<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I recently re-wrote and updated the guide to veggie/vegan make-up available on the high street, so thought I'd best do the same with the online guide. I was originally going to do one big post for both, but it was going to be MASSIVE and would've been a slog for anyone reading it....which I suppose is a good thing, the more the better, right!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As with the high street guide I have tried to avoid putting companies owned by a parent company that do test on animals, feel free to let me know if one has slipped in there. And again in most cases this is because the parent company sells on mainland China where animal testing of products is obligatory (this only affects the mainland, Hong Kong does not come under this law). Only products SOLD in Chinese stores there, a company can sell to Chinese consumers via their website and remain cruelty free. Products made in China for sale elsewhere are not effected by this law, so don't worry if you see 'made in China' or 'made in P.R.C'.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">As usual I have alphabetised the list to make it easier to skim through and of course I have included links. It's split in companies that have a UK distributor and those who ship internationally to the UK from their website. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">It's a much expanded list since last time, so buckle up!</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well first off the lis is soooo much bigger, which is fantastic. There's some real variety in there from budget to luxury, indie to big brands and plenty of UK stockists. I'll keep going in to do check ups and put last updated at the top of the page, hopefully it keeps getting bigger.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Brands we've lost? Well, Tarte was on there before, but I now know that they are predominately owned by Japanese company Kose who are animal testers (they own Rimmel amongst many others), so I took them out this time. Also Paula's Choice are gone as they seem to have changed their mind about some of their products being vegan and state on their site that they make no vegan claims. So not too bad, all in all....</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">UPDATED 12/01/18</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Well, hello there lovely friends.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once more it has been an absolute age since i wrote anything....of course it has! So I thought it was about time that i not only updated the whole veggie/vegan make-up list, but wrote a nice fresh post on it. It's been a while since I even updated the original post (thanks for that, motherhood) and much has changed, some good, some bad. I was going to do an online/on the high street all in one, but it was just gonna be way to large a post, so that's a definite plus. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Again I have tried to avoid putting companies owned by a parent company who does test on animals, please let me know if one has slipped in there. It's worth noting that in most cases this is because the parent company sells on mainland China where animal testing of products is obligatory (this only affects the mainland, Hong Kong does not come under this law). Bare in mind that this only effects products SOLD in stores there, a company can sell to Chinese consumers via their website and remain cruelty free. Also, products made in China for sale elsewhere are not effected by this law, so don't worry if you see 'made in China' or 'made in P.R.C'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As usual I've (tried to) alphabetise it. All the lists of what is veggie friendly is to be found online, regardless of how you purchase it, of course I have included links. It's a big 'un, so lets get stuck in....</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So what's changed?</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, this list is still pretty long, so let us rejoice! We have gained a fantastic budget beauty brand with Tam Beauty (Freedom, I Heart Make-up and Make-up Revolution) as well as some high enders in Kat Von D and Hourglass. And we've also welcomed back the Body Shop which is great, the list just didn't feel complete without them. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the down side Too Faced has been acquired by Estee Lauder, so I've removed them from the list (I've read that it's written into their contract that no animal testing ever be conducted on their products or ingredients, so looks like Lauder won't be taking it into mainland China like it did the rest of its brands). I'm sad to say we've also lost Sleek make-up, they were acquired by Boots who have merged with an American company called Walgreens and Sleek has re-branded and they no longer mark their products vegetarian and vegan like they used too. And, saddest of all for me, Barabra Daley for Tesco make-up no longer exists.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Liz Earle is also on the list as Avon have sold them to Boots Walgreens Alliance. The chat that I can find on Boots Wallgreens suggests that they have suppliers who animal test, but my understanding of this is that they referto those companies that sell within their store ie Maybeline, Rimmel, etc, who are nimal testers, so I've included it for now.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also, a few people have mentioned Soap and Glory to me to include them in these posts, but any time I checked the Soap and Glory's site I've found their statement to be a bit ambiguous, so decided to omit them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thought I'd include a little footnote with regards to make-up tools as I know lots of folks want to avoid animal hair brushes, weather they're cruelty free or not.

<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, I'm up the duff. Due my first baby, a wee girl, in just under 4 weeks, so of course my mind has been on stocking up on all those baby essentials so that I'm good and ready for when she gets here. There's plenty you need to think about from teeny, tiny nail clippers to nappies, to those things that suck the boggies out their nose when they have the cold to, of course, toiletries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Since all my own toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning products are cruelty free and veggie friendly it seemed a bit odd that I don't do the same for my offsprings products! So what better time to compile a quick guide to make life a wee bit easier.</span><br />

