    Dear Brenda, please forgive me for using your post to answer Sunshinelady. She has removed her posts so I could not post my reply to her on her post. I am hoping that she will see my answer here.

    Sunshinelady, I can walk you through the posting of a picture and I have a BEST FRIEND living with me that would be more than glad to help your work. Come on SunSHINElady, nothing would make me happier than to help you enter your best work.

    Hugs to you

    WHAT BEAUTY ITEM I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT

    The one beauty item that I could not live without would be my lipstick. Mind you, it does not matter what color it is, I have dozens of colors in my make-up bag. They are all there waiting to be opened and applied, depending on my mood. I wear red when I am feeling fierce and daring. It makes me feel confident and on top of the world. I wear purple when I want to make my lips pop and add drama to an outfit. I feel strong knowing I can pull it off and wear it with confidence. When I am feeling quiet and pensive, I wear pink, it makes me feel feminine and girly. No matter what the color, when I open the case, turn the tube and see the wax like substance come into view, I am drawn in by the beauty of the tint, the scent of the lipstick. I put it on and I am transformed, I go from a plain Jane to a vibrant and beautiful woman. I am on top of the world, I am strong, I am invincible.

    Hi Shopgirl,

    This is a GREAT comment! Can you put it in a blog post so it can qualify as an entry for the Beauty Panel? I promise...It's very easy. Click on the "My Blog" link under your user name and then click on "Write a new post". Remember to tag it with the words "Shine Beauty Panel" so we can find it :). Good luck!

    Shine Beauty Panel

    The one beauty product I couldn’t live without is Athena 7 minute face-lift cream. It is the best product I’ve ever used to completely refresh and “youthify” my skin before I go out. I am 46 years old and am always mistaken for someone in my thirties and even twenties sometimes, so I know a thing or two about rolling back the years. It would shock me to find out about any skin care brand that I haven’t tried. I love trying new products! All I have to do is wet the brush that comes with the cream, dip the brush in the cream and paint it in upward strokes lightly all over my face. Then I rinse my brush, and remain expressionless for seven minutes. I can immediately feel a cool tightening on my face. When I look in the mirror seven minutes later, I can’t believe how much better I look. All the day’s stress, wrinkles and dullness are just washed away, back to the face I looked upon at least ten years earlier. Try this product once and you’ll be hooked.
