Beauty.
How complicated is that? Is it found inside? Is it about symmetry? Is it only in the eye of the beholder?
Golly. I hope beauty doesn’t soley rely on our physical appearance. I think I have more bad days than good when it comes to outer beauty… or not. It depends on the place, and who’s lookin’ at me.
L’Bel (the sponsor of this review) has asked me to tell about a place I have been has made me feel beautiful… You be thinking about this question too… I want YOU to answer it as well 
I would have to say the place I feel most beautiful is when I am sharing life with the people I love… who love me…
It doesn’t matter what I look like, or how I feel inside… when I am sharing my time and life with people I love — I feel beautiful. They see past the physical imperfections (which are only a mere few, really…).
Even in my stress or sadness or struggle (times I consider my physical appreance the most unattractive… or after working-out, but then I stink too… I digress), my loved ones make me feel beautiful. I can have tear-stained cheeks… eyes red and puffy from crying. Yet I am beautiful to them.
Because they know Me, not just the blotchy cry-face girl sobbing on their shoulder. Or laughing. I cry when I laugh too.
I am a passionate woman.
I confess, if someone happens to think I am physically beautiful – I won’t chase THAT compliment away. I’m no fool! I’ll ask them to continue. I’m kidding. BUT I have come to realize my heart’s desire is to be considered a woman with a beautiful heart. A woman considered trustworthy, loyal, funny, deep… irresistible because of my sexy heart. My compassion. My wit. My girlish charm. My love and misguided passion… My quirky, sexy, beauty-filled heart.
That’s right. *two snaps up in a circle*
What about you? Tell me about a place you have been that makes you feel beautiful. Do and enter yourself for achance to win $500 worth of product from L’Bel Paris! I have been enjoying my new L’Bel moisurizing/cleansing products very much!
I have very dry skin and I have been using the L’Bel Essential moisturizing make-up remover, cleanser and toner. I can feel the moisturizer in the remover, cleanser AND even the toner! I was worried the moisturizer combo would not leave my skin feeling clean. There was no need to worry! What’s better… often after washing my face with most other cleansers, I rush to apply moisturizer. This cleanser and toner never left me feeling at all dry.
The Suprémacie Jour moisturizer and the Suprémacie Yeux eye cream are heavy enough for overnight use, and not too heavy for day wear. I have also also been using the facial treatment cream, but I am not noticing much change with that.
Something I am pretty picky about is scent. I have been delighted with the scent of each product, even the champagne scented body lotion. I was pleasantly surprised. Additionally, the facial products I have been using have a pretty scent, but is VERY light. I’d call it powdery, not at all perfumy. I am not a fan of flowery scents, so was a bit nervous, but I found L’Bel to be fresh and light!

I would have to say I feel most beautiful when I am going out to dinner with my husband. It doesn’t matter the restaurant, always getting ready for your spouse is something I believe in! You always try to look your best before you find that special someone, you should always try to look your best

The place I feel most beautiful is when I’m riding on the motorcycle with my hubby. I may not “look” so beautiful, but I can have fun, not worry how my hair looks and just enjoy the moment.

I always dress for church and make a little extra effort to look nice. It reminds me of being a child with my Dad on Christmas or Easter. Happy memories make me feel beautiful.

I always feel beautiful walking on the beach at sunset.
How do I answer that question…when I have felt loved and cared for with my family.
I feel bee-you-ti-ful when I’m with my guy. He has seen me after a day with no shower, weekends with no makeup, and in all my awful baby pictures (no hair, alien-like… you get the idea!), yet he still manages to make me feel as though I’m just as beautiful every day (no matter what) as when I am showered, eye-lined, lipsticked, & in brand-new clothes! Of course, I’m sure he’d love me with these beauty products at work, as well…
I’m not a blogger…but I laugh at yours every time. Glad I happened to “stumble” upon you! Your blogs make me laugh and laughing makes me feel pretty and real…real pretty. What makes me feel beautiful? I suppose throwing off the weekend mommy sweatpants and old t-shirt with no bra and gettin’ all gussied up and going out with my husbands or girlfriends, or all of the above! Or a childhood memory….being held by my grandma (I happened to call her “nannygoat”), the best grandma, and having her tell me I was beautiful. I believed her because at that moment in her arms I knew it was true. I was beautiful to her no matter what.
I miss nannygoat. Oh–and a dab of glitter always makes me feel a lil’ better about myself. I’m witcha on that, Jenny!
I feel beautiful when I’m holding my daughter and I walk by a mirror – glancing at us makes me feel like a million bucks!

I feel beautiful on a really rocking good hair day. A day where I had no idea my hair was gonna do such wonderful things and I must find places to go to be seen with great hair.

I usually feel beautiful after I’ve been to get a haircut. I have long hair, so it doesn’t happen all that often!

I feel my most beautiful when I am surrounded by those who know my flaws but accept them, and me. Those people who make me laugh like no other. Those are my most beautiful moments.
When I visited Taj Mahal with my hubby, it was such a place of beauty that is contagious. The story too about it is beautiful – Shah Jahan (emperor) had the Taj Mahal built as a testament of his love to his wife.
The wind blowing in my hair surrounded by beautiful scenes of nature.

I feel most beautiful in my husbands arms.
Going to my grandmas when I was a kid. She loves us all so much that it always made me feel special and beautiful
I feel most beautiful when my husband looks at me in *that way* only he looks at me. It’s like I’m the most beautiful person in the world.

I think a place that I’ve been that made me feel beautiful was a country club for a formal dinner. All dressed up and out on the town. I felt wonderful.
I love the gym! I feel great about taking care of myself,so I feel beautiful.

When I’m wearing the firefighter hat, multiple strands of beads, and stickers on my shirt having a tea party with my son and daughter. Then we are all just feeling so FANCY FABULOUS and BEAUTIFUL!
When I look at myself the way my 2 yr old quadruplets see me….i realize I am beautiful, especially to them. They help remind me daily of the strong woman I am! I’m so thankful for them and my husband!
Jenny
With my man… I can be in my sweats looking all grungy, but when he looks at me I know I’m beautiful.
I have to be honest the most beautiful place I have been has to be with my family in front of the Christmas tree this season. I think it is the first time in forever that now that the kids are older we can just sit and talk and just enjoy each other.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Most recent place I felt beautiful: I went recently to Sephora. I was a virgin Sephora customer (having never been). Two different women did my makeup. My eyes looked absolutely fantastic. My skin looked flawless (it’s really not). I was floating on air the rest of the afternoon-I felt so pretty.
