			SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

					

				By signing this Subscription Agreement, without waiving any of your rights under applicable federal or state laws, you agree as follows:

				

				1.          You have received and read the Beleza Luxury Goods, Inc. Confidential Private Placement Offering Memorandum dated December, 2006 ("Offering Memorandum") prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement. You have relied solely upon such documents and upon independent investigations made by you or by your representatives in making your decision to purchase Units and no oral or written representations apart from those contained in the foregoing documents have been made to or relied upon by you;

				

				2.          You are aware that no federal or state agency has approved or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the investment or any recommendation or endorsement of the Units;

				

				3.          You understand that an investment in Units involves certain risk factors and conflicts of interest, many of which are referred to in the Offering Memorandum;

				

				4.          You have the requisite knowledge and experience to assess the relative business and tax matters and risks, or have relied upon the advice of experienced advisors with regard to tax aspects, risks and other considerations involved in this investment;

				

				5.          You and your counsel and/or advisor(s) (collectively, "representatives") have made or have had the opportunity to make such inspections as you have deemed necessary, whether to investigate any information given by the Offering Memorandum, to further your evaluation of the investment, or otherwise;

				

				6.          You and your representatives have had the opportunity to discuss all material aspects of this transaction with Management or with its authorized agents, and any questions asked have been answered to the full satisfaction of you and your representatives;

				

				7.          You are investing in the Units with a reasonable expectation of an economic profit from such investment apart from tax benefits. You understand the sale of the Units has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by reason of specified exemptions there from which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of your investment intent as expressed herein;

				

				8.          Your overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to your net worth and your investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive;

				

				9.          You have adequate net worth and means of providing for your current needs and contingencies to sustain a complete loss of your investment in the Company at the time of investment, and have no need for liquidity in your investment in the Units. You currently can afford a complete loss of your investment;

				

				10.        You are aware that there is no public market for the Units, that it is unlikely that any such market will develop, and that it may not be possible to liquidate your investment readily. You agree not to transfer or assign this Subscription Agreement, or any of your interest herein, and further agree that the transfer or assignment of the Units acquired pursuant hereto shall be made only in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum and all applicable laws;

				

				11.        You have attained the age of majority (as established in the state in which you reside), if an individual, and are under no legal disability with respect to entering into a contractual relationship with the Company and executing this Subscription Agreement;

The Company shall have until the Closing Date of the Offering or any extension to accept or reject your offer, in its sole discretion;

			

			13.        By your signature hereto and by checking the applicable box below, you hereby specifically represent and warrant that you are the sole party in interest with respect to the purchase of Units hereunder, that you satisfy the net worth and/or income requirements set forth opposite the box checked by you, and that you are eligible to purchase such Units under the suitability standards of your state of residence and, if different, of the state in which the Units are to be purchased. In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, the fiduciary represents that such conditions are met by the fiduciary, by the fiduciary account, or by the contributor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds for the purchase of Units. You are aware that the selling agent and/or the authorized dealer will rely upon your foregoing representations;

			

			14.       You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which they may incur by reason of your failure to fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Subscription Agreement, or by reason of any breach of the representations and warranties made by you herein or in connection with the purchase of the Units, or in any document provided by you to the Company.

			

			15.       All information which you have provided to the Company concerning your financial position and knowledge of financial business matters and set forth on the completed Purchaser Suitability Questionnaire submitted herewith is correct and complete as of the date set forth at the end hereof, and if there should be any material change in such information prior to acceptance of this Subscription Agreement by the Company, you will immediately provide the Company with such information; and

			

			16.       You agree that within five days after receipt of a written request from the Company, you will provide such information and execute and deliver such documents as reasonably may be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject.

WHEREAS, by approval of the Board on December 4, 2007, being recognized that (i) the Company is still in its development stage, (ii) without the Chairman's vision and dedication, the Company would neither have been established nor succeeded in achieving what has been achieved to date in terms of management, operations and development of and access to its shareholder base, and (iii) during the Company's development stage, the continued availability of the Chairman's vision and guidance in those matters for which the Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are responsible is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, that following January 1, 2008,  in accordance with the Resolutions of the Board taken on June 20, 2007, the Chairman continue to serve as a member and Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance and the Compensation Committees pursuant to the exceptional and limited circumstances exceptions as provided in Sections 804(b) and 805(b), respectively, of the Rules of the American Stock Exchange; and
