Challenge #5 (A Tribute to Mum)


I loved this challenge! The reason being: I was able to do it with my mommy! We had to recreate a vintage photo our moms using the make up provided to us by Rimmel London. We had to do whatever we could to make the new picture as exact to the original as we possibly could. 
Was kind of great timing, because my mom and I have been going through all of our pictures for my graduation party (yes, I'm graduating high school finally!!!) My mom and I also bonded very well over this challenge! 


The picture above is the one I chose to recreate, it's a picture of my mom in high school. I love this picture! My mom's style was very simple and classic when she was my age, almost the exact opposite of my style. But it was so beautiful! And the one below is the recreation!


My mom was wearing a little bit of eyeshadow, so I used HD Glam Eyes, along with Match Perfection, Stay Glossy Lip Gloss, and blush, all by Rimmel London.


So, how do you think I did? Let me know!

I love you mommy!

Challenge #4 (Match Perfection)


 I'm pretty sure this was the most challenging challenge so far...going without makeup for 1 week! Ahh... Haha. Actually, this challenge was not that bad for me with the make up portion, but for the outfit portion it was difficult.

In the goody bag I received had the collection of Rimmel London's Match Perfection products. The foundations of the challenge were we could only use the Match Perfection products along with ONE other product we use everyday. The choices were a light lip gloss, eye liner, or mascara. I chose mascara, because when I don't wear mascara I feel bare and I look tired. The other part of the challenge was to blank slate our wardrobe for the week as well, wear clothing that isn't too "bang pow." This was difficult for me as well, because most of my style and clothing is bright, and crazy, but I somehow figured it out. ;D

I will say that this was the worst possible week for me to get this challenge. The reasons being on Friday I had prom and then Saturday I had my cousin's wedding, so for those 2 days I had to dress up and have make up on, but I decided to tone it down a little. In here are the pictures from all of the days.

My favourite product from the Match Perfection collection: Match Perfection Blush

Challenge #3 (High Definition Scandal)


For this challenge I was given more shades of the Glam EyesHigh Definition Eye Shadows and the challenge was to take articles of clothing from my wardrobe that are old and make them "new" again. I decided, since we were nearing the end of winter and flinging into spring I would take an flannel and a pair of capris I don't wear anymore and do some scissor work on them.


Above is the outfit I chose. My 10 year old step sister helped me come up with the idea for the modifications. Together we decided I would make the capris into roll over shorts and the flannel into a cropped vest. Below is the finished product!

For my makeup I used Purple Reign eye shadow, Soft Kohl eyeliner, and ScandalEyes mascara!