<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Firstly, good news, there's a lot more out there than you'd think. With babies having very sensitive skin I think the thought of there being no animal bi-products in their bath, especially notorious allergens like lanolin, has a greater appeal to mothers across the board rather than those looking at it from a purely cruelty free perspective. The bad news is that a lot of it is bloody expensive!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When you're expecting you really start to consider your finances. You start buying in nappies months in advance so that your stocked up don't feel the impact of the cost immediately after the birth, you look at baby formula and gasp at the price, you sit with your online banking and consider the direct debits you could do without and start cancelling....its one of the less fun, but very necessary, parts of preparing for a new arrival. So when you've done all that (and plenty more besides!) do you really want to be considering spending 8 quid on one bottle of baby lotion? Probably not.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lots of the more expensive brands are to be found online, which is an additional pain in the arse, cos is anyone really THAT organised after having a baby?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So it is with this in mind that complied a small guide for where to get you're hands on cruelty free, veggie/vegan stuffs for your baby as easily, and cheaply as possible. If you've read any of my posts before some of these will already be familiar, so here we go....</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><u>The Big 3</u></span></h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Your 3 best pals when it comes to veggie/vegan baby care are the obvious ones: Co-operative, Superdrug and ASDA! These are the stalwarts of many a cruelty free list as they offer products that are not tested on animals AND bother to mark which ones are also devoid of animal parts.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.co-operativefood.co.uk/groceries/baby-products/" target="_blank"><b>Co-Operative Food</b></a> - Co-Op were the first UK supermarket to gain Leaping Bunny status and have been marking their non-food own buy items with a V (in this case for 'vegan') for a fair few years now. As they are a local store, found on more high streets than any other leading market stores, they can be a godsend!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">All of their own toiletries are marked with a V where appropriate, including their baby stuff. The only bummer is that they seem to favour bigger brands than their own stuff in smaller stores where the selection is limited. However you'll normally find a wee sneaky body lotion and wipes in there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">Price point</span><span style="color: #bf9000;">: you probably won't spend more than £2.50 on an individual item (excluding nappies).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Baby/c/baby" target="_blank"><b>Superdrug</b></a> - I swear I'm not an agent for Superdrug, despite what every blog I seem to write may suggest!! When it comes to your baby's cosmetic needs it don't come much better than Superdrug's My Little Star products. They're Leaping Bunny approved, the back of their products are marked suitable for vegetarians/vegans where appropriate </span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">as are the items on their website,</span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> (everything I've looked at so far has been vegan except nappy cream, which is only vegetarian), and they have a great selection! Shampoo, baby oil, top-to-toe wash, nappy cream, wipes, sleepy time wash, sunblock......everything!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Another thing I love about Superdrug in general is that they're always doing great offers on their own buy products, which of course extends to their baby care, AND they do baby event offers. The last time I was in they were doing 2 for £1.50 as well as 10% off when you spend £5 or more on baby products....ya beauty!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Price point</span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">: you're looking at 99p to £5.99 (for sunblock), but this is excluding any in-store offers.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They mark the back of their products and online with a V which, in this case, stands for 'suitable for vegetarians' (sorry vegans). But since this massively narrows the field it shouldn't be too hard for you vegan types to work out what is OK and what's not. I'd say just under 50% of their baby toiletries are marked with a V.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">ASDA are another one who do baby and toddler events and can have great offers across the board. I got my Tommy Tipee prep machine for 60 quid (on average they're £80-£110 elsewhere) and a baby gym for a fiver, so definitely check those events out when they're on!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been continuing to update the list of cruelty free veggie/vegan cosmetics as usual though (<a href="http://tattybon.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/update-vegan-and-vegetarian-cruelty.html">read it here</a>), so fear not, it is still current.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let me start this post by stating that; you get what you pay for = a croc of shit!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We all know it's true, even when we go out and blow a chunk of our wages on that little big budget beauty buy we just can't resist, lets face it! Now, I'm not saying that there aren't some pretty pricey pieces in my make-up kit, but there is such a wealth of great products out there that'll fit even the thriftiest of budgets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">So, I though I'd throw myself back into the fray with a little review of some cosmetics goodies you want in your make-up bag that won't leave you penniless. And, as always, all items are </span><b><span style="color: #783f04;">cruelty free and veggie friendly.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First up.....</span><br />
<h4>
<a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/">E.LF Studio Mascara Primer £4.50</a></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-QCVrLtVlZ8153aGFmOnbz_6SNU4p09YcIvbIA03U7DbC13YKQL0Qo8drhryDX86UNPK5ABMYps-P3InIf2HlJrLcsf1x-ufqnTDAO5qyYdaBzaMYX0IboRZ4NwjW9ktOY6U7vr9vVcM/s1600/elf-studio-mascara-primer0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-QCVrLtVlZ8153aGFmOnbz_6SNU4p09YcIvbIA03U7DbC13YKQL0Qo8drhryDX86UNPK5ABMYps-P3InIf2HlJrLcsf1x-ufqnTDAO5qyYdaBzaMYX0IboRZ4NwjW9ktOY6U7vr9vVcM/s1600/elf-studio-mascara-primer0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OK, I should start by admitting that I've not actually tried any other mascara primers. But when the first one you try is bangin' and a snip of a price at under 5 quid, who cares!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have long but fine lashes which can sometimes lead to the spider legs effect. I don't like to layer my mascara as I really don't like how it feels and I am terrible for touching my face....and no one needs that much mascara rubbed in their eyes!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got this guy a while back to give my lashes a thicker look and I must say, I am smitten! It works a treat. I only apply one coat to the underside of my lashes, then when dry apply one coat of mascara to the top the underside of my upper lashes. I'd also only apply it to your bottom lashes if you're looking for an Aunt Sally look.</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">E.L.F is available online and all make-up products are vegan.</span></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OK, so maybe £9.99 isn't everyones idea of a 'budget' foundation, but it sure as shit is mine! I've had some incredibly expensive foundations over the years that were mince compared to this bad boy! And this is Superdrug we're talking about here friends, so you know you'll get it on special every other week. The last time I bought it it was a FIVER!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No matter the price, this is by far one of the best foundations I've used in a long time. I wouldn't call it complete coverage, more medium, but then, I've had some foundations that were like painting your face with emulsion! It goes on just lovely and has a nice dewy finish and because it's moisturising it doesn't look dry under your eyes the way many fuller coverage foundations do. I highly recommend it.</span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">I'm a big fan of this product. Mild enough to use daily but good enough to remove make-up, it's a great all rounder. It's also a dupe for the Liz Earle hot polish cleanser which a lot of us have forsaken since Liz Earle are owned by Avon, who are no longer cruelty free.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not a fan of muslin cloths, I substitute them with a face cloth (which you can get from the pound shop....keep it budget, yo) as they hold the heat better and give your face a light exfoliating.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although it's full price is £5.99 I don't think I have EVER paid that for it. At the time of writing this blog it was £2.99. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I actually have bother believing that these are only 8 quid sometimes. 12 pigment packed eyeshadows in one pallet, Sleek I-Divines have to be the ultimate budget make-up. To put it in context, they are actually cheaper that one MAC eyeshadow. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They have been massively popular and there are now umpteen pallets to choose from, with a great colour range. So if your into your natural shades and won't be using those electric blue shades any time soon (or vise versa) not to fear as the shades within the pallets are all very complimentary. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I seriously LOVE these lashes. As anyone thats used them knows, false eyelashes can be a right pain in the arse! They are often so stiff they pop off the corner of your eyes, they are too long and need trimmed, which can leave them looking a bit mental, they're so long they obliterate the eye makeup you just spent the last hour doing.....you know what I mean.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, I'm not a fan of a pre-glued lash generally, so I usually just peel the glue strip off. Having said that, I have used them with glue band when pushed for time and they were significantly better than any other pre-glued I've tried.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think these wee guys strike the perfect lash balance. They're soft and mould to the shape of the eye, and the band is fine enough that it blends with the lash....no need for a eye liner cover up. Being petite means that they look great on most eyes (the edge is very easy to blend in with mascara on longer eyes) and they're natural enough to enhance your look rather than overwhelm it. I've used them on brides, shoots as well as friends on a night out. I've had some pretty expensive lashed over the years and these Chity Chick lashes wipe the floor with them. Give them a try....your eyes and purse will thank you.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I like to split this list into high street and online. Although most are likely to be found on the internet its always good to know where you can pop into when you feel like treating yourself to a new lipstick!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #b45f06;">Sorry to end on a bum note, but I thought it best to add this to the blog</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>ONES TO LOOK OUT FOR</u></span></h3>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So this may be a bit of a downer to end a blog that has such a large list of great ethical companies, but i felt it important to add, as there are still A LOT of misconceptions out there.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lime Crime</span></u></b><span style="color: #b45f06;"> - Lets start with a controversial one, why not!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lime Crime are ever expanding and the have a lot of loyal fans, not least of all due to their Velvatine lip colours. They have claimed to be cruelty free and marked their products vegan for a long time, they can even be found in the vegan section of Cocktail Cosmetics (although this will soon cease to be the case as they have pulled distribution and will only be able to be bought direct from their own site). But there is SOOOOO MUCH information now out there saying Lime Crime is are indeed NOT vegan as well as alluding to all sorts of shady shenanigans. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Claims that they have bought cosmetics wholesale and simply changed the packaging, claims that they have threatened to sue bloggers for simply giving their products a bad review, claims that they're ripping off other brands....the list continues. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is some pretty nasty and personal stuff out there, most of it targeted directly at Lime Crime founder Xenia (aka Doe Deere) and quite unnecessary. However one blog which I believe to be reliable on this matter is </span><a href="http://ohdeardoedeere.tumblr.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh Dear Doe Deere</a><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. The writer of this, Nicola, has done her research!! This is one gal who knows whats she's taking about and strives to information unlike some of the other sites I've seen on the matter.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Urban Decay</u></b></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - Urban Decay were once champions of the cruelty free and, bar one hick-up with the Vegan Eye Pallet, were much loved by followers of cruelty free. They had good products in a great range of colours and vegan items were clearly marked. Unfortunately in 2012 they were bought over by notorious animal testers L'Oreal. L'Oreal then decided to take them into China where animal testing is compulsory, carried out by the Chinese government. After a rather fierce consumer backlash they then turned on their heels and announced that they would no longer be entering the Chinese market.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While that is great news, they are still owned by animal testing giant L'Oreal. There are two schools of though on weather to still buy from companies like Urban Decay; those who feel that by purchasing their products that they are sending a message to companies like L'Oreal that they should change their ways as consumers want to shop 'cruelty free' and will not purchase from the mother company. And then there are those who will now consider Urban Decay to no longer be cruelty free until L'Oreal, and all companies under their umbrella, change their ways. I am of the latter, I want no part of them, regardless of their retaining their PETA and Leaping Bunny symbols.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Body Shop</u></b></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - This one breaks my heart. Again, pioneers of cruelty free (with all products vegetarian) and sending out the ethical message well before it was 'trendy', they were bought over by L'Oreal in 2006. They have never tried to take then into China, but other than that the above information applies.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">Liz Earle</span></u></b><span style="color: #b45f06;"> - Almost the same again. All vegetarian products and they have maintained their Leaping Bunny status, but are owned by Avon. Avon are another one who denounced their cruelty free ways and decided China was the way to go (although they have not taken Liz Earle with them).</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hay, hay. So another day, another cruelty free/veggie product review.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time I'm focusing on the face with a wee sneaky face mask.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm not fond of my skin at all. Combination skin is a pain as you often feel like you get the worst of both worlds. Recently my skin was feeling kinda congested. My pores were clogged, the dryness on my cheeks didn't seem to want to budge, even with a micro dermabrasion wash, leaving it looking pretty dull. I was having none of it, so I popped down to </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lush</a><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I was in there a few weeks back I was talking to one of the lovely ladies who work there (who had some rather fabulous green rimmed glasses, by the way) & was having a whinge about my skin. She sat me down and had a chat to me about a couple of products she thought might help. She really knew her shit. One of said products was the <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/masks/mask-magnaminty">Mask of Magnaminty</a>. She gave me a wee sample and a couple of weeks later I was right back in there buying the biggest tub I could get my hands on!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">I know a lot of people who didn't like going into Buchanan St Lush in Glasgow. The smell in there was pretty over whelming, you could smell it on your clothes when you left and it's not somewhere you'd want to spend a lot of time if you're prone to sore heads. However, a few months back they moved the store to new premises right across the road and, I have to say, I think any issues former Lush haters may have had are a thing of the past. The new Buchanan St branch is all on one level, looks great, the layout makes it much easier to shop and they must have some shit hot ventilation because the old over whelming smell problem is a thing of the past. It still has the smell of a hundred and one bath bombs (it just wouldn't be <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/">Lush</a> without it), but I doubt it'd irritate even the most delicate snoze.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mask of Magnaminty, as the name suggests, is a face mask for troubled skin containing peppermint oil. It smells pretty great. As with all Lush products it's </span><a href="https://www.vegsoc.org/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vegetarian Society</a><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> approved, but contains honey so not one for the vegans. It smooths on the face (& back and chest if you so wish) really easily, you leave it for five to ten minutes then rinse it off with lukewarm water.....& boy, what a difference it makes!!</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It feels nice on, doesn't dry so hard it hurts your face, and has ground evening primrose seeds and aduki beans when you rinse it off it lightly exfoliates. My skin felt GREAT when I rinsed it off and moisturised. It was brighter, the areas of dryness felt soothed, not tight or sore, my pores were reduced and much, much cleaner. I really chuffed I was recommend this product.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Prince point wise it's £9.25 for 315g (which is what I got) or there is a smaller tub of 125g for £5.25. I know a few folk might see that as pricey, but it's pretty poplar (it was actually the first thing I saw when I logged onto the Lush website), & I got the last one in the shop when I was in. You get a lot of product for your coin, it goes a long way and, most importantly, it works. So I for one won't quibble on the price of this one. If you're not sure about it you can always pop into your nearest store and ask for a sample....that's the beauty of <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/">Lush</a>!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;">The Barras is situated between the Gallowgate and London Rd as you leave the city centre and enter East End and has existed for a century. It is both famous and infamous in equal measure and boasts a somewhat varied history. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">A once bustling market place, it is now far quieter than even just a few years back. Much of it's infamy comes from its oldy worldy charm being diluted by people selling illegal software, tobacco, pirate DVDs, and counterfeit designer ware. The recent closure of the nearby Paddy's Market did noting to help, as many of its more determined traders moved their bed sheet covered in random rubbish 'stalls' to the Barras. However, </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">the Barras found it's darkest hour in the late 1960's as the Barrowland Ballroom was the hunting ground of </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_John">Bible John</a><span style="color: #b45f06;">. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">The main building consists of a street level where the traders are and the upper level is the Barrowlands Ballroom. In by gone years the </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Ballroom was one of Glasgow's premier dance halls, with young people from all over the city and beyond flocking there to dance the night away every weekend. </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Unfortunately in 1968/69 it fell pray to </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Bible John. Thought to be Scotland's only serial killer for many years, he earned his name by frequently quoting the bible. He is strongly suspected of sexually assaulting and murdering 3 women, although there are many who think him responsible for other killings. Despite the efforts of the police Bible John was never caught, although it is speculated that he and Peter Toban are one and the same (and it's pretty hard to argue with).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Dark as this past may be, the Ballroom is now turned around. </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Nowadays the ballroom is (in my opinion) one of Glasgow's finest gig venues. It has a charm that no other venue can touch. It still boasts the many of the features of it's dance room hay day....some may call it shabby, but what do they know!! Plus, the old ladies that work there are lovely!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">As for the 'rouge traders', don't be fooled into thinking thats what the Barras is all about! I have bought some AMAZING stuff there, none of it dodgy knock offs. It breaks my heart to see how quiet it's become. There may be the guys out and about selling rubbish track suits, but theres so much more to it than that! Lets think about it...</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;">When I lived in a tenement and something when wrong with the fuse box, where did I go to find extra fuses; the Barras, when my Dyson got a bit worse for ware & needed parts where did I go; the Barras. There's definitely a practical side to the place that we all seem to forget until we need it! Just think of <a href="http://billstoolstore.com/">Bill's Tool Store</a>,; I think most of us have lost our boyfriends in there for an hour at one point or another.....& I've bought many a craft supply there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">There are also still lots of traders selling second hand goods. When I was there last weekend I was drooling over some of the furniture. Betty's Arcade has some of the nicest, and fairly priced, vintage furniture I've seen in a long while. There were original 60's 3 piece suites, dressers, coat racks, side tables.....just...everything! There are a few antique pieces in there also. One of the traders is selling custom homewares too, they had some lovely lamp shades cushions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">In the Square Yard across the way there's now a vintage clothes shop as well as one of my favourite stalls selling what you might call ob-je-da .....mirrors, dollhouse bits, jewellery, lace, bags. I love it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">And there's the classics. The stall selling all the incense and smoking paraphernalia, the military stalls selling collectables and some rather fantastic mess jackets, the vintage jewellery stalls, the tea room and that whole jumble section in the main building (& don't be fooled, there's some wee gems to be found in there).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">In recent years there have also been new development in the form of the B.A.A.D Centre. Now, I won't pretend to be an expert on it but it is resident to some Glasgow fashion designers and it has hosted Menergy parties before. I imagine they'll be a lot of development there in the future.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;">If you're not into the stall action there's also all the surrounding shops. </span><a href="http://www.fabric-bazaar.com/">Fabric Bazaar</a><span style="color: #b45f06;"> is there, and it's the first port of call for most of the dress makers and crafters i know for affordable fabric and haberdashery. The wool shop is there, and despite the resurgence in the popularity of knitting, I don't even know of another wool shop! There's also the usual fashion outlets and a few furniture shops and shops specialising in Polish food, a music shop and even a wee sports shop selling roller boots! The old Bairds Bar is now closed down (sorry Celtic fans) & is apparently being converted into a big furniture shop!</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">There's still so much to be found, its always worth a wee wonder down there. I've seen so much you just wouldn't get anywhere else. Is there another place where you can buy a genuine ships wheel at one stall, human glass eyes at another then some house plants at another? The Barras is ingrained into Glasgow; it's history, it's </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">culture, its giging for gods sake! It shouldn't be allowed to slip through our fingers. Its future is forever a matter of debate and speculation, recent stories I have heard are that its being made into a 'proper' market with a farmers market and the like, that it's being made into a large car boot sale and, God forbid, that it's getting levelled to make room for real estate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">I'm a strong believer that the latter should not be allowed to happen. I can see the others working, so long as most of the essence of the Barras (the indoor parts, in my opinion) is kept.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know a lot of people will look at this blog with a sense of cynicism, but I think if you haven't been down the Barras for a long while, or if you're put off by the thought a bunch of guys wondering about the street shouting 'fiver lighters fir a poun'' at you, think again. I'm not saying don't make sure your purse is well secured at the bottom of your handbag when your there, but don't be put off, the ol' place still has a lot going for it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well hello there, long time, no blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So yeah, I've been away for ages (again). I'm using my new house and the relaunch of my website, <a href="http://tattybon.com/">tattybon.com</a> (which has a veritable tonne of new products, by the way) as my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I may have been busy, but never gone. Now, what better way to get the bloggin' toes wet </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">again than by a wee sneaky product review. So here goes.....</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple of months ago I got my first ever PERM! That's right, a perm. I managed to avoid them completely during their heyday in the 80's and 90's, and I have no idea what I was thinking, but hey, a perm I got. Now, I know that un-styled my hair can look like a halloween witches wig, but when I do style it, be it pin curled, blow dried or straightened, DAM does it look good! My hair is fine, but I have lots of it, and it has always been a little bitch and refused to do anything I tell it! Attempts at a curl ended up in it being straighter than if I hadn't bothered ten minutes after I've finished and volume was out of the question without a fuck tone of back combing....say hello to the fuzz!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But those days are gone now, I can pin curl for a fabby vintage style, straighten it or even curl the ends with straighteners and it stays all day...and always with a nice wee bit of bounce. So an 80's throwback perm has saved my hair....who knew, eh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, all this fabulous permy goodness aside, I have done a fair bit of abuse to my hair over the years (including this perm), not least of all with bleach. You can't perm bleached hair as the 2 things HATE each other. Normally if you permed bleached hair it will end in a world of fuzz and broken hair. I haven't had my hair Pillarbox Red in some time, but there was def some left over bleached follicles from when I did for sure. So my hair through the ends was left a bit worse for wear. And so stepped in <a href="http://www.oldwivestail.com/">Old Wives Tail</a> hair treatment oil!!</span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Their products are all cruelty free and vegan.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Their products are all organic; no damaging chemicals, no paraben nasties, no silicon to con you into thinking you have lovely smooth hair after the first use and discover you have a grotty build up after the third.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They donate 10% from their profit to animal welfare charities.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They have a <a href="http://www.oldwivestail.com/blogs/hairstyles">hairstyles blog</a> on their website (useful) and it contains lots of info, not only on hair styling and the like, but information on animal testing prevention as well as competitions.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can use a teeny bit of the oil on dry hair as serum.</span></li>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It came mega fast, especially good when you consider the shipping is free, and when I got my oil there it was, wrapped in a wee granny napkin (I do enjoy the details). The first thing you notice when you open it is the smell. It smells amazing!! I kinda wanted to eat it. The consistency is that of an actual oil, rather than the serum type treatment oils, and is to be applied to damp hair and left on for about an hour or so then rinsed thoroughly and shampooed until the hair feels clean. The first time I used it I applied too much, that's a thing with me, I always get a bit over zealous when using new products, so it wasn't until the following day when I washed it that I felt the benefit of it. My hair felt smoother, was easier to comb when wet and my ends were definitely less scrunchy....and it still smelled great! Now, the only thing that was ever going to save the very ends of my hair was to chop them off (bleach + perming lotion, remember), but it really did make a difference.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After I had used it a couple of times I went to my hair dresser for the aforementioned chop and she was rather impressed by the condition my hair was in. I've still maintained dying it black after the perm and black hair dye can be pretty brutal on damaged hair, so I'm really pleased my hairdresser approved. She recommended that I use it once a month from now on to maintain its condition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Price point wise you can expect to pay about what you would for a decent Argan oil treatment, maybe a little bit more. But there is no shipping cost with Old Wives Tail and you get a fair whack of product for you buck....it will last you ages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So YES I most certainly do recommend this product. Like I said, don't get over excited like I did and use too much (although, despite this, my hair didn't look greasy). If your hair is especially damaged I would use it once a week as the site recommends, the reason I will be using it less is because I even struggle with shampoos leaving my hair lank and it currently sooks up product like no ones business, so less is more just now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They're all over that social networking thing, so see their <a href="http://www.oldwivestail.com/">homepage</a> and scroll to the bottom for links to your favourite.</span></div>

