Go With Your Own Glow

From a Skin Cancer Foundation Ad...
"A raisin is a grape that didn't have the sense to get out of the sun.

And think about it, if the giant orb in the sky can do that to a little piece of fruit, imagine what it's doing to your precious skin. Layers one to seven do not like being basted, toasted, roasted, fried and all other manner of scorched. And how does your skin show it? Hello wrinkles. Hello crow's feet. Hello blotches and burns and who-knows-what-all-else. Not to be prejudice, but on the pecking order of brains, we humbly submit that human beings should have more sense than dumb grapes. Don't you agree? Nothing looks better on you than healthy, glowing, radiant shine you were born with. Because today, being healthy- truly healthy- is what's sexy.

IMAN Cream to Powder Foundation...Second to None


Iman's Second to None Cream to Powder foundation is simply marvelous!



This product was recommended to me by a fellow artist. I purchased the product and used it for a wedding this past winter. I was amazed. The skin looked flawless and did not look caked up.
This foundation provides a smooth and flawless matte look that lasts. Its soft creamy consistency makes blending effortless. Many times, women of color struggle with finding a foundation that doesnt leave an ashy or chalky finish. This foundation is the solution. Not only does it look great, but it's AFFORDABLE! You can find IMAN products at target, walgreens or online at www.imanbeauty.com
