Make Up on a Budget

• 

  Make Up on a Budget Web Application Front End

Inspiration

I was inspired by makeup videos, where it mentions budgeting for makeup.

What it does

Makeup on a Budget looks for makeup products found on the Sephora website that are under a certain amount of money (USD) and within a certain customer rating threshold. It adds the products to a beauty haul list and informs the user the total cost before taxes and fees. The user has the option to add the products to the Sephora cart.

How we built it

I wrote Makeup on a Budget as a Django web application with bootstrap CSS styling.

Challenges we ran into

The following are the challenges that I ran into:

• Needed to develop an optimizer for selecting beauty products
• Have to learn Django
• Only using a small sample data set of Sephora products, instead of retrieving the full list of products from the Sephora website

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of the fact that I was able to create a working prototype for the project in less than two weeks.

What we learned

I learned how to fully implement a web application using Django. I also learned about various optimization strategies for product cart optimizations.