Well, horder really, since I don't steal....much.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just like nothing better than filling up a room, and the walls are no exception.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have one wall in my living room that I just cover in prints that I have came across and love. On an evening while watching TV with the boy I often find my eye drifting over to my busy wall, and I just sit and appreciate it. Many of my prints I have collected while attending or working at tattoo conventions (the <a href="http://www.scottishtattooconvention.net/">Scottish Tattoo Convention</a> in Edinburgh being my favorite) & i have a few prints by the same artists. But there is one selection of prints I favour which come from a very different source.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I first discovered <a href="https://www.facebook.com/eilean.shona">Eilean-Shona Arts</a> when I had a stall at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GrannyProud?fref=ts">Granny Would be Proud craft/vintage</a> fair in Glasgow's west end. As i was going through a rather rabid print collecting phase about then, it couldn't have come at a better time!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What drew my eye to her work is just how clean and crisp it is. Her style is that interesting hybrid of simple yet detailed. Illustrations are against a plain background and many feature no, or very little colour, the main image drawn using only pencil. Now, I'm sure to some, that sounds dull, but it really makes you appreciate how beautiful and detailed that main image is. Her illustrations are varied, but many are nature orientated, which I'm especially fond of. Not all of her prints I have are of animals of course, but I must admit, most are...they're just so beautiful! I mean, who wouldn't want to own something from her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/eilean.shona/media_set?set=a.353585778023063.77402.100001149304295&type=3">'Animals that Mate for Life' </a>collection?! I'm actually a little obsessed by her latest works of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.609970309067781.1073741840.390105194387628&type=3">animals in jars</a>. So far i have <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=609970325734446&set=a.609970309067781.1073741840.390105194387628&type=3&theater">Red Panda</a>, but I plan on collecting them all!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, if you like her style but aren't into animals (you're a freak), not to fear. She also has a beautiful collection of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.441273399270807.100532.390105194387628&type=3">fashion illustration</a> that carries her signature style beautifully, in addition to some interesting, and pretty varied, art photography (find folders <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/EileanShonaArts/photos_albums">here</a></u>). And if you're just not into pictures then, again, fear not, as she does a rather excellent selection of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.399516343446513.88937.390105194387628&type=3">merchandise </a>such as bookmarks, note pads and little vanity mirrors.....excellent giftage I hear you say?!</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think a lot of people are put off by the idea of owning 'art', rather than some nice pictures they got from Ikea, because they think of it as being arsey or too expensive. Now, as much as I can appreciate where this attitude comes from, it needn't be the case & I think artists such as this are putting paid to this kind of thinking. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/eilean.shona">Eilean-Shona</a> prints will set you back a mere £15 for an 8x10" print and only a couple of quid for a greetings card. All are printed and mounted on lovely paper and you can also buy <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.441334402598040.100547.390105194387628&type=3">framed prints</a> and photographs and, of course, there's the gift merchandise. Now being able to buy art at craft fairs, such as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GrannyProud?fref=ts">Granny</a>, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so what could be easier?

