blend throughly into knuckles and the edges, and for any areas of your body you feel needs more blending but don't want to increase the colour of the tan. <i>Use the cleaner side of the mitt like a rubber, to blend out edges.</i> If you have dry skin like me, after you finish applying your tan, put some E45 onto the cleaner side of the mitt and rub a little over your feet, hands and areas which always go too dark to lighten them up. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 4: Development</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I usually apply this at about 10pm, go to sleep and wake up to colour! I wash it quickly down the drain in the shower, and go all over with, you guessed it, E45! From then on I try to moisturise after every shower I have and exfoliate at around the 3 day mark. The tan will generally last on me for around 4-5 days before a top up is needed, where I repeat the process all over again.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 5: The Face</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Always the trickiest and most risky area when tanning, you can go two ways. I often go in with what's left over on the dirty side of the tanning mitt, dot it on my cheeks, forehead and nose, and blend with the cleaner side. For those with sensitive skin, I would recommend using a designated facial tanner, my favourite being<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-Liquid-Bronze-Self-Tanning-for-Face-and-Decollete-125ml_17653/" target="_blank"> Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning</a> for Face. I apply this with my fingers before I do the rest of my body, so I can wash it off my hands before I start. I use this to top up my facial tan everyday after my moisturiser, as it adds only a subtle colour, but my face tan fades much faster than my body as I use exfoliating muslin clothes on it so often.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
To top of the whole experience I attended a couple of balls to put the very last hurrah into third year. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
First up was a whole evening dedicated to champagne. It was as lavish as it sounds. Corks a-popping and the laughter of fairground rides filled the air as the evening exploded with bubbles. The champagne did not stop coming and of course this beautiful dusty rose maxi dress from <a href="http://www.axparis.com/products/Lace-Top-Maxi--Dress.html" target="_blank">AX Paris</a> came home stinking of the very best cava. I guess its better than the usual crawl home dressed in the stench of jeager. But that's another story. The dress was perfection in every aspect; bodice delicately embroidered and skirt flowing in the wind. My shoes are <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/stone-suedette-ankle-strap-heeled-sandals-_374035215" target="_blank">New Look</a>'s finest, and while they beautifully coordinate with the rose dress, they were a form of torture in themselves and I ended up ditching them half way through the night. Not the wisest decision with broken champagne bottles strewn across the floor.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The second dress was my first purchase of the two and oh boy is this a beauty. You can tell I have a ball dress type can't you... (just check out last year's extremely <a href="http://www.hannahbiggz.com/2014/07/summer-ballin.html" target="_blank">similar ensemble</a>.) If its tight and interesting on the top and flows over all of your midriff on the bottom, I am sold. This little number from <a href="http://www.asos.com//Rare/Rare-Maxi-Dress-with-Lace-Top-and-Skirt-in-Glitter-Fabric/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=6010787" target="_blank">Rare</a> has a stretchy waistband to clinch you in but also allowed some room for eating, always a plus. The material is almost lycra-like, but the neckline is so pretty I will forgive any misdeeds. After the shoe disaster of champagne ball, I stuck with some old trusted Primark platforms, subtle enough that they didn't clash too much with the dress. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

p.s. For the eagle-eyed of you, my blog name has changed! Formally Beautylishious, a name I came up with in a teenage brainstorming session gone wrong. If you're still here now we've morphed into Hannah Biggz... its good to be back.</center>

Matching your scrunchies to your knee high socks was all the age when we were kids, so why can't matching your eyeliner to your lipstick be a thing as we transition into the warmer months? Berry lips have always been an autumnal favourite of mine, but the warmer toned eyeliner is a trend I shunned for fear of creating the illusion of pink eye, previously preferring to leave this eyeliner colour to the lighter eyed girls, who red tones seem to suit so perfectly. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
That was until I discovered a new favourite, KIKO Glamorous Eye Pencil in 403, a deep burgundy, shot through with glimmering flecks of red. Much to my horror, I actually love it. Somehow the creamy liner manages to veer away from the 'I've had zero sleep' vibe, and rather imparts a soft defined look that I adore. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I pair it with an old favourite, Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Lip Cheat under an old, rediscovered favourite, No 7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Classic Rose, something I hadn't unearthed since those hazy days working on the No 7 counter in my youth. In photos the eyes and lip complement each other and as the evenings draw in darker, its a combination perfect to match the falling leaves on the ground.</center>

