Get The Look: Dita Von Teese

THE classic 1950’s pin up look

has been making a comeback

thanks to stars like world famous

Burlesque dancer Dita Von

Teese:

Dita’s super pale skin is flawless;

start by applying your foundation

to get an even look. We suggest

Illamasqua Skin Base Founda-

tion, £23.00 (1), which has a

huge shade range to suit any skin

tone.

Next apply a setting powder all

over the face; Rimmel Stay Matte

Powder, £3.99 (2), is perfect for

achieving matte 1950’s skin.

Dita usually goes for a very sim-

ple eye look, a pale shadow all

over the lid with a matte brown in

her crease.

No pin up look would be complete

without a cat eye, so try using

MAC Fluidline in Black Track,

£14.00 (3) with an angled brush

to get that perfect flick!

Lashings of black mascara and a

pair of fluttery falsies add to the

look.

Fill in the brows with a pencil like

Rimmel’s EyeBrow Pencil, 2.99

(4)

Keeping things matte, apply a

pink blusher like Illamasqua

Naked Rose, £18.00 (5), on to

the apples of your cheeks.

Finally, line the lips with a red lip

liner and apply a matte red lip-

stick like Dita’s favourite, MAC

Russian Red, £14.00 (6). And

there you have it, a classic 1950’s

pin up look that will suit everyone!

Fight The Fuzz

HERE at Scottish Hair & Beauty, we believe that if you

want to go au natural, then good for you! But we like

our legs smooth, and here are some of our top products

for the job: 

Gilette Razors: £3.99 for 6 - An oldie but a goodie,

these razors combined with a good shaving cream will

do the trick. An absolute baragain, these don’t come

with any fancy blades or moisture strips but they’re bril-

liant to keep as a back up.

Veet In Shower Hair Removal Cream: £11.00 - Really

easy to use; just pop the cream on and jump in the

shower. 5-10 minutes later and you’re fuzz free! Fantas-

tic. It can be a little smelly but on the whole the easi-

ness of using it trumps the whiff.

Veet Touchably Smooth Rechargable Epilator:

£39.99 - Although slightly painful, the benefits of using

an epilator are plenty. Not only are you left with super

smooth legs, the effects last a good few days. Perfect

for going on holiday or to a festival.

Veet Wax Strips: £5.99 - Waxing, like epilation, can be

painful but achieves the best results. Veet wax strips

don’t require any messy wax or fabric. Simply warm up

the strips, place them on, wait, pull them off and you’re

good to go!

Laser hair removal - Laser hair removal cna be expen-

sive option but its effects are permenant. And in the

long term in can work out cheaper than buying razors

for the rest of your life. Over several sessions the laser

zaps your hair follicle until it falls away, and there we

have it, no more unsightly hair!

Edinburgh are currently offering a 30% discount on hair

removal sessions.

How to find:

Your perfect foundation

Every woman strives to find the perfect foundation.

The base that will make them look flawless, keep their

skin shine free or give them a dewy glow. So many

cosmetics companies make promises they can’t keep,

and cosmetics lovers keep being dissapointed with

yet another foundation that doesn’t live up to its hype.

You go shopping and return home feeling great about

your new purchase. The next day you try it on - and

you’re suddenly orange. Or it lasts about 5 minutes

before sliding off your face. The list goes on. Buying

foundation can be tricky, but there are a few things

you should know first -

Get colour matched: Getting the right colour of foun-

dation iis the most important part. Your face definitely

shouldn’t be a different colour from the rest of you! If

you go to a counter that has an assistant, get them to

colour match you. If you go to a stand that doesn’t

have an assistant, try testing the foundation on your

jawline and not your hand, as it gives a more accurate

match. Illamasqua Skin Base foundation (£23.00)

comes in a wide range of shades.

Coverage: What coverage do you want? Light,

medium or heavy, the choice is yours. A light/medium

coverage foundation will perfect your skin but won’t

cover scars, spots or dark marks. A full coverage

foundation should cover anything you might want to

hide. A great full coverage foundation is Revlon Color

Stay (£12.99), which comes in two versions for dry or

oily skin.

Skin type: Your skin type is hugely important when

choosing a foundation. Dryer skins suit foundations

with a dewy finish - try something like MAC Mineralize

Moisture (£21.50). Oilier skins need a foundation that

will last - something like Estee Lauder Double Wear

(£31.00) will last for hours even on oily skin. Dull skin

will suit something like Rimmel Wake Me Up (£7.99).

Occasion: If you’re buying foundation for an occason

like a wedding, bear in mind you’re going to be pho-

tographed. Avoid foundations with a high SPF as they

tend to make you look white when flash photography

is used. Look out for titanium dioxide in the ingredi-

ents even if the bottle doesn’t have an SPF on it.