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, it's came to my attention that I've been banging on about cruelty free make-up so much I've neglected all the other products us ladies are so fond of! So where better to correct this than with HAIR!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have a bit of a 'thing' for shampoo (along with foundation & mascaras it's my cosmetic obsession). I have fine hair and lots of it, this means that A LOT of products are too heavy for my hair and it tends to look oily and lackluster very quickly as a result, often leaving me with dull lifeless hair more often than not. So, needless to say, I have gone through a fuck tone trying to find shampoos etc that I like....your gonna hear me whinge a lot about my hair in this post I'm afraid.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I have compiled a list of hair products and brands, most of which I've used, that may be of help to the discerning lover of cruelty free, vegan/vegi to boot, hair care products! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lets start at the very beginning....a very good place to start.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<u><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shampoo & conditioner</span></u></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Superdrug</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ah, good ol' <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/">Superdrug</a>, I do love you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">See, the wonderful thing about <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/">Superdrug </a>is that almost all of their own buy products are vegan and/or vegetarian, marked clearly on the back of their packaging.... & it is very light on the wallet! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They have 2 shampoos that are among my favorites, their <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/conditioners/superdrug-extracts-conditioner-cherry+fig-400ml/invt/710273&bklist=">Extracts cherry and fig shampoo & conditioner</a> & their<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/superdrug/superdrug-shampoo-volume-pro-v-400ml/invt/233152&bklist="> Pro Vitamin full volume shampoo</a>. I found both of these great for my fine hair and got a full day before my hair started to look oily. The fig and cherry smells amazing, so if you don't like it, you can always use the shampoo as a body wash. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As for the Pro Vitamin volumising, I don't think I've ever been given so many 'oh my god, your hair is so shiney' compliments in all my days as when I use it! Which is lovely. Now, granted, I do have dyed black hair, so it is likely to have a bit of shine, but still.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm also a fan of their dry shampoo. Not only is it cheap with a range of fragrances and colours but it's good stuff too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<h4>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lush</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, you can't go wrong with <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/">Lush</a>. Most of their products are vegan and all are vegetarian.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm currently using one of their shampoo bars. Granted their price point is a good deal higher than Superdrug, but in fairness their stuff does last a good long while. Their hair care is also free from any nasties such as silicones, parabens and sulfates, and as a lot of folks find these very irritating it's good to know you can get cosmetics free from these all in one place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The shampoo bar I'm using is a sea salt affair for hair that gets oily quickly called <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/product/340/Seanik-Solid-Shampoo-Bar">Seanik</a>. This is the second time I've bought it and I can get a full day out of my hair, so I like it. The only pain in the arse is trying to get that wee bloody tin I got for it open with wet hands!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Co-op</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Co-op is another you just can't go wrong with if you're a fan of cruelty free. Much like the Superdrug they're Leaping Bunny approved and very few of their own buy products have contain animal byproducts and it's clearly marked on their packaging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't think I've used their hair care yet (I've used so many my brain sometimes turns to mush), but they do have a <a href="http://www.co-operativepharmacy.co.uk/Co-operative-Tea-Tree-Mint-Fragranced-Shampoo-300ml/id-603217">tea tree shampoo</a>, and as tea tree is good for fine hair that gets oily quickly, I'll def be giving it a bash at some point. Price point wise you can expect to pay just over £1 for shampoo and the same again for conditioner, which is pretty damn reasonable. </span></div>

