Week 17&18 (April 13-27): Sale Haul Newness + Shop Your Stash! Donโt let your new items gather dust, try them out and post your thoughts! If youโre on a low/no buy, please shop your stash and share what you love about the items you chose!
Thanks for 2+ amazing years and some amazing collabs for the Makeup Challenge! Iโve updated some new themes for March and early April below. I hope you will join me in sharing your looks, flatlays, or tags for items you use in each challenge!
Upcoming Weekly Challenge:
Week 10 (Feb 24- March 2): Lunar/ Chinese New Year Looks - This is a little late but the 24th was the lantern festival, so I think we can still celebrate this week!
Week 11 (March 3-9): Iโm Cold Makeup Trend - This oneโs been on the list for a while and I would love to try it out and see your looks!
Week 12 (March 10-16): March Sentimental Items - Any makeup items that spark a memory or have sentimental value for any reason, big or small. Let us know what is special about these items!
Week 13 (March 17-23): Dolly Week! Anything inspired by the Americaโs darling, Dolly Parton!
Week 14 (March 24-March 30): 5 minute Makeup Face & Faves - Share your go-to quick and easy face and favorite items! Super-collab with Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge and Sephora Six - Fast & Furious Edition
Week 15 (March 31-April 6): Cartoon influence (i.e. Jem/she-ra/bratz/anime/etc) - I know Iโm dating myself with Jem and She-ra but I thought itโd be fun to recreate a look from any cartoon!
Week 16 (April 7-12): Pastels!! (Iโll update the next few weeks soon but have been wanting to explore some pastels for Spring.)
Completed 2023 Weekly Challenges:
๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐
We celebrated the One Year Anniversary of this thread in November!! Although, somehow the challenge ended up with 61 weeks in a year, Iโm not sure how that happened, lol.
Anyway, I figure in year two, weโll do some repeats and some new challenges. I also plan to add in some bonus hair challenges, maybe once a month.
Okay, for simplicity, Iโm going to update the numbering to be Week 1 for the new year, I hope that is not too confusing. Iโll try to get 52 weeks in the year this time! I guess I also need to update the title for 2023.
Week 1 (Jan 1-7): Focus on brows week! Do a bold brow or shimmery brow or just spend more time on your brows this week. Inspired by @SportyGirly125
Week 2 (Jan 8-14): Rock a red lip week! If this is a regular for you, rock it as normal, or add a fun element, like gloss or add glitter/shimmer to it. Suggested by @JoSometimes
Week 3 (Jan 15-21): Shop your stash/forgotten favorites! Dig into your stash/archives for something you havenโt used in a long time and renew your love or re-evaluate)
Week 4 (Jan 22-28): Chopping block/declutter week! Are there any items that you have been wondering about getting rid of? Do they still work, bring joy, serve a purpose in your collection? No pressure to get rid of anything, but just want to dedicate a week to evaluate some items on the heels of forgotten favorites week!!
Week 5 (Jan 29-Feb 4): Skin prep/Complexion focus week! Take extra time this week with your skin prep. Exfoliate or use a hydrating mask prior to makeup, use a luminous or mattifying primer, foundation and/or setting spray. And/Or, focus this week on using a skincare device or skincare product if youโve been neglecting one you own.
Week 6 (Feb 5-11): Get out of your comfort zone week! Suggested by @josometimes. This is a chance to try something new and experiment a little. If you love a red lip, try hot pink or neutral. If you love neutrals, maybe add some color. Or, wear a bolder look out to run errands or on a night out to gain confidence with a different look! Please feel free ask for tips and tricks if youโd like suggestions on techniques, color or product recommendations and share your experience and tips for others as you try something new.
Week 7 (Feb 12-18): Red/Pink/Shimmer/Glitter or whatever you want for Valentineโs/Galentines Day (inspired by @imaster
Week 8 (Feb 19-25): Pantone Color of the Year Viva Magenta week! I miss the past Sephora + Pantone collaborations, so letโs make our own.
Week 9 (Feb 26-Mar 4): Luxe brands or Luxe items. If it feels luxe to you or makes you feel fancy, use it and post it, whether itโs Target or Tom Ford, LโOrรฉal or La Mer!
