Well first of all i'd really like to apology if you judges don't like my attitude. Now that i am so close to the end i don't want to ruin my chance. Well tbh .. idk I was just pissed of Amanda's comments and the way she word it last week about reusing a photo that wasn't even used (i mean how can a double submission reward be such a disadvantage in the future?).. also her comments in the results thread really made me feel like she must've really wanted me gone. Well it made me sad at first.. then i became pissed. I'm sorry but that's how i took the comments and i just wanted to be honest about what i felt. So now like i said i don't really want to ruin my chance in winning because of this. I'm sorry if my attitude has been bad lately. I realized this will just make me more hated. I'll get over all this and I just wanted to apologize esp to you Amanda since i know you loved me Like i'm not going to talk anything about it now and start to think positive. Forgive?

Let me clarify something: I did not want you gone, I just thought you should have been eliminated given 1) the re-use of a photoshoot for the second time this game and 2) the attitude. You were right - the attitude did make it worse. I'm sorry for not being crystal clear on that - I definitely did not want you gone until you called me biased (and after that I did). I just didn't think that using the same photoshoot for the second time should lead to moving on. That's it. It's all okay now - you're forgiven Anyway, judging! Amanda: I'm not completely sure about the lipstick one here. It looks nice, yeah, but the pose and angle are sort of awkward, so your shoulder is in front of your mouth. That sort of takes the focus somewhat off of your mouth. It's good, but it isn't great or overly memorable - and at this stage of the game, that could be a problem. The mascara shoot... wow, your eyes are fantastic. I do take issue with the neck, however, since the angle of it looks sort of weird, but that's not too big an issue for me. My attention is immediately drawn to those eyes, and that's what we want here. Great job on this one!

Emma: I like both of these quite a bit. The lipstick one looks like it could be a real Covergirl ad, with the caveat that the cropping is rather unfortunate. The top of your head is cut off, and that really kind of shifts the focus a bit lower than it's intended to be. That being said, the lips really pop quite nicely here, and the hair is also well done.
The mascara shot is absolutely gorgeous, and I honestly can't think of a single negative thing to say about it. Incredible work!

Émilie: Actually, I have news for you, Emma: They both are actual CoverGirl ads. Rihanna is a real life CoverGirl, after all.
This shoot was a little too easy for you, as Rihanna had ads that work for both of the actual products given. I would've loved for you to take a risk and choose something that wasn't actually for CoverGirl.
The first one, it's easy, breezy, beautiful. It's the covergirl style, and you look approachable and relatable. The lips are the central point of this advertisement, and they look amazing. It's a very girl next door look, and reminiscent to the classic CoverGirl style.
The second is a newer CoverGirl style photo. As you know, short hair makes your bone structure pop out, but your bone structure, your neck and your lips look really uncomfortable and forced. As for the product yes, it's showcased beautifully, but I am still unsure about the uncomfort in the photo. It sort of takes away from the CoverGirl look. "She looks good, but she doesn't look comfortable. Maybe this product is giving her a bad reaction to her skin. I shouldn't buy this." Just one scenario.

Yup Taylor is a real covergirl too As for the mascara one i love that one i have no doubt when i found that one photo. I found other photos too but the focus wasn't really the mascara. It was the hair and the other stuff. And as for the lipstick one i really wanted to do this one. However i am not going to make myself more hated since i used the photo from the same photoshoot last season. I wish i could use this one. But i'm satisfied with what i've done and hopefully i can make it to the finale.

Yoona: I think you came up with both strong photo this week. I love the lipstick one better than the mascara. I think the color looks great on you. As for the mascara the angle wasn't great. Look at your neck. But the execution for both photo were nicely done this week. Going to be super hard for us judges this week
