                           CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

                                                                  March 21, 2003

   FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Nurescell Inc. ("Maker") hereby promises to pay in lawful
money of the United States, in immediately available funds, to Triton Private
Equities Fund, L.P. ("Payee"), or order, at 225 North Market Street, Suite 333,
Wichita, Kansas, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the
holder of this Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note"), the aggregate principal
amount shown on the attached Exhibit "A" (which shall be deemed automatically
amended to add the "Principal Amount" and "Loan Date" of each additional amount
that is loaned to Maker by Payee after the date of this Note), together with
interest thereon calculated and payable as set forth below. This Note is not a
"purchase money" obligation.

   The aggregate principal amount of this Note shall bear interest at the rate
of ten percent (10%) per annum, with interest accruing on each amount on the
attached Exhibit "A" commencing on the "Loan Date" specified for such amount on
such Exhibit. The aggregate principal amount hereof, plus all accrued interest,
shall be paid thirty (30) days after written demand by Payee. Maker may prepay
the aggregate principal amount of this Note at any time, without premium or
penalty (such prepayment to include all accrued interest pursuant to this Note).
All payments under this Note shall be credited first to interest, then to
principal.

   Payee shall be entitled, at its option and at any time, to convert all or any
portion of the aggregate principal amount of this Note, and accrued interest
thereon, into Maker's common stock on the same terms as Payee is at that time
able to convert the principal amount of the Series 2000-A Eight Percent (8%)
Convertible Promissory Note due December 1, 2001 from Maker to Payee (the "2000
Note"). The foregoing right shall survive the full repayment of the 2000 Note,
with conversion hereunder after such full repayment to be determined as if the
2000 Note was still in existence.

   The following events shall constitute a "Default" hereunder: (i) if Maker
fails to pay when due any payment hereunder; (ii) if proceedings under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law are commenced by or against Maker, or if a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors of Maker is made, or if a trustee or
receiver of Maker's property is appointed; or (iii) if a default occurs under
any provision of this Note not covered by clause (i) above, or any other
agreement executed by Maker in connection with this Note, and such default is
not cured by Maker within seven (7) days after notice to Maker.

   To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Maker agrees to reimburse the
holder of this Note upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including attorneys' fees and related expenses) incurred by the holder of this
Note in connection with or in any way related to the enforcement of the
obligations of Maker hereunder.

<PAGE>

   Maker hereby waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of
protest and nonpayment, and all other demands or notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note. Maker
agrees that Maker's liability on this Note shall not be affected by any renewal
or extension of any time of payment hereof, by any indulgences, or by any
release or change in any security for the payment of this Note, and hereby
consents to any and all renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases or changes.

   Any portion of this Note which may be held by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable shall be deemed severable and the balance of
this Note shall be fully enforceable.

   The holder hereof shall be entitled, upon the occurrence of a Default, to
accelerate payment of the unpaid balance of this Note, in which event the entire
unpaid principal balance hereof and all other amounts due hereunder shall
immediately be due and payable without demand or notice.

   In the event that any payment shall not be made on this Note when due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, Maker agrees to pay interest on such
overdue payment from the due date until the date such payment is received by the
holder of this Note at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

   This Note is executed in and shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.

   No delay or omission of Payee or any holder hereof in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any such right or remedy. A waiver
on one occasion shall not operate as a bar to, or waiver of, any such right or
remedy on any future occasions.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has caused this Note to be duly authorized,
executed and delivered as of the date first set forth above.

EXHIBIT 10.13

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of April 1, 2003
(the "Effective Date") by and between Nurescell Inc. (the "Company"), Triton
Private Equities Fund, L.P. (the "Investor") and Larry Shatsoff, dba Business
Analysis Group, LLC (the "Consultant").

                                    RECITALS

1 The Company and the Investor desire to obtain certain services of Consultant
for the Company, and Consultant desires to provide such services, in each case
on the following terms and conditions.

Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

1. CONSULTING PERIOD.

         (a) INITIAL TERM. The Company hereby retains Consultant to provide, and
         Consultant hereby agrees to render to the Company, those services
         described in Section 2 for the period (the "Consulting Period")
         commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) one
         (1) year thereafter (the "Term Date") as, and to the extent, extended
         under Section 1(b) and (ii) the date the Consulting Period is
         terminated in accordance with Section 4. The Company shall pay
         Consultant the compensation to which he is entitled under Section 3(a)
         through the end of the Consulting Period and, thereafter, the Company's
         obligations hereunder shall end.

         (b) EXTENSION. Subject to Section 4, the Consulting Period may be
         extended at the option of the Company for additional six (6) month
         periods by providing written notice to Consultant thirty (30) days
         prior to the Term Date or the end of any extension period. Termination
         of the Consulting Period under this Section 1(b), instead of extending
         the Agreement, may be with or without cause.

2. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

         (a) Consultant hereby agrees to provide and perform for the Company
         those services set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and such other
         services as may be reasonably requested by the Company. Consultant
         shall devote his best efforts to the performance of such services.