Bonus Hair Challenge for February: Hot Rollers or Velcro Rollers and/or other techniques for volume.
Week 10 (March 5-11): Matchy matchy week! Match your makeup to your clothes, or jewelry or hair accessories, a scarf or something you wear! Inspired by @sportygirly
Week 11 (March 12-18): Green week! For St. Patrickโs Day, letโs show off all our green looks or otherwise Irish inspired looks! ๐๐๐๐
Week 12 (March 19-25): Use something in a different way (safely) - An opportunity to use your lipstick as blush, your eyeliner or eyebrow pencil on lips, be creative! (Just remember, some items are not tested and may not be safe for eyes or lips)
Week 13 (March 26-April 1): Cherry Blossom Week - while the peak bloom may vary around the world, let's use this week to be inspired by the beauty of the cherry blossoms. Oh, if you happen to live where you get to see the real cherry blossoms, please share those pics, too!
Week 14 (April 2-8): Spring Looks week! What makes you think of spring? Gloss, pastels, spring runway looks?
Week 15 (April 9-15): Holy Grail week! I think maybe @josometimes or @titian06 suggested this one? Use your Holy Grail products that are tried, tested and loved and be sure to share why it's a fave!
Week 16 & 17 (April 16-29)***: Sephora Spring sale - newness/or anything you havenโt gotten around to wearing/or shop your stash. (Note: I'm not sure when the Spring sale is happening, so I may move this one.) ETA: well, it's timed perfectly for shopping in store, though online purchases may not make it in time! Feel free to keep posting spring sale newness into the following weeks!
(***I made the executive decision to extend this one more week since orders are still coming in!)
Week 18 (April 30-May 6): Multichromes week! There have been so many great multi-chrome products and palettes lately, so let's make sure to showcase them!
Week 19 (May 7-13): April Showers bring May Flowers week! This can be a bright and springy look, or a rain-inspired look (or a combo of both!).
Week 20 (May 14-20): World Makeup! A look or trend from around the world. There are lots of K-beauty trends, like crying girl, popsicle/gradient lips, blush, something like a Parisian chic look, or anything else you can think of! (Suggested by @josometimes)
Week 21 (May 21-27): Barbiecore! I was actually never a fan of dolls or Barbies as a kid, and the flood of Barbie on Instagram recently was kind of annoying to me, but I also have a soft spot for pink and Barbie, so I thought Iโd add to the challenge. Can be anything from subtle to all out Barbie.
Week 22 (May 28-June 3): Social Media Inspired! Recreate a look and/or create your own look inspired by an influencer you love, or use makeup to recreate a filter. Post a side by side to share with us.
Week 23 (June 4- 10): Festival! Go all out with Glitter / Color / Braids / Hair Accessories or go easy and fresh!
Week 24 (June 11-17): Earth Week! Highlight more sustainable or green makeup brands. Or even just a play on blue, green, or even earthy tones to celebrate the earth.This is a little out of order but summer is a great time to connect with and celebrate the earth! (Suggested by @josometimes)
Week 25 (June 18-24): Summer Solstice! Create a look based on whatever makes you think of summer, maybe a sunny look, bronzed beauty, or zodiac inspired look.
Week 26 (June 25-July 1): Celebrate Pride! I know pride events vary widely by cities, so if you happen to do a pride look in another week, feel free to post anytime!
Week 27 (July 2-8): 4th of July! Letโs see those red, white and blues., fireworks inspired or just summery BBQ looks.
For your summer slays, there will be some additional cheeky challenges - cheers to @danielledanielle for proposing this fun collab with the weekly challenge! Let's get cheeky, chicas and chicos!

Week 1-2 (Break)

Jan 21-27: Hot Toddy Week. Think bright and sultry, go for golds and honey or amber colors.
Jan 28-Feb 3: Espresso Martini\Martini Week. This is the martini look - green and shimmer, but you could also add a deep lip to it or go for brown or plum version.
Feb 3-10: Maiden's Blush or Cosmopolitan Week This is the one that started it - Maiden's Blush, by RMS beauty. It's coral, shimmery and warm.
