Vivienne Westwood “Tan shades with a metallic edge have a preciousness and sophistication,” confirms Lyne Desnoyers. “Their inherent light-reflective nature ensures they never draw lines on the face in the same way as flat colour, making them appear immediately chic and flattering.”

A VIVA GLAM TALE... A Couple, who were at the heart of their community in the Caribbean, were diagnosed with aids. They were a pro-active couple and full of life. For 2 weeks they had been living off groceries help funded by the M.A.F. Today they were excited as their Community Vegetable Seed Starter Pack had arrived and together with the village they were going to plant the seeds. It was a joyous occasion and so lovely to see the whole community taking part. There were orphaned children there, 2 of which were proudly showing off their new school shoes, which were again funded by the M.A.F. One child was even celebrating their birthday and the M.A.F had helped provide a party pack for them. The couple used this opportunity to share with the community their experiences and educate people on HIV and aids which helped the rest of the community understand a little better. This is something we could all spend a little of our time doing. :0) HOW MANY VIVA GLAMS WERE SOLD TO MAKE THIS TALE POSSIBLE?
THAT IS YOUR TARGET FOR TODAY!
