Kylie's post about True Beauty was something great to read. I loved to read through it, and see what everyone's different opinion of true beauty really is.
I have some Bible verses to go along with what Kylie said, so that you can get more insite on what we're actually talking about!
Let your beauty not be external – the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes – but the inner person of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
1Peter 3:3-4
1Peter 3:3-4
I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
1 Timothy 2:9-10
But the wicked will perish: The Lord's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish—vanish like smoke.
Psalm 27:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:30
I hope you are encouraged by these verses, and think about where your beauty comes from.

Ashley,
I really liked the verses you picked. At first I wasn't sure why you put in Psalm 27:30, but it got me thinking. The beauty we have on this earth is eventually going to fade. It's fleeting and definitely won't last forever. That's why it's important to embrace our eternal beauty - our beauty in Christ.
Here's another verse I really like that pertains to the concept of fading beauty.
All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever. (1 Peter 1:24)
To sum it up, here is my one thought: Beauty may fail us, but God never fails!
