I've become a little obsessed with buying new make-up products to try recently. I've got what I see as quite a big collection already, but I'm on a mission to try new brands I've not really tried much from before.

ColourPop - Mondays In Malibu | Beauty beauty | beautycrowd | colourpop | mondays in malibu | review | swatches | uk | whenflowersfall

Now, it's not very often I win a competition, but I do like to enter them every now and then. So you can imagine my surprise when I won one of two ColourPop sets being given away by Beauty Crowd last week.

If you're in the UK, then you will know how hard it is to get hold of anything from ColourPop over here, and Beauty Crowd are trying their darned hardest to get them to let them stock them for Uk customers.

The set that I won was the 'Mondays in Malibu' eyeshadow collection, and it appeared on my door step yesterday morning. I have never been so excited and eager to take blog photos, all so I could put the products on my face.

The set consists of six of their super shock shadows, two pearlised finishes, one metallic, two satin luxe and one ultra metallic finish. They are beautiful.

The shadows are super duper soft, not powdery in the slightest, and almost feel like a cream. In the US, this set sells for $30, which I think is a bargain for the quality of these shadows.

GECKO is described as a soft opalescent green with a pink duo chrome. As you can see from the photo, it seems more pink than green; and I think that translates more than the green does.


SNAKEBITE is a warm gold with an ultra metallic finish. This is the most beautiful shade and would complement blue eyes perfectly.


SAND SWOON is a true pink shade and is described as a satin luxe finish. The pink has soft gold flecks throughout.


PRICKLY PEAR is my ultimate favourite in this collection. It is a metallic finish and is described as a warm toned plum with gold and pink throughout.


MIRAGE is a soft gold-green tone and is a pearlised finish. Upon swatching, I find the green is very subtle and is more of a gold.


HOT TAMALE is another satin luxe finish. It is a true mahogany brown, with copper sparkles throughout. This is a close runner for favourite again Prickly pear.



I swatched the shadows onto my arm, without any primer underneath. As I said above, they are all super soft and easily workable. I really hope that Beauty Crowd can get ColourPop on their side, and will be stocking the brand soon. The products are incredible and I would absolutely love to try their blushes and lippie stix. The US has gone bonkers for their new ultra matte lip creams recently, and I think they would be top of my purchase soon list, if they became readily available here in the UK.

Would you like to see ColourPop here in the UK? Let BeautyCrowd know on Twitter, and let's help persuade ColourPop to share their amazing beauty goodness with us.

The WFF Love Your Body Project - Fitness Watches fitness | health | lifestyle | watches | wfflybp | whenflowersfall

So, now that our motivation for this healthy lifestyle has made a total comeback, I'm on the hunt for a fitness watch. The problem is, is that there are so many to choose from.

Obviously each watch comes with different features, some connecting to an app to track your data. I just don't know which to choose.

I'd like something that will track my calories burnt, throughout the day, but also during a workout; anything else would be a bonus. My sleep hasn't been great recently, so I'm thinking one that can track my sleep pattern would be great too.

I'm leaning towards the Fitbit Charge HR. Purely as you don't have to wear a chest strap to track your heart rate. My other choice is the Polar A3000, but unlike the fitbit, you have to wear the chest strap whilst exercising. I can see this becoming something I wold forget, or get bored of putting on.

The only other big difference I can see, is the price. I think I'd be willing to pay a little more, for better functionality.

Gone are the days of me lusting over a fancy Marc Jacobs watch. This is the new obsession.

So, which one would you pick? Is there another that I'm missing that may be a better fit?

The WFF Love Your Body Project - August Goals health | healthy lifestyle | lifestyle | theWFFloveyourbodyproject | weight loss | whenflowersfall

Goals. Things I don't set very often, but have suddenly felt the urge to recently.

July has been a funny old month. Yet again, weight loss hasn't happened. I've been dotting between two pounds all month; but I have felt somewhat good about my body. I've had moments of frequent exercise, and I've found my love for being active again. It just makes me feel great. Food wise, I haven't been so good. I've pigged out on many occasions, and I feel that's the reason for a halt in weight loss. I see my lowest weight (currently 205lbs) and then think it's ok to over indulge for three days after. Then of course, it shoots back up.

I did on the other hand, see the photo above this month. I'm pretty sure I don't look like that anymore, I just need to tell my brain that. I never want to look like that again.

So, the goals...

- No weigh in's this month!

If I don't know how well I'm doing, I can't give myself an excuse to pig out. I'm hoping this will mean I can get over the 200lb hurdle.

- Exercise 5 times a week.

I would love to be an everyday kinda girl, but I just don't think it's realistic. Each week has hard days, and sometimes you just have to get into bed yourself once the baby is asleep.

- Buy a new dress that makes you feel amazing!

I'm actually having a night out with the girls at the beginning of September, so I need to find a cracking outfit. But what does a twenty five year old, mum of one wear on a night out these days. I can't get past the sea of crop tops and body con dresses that I keep seeing.

- Only one lazy PJ day a week.

I've fallen back into the habit of not getting dressed if I don't have to. It doesn't make you feel good, and it doesn't do much for your confidence. Time to nip it in the bud.

I also introduced WFFLYBP over on my channel today. If you would like to see me ramble on for a little while about why I'm doing this, click the link below. 

So what are your goals for August. Leave a comment below.

InstaWeek #02 instagram | instaweek | this week in photos | this weeks highlights | whenflowersfall

Helloooo, Sunshines!

What a strange old week it has been; and a stressful one at that.
Last Sunday saw us rushing Scout to A&E after a fight with a solid wood table. He totally lost his footing whilst playing and smacked his head directly on the corner. The swelling came out pretty quickly, but as with any head injury, we wanted it seen to as quick as possible. The hospital were great and saw him within an hour.

We did notice whilst there, that there were very little toys in the children's waiting room. It just didn't make sense to me, as I couldn't imagine Scout every sitting still whilst waiting to be seen for anything. We were lucky to go whilst it was quiet, but add an extra couple of hours onto our wait, and he would have been a very bored child. I decided to do something about it, and arranged a collection of donations from families in the local area. I then spent over an hour on Wednesday cleaning said toys. We are taking them to the hospital as soon as we get a moment.

With the abundance of new toys in the house, we've discovered that Scout loves cars and trucks, so he got to switch out one of his donations for this green dump truck. He's loving driving it up against our lovely freshly painted walls.
He's also discovered the fun that is our glasses. It's rare that we get to keep them on our faces at the minute.

I decided to brighten a boring week by refreshing my pink hair, and boy is it refreshed. More on the product I used to come.

Back to Scout... He's been taken some short naps this week. I'm hoping it's just a phase and we get our nice two plus hour naps back soon. On Friday, he woke up after forty minutes and regretted his decision.

We picked up a Munchkin 360 cup for him to use too this week. He's always trying to grab our drinks, so figured it would be a good time to try the magical voodoo that is this cup. Seriously, it's amazing.

We also dug our his first pair of Converse trainers. His Grammy picked the wrong size out by mistake when he was tiny, but they finally fit, and boy do they look cute!!

And finally, I got a whole day to myself to get some 'Sam stuff' done. I've planned and filmed a few videos, written a few blog posts (including this one), and relaxed. It's just what I needed unwind. As I write this, the boys are in town and I'm in an empty house, alone with the animals. I love my boys, but this is a moment on once in a while bliss.

What have you been up to this week. Leave your Instagram names down below, I'm always on the hunt for new accounts to follow.