         (b) Consultant shall use his best efforts to comply with all policies
         and practices of the Company of which Consultant is given notice.

         (c) As an independent contractor, Contractor shall not look to the
         Company as Con-tractor's employer, nor as a partner or principal. Thus,
         Contractor understands that he is not eligible for Company benefits and
         voluntarily accepts this arrangement. Nothing in this Agreement shall
         be construed to be inconsistent with this relationship. Contractor may
         apply his time according to his own judgement and discretion, but shall
         devote sufficient time and attention to enable him to perform his
         obligations herein.

<PAGE>

3. COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND EXPENSES.

         (d) COMPENSATION. In full payment for all of the services to be
         rendered hereunder, Consultant shall be paid Three Thousand Dollars
         ($3,000.00) per calendar month, payable on the 1st business day of each
         month (pro rated for partial months). Consultant shall also be entitled
         to receive shares of Company common stock in an amount to be determined
         by mutual agreement between the Company, Consultant and the Investor.
         If it appears that the logged hours spent by Consultant related to
         fulfilling his contractual duties seems insufficient to support the
         monthly fee, both parties may negotiate a lower monthly fee.

         (e) NO OTHER BENEFITS. Other than the compensation specified in this
         Section 3, Consultant shall not be entitled to any direct or indirect
         compensation or other benefits for services performed hereunder.

         (f) EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse Consultant for reasonable
         travel and other business expenses incurred in the performance of his
         duties in accordance with the Company's general policies, as they may
         be amended from time to time during the course of this Agreement.
         Consultant shall provide all receipts and backup material for expenses
         submitted, as requested by the Company. Consultant shall notify the
         Investor prior to incurring any expenditures related to overnight
         travel or the purchase of any equipment for the Company.

         (g) DAILY LOG. Consultant shall keep a daily log which accurately
         reflects hours spent on Company related duties.

4. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.

         (a) At any time and without liability, either the Company, the Investor
         or Consultant may terminate this Agreement and the Consulting Period
         for any reason, with or without cause, by giving thirty (30) days
         advance written notice to the other parties. If Consultant gives notice
         of termination pursuant to this Section 4(a), the Company and the
         Investor shall have the option, in their complete discretion, to
         thereafter terminate Consultant immediately without the need for any
         notice period. Upon termination, the Company shall pay Consultant the
         compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 3(a) through
         the end of the Consulting Period, and thereafter all obligations of the
         Company and the Investor shall terminate.

         (b) Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that all (i) property,
         including, without limitation, all books, records, reports, notes,
         contracts, lists and other documents or materials, or copies thereof,
         (ii) Proprietary Information (as defined below) and (iii) equipment, in
         each case of either the Company or the Investor, that is furnished to
         or prepared by Consultant in the course of or incident to his services
         to the Company, shall remain the property of the Company or the
         Investor, as the case may be, and shall be promptly returned to the
         owner thereof upon termination of the Consulting Period. Following
         termination, Consultant will not retain any written or other tangible
         material containing any Proprietary Information. Consultant's
         obligations under this Section shall survive termination of the
         Consulting Period and this Agreement.

5. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.

         (h) DEFINED. "Proprietary Information" is all information and any idea
         in whatever form, tangible or intangible, pertaining in any manner to
         the business of the Company unless: (i) the information is or becomes
         publicly known through lawful means, (ii) the information was
         rightfully in Consultant's possession or part of his general knowledge
         prior to the Consulting Period or (iii) the information is disclosed to
         Consultant without confidential or proprietary restrictions by a third
         party who rightfully possesses the information (without confidential or
         proprietary restriction) and did not learn of it, directly or
         indirectly, from the Company.

         (i) GENERAL RESTRICTION ON USE. Consultant agrees to hold all
         Proprietary Information in strict confidence and trust for the sole
         benefit of the Company and not to, directly or indirectly, disclose,
         use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from the Company's premises
         any Proprietary Information (or remove from the premises any other
         property of the Company), except (i) during the Consulting Period to
         the extent necessary to carry out Consultant's responsibilities under
         this Agreement and (ii) after termination of the Consulting Period as
         specifically authorized in writing by the Company.

         (j) INTERFERENCE WITH BUSINESS; COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES. Consultant
         agrees that for a period of one (1) year after termination of the
         Consulting Period, he shall not, for himself or any third party,
         directly or indirectly (i) divert or attempt to divert from the Company
         any business of any kind in which it is engaged, including, without
         limitation, the solicitation of or interference with any of its
         customers or (ii) employ, solicit for employment, or recommend for
         employment any person employed by the Company during the Consulting
         Period.

6. ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Consultant agrees that he will not
assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, or by operation of law, any rights or obligations under this
Agreement, nor shall Consultant's rights be subject to encumbrance or the claims
of creditors. Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation shall be null
and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, and shall not benefit any
person or entity other than those enumerated above.

the Company. Consultant shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes due on