So this year has been the best year of my life. People say uni is the best period of your life, although I do like to think that it will only get better from here. There's been ups and downs, I've made some incredible friendships and this is what I've learnt over the past year at Durham university...</center>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">My beautiful best friends at uni</span></i></center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
1. It is almost physically impossible not to make friends</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking from a shy person's perspective, the thought of being surrounded by hundreds of strangers at university terrified me. The structure of stability that comes from your closest friends and family is taken right from beneath your feet, forcing you to begin again with nothing. But you soon realise that everyone is desperately clinging on to each and every person they can make any small connection with to begin to build friendship groups. If you're lucky your flatmates will become your second family and support network, but if that doesn't work out course friends, or friends made through other friends, are your best route to finding like minded and brilliant pals.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. New friends will (usually) be nothing like the friends you have at home</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I started at uni in a flat with 5 people who I literally thought I had nothing in common with whatsoever. 9 months later and 3/5 are my closest friends at uni, and I couldn't imagine Durham without them. University is mainly about opening your mind to change and really broadening your horizons, learning new things from people you would never normally expect to have a connection with. One of my most interesting relationships is with my Chinese flatmate, who I learn so much from. Make the most of your connections with people outside of your little bubble of comfort. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Building friendships isn't an overnight thing</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Generally you cant bowl into a friendship and expect your new pals to be your soul mates for the rest of your life. The first term is crucial for putting work into relationships, so make some time to actually get to know people without the layer of alcohol hanging over your brain, clouding your judgement. Choose friends wisely and try you hardest to avoid drama.</center>

<b>
4. Cheese is bloody expensive</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
And so is meat. And alcohol. Depending on your financial situation, you need to take into account the important things to spend money on, and the things which could maybe wait until you earn a little cash. Online shopping is a very dangerous thing; be super careful with your cash and only spend it on what you actually need. Yes, that means I had to swear off the FeelUnique browsing all year... <i>sob sob</i>.</center>

5. Things are really different up north</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
People are friendly. Bus drivers talk to you. Heaven sent chips and gravy exist. So do triples... and (<i>dangerously</i>) quaddies.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
6. Uni summers are not particularly 'fun'</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Those 3 months of blissful freedom you've been dreaming about all year? Yeah, they will be filled with 9-6 of being screamed at by irate customers in your part time retail job, or pretending to be interested in your work experience while all the while regretting your choice of degree... or maybe just lying in bed all day watching endless hours of Netflix and stalking your ex's holiday photos. Come September you will be salivating at the thought of uni life.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
7. Social status is irrelevant</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
There isn't really any such thing as <i>'the popular people'</i> at uni, just a lot of different, intermingling friendship groups. Its much better to find people you have things in common with, or just click with naturally, than forcing relationships based solely on improving what you may perceive to be social status. </center>

8. Fresher's Week is a load of shit</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
Best week of your life</i>, they said. Nobody seems to tell freshers the truth about Fresher's Week. Its a whirlwind of emotions, from homesickness and crying on your own in your room, thinking you are alone when really everyone is feeling down, to being blind drunk and giggling with randoms whom you will probably never speak to again. You will be asked the triple question over and over and over again until you head spins... <i>Name? Location? Course?</i> You will probably be drunk or hungover in a constant cycle for a week, wondering if its all downhill from here. Uni only gets better, I promise. </center>

<b>9. Make memories and remember them</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I kept every wristband, every tshirt, every fancy dress item, every club promotion, every train ticket, every picture and stuck it up on my noticeboard at uni. All of these memories remind me of days or nights out and I will keep them for a long time yet. Freshers is potentially the year when you you have the most fun, make the most mistakes and have the most learning curves... so remember them. We had a board in our kitchen full of posters where we literally wrote down everything that happened that year; confession chart, pull chart, chunder chart, rejection chart, best and worst of the flat, quote, goals, interventions... you name it, we documented it. Don't let your first year go by forgotten.</center>

