THE NIGHT OFF AND NEVER COOK AGAIN. >> WELCOME TO OUR BUSINESS THAT STARTED BACK IN 1931 IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION A LADY STARTED IN HER KITCHEN AND CAME UP WITH A BASE TO KEEP OUR POWDER ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SHE WAS ALSO A NURSE, AND SHE WORKED IN THE BABY WARD WITH PATIENTS WITH DIAPER RASH, AND SHE WANTED TO INVENT SOMETHING TO HELP THE BABIES AND TO HELP WOMEN LOOK AND FEEL BEAUTIFUL. SHE CAME UP WITH POWDER BASED CLEANSING CREAM THAT WE SELL TODAY. >> I GOT INTO THIS AS A CUSTOMER. I SHOPPED HERE WHEN I WAS IN MY LATE 20s. I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO WEAR MAKEUP AND LEARN HOW TO PUT MAKEUP ON APPROPRIATELY. I KNOW THAT THEY ARE GREAT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES. ONCE I BOUGHT THE BUSINESS, I CARRIED HOME A FACE LOTION FOR MY HUSBAND TO START USING, AND HE WAS SHOCKED AND HE WISHED I HAD BOUGHT IT FOR HIM A LONG TIME AGO. >> PEOPLE ARE VERY SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT WE OFFER SO MUCH HERE.