<h4>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Asda</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've read a lot of bitching on forums about Asda products along the lines of 'it said it was vegan, but when I read the ingredients it had beeswax in. OMG, sob, sob'. Now, this is because Asda DO NOT mark their products vegan, they mark them vegetarian. To be fair vegans, that has knocked most of the negative ingredients off the list, so it shouldn't be too hard to work out the ones that actually are vegan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Price point wise, Adsa has 'V' marked shampoos and conditioners from as little as 22p, so if you're on a tight budget or have a family, these are the guys for you. Some of the bottles are MASSIVE as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have used Asda hair care, but found it a little too heavy for my fine, limp hair, although I have only tried one shampoo and one conditioner so far.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Holland and Barrett</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/categories.asp?cid=59&searchterm=shampoo&rdcnt=1">Holland and Barrett</a>, your local friendly health shop chain, has a whole host of cruelty free cosmetic products. I think a lot of people don't realise this as they think of it as a health 'food' store. They carry the Dr.organic range which is vegan and free from sulphates, parabens and artificial colours, so another good one for those with sensitive scalps. The price point is just below 6 bucks each for a shampoo & conditioner, but Holland and Barrett often do buy one get one half price and penny sales, so you can still get a bargain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've used the <a href="http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=2568&cpid=2846&cid=59">Dr.organic rose otto volumising shampoo</a> and conditioner. This was maybe a wee bit too heavy for my hair, but not too bad. Again, as it smells of amazing rosey goodness, so if you don't like it as a shampoo you can use it as a body wash!</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wholefoods</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/giffnock">Wholefoods</a> is another chain of stores that offers a range of cruelty free cosmetics and toiletries. They have the likes of <a href="http://www.weleda.co.uk/search?q=shampoo&searchsubmit=Search">Weleda</a> who are cruelty free and offer a lot of <a href="http://www.weleda.co.uk/page/specialrequirements">vegan and vegetarian options</a> and everything they do is free of any nasty chemicals so, again, another good one for you sensitive types.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't used any of the toiletries from Wholefoods as yet (& there's way more besides Weleda), but know folk who use Weleda skin care and love it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Price wise....well, Wholefoods ain't cheap I'm afraid.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He was a hairdresser with a chemistry background (weird, right?) who decided to make his own hair friendly range. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used his shampoo many, many years ago, so can't really make any fair comment on it. It used to be available in Boots, but I can only see it <a href="http://www.danielfield.com/">online </a>just now.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ion is another of my favorites. It's available in </span><a href="http://www.sallyexpress.com/ion/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sally (Salon Services)</a><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> as it's a 'professional' product. I used their </span><a href="http://www.sallyexpress.com/vitalising-thickening-shampoo/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vitalising Thickening shampoo</a><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and not only did I get a full day of fresh, clean hair from it, but boy, did it give my hair volume! I think it's wise to use a conditioner each time you wash with this one though.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For some reason you it only tells you what's vegan (which is most of it) <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-SA-Site/default/Search-Show?prefn1=brand&prefv1=ION&brandLandingPage=true">on Sally's US site</a>. It's in the box below each product description in the 'more details' section.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a 'professional' product they price point is a it higher, but on a par with Lush. Luckily there are Sally stores everywhere, but you may only find this in the larger stores.</span></div>

<h4>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tara Smith</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tara Smith is another brand I used years and years ago when it was available in Tesco. I think it I found the shampoo I used a wee bit too heavy for my shitty fine hair, but it'd be unfair to say that with any certainty. The packaging has changed a lot since then and it looks fucking awesome! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's another organic, free from nasties hair care range and, lets face it, <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/About-Tara-Smith-Tara-Smith-Hair-Care-Beauty/b/2050620031">Tara Smith</a> seems just lovely!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/Tara-Smith-Hair-Care-Beauty/b/1837472031">Marks and Spencer</a> (who are Leaping Bunny approved, by the way) now sell a plethora of <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/Tara-Smith-Hair-Care-Beauty/b/1837472031">Tara Smith products!</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Price wise, again, it's similar to Lush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<u><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Styling</span></u></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OK, this is pretty much the same as what you see above. All of those brands also offer styling products. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Superdrug have a fair few own brand ranges, all with different names, so keep a keen eye out when you peruse their shelves. I use a heat styling cream and volumizing dry shampoo from their 'This One' range and they're just dandy....& watch out for those special offers too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Osmo are another 'professional' hair brand to be found in Sally. They're cruelty free and I found on the lovely '<a href="http://alexbeautycorner.blogspot.co.uk/">Vegan Beauty Blog</a>' a list of their products that ARE NOT vegan...and it's a pretty short list <a href="http://alexbeautycorner.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/osmo-berber-oil-heavenly.html">HERE</a></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My hair is currently black. Now, when I die my hair black I want it as dark as it can be, blackety, black, black. Think of that scene in Father Ted where Ted's describing how preist socks are the blackest of black...well thats how black I want my hair!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For a while now I've been using Superdrugs <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/superdrug/superdrug-vibrance-darkest-black-2/invt/275285&bklist=">Vibrance Darkest Black 2 </a>and I fucking love it!! It's also pretty cheap and, as you'd expect with <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/">Superdrug </a>own buy, and sometimes on special offer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They offer a few different ranges of colourants, including a 24 washes one, but watch out vegans, as some of them have beeswax and are only vegetarian.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Smart Beauty</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This brand is a wee hidden gem, so it is. They have a fantastic range of hair colour products all cruelty free and vegan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, apart from black my other 'signature' colour is a deep bright red. Whenever I decide it's time for red locks I reach for <a href="http://www.smartbeauty.eu/">Smart Beauty</a>. They have fucking coloured bleach!! How good is that?!! Now, like I say, I like a deep, rich red in my hair, so I still use a crazy colour over the top, but what a difference that coloured bleach makes. I remember when I went to the 2007 IMATS in London, the hard water there actually stripper all of the temp colour from my hair & you could really see the difference between the lower sections of hair I did with standard bleach and the hair with the Smart Beauty red stuff.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They offer both permanent and non hair colours ranging from bright as fuck unnatural affairs (think bright red, pink, blue...) to more natural shades. Highlights, bleach, ombre, full head<a href="http://www.smartbeauty.eu/hair-colouring-styles/permanent-hair-dye"> permanent dyes</a> and crazy colours and pastels <a href="http://www.smartbeauty.eu/hair-colouring-styles/semi-permanent-hair-dye">semis</a>...what more could you want? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I put a wee blonde streak at the front of my hair and use their <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/hair-colourants/smart-beauty-pastel-silver-moon/invt/590050&bklist=">Silver Moon</a> pastel dye over it and it's super white. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can buy some of their range in <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/search?q=smart+beauty+hair&searchsubmit=Search">Superdrug </a>and, even better, Saver stores! The rest is available <a href="http://www.smartbeauty.eu/">online</a>. They're also really cheap, with the most I've ever paid being £5, & they last for ages. I love them! I highly recommend Smart Beauty dies, they're fantastic.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Directions</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With the rise of super trendy brands like Bleach London it's easy to forget the classics. And if ever there was a classic it's <a href="http://www.lariche.co.uk/directions-hair-colour">Directions hair dyes.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.directionshairdye.co.uk/">Cruelty free and vegan</a>, Directions was the first dye I used back in the mid-90's. I've heard it slagged rotten over the years, but I always found it to be a good friend. It has a thorough range of semi-permanent crazy colour hair dyes, I have used many of them, the most common being the trusty ol' Pillarbox Red...I loves it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, it's as cheap as chips at around £3 a tub which lasts ages. You'll normally find it in your local friendly goth store as well as <a href="http://www.directionshairdye.co.uk/">online</a>.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Manic Panic</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another classic. <a href="http://www.manicpanic.com/dyepage1.html">Tish and Snooky's Manic Panic</a> is a brand that harks back to the 80's, offering all manner or rainbow coloured cosmetics when they were a bit of a rarity for a long time. They have always been cruelty free and vegetarian, although the whole brand is now vegan. It was a bit of a bitch to get hold of over the years, coming and going from the goth shops but, when I could, I used their Vampire Red dye. It's a damn sight more expensive than Directions, but comes in a larger tub and lasts ages.....but it's a bitch to get off the bathroom tiles!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's available online through the likes Ebay and Amazon and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">now in Glasgow through Lady Bon's favorite <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Vegaluscious-Cosmetics/159686274190257?ref=ts&fref=ts">Miss Vegalusious</a>.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As before, I don't think there's any shops stocking this just now, but the dyes are available <a href="http://www.danielfield.com/template/catalog/index.php/natural-lights-c-31">online</a>. There colour range is all natural shades, so a good one to try if you're not into super bright hair or if you're only looking to cover greys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Price wise you're looking at £6.99, which is no bad.</span></div>