MAC Face & Body foundation (£25.00) is great for

events where flash photography will be used.

Hopefully these tips and tricks will help you on your

way to choosing the perfect foundation! 

I need an apBeauty Editor Fiona had the chance to attend the INAA Scottish On Monday, April 29, INAA.com (which stands for

I need an appointment!) held their ‘bloggers do it

best’ event at 29 Private Members Club in Glas-

gow. Beauty bloggers from across Scotland were

invited to learn about the nominations for the

INAA 2013 Scottish Hair and Beauty awards.

Bloggers were invited to enjoy a cocktail courtesy

of Belvedere vodka and sat down for some nib-

bles and to hear about the awards from INAA

managing director Joanne Reid. Reality star Lau-

ren Goodger, from ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex,

was also there to talk about her new tanning line

Lauren’s Way.

Lauren said “I love coming up to Scotland. It’s a

big market for my brand, as Scottish girls love

their tanning products. I really hope everyone gets

the chance to see what Lauren’s Way is all

about!”

INAA.com is the UK’s first online hair and beauty

booking portal launched in 2010. They stress the

importance of the relationship between salons

and their clients and provide a way of booking ap-

pointments with your favourite salons online, and

even help finding new ones! The Scottish Hair

and Beauty Awards was the brainchild of INAA

and has become a major event in the Scottish

beauty community since it’s launch in 2011.

Managing Director of INAA Joanne Reid said “I

really hope tonight gives Scottish bloggers a real

feel for what we do at INAA and what the Scottish

Hair and Beauty Awards are all about. Blogging is

a huge part of the beauty community and these

days bloggers really are the best way to get infor-

mation out there. We’re hoping that blogs about

the event tonight and the upcoming awards cere-

mony will bring INAA to the attention of even more

beauty lovers. We’ve put on an amazing event

here tonight and we really hope everyone has a

great time! Its a brilliant chance for the bloggers to

network with each other and have fun!”

pointment! Hair And Beauty Awards ‘Bloggers Do It Best’ event in Glasgow:

The ‘bloggers do it best’ evening gave bloggers

the chance to get a heads up on the salons mak-

ing the final nominations for the awards. They

were invited through to another room where they

had a chance to sample products from sponsors

such as GHD, Bumble & Bumble, BareMinerals

and of course Lauren’s Way. There were demon-

strations including a tanning booth, hair tutorials

and make up applications. There was also a raf-

fle, with one lucky blogger winning a set of GHD

hair stylers.

The event provided bloggers with the oppurtunity

to relax and get to know each other whilst promot-

ing INAA and the Scottish Hair and Beauty

Awards in the beautiful surroundings of 29 Private

Members Club.

Beauty blogger Victoria McEwan (Razzle Dazzle

And Rock N’ Roll) from Glasgow said “Tonight has

been amazing. The Scottish Hair and Beauty

Awards is a fantastic event and I’m glad to have

learnt more about it tonight. I’ve had the chance

to sample some products and meet lots of other

bloggers, it’s been great fun!

“It’s a great chance to network and really get my

blog out there.”

Bloggers left the event with a goodie bag packed

with samples from the event sponsors and infor-

mation on The Scottish Hair and Beauty Awards

2013, which will take place at Glasgow’s presti-

gious Hilton Hotel on May 26th. Tickets are £100

and are available from www.inaascottishhairand-

beautyawards.com.

The Dread The Dread Dandruff. No one wants to talk about it, and yes

it’s embarrassing, but it’s estimated that over 10

million of us here in the UK suffer from it. So

maybe we should be talking about it!

Dandruff is the excessive shedding of dead skin

cells from the scalp, and unfortunately for some it

can be quite noticeable. Other problems like

scalp psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis can

also cause embarrassing flaky skin on the scalp.

Lucy, 23 from Glasgow said: “I suffer from quite

bad dandruff, and it can get really embarrassing

when I get flare ups. I try and wash my hair regu-

larly with medicated shampoos and luckily that

seems to work for me”.

Jenni, 21 also from Glasgow said “I’ve got quite a

severe scalp problem. It is really embarassing but

you just have to remember that it happens to a lot

of people and you just have to treat it the best

you can. I use a combination of different sham-

poos and scalp creams”.

Unfortunately, dandruff can never be completely

cured. Sufferers can struggle between periods of

calm where they have few problems, and then

have bad flare up’s. But you can never com-

pletely get rid of it, only treat it.

