Breakthrough In Beauty Contest

There are so many BGs who aspire to become beauty entrepreneurs. In fact, I used to be one of them! A few years ago I along with a business partner started a beauty and skin-care line. I later decided that it really wasn’t my passion so I left the business and focused on my true love – writing! Perhaps you or someone you know is looking to get a beauty company off the ground and are seeking business funding and distribution. If so, you need to visit Breakthrough in Beauty TODAY!!

This year they’re looking for makeup lines, specifically foundations, or even mineral makeup. Who knows? You just might become the next Bobbi Brown (Girl)! Please hurry because the deadline is Sept. 1st, so go to www.breakthroughinbeauty.com to fill out the application.
