Introduction: Series Challenge

Greetings from the Dark Side!

So what is this "Challenge Series" you ask? Well, let me start by telling you all a story...

After finishing my Game of Thrones series, I was at a loss as to what to move onto next. I asked you all on my Facebook as to whether I should continue my Legend of Zelda series or start on a Sailor Moon series. Most of you wanted to see Legend of Zelda, but a few also wanted a Sailor Moon series. This is when Pryanka Arora suggested that I do a blog challenge in which I let you all know what I will be basing my inspired looks on so that all of you are able to join in a create inspired looks as well. I thought that this was a really great idea! Kudos, Pryanka! You get all the credit for this idea :D

After thinking about it for a while, I decided that if this works out well I can make this into a monthly challenge. Each month will have a total of 3 monthly looks and each month will have a specific theme to it (hence the "Series" part of the name since I do most of my inspired looks as a series). I will pick out the 3 inspirations for each look and make post at the beginning of the month which you can all follow. I will be creating all 3 monthly looks, 1 per week. Any time during the week, I will post my look and any who participates can share their look as well. At the end of the month, I make a roundup post with my looks and the looks of all of you who participate.

Then I thought I could take this a step further to encourage you all to take part of this challenge. At the end of the month, I will hold a giveaway contest of sorts for those of you who chose to participate in the challenge. I'm not sure how I will decide the winner yet(maybe have a vote for the best look or have the person who made the most looks? IDK yet) but whoever wins will win a predetermined prize. So let's break this down into simpler steps, shall we?


                                                       Breakdown of the Series Challenge                                                

1. At the beginning of the month, I will create a post with pictures for all the month's looks. Each month will have a specific theme and each month will have 3 total looks.

2. Every week of that month,  I will create one look, my own rendition of the inspired look, and post it on my blog.

3. You will all be welcome to join in and create your own looks for the month's inspiration. You can send the look to my email (darksideofbeautyblog@gmail.com) or share it on my Facebook page. Of course, you can also post it on your own website and share the URL with me. You can do eye makeup, full-face makeup, or nails! If you do post your look on your website and/or Facebook, please be sure to give my blog a shout out so other people can join the Series Challenge as well!

4. At the end of the month, I will share all my looks and all your looks on my blog, Facebook, Twitter and give you credit for your work.

5. Those who participated will be entered in a giveaway and have a chance to win a prize! The winner will be decided after the month ends.

6. The month ends, and new month begins with a new theme!



If you have any questions about this, please let me know.

I hope to see many of you participate! Let's have lots of fun together! And in the words of my sensei: 頑張りましょう!(ganbarimashou!) (Japanese for "Let's work together!/Let's do our best!")

    1. For August there is a total of 3 looks because it is 1 look per week. If you wish you to participate, you can do all 3 (1 look per week) or just do 1 of the three. So no, this is not an every day challenge. So maybe if you are super busy busy until the end of the month, you can participate in the Week 3 look :D
