About just over a month ago I attended a book discussion at a local library. Someone walked up to me and said something like “you look great, but your profile picture sucks”! Ouch! At the time I wasn’t sure if I should consider it a compliment or not? Afterwards, I realised it was actually a compliment! Being a plane Jane, hardly wearing makeup and with no hairdo skills, it surely was a compliment.
I posted something on my Facebook page and said something like: I think I need makeover! Who will sponsor me? In a flash there was a hairdresser and before I knew what was going on she organised a photographer, a nail technician and a make up artist. I even had clothes sponsored for the photo session.
My only requirement was that I had to easily duplicate what they do: be able to do my make up the same, as well as do my hair easily – I have hair as difficult as my attitude! It felt absolutely great to be spoiled by everyone.
Thank you to all my SPONSORS. This makeover could not have happened without you girls! You all ROCK! I still think you should work on a package for the occasional makeovers! It is so good for one’s self confidence.
Carien from The CaveMan Cut for the fabulous color, botox treatment and hair cut!
Angelique from Angelic Beauty for my beautiful make up!
Luzanne from Inge Myburgh Studio for my gorgeous acrylic gel overlay in my favorite blue!
Mandy from Frozen Perfect Photography for my amazing photos. You just knew how to make me feel at ease. Thank you.
Kyla, all the way in the West Coast, from The Lash Flash … Lash Bar and Beauty Parlour for my beautiful lashes and powder brows. I’ll take a drive to the West Coast again for your professional service!
Seline from Seline’s Boutique for the beautiful outfits for our photo shoot!! It is so difficult to choose clothes when you are budget restricted, because you just want everything!
Here is some photos of the process and the end result … I think the photos speak for itself! I had a great day and the change is so good!
All these lovely outfits is from Seline’s Boutique in Joostenbergvlakte. I already purchased one of these items, and am looking forward to some more shopping.
This is not the last of the makeover … keep watching this space for more to come in the next few months!