Feb 11-17: Red Wine & Hot Chocolate - If you do partake in alcohol, try this it's delicious. The look speaks to red and brown, but again, you choose.
Feb 18-24: Pink Blush /Blush Wine - Essentially, this is a pink look, but pinks have all sorts of tones, so have fun playing with this, whether it's all pink or a pop of pink.
โโโ
So, I could definitely (still) use some makeup inspiration these days and maybe you could too! Several years ago, we used to have some weekly makeup challenge threads, so Iโm bringing one back. Itโs a great way to spark some creativity and maybe most importantly, a great way to shop your stash!
I started with a list of some challenges below, but also happy to edit/rearrange/consider other ideas along the way. I hope you will join me! Feel free to post as many or as few times youโd like each week with photos of your looks. If you donโt like to post your face, feel free to do a flatlay of the products you used to do your look. Also, if you get behind or ahead, feel free to post pics whenever you have time.
Canโt wait to see all your looks! Have fun! Please feel free to suggest some other challenge ideas in the thread and weโll add to the coming weeks!!

Thank you @dimesandnichols! It was just a sample. Not sureI can justify a full size, especially with all the other reds sitting in my stash.
Wow! You looks absolutely stunning @JoSometimes ! I love your beautiful pink look matching your spectacular magnolia! ๐ฉท๐ฉท๐ฉท๐ฉท
Thank you @Saradestin! The magnolia is the real star here. ๐
I disagree @JoSometimes, the star is you! ๐ธ
Youโre too kind @Saradestin. Thank you! ๐
You look beautiful! Your magnolia is lovely - in Samoan, thatโs called a sei (when you wear the flower in your hair)! I miss warmer weather flowering trees!! @JoSometimes
Thank you @sister13! Itโs a surprisingly hardy tree and blooms a couple times a year.
I didnโt know wearing a flower had a name. Do you have connections to Samoa?
I love magnolias! And yes, my husband is from American Samoa. I shave been to Am. Samoa twice and to Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) once. I think Iโm spelling it right (sei), but itโs basically pronounced โsayโ. People wear them all the time, whether running errands or a special occasion. They have so many gorgeous flowering plants and bushes. The gardenias are my favorite, they are so beautiful and fragrant! @JoSometimes
I love the idea of the sei being both formal and casual @sister13!
Iโm a bit jealous that youโve been there so many times! Samoaโs been featured in mainstream media quite a bit lately. Iโd love to visit some day. ๐๏ธ
Oh how interesting! Samoa has more resorts and a little more places geared towards tourism (without being touristy at all) than American Samoa. Both are incredibly beautiful. We are hoping to try to get back there every year but weโll see. @JoSometimes
You look great, @JoSometimes ! ๐ I love the flower in your hair! ๐บ
Thank you @Titian06! The magnolia tree in my backyard was in full bloom. I helped myself to one of its flowers. ๐๐ธ
I went with May showers since it just literally rained for three days straight here! Everything is soggy!!
This is Natasha Denona Mini Pastel Eyeshadow Palette and the other shade of the LE NARS lip tint that I used the other day. This is Ephelide, also prettier than I remembered. The eyeshadow has a really lovely sparkle in real life, from the blues but also that green-godly-pinky shifty shade. Also styled my hair for
the first time in a while!
โ

Iโll update some new challenges for May and June tomorrow! ๐๐๐
We had a ton of rain last week too, your look is full of May Showers vibes ๐ง ๐ @sister13 Beautiful as always ๐ฉต
This week, weโve had some some but more rain, too! Thank you! @CynthieLu
Your top is beautiful everything goes together like perfection @sister13
Thank you so much! I need to figure out my wardrobe again after COVID, I have so many office-y clothes and lounge clothes, not much in between but I do like this top! @lmaster
Stunning, gorgeous, beautiful @sister13!! And that hair! ๐ต๐ต๐๐๐
Thank you so very much! @Saradestin
That palette is perfect for this look @sister13. And I love that top! ๐
And too bad about the rain, though Iโm sure all the flowers in your area are very happy now.
Thank you! Iโm trying to switch it up from just a T-shirt sometimes , lol! @JoSometimes And yes, and the trees suddenly have leaves!
