It’s official, exams are over for another year! The Exeter party girl you left behind in term one can rise from the ashes and be reborn. Your calendar has been growing for months; Hijacked, EGB, end of season dinners, and long-overdue birthday parties for those poor May babies who had their birthday during exam times. The ‘nice jeans and a top’ combinations are dusted off and brought back to the front of the wardrobe, and those bottles that you promised yourself you wouldn’t touch until the day of your last exam are beckoning.

Whilst the world is a wonderful place again, the Exeter party girl now has to deal with another problem: how can you juggle going out five nights a week and spending your days sat in the Exmouth sun without it having a detrimental effect on your skin and hair? Since you don’t want your beach pictures to scream ‘she had seven shots of Tequila last night and fell down the stairs’, we have come up with the ultimate beauty tips to keep you looking amazing, even if you’re hiding that hangover!

 

The eyes have it.

 

 

It’s true that the eyes are the window to the soul – unfortunately they are also the window to the copious amounts of Jager and three hours sleep from the night before. Going out and partying have a detrimental effect on our eyes and can leave them looking dull and tired, which is the last thing you need if you constantly need to be looking great for those candid pictures!

Fortunately, the beauty God’s have granted us the wonder that is eye-serum. We’ve selected some student-budget friendly serums that’ll have your peepers looking more sparkling and less ‘I’ve been awake for 48 hours, please help me’.

Snack your way to beautiful.

 

No excuses ladies! For the majority of us, staying healthy over exam period was a pipe dream, but now that the pressure of university has gone for another year, introducing yourself to a healthy diet will help you feel amazing, and is one of the best ways for the party girl to keep her skin and hair looking fabulous all summer long.

Food’s that are scientifically proven to help your skin, and will help you look and feel amazing include: blueberries, coconut water, yogurts and of course water, which will all provide your body with multi-vitamins and minerals that will wipe away those tired bags, and will even help stop party induced breakouts!