10. Procrastination is the devil</b></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Discovering the elusive world of Breaking Bad right before my January exams was probably a mistake, however a mistake I do not necessarily regret. Sure balance your time wisely, but spend time with people who matter in your life, rather than hiding yourself up in your room the whole year, whether that be buried in books or entranced by Netflix. Work is important, but so are building relationships which could last a lifetime. </center>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Black liner is something I consistently shy away from. I have dark eyes and brows with pale skin so black always seems a little harsh, and I veer on the side of gothic if I stray from my trusty brown shadows and liners. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But today I tried something different. Black kohl liner in the form of <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932962099_-1" target="_blank">Urban Decay Zero Pencil</a> paired with <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Eye-Studio-Lasting-Drama-Gel-Liner_1190781/" target="_blank">Maybelline Gel Liner</a> in... (<i>you guessed it!</i>) black, topped off with a smudge of an old Laura Mercier black shadow left me feeling very dark and very dangerous. Dangerous in the sense that smudges are pretty much inevitable. Brows and lips of any kind of substance with this dark of an eye can easily push your makeup onto the verge of drag. In the picture I'm wearing <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC Creme Cup</a>, but even the soft pinky nude seems almost too much for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe I'm just a minimal makeup addict, but I don't think black is really for me. When used minimally - a quick sweep of liner on top here, a soft smudge in the outer corners there - I am all for embracing the black, but all round the eye makeup makes my eyes appear even smaller than they are. <i>How do you make black work for you?</i></div>

Kelly has kindly offered Beautylishious readers 10% off phone case purchases from her online shop <a href="http://rainydaydesigns.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Rainy Day Designs</a>. She does kitch, unique designs, on phone cases of a multitude of different models, with a few pocket mirrors thrown into the mix.

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
So, it's been a while.</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
The last year has been a whirlwind of starting univeristy, freshers, work, exams, and alcohol. So. Much. Alcohol. Blogging, and normal life, was relegated to the side as I focused all my efforts on attempting to pass first year while maintaining a regular sleeping pattern... which was damn near impossible. Summer ball was the big occasion at the end of term to celebrate exam results and successfully finishing the first year of university...</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
In true tall girl fashion I boycotted the heels in favour of some ultra comfy sandals which didn't look too noticeable under the slightly too short dress (which was originally my much shorter sisters). It is one shouldered and navy blue with a sheer skirt, and while super simple it is actually one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe. I paired it with a delicate bar necklace in gold and my old faithful <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Marc+by+Marc+Jacobs+MBM3078+Amy+Rose+Mini+Ladies+Bracelet+Watch/188586772,default,pd.html" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs </a>rose gold watch.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Massive curls were required so I used my <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/BaByliss-2286U-Waving-Wand/dp/B003N7NIL0" target="_blank">Babyliss Waving Wand</a> and then pinned the curls up for a half hour while they cooled, letting the pins out to huge voluminous curls which I clipped up the front of. Of course, as with all special occasions, the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Ardell-Individual-Lashes-Medium_1037134/" target="_blank">Ardell</a> individual lashes were cracked out for sufficient flutter that lasted all night, and my lips were uber simple with YSL lipstick in 30 for a natural pop of colour.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><i>Have a good weekend guys, hopefully I will be returning to regular blogging very soon!</i></span></center>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Hourglass Riviera.</b> Infamous in the blogging world and now an absolute staple for a big night out or just a casual flash of blood orange to spice up the ultimate all-grey ensemble.

Paired with a leather jacket, scuffed up biker boots and a beanie this is my go-to uni outfit at the moment, with just the right balance of comfort and effort rolled into one look!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Eye creams have always been a non-essential in my skincare routine, an added step which is easily overlooked or replaced by any old day or night cream. The lovely people from <a href="http://www.beautytimetherapies.co.uk/" target="_blank">Beauty Time Therapies</a> offered to send me an eye concentrate to rival all other eye creams by the relatively little known <a href="http://www.beautytimetherapies.co.uk/hydropeptide.html" target="_blank">HydroPeptide</a>, a brand which boasts scientific backup and me being now a fully fledged Chemistry student, I was very interested. It is accompanied by a rather impressive ingredient list explanation on the website, with items such a <i>Matrixyl </i>(a popular peptide ingredient made famous by No7's cult Protect and Perfect range) which helps stimulate collagen production and <i>Haloxyl</i> which claims to reduce dark circles in 2 months if used everyday!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I have been testing out HydroPeptide for a month now and am finding my dark circles are a little less prominent after many a late night, and my under eye area is a lot more hydrated, a problem which is especially important as winter starts to negatively impact my already dry skin. As for its anti-ageing properties, it is a tad too early to tell on my 18 year old skin, but I have definitely noticed a clear difference in the skin surrounding my eyes after just a month. At £45 a pop it is definitely more on the expensive side of skincare, but if you're looking for a more luxury product to target any signs of dark circles this may be the one for you!</span></center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
While my wardrobe remains a plethora of white, grey and dark grey variations, recently I have really been embracing wearing actual colour on my lips rather than my usual slick and go of my go-to quick and easy Clinique Chubby Sticks. Two of my favourites at the moment are from Topshop's infamous lipstick collection; <b>Macaroon</b>, a bright neutral pink with a touch of peach which is lovely for an everyday lip, and <b>Infrared</b>, a vibrant orange which screams summer. Infrared was my go-to colour on holiday and continues to be a favourite for nighttime, whereas Macaroon is gorgeous for everyday wear.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
At £8 a piece they are by no means the cheapest lipsticks on the high street but with a texture good enough to rival MAC's creamsheen offerings and lasting power of a good 2-3 hours on the lips, I will definitely be picking up more of Topshop's lipstick offerings!</span></center>

