Weight Loss - The Journey So Far....

Like many women we had tried to lose weight over the years, with varying levels of success. You name it, we have probably tried it! So why was nothing working? This is a common question a lot of women ask themselves and we were no different. We would say "I just can't lose weight". Now we realise it has a lot to do with commitment, sticking with it and being disciplined. You don't achieve your goals by cutting corners! Everyone wants a quick fix but unfortunately there really isn't one!

We started off in January 2015; we decided to try Slimming World as we both knew people who had lost weight following their plan and it seemed pretty simple! At first we were both writing down our meals every day and counting 'Syns' exactly as the plan describes but we found after a few weeks we didn't need to as we became quite the experts on the plan! Once we got comfortable with the "diet" it just became normal life. To help with our meal planning we made a book of our favourite recipes from the Slimming World website and magazines that we rotate between and pretty much know what we can and can't have! Now we don't say to everyone 'I'm doing Slimming World' or 'I'm on a diet' because honestly, it just feels normal!

Fleur De Force for Eylure

We were so excited when we heard our favourite UK YouTuber Fleur De Force was bringing out a range of false eyelashes with Eylure! Now, we are by no means the type of people who wear falsies on a daily basis and we even struggle when it's a special occasion! Therefore we were really interested to try these new lashes as the ones we picked up are described as being 'enhanced with soft tip technology to ensure a completely natural and flawless finish'. 

Fleur has released four different styles of lashes but we could only get our hands on a pair of "Simply Fleur" which Fleur herself describes as perfect for those of us who have been scared of wearing falsies in the past. These lashes are very natural looking making them perfect for daytime wear and they have a fine band making them super easy to apply. They required no trimming and fit both of us perfectly as the lash length is not too long like some we have tried. They are so light and comfortable to wear and don't feel at all like 'falsies'! The range also includes some individual lashes and some half lashes we really want to get our hands on!

The Fleur De Force eyelash range is available in Boots stores now and the prices range from £5.25 - £6.95.

This is fantastic YouTuber collaboration so well done to Fleur in developing and putting her name to a really great and well thought out product. Can't wait to try the rest of the range! We will of course keep you updated on our experiences with the other styles on our social media!

 

Have you tried Fleur's lashes yet? We would love to hear your thoughts!
