{Makeup for the Heart!}

Tonight I had the privilege of meeting Jeannie and hearing her give her AWESOME testimony! I also had the privilege of having my OWN HEART renewed and refreshed by our most AWESOME GOD! YOU MUST READ HER STORY!



{Tried out the Falsies tonight! Pretty good for my first try!}




And in fact, you know what? with all the talk I do about how I like to play with products that make my FACE look a little prettier, I think it's very important to emphasize that having a PRETTY HEART is by far the most important BEAUTIFUL thing anyone could ever have! And boy does Jeannie have it!

I could tell you all day about different ways to beautify your face- maybe a touch of blush or a swipe of lipgloss- but that washes away and is temporary and let's just face it...how many of us can say that makeup truly changed our lives? CERTAINLY NOT ME. But I can tell you what has. And it's not temporary, it doesn't wash away, go out of style, or smudge. It's JESUS! If you want a BEAUTIFUL HEART all you have to do is ASK HIM FOR IT! HE will make it clean, sparkly, shiny, and new. And most importantly, He will make it more like HIS and it doesn't get much more BEAUTIFUL than that!

Just like makeup covers our flaws and scars, hides our imperfections, and makes us feel new and fresh---Jesus's blood heals our flaws and scars, covers our sin, and gives us a new life that is EVERLASTING!

Wanna know more about this BEAUTIFUL HEART I've been talking about? I'd love to tell you more! And I want you to know that getting pretty on the inside started a LONG time ago with a God who loved us SO MUCH that He sent HIS only SON, JESUS, to die on a cross for us, so that we could turn our ugly sinful hearts into something Beautiful and pleasing to HIM.

So, Do you have a CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL HEART? WANT ONE?

Just ask, it's yours for the taking!

Love,
Laura

{Fun with Miss Erica!}

Yesterday I was browsing around Belk, looking for some bargains, and I unexpectedly found myself sitting at the Lancome counter getting a litte "mini-makeover". The makeup Artist, Erica, (wish I had gotten a pic with her!) was super cute and sweet so I thought...WHY NOT???

I was able to sample several products and here are two of my favorties...both of which I recieved free samples!!! Yea!

First was Genefique...a serum that actually begins to repair your cells from the inside out and "have visibly younger skin in 7 days"...Sounds good to me!


It left my skin feeling so smooth and Erica compared the results of prolonged use to new baby skin and who wouldn't want that!

{Yay! Free Sample!}
It's pretty pricey though...so I'm gonna have to make that an investment in my skin and save up for awhile!

Next was the mineral powder makeup...

I thought it provided even coverage and a nice natural color. She had to put it in a clinique container because they were out at the Lancome counter. I just love this little sample!

So...Here's me after Erica worked her magic...


{No major changes because I stuck to my normal color palletes but my skin FELT younger....yay!}

Thanks Erica! You did an awesome job and it was nice to meet you!

Finally, my favorite part of the day was this...

I had been CRAVING a Mocha Light Frappachino from Starbucks and I made a special trip to get one. YUMMYY!
*Look how cute the little Java Chip sample is!* It was yummy, too!

Have a Beautiful day!!!
Love,
Laura