So what should you do if you have dandruff? Se-

vere cases of scalp problems should be seen by

a Doctor, but for any mild issues there are lots of

products on the market to help:

from left-right: Philip Kingsley Scalp Toner; Head & Sh

tioner; LUSH Superbalm Scalp Treatment; The Body

ed D-Word ed D-Word

1. Shampooing is generally the easiest way to get

rid of dandruff, as it removes excess oil and

pesky flakes.

2. If your anti-dandruff shampoo isn't helping, you

might have to switch products to find one with in-

gredients that work better for your problem:

Zinc pyrithione -- reduces fungus

Selenium sulfide -- limits cell turnover

Salicylic acid -- removes dead skin

Ketoconazole -- combats many different fungi

3. Your anti-dandruff shampoo can stop working if

you build up a resistance to the active ingredi-

ents. Rotating through three different shampoos

can keep the solution working.

4. Shampoo should be lathered up twice and left

on for at least five minutes to have enough time

to penetrate skin cells.

5. Tar has been a natural home remedy for dan-

druff for more than 200 years and tar shampoo is

the top selling anti dandruff product.

6. Lemon juice is a light, fruity way to remove the

smell and buildup of dandruff shampoos.

7. Though tar shampoo has alleviated dandruff

for hundreds of years, people with sensitive skin

could develop folliculitis, an inflammation of the

hair follicles. Sensitive noggins should go with a

milder shampoo.

8. If you break your scalp skin -- such as by

scratching too much from dandruff -- baby sham-

poo can help your wounds heal without hurting.

9. Working up a hard sweat can be good for the

body, but not if you have dandruff. Sweat can irri-

tate the scalp, speeding up flaking and increasing

dandruff.

10. When dandruff happens, less is more. Using

styling products, such as mousses, sprays and

gels, can add to the oily buildup.

Top 10 Anti-Dandruff Tips:

CrUelty free UK CosmetiCs are now CrUelty free!

After years of animal rights campaigning, Scottish

beauty lovers can finally shop guilt free. As of

March 11 2013, animal testing on all cosmetic

products sold within the EU has been banned.

That means any company releasing new products into

the market must make sure the finished product, or any

ingredients used, are not tested on animals anywhere

in the world. Brilliant news, your new lipstick won’t have

been tested on cute little bunny rabbits!

One of the few retailers that won’t be affected by the

ban is The Body Shop. Although they are owned by

L’oreal, a brand well known for testing on animals, The

Body Shop has remained committed to being cruelty

free. The brand has backed anti-animal testing cam-

paigns since 1996.

Cruelty Free International has been the leading force in

bringing an end to animal testing for cosmetics. They

have campaigned for decades to bring an end to animal

testing for cosmetic products.

Cruelty Free International Chief Executive, Michelle

Thew said: “ This is truly a historic event and the culmi-

nation of over 20 years of campaigning. Now we will

apply our determination and vision on a global stage to

ensure that the rest of the world follows this lead”.

However, even EU based companies can still sell prod-

ucts tested on animals to other countries, and over 80%

of countries worldwide sell cosmetics tested on ani-

mals. Cruelty Free International are still fighting to bring

an end to all animal testing worldwide. You can follow

their campaign here www.crueltyfreeinternational.org

The long road to crulety free: 1898 - The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection

(BUAV) was founded to campaign against all forms of

animal testing

1973 - The BUAV first brought the issue of cosmetics

testing on animals to the public attention

1990 - The BUAV established the European Coalition to

End Cosmetics Tests on Animals (now the European

Coalition to End Animal Experiments – ECEAE) an al-

liance of leading European animal organisations formed

for the purpose of ending animal tests for cosmetics in

the EU

1991 - The BUAV and ECEAE organise an international

march and rally in Brussels and an iconic, larger than

life ‘laboratory rabbit’ Vanity tours countries across Eu-

rope to urge MEPs to vote to end animal tests for cos-

metics

1996 - Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, joined

members of the BUAV, ECEAE, MEPs and Chrissie

Hynde in presenting a petition containing 4 million sig-

natures to the European Commission to end animal

testing for cosmetics

2004 - A ban on animal testing of finished cosmetic

products (but not ingredients) was imposed in Europe

2009 - Testing of cosmetic ingredients on animals any-

where in the EU is made illegal, as was selling or im-

porting into the EU any animal tested ingredients to be

used in cosmetics. However, three animal tests were

made exempt in order to allow non-animal tests to be

validated.

2011 - The BUAV and its European partners launch the

No Cruel Cosmetics campaign to call for the import and

sales ban to be implemented in 2013 as planned with-

out delay or derogation.

2012 - The BUAV founds Cruelty Free International, the

first organisation to campaign for a global ban on ani-

mal tests for consumer products. The Body Shop hosts

our global pledge campaign in its stores worldwide.

11th March 2013 - A complete ban on animal testing for

cosmetics is implemented in the EU.