Skinny jeans are usually my holy grail trouser option, yet boyfriend style jeans are suddenly growing on me. They are easy to style up or down and are ridiculously comfy and slouchy to wear. For daytime I pair mine with my new favourite item of clothing ever, a H t-shirt (<i>H for Hannah, geddit</i> ;) and a printed cardigan thrown over the top. Converse are the obvious choice to finish the outfit for everyday comfort.</span></center>

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">So we are already midway through September and summer has pretty much waved goodbye for another year. To get away from England's slightly bipolar end of season weather I jetted off to Lanzarote with my family and after a few packing disasters, a lot of forgotten products and much borrowing from my beloved sister, I whittled my holiday beauty products down to a perfect fit!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Stand outs were <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/origins-zero-oil-deep-pore-cleanser-with-saw-palmetto-and-mint-150ml/p126431" target="_blank"><b>Origins Zero Oil Cleanser</b></a>, a sample which has lasted me a good couple of holidays, and cuts through any tough to remove facial sunscreen leftovers leaving my face squeaky clean. On my face I was using <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/La-Roche-Posay-Anthelios-XL-Extreme-Face-Fluid-SPF50-50ML_866323/" target="_blank"><b>La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL</b></a>, SPF 50 which left me burn free at the end of the week. One problem I alway encounter with this product is the white cast it leaves over my skin making me look even more washed out, so I pair this with <b><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Origins-Vita-Zing-Energy-boosting-Moisturizer-with-Mangosteen-1-7-fl-oz-50ml_1129423/" target="_blank">Origins VitaZing Moisturiser</a></b> which has both a tint and SPF, <i>double whammy</i>. This was my ultimate favourite product this holiday as somehow I managed to forgot foundation so used this as a super light and glowy base in the evenings, paired with a swirl of <b><a href="http://www.asos.com/Nars/NARS-Bronzing-Powders/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1569257" target="_blank">Nars Laguna Bronzer</a></b> all over the higher points of my face and a touch of <b><a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/lips/lipgloss/pout-polish" target="_blank">Sleek Pout Polish </a></b>in <b>Electro Peach</b> on the lips.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">In terms of sun protection, I love <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/the-sun-mousse-SPF-30_1046597/" target="_blank"><b>The Sun Mousse</b></a>, a very weird formula which is super easy to apply and one application usually lasts me all day. While it is difficult to spread, it doesn't leave me sticky and uncomfortable as other brands such as Nivea and Garnier have in the past. I also relied on my <b><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-Liquid-Bronze-Self-Tanning-for-Face-and-Decollete-125ml_17653/" target="_blank">Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning</a> </b>to add some colour to my otherwise very pasty complexion, as for some reason I am resistant to developing a tan!</span></center>

