Anyway, Wedgie always has these sample products that she tosses about like salt on a winter road. I was wondering if it is wrong to simply stock up on those instead of paying for the expensive bottles of perfume and lipsticks; some of those lipsticks cost enough to feed a family of four. I am all about being thrifty but I don't want to sin against the LORD OF HOSTS in any way at all. Wedgie does deserve to make a living outside of her part-time job as a life coach to the rich and famous (one of her clients is Olympia Dukakis).
When my mother was young, she loved the fragrance "Roses, Roses," but she said it made her smell like a funeral home. Her sister liked "Sweet Honesty," but it didn't agree with her and sort of came off like a scallop or some other sort of seafood. Incandessence and Celebre are nice, but I'm at a loss whether they are age appropriate. Wedgie has tons of samples of both and they are easily squeezed into a bottle if you have enough patience.

Wearing a little make up for a young lady in wedlock so her husband does not look as if he married a pig is fine, I would suggest.
Any other reason would mean the 'woman' is a whorish fornicating slut who puts her words and deeds of sexual misconduct and filthy ways before Jesus.
Ephesians 5:3-6 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
