What would Jesus do if he wore foundation, asked one Singapore cosmetics developer. Answer? The "Looking Good for Jesus" cosmetics line, duh.

A leading retailer in Singapore has withdrawn a cosmetics range with a Jesus theme after complaints from local Roman Catholics, local media report.

The range, named Looking Good for Jesus, was on sale at three Top Shop outlets in the Asian city state.

Catholics complained the cosmetics' marketing was disrespectful, full of sexual innuendo and trivialised Christianity.

The products included a "Virtuous vanilla" lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, featuring a picture of Christ flanked by two adoring women.

Most women would prefer to wear<a href=“http://www.afterglowcosmetics.com/”> organic cosmetics </a> so that they can look as though they are not wearing make up while still covering their blemishes and problem areas of the face. By using<a href=“http://www.afterglowcosmetics.com/organic_mineral_foundation/

”> mineral foundation </a> instead of chemical foundation you can remain beautiful while protecting your skin from the harsh world. Don't apply anymore chemicals to your face, stay beautiful the safe way!

With all of the different types of make up being sold all over the world it is hard to know which one is safe enough to apply to your face. I have always used mineral make up and will continue to use them. Organic cosmetics are safe to use on any skin type as well as sensitive skin types. Do not poison your face one more time with chemicals and animal tested products.