Among them is <a href="http://www.naturtintusa.com/naturtint-hair-color-shampoo-conditioner.php">Naturtint Hair Colour</a>. Now, so far, I haven't used this brand, but it does offer a vegan friendly colour range that is also free from all the nasties that those with sensitive scalps try to avoid....and with hair dye, that's pretty hard! All that and it's eco-friendly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At £9.99 it's certainly pricier than the others, but it's a godsend if you have sensitive skin and want to dye your hair, so a tenner ain't to bad, eh?</span></div>

It's normally a time when people reflect on the year gone by and make a new resolutions.....but my memories too bad for that and I don't make promises I can't keep. So, I'm going to attempt to look to the year ahead & maybe lay out some plans. Some of which I may even keep too!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Firstly, move house....maybe.</u></span></h4>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Big changes are afoot & moving to a new homestead is among them. I've been in the city centre for 10 years and, as much as I love my flat, it's time for change. The fantastic summer we had last year made me pine horribly for a garden...I'll probably do what I always do in the nice weather and admire it from indoors & never expose my alabaster skin to it, but it's nice to have the option, y'know?! Also, a whole room to work from! A whole space that's dedicated to making stuffs that doesn't encroach & then take over and destroy the rest of the living space...I can almost taste it! Think of the possibilities, how much more creative and productive I can be....oh, baby, am I excited at that thought. Less so at the automatic assumption that the boy & I will produce offspring, but you never know, eh....</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In relation to the above, I can now expand on the amount and size of furniture I customise. Yes I am excited about this, think of the possibilities! My wee mind is awash with ideas, but don't expect to see any of them for the first few months of the year, cos it's gonna be a busy one!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And not to fret if your into the wee disfigured figurines, they'll still be plenty of those in the mix...</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, it's fair to say my blogging is anything but regular. It's sketchy at best, but please forgive me, I have dead good reasons, honest!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Firstly, my flat is too big of a middin (tip) to take any kind of decent picture to do regular outfit posts. I work from here & it's jam packed as a result, but hopefully the big move ahead will remedy this. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm also pretty busy a lot of the time making stuff and attempting to go to the gym as well as being very absent minded, but I shall attempt to remedy this & bring more of my random rants, reviews & nonsensical chat for no apparent reason.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am a big animal lover, always have been. I have always been vehemently anti-fur, but in the past wee while I've been less vocal about it than in the past. Not sure why. The recent images of Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora are massively dis-heartening & just lend to thoughtless consumerism in my opinion. So if they're gonna wear it, folks like me are gonna combat it where we can!! Although I'll try not to make the picture I post too graphic......try.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Holding in a good rant poisons the soul, so time to let it out!</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I qualified as a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/makeup.lynne?fref=ts">make-up artist</a> in 2007 & it's safe to say that I really love it....colouring in faces is never a bad thing. But of late I feel I've neglected it in favour of crafting. In the coming year I will be the maid of honor at my best friends wedding, so that shall be the first task on my agenda....wedding make-up ago-go. I'll also be doing my best to get back into photo shoots as I always really enjoy them and have had the privilege of working with some cracking photographers and models who really make you feel like part of the overall creative process. </span><br />

There's no better way of testing out and practising using a product than on your own face, but sitting making things or going to the gym don't lend themselves to putting on make-up much, do they? Time to get out more Lady Bon! I may have to get ma ass a part time job I think....</span><br />

Well, yesterday, I discovered the greatest cosmetics shop EVER!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm a big animal lover, so cruelty free cosmetics is something that's close to my heart. If you've ever read my blog before you'll no doubt have seen my previous entries about the mad make-up clearout I had at the beginning of the year (read <a href="http://tattybon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-great-make-up-purge-of.html">here </a>& <a href="http://tattybon.blogspot.co.uk/2013_02_01_archive.html">here</a>). This was mainly due to renewed cosmetic research on my part & a reaction to the amount of formally cruelty free brands <a href="http://greenbeautyteam.com/features/led-by-beauty/chinas-demand-for-animal-testing-in-cosmetics-brands-that-are-giving-in/">entering the Chinese market</a>, where animal testing is mandatory. Although there are a significant amount of brands now on my blacklist, I was heart warmed to find a good amount of ethical brands, many of whom were not only cruelty free but also vegan or vegetarian as well as <a href="http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/cat/vegan-cosmetics-brushes">websites</a> who specifically stocked such brands. Now, as great as this is, there's always that wee bug bear we all have to deal with in this modern age shopping; it was almost ALL online.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a bit of online shopping as much as the next guy, you can hardly wave a shitty stick at something that offers you so much choice & value for money without you even having to lift your arse off the couch! But there are certain things it can be handy to see first hand, & make-up shades are using among them. So my friends, you can imagine my sheer joy when moseying down Shawlands cross, happily raiding the charity shops, when something caught my eye and had my head spinning exorcist style!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And what was this near neck breaking wonder? It was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Vegaluscious-Cosmetics/159686274190257">Miss Vegaluscious Cosmetics</a>, that's what it was!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now, turns out I already 'liked' the </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Vegaluscious-Cosmetics/159686274190257?fref=ts" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Miss Vegaluscious Cosmetics</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> via the Tatty Bon Facebook. But damn, if I don't 'like' so many pages on there it just slipped passed me....for which I am kicking myself! This little wonder on Kilmarnock Rd, on Shawlands Cross, is a home to ALL CRUELTY FREE VEGAN & VEGETARIAN MAKE-UP!!! Arrrrgh, how excited was I. I swear, I had to sit down. I actually can not say enough good things about this place.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Firstly, all my Glasgow make-up loving lovelies, you should probably know that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Vegaluscious-Cosmetics/159686274190257?fref=ts">Miss Vegaluscious</a> stocks <a href="http://limecrime.com/">LIME CRIME</a>! That's right, an actual physical shop where you can get your velvetine fix! This brand are making big waves in the lippy world (well, that's what Instagram says anyway), & although I was recently informed that their owner is apparently a nutter who, apparently, lied about their cosmetics being vegan in the past, the lovely lady in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Vegaluscious-Cosmetics/159686274190257?fref=ts">Miss Vegaluscious</a> assured me that what they stock is definitely carmine free! Now, the next thing you should know, is that Lime Crime is just the tip of the iceberg! </span><br />

