| Real Techniques: expert face brush and buffing brush Eco Tools: blusher, concealer and angled brushes Body Shop: angled brush |
 |
| Apply Benefit's Erase Paste under the foundation to cover dark circles and blemishes. I find it's too heavy for on top of foundation. Any concealer brush will do Apply foundation and blend in. I pump some on my hand first and then dot on my face and then use the expert face brush to blend in. I use 2 brushes to use the Benefit Browzings Palette because I like to separate the wax and the powder. |
 |
| Use Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer on any areas that need something extra. I put some down my noses and between my eyebrows too. Apply your face powder in you T-zone. I use Rimmel Stay Matte powder and put some under my eyes too so that my concealer sets. Dab your brush in your blusher, if your using Sleek like me, you only need a tiny bit and then you can build it up. I put my blush on my cheekbones and up too my temples, when I'm not wearing bronzer as well. |
 |
| This is the shade of coral I used, surprisingly, it's just called Coral. |
 |
| Finally, the best bits, mascara and lips. I used the No 7 mascara first and then went over it with the Maybelline wand. And to finish it off, I used Maybelline Super Stay 24 Bold Matte in Fire Coral and it's amazing. |

I knew I wanted to come to Falmouth University as soon as I saw it, I just felt so at home straight away, that's not even mentioning how beautiful it here and the academic and creative benefits. So here is my list of why I think Falmouth is the best (and worst) place in the world.
One: Firstly, and most importantly; the People. I'm sure this is the same at every university but everyone here just knows each other and they can always collaborate and help each other. I've met some really amazing people here and meeting new people was definitely what I was most excited about before I moved.
Four: Halls, the best and most expensive there is. We have a cleaner, someone who takes our recycling away and our compost bin, a TV in the kitchen - which is rare, a double bed and relatively large room. And it looks like Centre Parks.
Why can Falmouth feel like like the worst place in the world?
Nightlife - Okay, I would seriously advise coming for a night out in Falmouth if you can before you make your decision (and if you consider going out a priority). I didn't but I wish I did although I don't think I would have been swayed that much. There are 2 clubs, one nicknamed Club STI, it's not bad but it's the same thing every week and Vanilla which I am yet to see. However there are some really nice bars like Toast and the SU puts on club nights about once every 2 weeks and they're always worth it.
Transport - Getting anywhere costs a lot unless you have a car or are going to Truro on the train. Truro on the bus is £4, a taxi to the main campus from Falmouth Town is £10, if you don't have your student card or someone is visiting and the don't have a Falmouth or Exeter one, the bus to town is £3 ish for a single. That all sounds normal for other places but there's not a lot to do in Falmouth so it hardly seems worth it.
Shopping - Falmouth for shopping is very poor, the best it gets is New Look and Boots. There is a really nice vintage shop at the very top of the high street, up a hill and at the very bottom there's one called Wild Pony but for anything else like Topshop, River island, Starbucks, it's Truro.
Isolated - I don't know if this is every University but, here it feels really isolating, like you're in a bubble and nothing going on in the world affects you. I rarely watch the news any more which is really bad. It may because it's Cornwall but, sometimes you feel really cut off which is nice when you're on the beach with a hot chocolate and you know you're in the best place you can be but on a bored rainy Sunday when your work is done and you've cleaned your kitchen and bedroom, it's crazy boring.
Ketamine - Finally, the drug of Falmouth is Ketamine - Horse Tranquilliser. I haven't had any or want any for that matter. There are drugs wherever you go but I think or at least I consider horse tranquilliser to be the dirtiest, just don't.
I definitely think that the good things out weigh the bad, Plymouth isn't too far for a decent (ish) night out, about 2 hours on the train. Neither is Newquay although I've never been there. I would advise you to have a list of things to do on cold rainy days... like blogging!

I've met some really amazing people here and meeting new people was definitely what I was most excited about before I moved.
Two: Beaches. We decided today that by choosing Falmouth we compromised a good night life for amazing beaches... That never crossed my mind before. You won't find anywhere like Gylly Beach and the Hot Chocolates and cakes in the Cafe are on point.
Three: Creativity, in the buildings and students at the University and in the events they put on. In general, it feels like a really positive place to be.

What I ordered from ASOS |
| ASOS Spring Break Pointed Heels - Green £25 On the website, these look mint green and here actually but they are actually a darker green, they're growing on me. |
 |
| ASOS A-line Mini Skirt In Ponte - Pink - £18 I didn't realise how similar this skirt is to one I already have and I think the lime colour would've have been better but, this one is comfier because of the elastic waistband. They are different, okay? |
 |
| United Colours of Benetton Sweatshirt in Galaxy Print - £24 BARGAIN This is actually for Nathaniel but, I love these grey sweatshirts and I almost bought one for myself. |
 |
| Nike Just Do It T-shirt - Black - £17.50 I jumped on this logo thing that ASOS are instagraming. I thought this was really good for styling and also for the gym. Two birds, One stone and all that. |
 |
| ASOS Snood in Twist Yarn - £4 Mine's getting a bit tired and these colours are a little more muted. |
 |
| I FINALLY BOUGHT AN ASOS FUR COLLAR ASOS Faux Fur Long Collar - Grey - £14 Again, mine is just getting tired and it always falls off. This was on sale so it's a bonus. |
