An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Best mineral sunscreen
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Applies easily, smells great and hardly leaves a whitecast! One of my favorite mineral sunscreens that I’ve tried.

White film left
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I know that mineral sunscreen is the best. But this one will leave a white film on you. I have used other sunscreens that work without the white film.

You get Zink, but no “tropical” scent
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great product. I wanted a Zink based sunscreen for my face, but I was hoping it would still have the Sun Bum traditional “tropical” scent. Sadly nope. I’m mixing it with the traditional Sun Bum 30 so I can get my tropical feel while keeping my face safe from sun damage. Hopefully I don’t turn green :)

Worked great
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My skin is very sensitive to the sun. My skin does not tan I sun burn quickly! I love this sunblock because according to the ingredients it's reef & sea animal friendly. I found this product didn't leave a very noticeable white cast on my skin. I was able to blend it with very little noticeable white cast. I didn't find it sticky or really rubbing off on my clothes or bathing suite. In respect to all the things I mention it was all at a very minimal notice. For me it didn't have a smell of any kind. I used this product on vacation in Mexico. I tried & stayed out of the sun as much as I could. I went on a Mayan ruin tour following a snorkeling excursion & did not get a sunburn! Usually for that long period of time in the sun I would have received a light sunburn using other sunblocks but instead I actually got a light tan! I did apply this product on my body & face. I have to say this is my 1st time using this brand & it worked super well for me. :) *Just FYI when I applied this product I didn't need to apply to much if you do its going to obviously leave a white cast. I only applied as needed through out the day. Also make sure you give it time to sit to soak into your skin before putting on your clothes. After all you do have to wait a few min after applying before going out in the sun. That's any sunblock directions.

Finally! A sunscreen that works and does not burn my eyes.
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am unable to use chemical or hybrid sunscreens on my face because they "melt" and destroy my eyes. Living in the south means daily sunscreen year-around is a must - having found this product is a godsend. Unscented, no chemicals to discolor my clothes, no titanium dioxide so no purple-white ghostly cast, easily rubs in. Simply perfect!!!