</div>
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They have sooooo many brands in there. Brands that I have only ever been aware of being online before (in the UK anyway) such as <a href="http://www.sugarpillshop.com/">Sugarpill</a>, <a href="http://www.yabycosmetics.com/">Yaby </a>and <a href="http://occmakeup.com/">OCC </a>(get obsessed by their Lip Tars now!) as well as firm favorites like <a href="http://www.bwcshop.com/">Beauty Without Cruelty</a> and <a href="http://www.barrym.com/">Barry M</a>. There were also many brands, despite all my research, I either previously hadn't heard of, or was unaware that carried vegan/vegi products amongst their range....brands I am now dying to try! Everything you could possibly need for your make-up kit is in there. Liquid foundations, mineral make-up, pan shadows, loose pigments, lip glosses, lipsticks, everything, just....everything! & know how <a href="http://manicpanic.com/dyepage1.html">Manic Panic hair dye</a> is now a complete pain in the arse to get hold of now? Well, they have that too!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh & the brushes, did I mention the brushes?! A whole, rather large, section of beautiful, soft synthetic make-up brushes. Eco-tools, Real Techniques...the list goes on...... I have died and gone to make-up heaven! And this is a heaven where, if you spend £30 or more you get a 20% DISCOUNT!! I think this is especially good as you normally only get a discount like that if your a working make-up artist.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was in there for ages yesterday, gabbing away to the owner (I was too excited to even remember to get her name) and she was really lovely. So friendly and well informed. On top of the fact that they have vegi friendly beauty they also hold a fair few brands that are Halal approved. From researching for my previous cruelty free posts I discovered just how hard a thing to get hold of that is. Make-up may contain no animal by products, but there is an issue with the alcohol used in a lot of products. So if you were struggling with this before, you won't be now!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This wee shop just has so much going on. Everything I have mentioned may be glorious, but if that ain't enough for you there's also manicuring, laser hair removal and threading.....& if you've never had your eyebrows threaded before, do it, you'll never get a better shape! They even offer wee pamper sessions for the bairns (aged 4-11 years) with foot spas and chocolate facials.....mmmm.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I may have refrained from chocolate fascial yesterday, but not from a few fabulous purchases.....I'm only human after all. Lucky girl that I am, I had my wee brother with me (patient wee soul that he is) & he hadn't got me a Christmas present yet. Well, we put that dead to rights! So I moseyed off, rather large grin on my face, with a Lime Crime <a href="http://limecrime.com/lips/velvetines-37.html">Pink Velvet Velvetine</a>, a <a href="http://www.bwcshop.com/face/">Beauty Without Cruelty foundation</a> and <a href="http://www.bwcshop.com/bwc-mascaras/">mascara </a>and lovely wee blender brush. </span></span><br />

OK, so I know I haven't been about for a while, but you know what, who cares, Christmas is a-coming!</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">So what, pray tell, is there to get up to in the run up to Jesus' birthday in the fair ol' city of Glasgow.... while you're getting your Christmas shopping done of course.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Well, here's a wee run down to get you started .</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>

<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Abandon Ship Apparel Christmas party</span></h4>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">So, those lovely folks at Glasgow based brand <a href="http://www.abandonshipapparel.com/">Abandon Ship Apparel</a> have opened up in their home town. They've got a wee sneaky pop-up shop in <a href="http://www.princessquare.co.uk/">Princes' Square</a> (ground floor, entrances on Buchanan St or just off Queen St) & it's just spiffy. I mean, any shop that finds itself in Princes' Sq that sells pants that say 'fuck you buddy' has my thumbs up any day!! On top of that you'll find all the classic gear you'd expect to find from the Abandon Ship boys, Deathtoopers et al, as well as a few new pieces in there.....here come the Christmas jumpers!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">This December 13th they'll be having an in-store Christmas party. So get you mingingest, madest Chrimbo jumper & get your arse down there....you won't regret it!</span></div>

<h4>
<span style="color: red;">Christmas outfit fun the vintage way</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">I'm a big fan of vintage, it's no secret. Vintage ornaments, vintage pictures, vintage everything! But is there anything better than a great vintage dress? I think not. We all love Topshop & Primark, but who wants to turn up to the Christmas party wearing the same dress as their work buddy? The answer should be 'no one'!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">My personal favorite Glasgow shop is, of course, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheCityRetro?fref=ts">the City Retro</a> on King St (just behind the Trongate). I've had many an epic wee vintage number from there, including my greatest 50's party dress ever! Right now it is chocked full of sequins and glam that's make you the bell of any Christmas party. Fact. All that on top of the usual vintage goodness they have, what's not to love...</span></div>

<h4>
<span style="color: red;">Get along too Granny would be Proud</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Everyone that knows that Glasgow is a pretty crafty place.....well, they should. A grand old selection of what's going on can be found at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GrannyProud?ref=ts&fref=ts">Granny would be Proud fairs.</a> What better way to your Christmas shopping done & support the little guy that this? Granny takes place in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hillheadbookclub?fref=ts">Hillhead Bookclub</a>, just off Byers Rd, every second Sunday but will be on every Sunday in the run up to Christmas. Each fair has 18-20 stalls....that's a lot of crafty goodness to choose from. There's handmade jewellery, hand knitted hats and geeky toys, Christmas decorations, vintage clothes, hand made cushions and homeware....tones and tones.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Add that to the warm Granny atmosphere & the fact that you can have a wee sneaky mojito while you browse & you've got the perfect little Sunday out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: small;">So, everyone wants to look their best at Christmas right? Folks out buying themselves new outfits instead of getting presents (it's not selfish, it's just common sense, right?), investing in fake eyelashes they know fine well they can't apply....you know the drill.</span></div>
<h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, when getting yourself up to your Christmas standard get down to Parnie St. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Peaches-Wax-and-Beauty-Bar/279192208781287?fref=ts">Peaches Wax bar</a> is one of the newest additions to Glasgow Cross area.

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mascara. I love it. It's definately an obsession of mine, along with foundations. I have bought tones of them over the years, I don't know what it is, I just love 'em!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The criteria for a good mascara for me is; it should be affordable (you are suppose to replace it ever couple of months after all), it should be a good deep black, the brush should be nice, the wand should be long (you'll know what I mean if you ever tried the Lush mascara....what it that bloody wand all about?!), it should last a decent amount of time and it should never, EVER clog your eyelashes.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, while wondering around Superdrug one fine day I found myself perusing my mascara obession in front of the <a href="http://sleekmakeup.com/">Sleek</a> make-up stand.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know what? I really like <a href="http://sleekmakeup.com/">Sleek</a> make-up. It's <a href="http://www.peta.org/living/beauty-and-personal-care/companies/search.aspx?Testing=0">cruelty free</a>, it's VERY affordable, the pigmentation of it's products is great, it has lovely colour range in most of its products and they even mark what products are vegetarian ans vegan on their website (under ingredients)....what sweethearts. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">So it's little wonder I found myself buying a mascara from them to add to my ever growing selection of Sleek purchases. So it is with a heavy heart that I have this to say; this mascara is shite!</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The packaging is very pretty, it's in a hot pink tube and totally attracts your eye while you peruse their stand. It also makes it very easy to find in amoung all the eye pencils, primers and potions you'll probably keep it amoungst. The actual mascara itself is also very, very black.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);"><br /></span>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The consistency of the liquid is a real problem. It's more of a paste it's so thick. The brush bristles are very short so it can be hard to get rid of build up on the brush, even when you wipe it along the side as you pull the brush out, so it can lead to your eyelashes clumping. </span></div>

