Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt & top model Jodie Kidd join Marks & Spencer to support BUAV Campaign to End Animal Testing in Europe

Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt and top model Jodie Kidd, along with British actress Jenny Seagrove and designer Meg Matthews, are among the first celebrities to support the BUAV in saying NO to cruel cosmetics. They are joined by companies that do not test their cosmetics on animals, including high street giants Marks & Spencer, male grooming brand Bulldog and Kimberly Wyatt’s new make-up range BM Beauty in supporting BUAV’s campaignto end the sale of cosmetics in the EU that have been cruelly tested on animals.

The EU is due to ban the sale of all new cosmetics and toiletries that have been tested on animals outside the EU from 2013. However, officials are now considering extending this deadline. This is despite massive public opposition to animal tested cosmetics and an existing ban on conducting animal tests for cosmetics inside the EU. The 2013 ban on sales could be delayed for 10 more years during which thousands of animals will be injected, gassed, force-fed and killed for cosmetics on sale in the EU.
Mike Barry, Head of Sustainable Business at Marks & Spencer stated “We know that animal testing is a significant concern for our customers, and that great products can be manufactured safely without the use of animal tests. All our beauty products carry the BUAV leaping bunny symbol and we fully support the BUAV's campaign to ensure the 2013 deadline is implemented.”

Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt said “My make-up range BM Beauty is approved free from animal testing by BUAV proving that there is no need to test beauty products on animals. Don’t delay the ban on selling cruel beauty products in the EU any longer. Say NO to Cruel Cosmetics.”

Simon Duffy, Co-Founder of Bulldog said: "At Bulldog, we believe that testing cosmetics and toiletries on animals is cruel and unnecessary, which is why our products carry the Leaping Bunny as independently approved by the BUAV. We urge everybody to sign the BUAV's petition and say NO to cruel cosmetics in Europe."

Jenny Seagrove stated: "Testing toiletries and cosmetics on animals is cruel and unnecessary and must be stopped as soon as possible. Please sign the BUAV's No Cruel Cosmetics petition calling on the EU to uphold its ban for 2013 on the sale of these cruel products.”

BUAV runs the internationally recognised scheme that enables consumers to identify and purchase cruelty-free products. In the UK this scheme, the Humane Cosmetic Standard, is identified by the Leaping Bunny Logo. Marks & Spencer, Bulldog and BM Beauty all carry the BUAV Leaping Bunny logo. www.buav.org

THINK PINK FOR THIS SEASON’S WINNING LOOK WITH MYFACE COSMETICS . . .

Pastel toned makeup is set to be a huge beauty trend this spring and screen icons like Claire Danes and Lea Michelle are already setting the pink standard. . .

For the perfect pink pout, artistic director of myface cosmetics, Kabuki says . . .

“Always outline and fill in the entire lips using a lipliner in a matching colour to your lipstick. If you don't want to sport a full on lipstick effect try applying as a soft stain. Simply pat on lipstick like the myface cosmetics gigabite lipstick in sweet dreams (£9.99, Boots) using your finger for the best result. Dab a tissue to your lips after the first application and then reapply a second time to make the colour last and last".

Newly appointed artistic director of myface cosmetics, Kabuki is the master of high-fashion fantasy and real-world beauty, which has made him a favourite of pop-icons Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and Madonna as well as Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker. In fact, SJP's signature Sex & The City dewy complexion, soft pink cheeks and glittering eyes were all part of Kabuki's magic.

Company Magazine to be based at Heathrow Terminal 5 this week!

Company magazine, the glossy monthly women’s title published by the National Magazine Company, will this week be editing the March issue of the magazine at Heathrow Terminal 5 – a world first for the magazine industry.

From Monday January 17 to Friday January 21, as part of Company’s ‘Hello World’ campaign, the 30-strong editorial team will be writing the magazine at a relocated Company office in the middle of the Terminal 5 departures space. ‘Hello World’ is a 12-month campaign to encourage, inform and advise young women on all aspects of worldwide travel.

Travellers at Terminal 5 will be able to watch the Company team at work as they create content for the magazine around their ‘Hello World’ campaign, featuring interviews with airline staff, real-life airport fashion spotting, and a 15-page fashion feature shot inside the terminal itself. Also in the issue will be a shoot with Total Wipeout’s globe-trotting presenter Amanda Byram, and the man behind the ‘Gap Yah’ YouTube sensation, Matt Lacey. In addition, the Company fashion team will be executing another ‘first’ for Heathrow, by shooting part of their fashion feature out on the airfield.

Victoria White, Editor, Company magazine, says: “As a world-first, editing a magazine at an airport terminal is something we’re incredibly excited about here at Company. It’s a perfect fit with our Hello World campaign, which will hopefully highlight the benefits of world travel for young women, whether they be students, professionals or just fancy holidaying somewhere different! The logistics of doing an entire 8-page fashion shoot using only liquids less than 100ml will be a challenge, though – we’re going to have to pack carefully!”

Meribeth Parker, Group Publishing Director, Company magazine, says: “Editing an issue of a monthly glossy magazine from inside an airport terminal is typical of Company’s can-do attitude! It’s a brave move by the editorial team to put together fashion shoots, interviews and features amongst the bustle of an international airport, but if anyone can do it, they can.”

Malcolm Robertson of Heathrow says: “We’re delighted to be working with Company in this world first – and to support the magazine’s campaign to encourage more young women to go out and see the world. The office will add a unique and unexpected dimension to the journeys of the five million people expected to fly through Terminal 5 during Company’s residency. Passengers will be able to enjoy the live theatre of watching the Company team putting together the magazine and the chance to potentially appear in one of the UK’s leading fashion and lifestyle magazines.”

The Global Issue, featuring all the content from Company’s week at Terminal 5, will appear in the March issue, on sale February 12.

Fringe Trend Alert - Sandra Bullock At The Golden Globes

AND THE GOLDEN GLOBES RED CARPET WINNING LOOK GOES TO . . . THE FRINGE!!!

Lee Stafford says . . .
“To recreate this style like Sandra you will need to get a really straight, blunt fringe. When styling, aim a hairdryer with a diffuser sock (to combat frizz), like my Featherlight Stormforce Hairdryer (£49.99) down the hair shaft but don’t move the hair too much as this will create body. If you want a flick, use a round brush and roll into the hair going backwards. Put the heat of the hair dryer on it, then let the round brush cool down a little before you take it out. To finish the look, spritz my light Poker Straight Dehumidifier (£5.71) over hair for a fuss and frizz free fringe with subtle shine.”

LEE’S TOP TIP:
If you are desperate to trim your own fringe between trips to the salon it’s important to know that you must cut slowly and UPWARDS into your fringe. simply cutting straight across your fringe will result in a line that will be too blunt and difficult to correct later on

Lee Stafford haircare is available exclusively at Boots nationwide and Boots.com
