SOME ITEMS I PURCHASED FROM SEPHORA & ZOYA

Sephora had a sale a few weeks ago and is what I purchased. I've never tried Makeup For Ever and I was curious so I bought the small size of the primer for $15.00. I've worn it a few times and it really does last longer than the Smashbox and Korres primer I've tried.



I also bought the MUF eyeliners.





They are kind of small



Theses nail polishes are from the Zoya sale. I will post pics after I do my nails.

DOUBT: MAYBE GOD DIDN'T HEAR ME?

I WANTED TO SHARE WHAT FAITH COMMUNITY SENT ME :)
BLTV Partner



Testing 1, 2, 3...is this thing on?!?

Have you ever prayed-I mean really prayed-in faith, resting on God's Word and faithfulness, only to see nothing happen? Such times are, to say the least, trying. Before long, a number of “so-called” explanations enter our mind:



Doubt: Maybe God hasn't heard me.

Fear: Maybe He heard me, but He isn't going to respond.

Uncertainty: Perhaps it isn't His will.

Condemnation: I probably don't deserve an answer.

Haste: I guess God wants me to do it myself.

Such thoughts rob us of God's purpose in our lives. Paul said, We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Instead of believing the lies, why not stand in faith, knowing that God is at work in your life? None that wait upon the Lord are put to shame, instead they mount up with wings as eagles, they run and do not get weary, and walk and do not faint (Psalm 25:3; Isaiah 40:31).



It just might be that we don't know our request has both physical and spiritual ramifications that affect other beings, places, times, or things, so that God must arrange an answer that will not violate the freedom and structure of His creation. Whatever the reason might be, rest assured that God is neither ignoring us, nor withholding any good thing from us. He is, in fact, more anxious to give than we are to receive (Matthew 7:-11; Ephesians 3:20; James 4:2).



Waiting periods can be times of growth and increase. Indeed, I believe there are times when such periods are essential to our growth. It takes time to grow, and sometimes this growth is a prerequisite for the fulfillment of our desires.



While we wait, let us remember that God is not teasing us, and He does not think it's “cute” that we must wait. Rather, God would have us confidently know that He is busily at work in our lives, both to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 3:13).



Marguerite and I are praying for you. If you are standing in faith for something that has not yet been answered, don't give up. You are not alone! We are believing with you, trusting that God will bless you emotionally, physically, spiritually, as well as financially. Along with the financial gifts you have been “sowing,” you have also been sowing “seeds” of hope and encouragement into people's lives through the Balanced Living Television show. We pray that your life will be one that is full of hope and encouragement. As you have touched so many others, our prayer is that you will experience God's love, joy, and peace in your own life.



Press On!



Dr. Jim & Marguerite Reeve

Smoke Out Eye Pencil


Applying smoky eyes is a daunting task – even for the best of us. It’s not something you do every day, so we can’t expect you to be an expert, right? Wrong! Apply smoky eyes with the greatest of ease, thanks to the Smoke Out Eye Pencil.



Smoke Out is an amazing slimline (that means skinny) pencil filled with a long-lasting, powdery matte formula – like eye shadow in a pencil. It imparts a rich color that softens to a feathery edge, so it’s impossible to make a mistake. Use the attached blender tip to perfectly smudge the color, and POW. Your smoky eyes look great and stay put all night long. Use a lot or a little: from subtly singed to full-tilt sexy, Smoke Out is totally en fuego.



Smoky eyes don’t have to be black!

Try one of the other shades for a more subtle, but equally sexy look.

You can try it on moist skin for more intense color, too!

Fill Weight: 1.16g e 0.041 US oz.



Ingredients

Price: $5.00




Ultraglide Lip Gloss


Enhance your intimate experiences. The love child of lip gloss and lipstick, Ultraglide provides the ultra-slick texture of a deluxe gloss with the semi-opaque color of a lipstick. The result: deep, rich color and beautiful coverage without the tackiness of other glosses. Featuring antioxidant Vitamin E and skin conditioners, the unique (and provocative) lightweight texture offers a smooth glide that takes lethal lips to an entirely new level. And to further heighten your pleasure, each shade is laced with a unique flavor. Mmmm.



Packaged in a long, sleek squeeze tube with a slanted, soft-tech applicator tip, Ultraglide looks sexy and feels great too.



Fill Weight: 8.6ml e 0.29 US fl oz



Ingredients

Price: $5.00

Loose Pigment


These powdery-fine, silky soft shadows deliver more intense color than pressed or cream eye shadows. Try a little for a sheer wash of color, or layer for bold, shimmering hues. With everything from bold brights to pretty neutrals, there’s something for everyone!



The Loose Pigment formula is actually mineral makeup, made from pearlized powders derived from minerals. No dyes or synthetic pigments are used.



The coolest advantage over other brands’ loose pigments? No messy pots! The spill-proof tube uses a special internal funnel to keep pigment inside until you’re ready to use it. The cap features an ergonomic flared handle and a built-in premium brush. Dip the brush into the color to apply, or tap out a little color and use your own brushes.



Fill Weight: 1.2g / 0.04 US oz
