Created Elegance and Beauty

I am the creator of my outside expression—that is, I create my own beautiful elegance and fashion, and adorn myself with the jewelry of the heart which includes worship of God, wisdom, intelligence, and other virtues spoken of in Proverbs 31.  The spiritual tools that I use to create a powerful and harmonious spirit include the word of God, spiritual books, and training in the ways of God.

The tools that I use to create a beautiful outer expression include cleansing creams, foundations, eye and lip liners, and other make-up products. These products enhance my natural beauty and elegance, and allow me to combine bright and cool colors such as black, red, blue, orange, green, and white with fashion jewelry to create my own style and flair. Make-up products can be an expensive purchase if I am a novice buyer and shop when I am hungry.

When I first started purchasing make-up, there was allot, and I didn’t know which brand or brands were the best choice for me.  I walked around and looked at the samples on the counter.  I wasn’t excited about using sample make-up that allot of strangers had stuck their fingers in or put on their lips.  Moreover, I did not want to spend allot of money on make-up that I did not need, so I thought that purchasing a whole line of make-up from the same manufacturer was good.  It was good alright—good and expensive.  This is  shopping when hungry—having a strong need to make a change immediately no matter what the cost.

I really wanted to change my look, but I had not done any research about make-up.  I did not want to spend allot of money, but I did.  I was an eager shopper with no real knowledge, which made me vulnerable to product suggestions especially after I received a professional make-over at the make-up counter.  I wanted everything that was put on my face because I looked good; however, when I got home, things were different.

I loved the look that I had at the store, but I was not able to duplicate that look.  It took a while for me to gain the experience and knowledge to apply the make-up just right.  In time, the experience and knowledge that I gained not only helped me in applying make-up but in acquiring free samples to try before I made a purchase.
