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’ve been to Norris Lake, and the air was so clean, I felt beautiful.

I felt beautiful at a big old artists’ warehouse called The Brewery in L.A. at my son’s wedding. The bride’s dad walked her down the aisle and I walked my son, and we “gave away” our children to their new spouses. I received compliments all night about how beautiful I looked, and I knew it wasn’t my new gown or coiffure – it was the pure pride I felt in having raised this awesome young man, about to become a husband to an exquisite young woman; and the joy that overtook me as I saw how happy the new couple were, the genuine love and acceptance the bride’s family felt toward my son, and the promise of a beautiful new family as we all cried and celebrated together. That warehouse was heaven itself to me.

What a great giveaway!
I feel most beautiful at the beach. I don’t know if it’s the sea breeze or the sunshine, or maybe it’s just that I’m so happy to be there.

I feel most beautiful in a tropical climate because the humidity makes my hair nice and curly and my skin feels hydrated!

I felt the most beautiful when we went to the coast on the beach with my husband during sunset. It was incredible!
There’s something about the ocean that makes me feel beautiful. Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (at) gmail.com
I feel beautiful on vacation–a little bit of sun, no worries, the good life!
I always felt the most beautiful when I lived alone. I had plenty of time to concentrate not just on outward appearance but spiritual growth, and reflecting on what I wanted to do in life.
Now I spend most of my time working, keeping house, cooking and other necessary but completely unstimulating things. I hope you get credit for boring and repetitive chores in the next life.

I feel beautiful as I work in my garden, especially in early spring, as I carefully nestle in my babies in the hope of a successful season.
I felt beautiful when I was at Virginia Beach, probably because everything else was so pretty!
Thanks for the chance!

Behind our old house was a pond. I love to go back there and just enjoy the solitude, and it always made me feel peaceful and beautiful.
Oddly enough, I think the place I feel the most beautiful is on the trail. I find backpacking to be very liberating, fun, carefree and almost everyone accepts you just the way you are. It is an environment that brings out inner beauty instead of outer looks.

I feel beautiful and warm on the inside when someone tells me they appreciate the work I do for human rights. As far as physical beauty is concerned, I feel the most beautiful right when I step outside the door for a date with my bf. Although we’ve been living together for years, we don’t look at each other’s outfits etc. until we’re outside the front door. Then we surprise and compliment each other with our looks!
I think the place I was at that I felt the most beautiful was the night I met my husband, we had been corresponding through a match site online, and we went to a restaurant that had a band and we danced and I felt really special that night and beautiful!

The place where I’ve been that makes me feel most beautiful was anyplace beside my grandmother, Anna Rose. Whenever I was in her presence I always felt beautiful and special (even in my chunky preteen years!). She was a thoughful and sincere with her encouragement and made me realize I was beautiful if I stayed true to myself and lived life to the fullest.
I feel beautiful when I leave the plastic surgeon’s office – just kidding – never have, never will. I really do feel beautiful when I am with friends, laughing, dancing, having fun.
when I’m on my husband’s arm, I feel beautiful

The place that makes me feel most beautiful is my hometown of Juneau, Alaska. Tongass National Forest is an amazing array of waterfalls and hiking trails, bears and ravens, deer and marmot! To be able to step from my porch directly into the forest makes me feel alive, free to be who I am… which makes me feel beautiful!

I have been to Venice and that is definitely the place that made me feel most beautiful!
My husband and I walk every day with our two dogs. There is something so relaxing and calming about that special time we spend together that it makes me feel most whole and beautiful. We chat about things going on and just enjoy the beauty of each and every day.

I feel most beautiful on Sundays. My boyfriend and I always spend Sundays relaxing, in pajamas, messy hair and narry a sight of makeup to be had. Like you, I feel more beautiful surrounded by those that I don’t have to “try” to be beautiful for!
