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:

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.