<span style="color: #444444;">The infamous <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/category/clothing-427/jeans-446/joni-super-high-waisted-jeans-1108?geoip=noredirect" target="_blank">Topshop Joni</a> jeans have fast become a staple in my wardrobe, and while they are fantastic for everyday being super stretchy and comfy, they are also my answer to less shiny Disco Pants for a night out! I paired them with my <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tops/cream-metallic-lace-hanky-hem-crop-cami-_290905879" target="_blank">New Look lace top</a> which everyone and their mother seems to own, and of course my trusty Primark cut out boots. I cant seem to peel these off my feet at the moment as they seriously go with everythannnng, even if I <i>was</i> hobbling along the morning after as they are not the most comfy shoes in the world!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Makeup was kept reasonably natural with just black liner, neutral eyes and my favourite <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/accessories/ardell/g/naturallashesdemiwispies/" target="_blank">Ardell Demi Whispies</a> to top off the eyes with soft coral lips. For once I wore my hair natural on a night out which I realised half way through the night was a mistake... hot nightclubs and untameable hair are not a good mix! For finishing touches I added my favourite silver spiked necklace from Republic, which is gorgeous but must always remember to try to not poke someone's eye out whilst hugging them!</span></center>

Embarrassingly, this is only my everyday brush collection, or at least the ones I reach for on a slightly more regular basis that I like to have on hand. I have at least 2 (<i>wince!</i>) more brush organisers with a whole load more brushes which rarely see the light of day and are currently gathering dust in a draw, forgotten and unused!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
Of course, like any beauty blogger, my collection consists largely of <i>Real Techniques</i> by the infamous <i>Samantha Chapman</i>. Her face brushes, especially the ever popular <i>Buffing Brush</i> make foundation application literally a quick swipe, 5 second step to perfect skin, and her <i>Deluxe Crease Brush </i>will forever be a favourite of mine for quick and easy concealer application. I also adore her <i>Contour Brush</i> for pinpoint application of cream blush and use her <i>Blush Brush </i>adversely to add a smattering of powder over any shine. My <i>Zoeva 127 </i>is extremely useful for adding powder blush as a final step to ramp up the colour- you can never be too blushed is my motto! Finally my <i>Expert Face Brush</i> is often neglected until I rediscover its extraordinary ways of blending out any over application of foundation or colour all over the face!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">
In terms of eye brushes, Real Techniques are not as potent, yet I adore the <i>Base Shadow Brush</i> for a quick and easy wash of colour. I also use both the<i> Detailer Brush</i> and <i>Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush</i> for inner corner highlights, whereas actual eyeliner application is reserved for the supreme power of the Cozzette<i> D300</i>. Blending and crease work is taken to new levels by the magical<i> Zoeva 227, 231</i> and <i>228</i> along with detail work using my old but trusty <i>ELF Defining Eye Brush</i> and <i>Crease Brush.</i> Finally an old faithful angled brush which has neither a name or brand is reserved for brow use when I want a bolder look.</span></center>

Although of course I don't use all these brushes on an everyday basis, they are all my absolute favourites and are amazing at their jobs! <b>What are your favourite brushes?</b></span></center>

I will spare you a very up close and personal picture of my teeth, but lately I have been indulging myself in a little whitening. Not having been blessed with beautiful pearly whites I have always been a little self-conscious about my less than perfect teeth, but after wearing braces for 2 years during my early teens I decided not to waste all that hard work and invest in a few whitening products. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not being able to afford the £200 price tag of professional treatment, I opted for Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects, an American product I purchased from Ebay for around £20 for a 10 day course (similar<a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CREST-3D-PRO-EFFECTS-PROFESSIONAL-TEETH-WHITENING-WHITESTRIPS-5-7-10-14-20-40-/300939087589?pt=UK_HealthBeauty_DentalCare_RL&var=&hash=item46115e0ee5" target="_blank"> seller here</a>!). Using these for half an hour each day by sticking the plastic sheets to both the upper and bottom teeth really did make a big difference to my overall smile. I would take a guess that my teeth dropped about 3 or 4 shades in colour, considering they were pretty yellow to begin with and are now a much nicer cream colour. I will never have perfect pearly white teeth, but this does make me a lot more confident with my smile and for £20, <i>why not?!</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Things to bare in mind; these may cause a little sensitivity, I had some by about day 8 but persevered and it disappeared a few days after I finished the 10 day course, also these do not work on veneers or anything other than real teeth! I had a few teeth problems when I was younger resulting in me having to have some extra build up on my canines which is technically not real tooth so the strips did not whiten them. I think if I went any whiter with the strips this may become a lot more noticeable so am reluctant to go whiter without a visit to my dentist first! I also use whitening toothpaste to maintain the colour (normally <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Macleans-Whitening-Toothpaste-100-ml_1187/" target="_blank">Macleans</a>!) but will probably do another course of whitening within the next 6 months to keep up the colour, unfortunately it wont last forever!</div>
