Post #7: Products from the No Mirror Challenge!

As promised, here are most of the products I used in my last video for the No Mirror Makeup Challenge.

First up is my favorite drug-store foundation. This is the Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation in 120 "Classic Ivory." You can get this from any CVS, Walgreens or Wal-mart and this is the Dewy and Smooth finish. If you like more of a matte look, they have that option as well.

I also love this Tarte Amazonian Clay matte bronzer in the color Park Avenue Princess. After years of searching for a non-orange, non-ashy bronzer, I have found the perfect hue in this one. This one is a little pricier and you can find it at your local Sephora.

For my beautiful eyebrows in my last video, you can use this fantastic eyebrow pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills in Dark Brown (also found at Sephora or Macys.com).

And this is what I REALLY wanted to share; my favorite eyeshadow palette at the moment, which is the Morphe 35O (orange shades) palette. This is one of the most affordable kits I have ever bought for the quality and you can find it at morphebrushes.com.

Please comment for any questions! I will continue to show you the products I am using and thanks for reading!

Post #6: The No Mirror Challenge!

Hi viewers!

I wanted to try a challenge I've seen on Youtube a few times before - the "No Mirror" Challenge! Without using a mirror or camera monitor, I applied a face of makeup and I manage not to poke any of my eyes out.

In the next post, I will show you what products I used in this video and will continue to do so throughout the rest of my video entries! Please like and/or subscribe and I will see you all next time.

Post #5: The Do It Yourself Challenge!

Hello again, spring breakers!


Hopefully you all enjoyed a week off and got a chance to do some travelling.


I, on the other hand, got to spend some time enjoying the beautiful Topeka weather and I spent a fun day with my friend Amelia! She let me film her while I told her how to put makeup on her face, which is a lot harder to do than I thought.  The entire time we were shooting, I wanted to jump in and show her what to do, but I restrained myself and the results weren't half bad.  Enjoy the video and hopefully you laugh at us as much as we did.

As always, thanks for watching!

Post #4: The "Wet N' Wild" Challenge

FINALLY. A challenge that did not turn out well at all whatsoever. In fact, it was quite the train wreck and my eyes are still stinging with the memory of cheap, melted chemically-spawned eyeshadow.

Wet N' Wild is a brand of cosmetics that is known for it's affordability. You can usually find its section in the very back of the makeup aisle, like the red-headed stepchild that it is.  Optimistically, I decided to try out a few products that seemed promising. Here was the result...

Post #3: The One Product Challenge!

This week I wanted to try something I have seen a few people do, but haven't tried myself! I used one product (MAC eyeshadow in Cranberry) on my eyes, cheeks and lips.  If you like this look, or just the shadow itself, you can find it at ANY MAC counter or store location. There is one in Topeka within the Dillard's store at West Ridge mall, which I have a map for down below.  Hope you like it and thanks for watching!

Post #2: The "Hands-On" Challenge!

This week I recorded a new makeup challenge video called the "Hands-On" challenge! Basically, I had to apply a whole face of makeup using the products alone (NO tools or brushes).  It opened my eyes to how much a good brush can do. This was totally for fun and not a real tutorial by any means unless you don't own any makeup brushes or they are against everything you stand for. Feel free to suggest any ideas you may have and thanks for watching!

Post #1: Welcome to The Makeup Challenge!

Hey everyone! My name is Mandy Daniels and I am a Mass Media (with an emphasis in Creative Advertising) student at Washburn University. I have a passion for beauty and cosmetics and I wanted to share that with all of you! I have recently gotten into filming and editing videos and I'm learning how to use Adobe Premiere Pro, so the majority of media you will see here will be tutorials or vlogs.

This blog is a place for me to let loose a little bit and challenge myself with anything makeup related for your entertainment. Every week will be something new and I am always open to suggestions! Thanks for viewing my blog and I hope you have as much fun as I do!