<h4>
The Ugly.</h4>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It wears terribly! I wore it during the day with no eyeshadow, only foundation and powder on my lids as well as on a night put with eyeshadow and liner on. On both occassions i had that nasty under eye shadow effect you get when mascara strays from your lashes onto your skin. Not little flakes, but an actual smudge effect. My lashes are long but fine so they do touch my upper lids and so I ended up with the nasty semi-circle effect on my upper lids....like two sets of brows. Not good, not good at all.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think it's unrealistic to expect a mascara to last the full day into evening with out some ware (no matter what the price, I've had a few big brand ones at the £15 mark that were rotten) but I only had this on a couple of hours before you could really see it flag. It was just an all over unflattering look and dissapointment.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But fear not friends. Like I said, <a href="http://sleekmakeup.com/">Sleek </a>make-up is on the wholeusally pretty good. To be honest this has contributed to such huge dissapointment and maybe lead to to judge it more harshly.</span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'd still recommend y'all take a look at Sleek if you haven't tried it before.....really looking forward to trying the <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/lips/matteme">Matte Me</a> and the <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/lips/pout-paint">Pout Paints</a> are a total treat! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been to London to see the Queen.....'</span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, not exactly, but I have been away for a while. So where have I been? I hear you ask, weary traveller.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, I've been a busy little bee actually. The last time I blogged was not long before the <a href="http://www.scottishtattooconvention.net/">Scottish Tattoo Convention </a>in Edinburgh. It was the 2nd year I've had a stall there so was up to my ears in it getting as much made as possible for the lovely folks that attend. Some of it just to put a smile of their faces.....I do enjoy a good chuckle with my customers. Of all the conventions I've attended, or had a stall at, Edinburgh is by far my favorite. The Corn Exchange is a really beautiful building with lots of character, the organisers actually come round to say hi and the patrons are always excellent! It gets a very mixed crowd and I always enjoy the random chat I get from the folks that come up to my stall....& it doesn't hurt that the venue is right next to a massive Asda. Grub ahoy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've also been busy being a creative genius (as always, mwha). <a href="http://tattybon.bigcartel.com/category/taxidermy">Taxidermy?</a> jewellery has been my obsession over the last few months. I've been doing taxidermy for toys and human tooth jewellery (mold from a <a href="http://tattybon.bigcartel.com/product/brass-finish-human-tooth-necklace">moler </a>and actual human teeth for a custom request), but I've really moved forward with using <a href="http://tattybon.bigcartel.com/product/real-bee-glitter-ring">insects</a>, especially <a href="http://tattybon.bigcartel.com/product/real-moth-wing-ring">moths </a>and <a href="http://tattybon.bigcartel.com/product/real-butterfly-black-wing-necklace">butterflies</a>. All the insects I use have lived out their normal lives, I would NEVER harm a wee beastie, they're our pals y'know. I have even found a supplier who is a conservationist and sells on the insects once they die rather than dispose of them and the funds go back into conservation! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So far it's proved rather popular, they went down a storm at the <a href="http://www.scottishtattooconvention.net/">Tattoo Convention</a>, and the moths seem an especial favorite.....I'm rather proud of them :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's something very satisfying taking something that was once fabulous but has since seen betters days and breathing new life into it. I'm in the midst of creating an Alice in Wonderland dressing table as well as some spiffy Star Wars furniture. And in the taxidermy tradition (well, it will be once I've been doing it a bit longer) I've been creating some mini stag head trophies for all your jewellery hanging needs...watch this space for more goodies!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But BEST OF ALL Tatty Bon has started its foray into the world of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evhOTWyoUkk">YouTube</a>. Some fantabulous ladies, the best web designer going and a fantastic hair designer got together to make a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evhOTWyoUkk">wee video</a>. Everyone that isn't dead inside loves the pin-up ladies, so where better to draw inspiration I asks ya?! Was delighted with the end result, everyone was fantastic and it was a really enjoyable experience. My web designer Andy (have I mentioned he's awesome?) outdid himself with the editing. He's redesigning my <a href="http://tattybon.co.uk/">website </a>as we speak, so I'm pretty excited to see that too.....eep!</span></div>

<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Righto. I did a rather lengthy blog on how I was making sure all of my make-up kit was vegetarian and vegan (read the full blog <a href="http://tattybon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-great-make-up-purge-of.html#comment-form">here</a>). This isn't something I imagine I'll ever really stop looking at as these things change all the time, and I've updated the lists I made already.</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>This is an updated list of cruelty free make-up that is also suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It's a pretty long list and it's nice to see cosmetics companies sitting up and taking notice of concerned consumers & not sacrificing their previous ethics for a quick buck! It's also good to see as it also makes life much easier on those looking for halal make-up. </b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lime Crime are ever expanding and the have a lot of loyal fans, not least of all due to their Velvatine lip colours. They have claimed to be cruelty free and marked their products vegan for a long time, they can even be found in the vegan section of Cocktail Cosmetics (although this will soon cease to be the case as they have pulled distribution and will only be able to be bought direct from their own site). But there is SOOOOO MUCH information now out there saying Lime Crime is are indeed NOT vegan as well as alluding to all sorts of shady shenanigans. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Claims that they have bought cosmetics wholesale and simply changed the packaging, claims that they have threatened to sue bloggers for simply giving their products a bad review, claims that they're ripping off other brands....the list continues. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is some pretty nasty and personal stuff out there, most of it targeted directly at Lime Crime founder Xenia (aka Doe Deere) and quite unnecessary. However one blog which I believe to be reliable on this matter is </span><a href="http://ohdeardoedeere.tumblr.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh Dear Doe Deere</a><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. The writer of this, Nicola, has done her research!! This is one gal who knows whats she's taking about and strives to information unlike some of the other sites I've seen on the matter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(Though the only high st store I have seen LC in is Miss Vegalusious, I still thought it still worth noting here).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Urban Decay</u></b></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - Urban Decay were once champions of the cruelty free and, bar one hick-up with the Vegan Eye Pallet, were much loved by followers of cruelty free. They had good products in a great range of colours and vegan items were clearly marked. Unfortunately in 2012 they were bought over by notorious animal testers L'Oreal. L'Oreal then decided to take them into China where animal testing is compulsory, carried out by the Chinese government. After a rather fierce consumer backlash they then turned on their heels and announced that they would no longer be entering the Chinese market.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While that is great news, they are still owned by animal testing giant L'Oreal. There are two schools of though on weather to still buy from companies like Urban Decay; those who feel that by purchasing their products that they are sending a message to companies like L'Oreal that they should change their ways as consumers want to shop 'cruelty free' and will not purchase from the mother company. And then there are those who will now consider Urban Decay to no longer be cruelty free until L'Oreal, and all companies under their umbrella, change their ways. I am of the latter, I want no part of them, regardless of their retaining their PETA and Leaping Bunny symbols.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Body Shop</u></b></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - This one breaks my heart. Again, pioneers of cruelty free (with all products vegetarian) and sending out the ethical message well before it was 'trendy', they were bought over by L'Oreal in 2006. They have never tried to take then into China, but other than that the above information applies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">Liz Earle</span></u></b><span style="color: #b45f06;"> - Almost the same again. All vegetarian products and they have maintained their Leaping Bunny status, but are owned by Avon. Avon are another one who denounced their cruelty free ways and decided China was the way to go (although they have not taken Liz Earle with them).</span></span></div>

Good news, I am an auntie once more. And how does one greet the newest member of the clan into the world? Why, by exposing her to some 40's inspired style, of course.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My new little niece was born this week, and she's a wee beaut. Ginger hair, eyelashes like a camel and big pouty lips....it's just a shame she won't know just how awesome this is until she's about 19 and realises that these things make her a babe!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I considered it my civic duty to impose my love of vintage clothes and style on her right out the gate. I'll never be an straight forward vintage wearing gal, I'll always have my own twist on it, and this is how I rolled..</span>..</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of my fav decades, style and film wise, is the 40's. None of this is actually that old, but definitely inspired. I love high waist skirts, but can't normally get away with high waist trousers and NEVER shorts, I just don't have the right shape. These wool Primark numbers are the only high waist trousers I've had that looked any good. Sadly a wee bit big now, hence the studded belt.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy pay weekend. I bet your all totally delighted to exhale now that the brutal festive aftermath that is January is coming to an end. Think we've all spent the last month thinking of nothing but ourselves; how skint we are, how we really want pennies so that we can treat ourselves to a new lipstick or that ridiculously overpriced dress in Topshop that '<i>insert generic fashionesta celebrity name here</i>' was wearing in the fashion mags last week. We are a selfish bunch us lot, none more than when we're skinto.</span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But you know who's awesome? <a href="http://www.beewaits.com/2013/01/one-month-one-dress-personal-challenge.html">Bee Waits</a> and <a href="http://honeypopkisses.blogspot.co.uk/">Honey Pop</a>, that's who! These two lovely lassies are taking it upon themselves to raise as much money as they can for charity over the next month, and they're using a rather unique avenue to raise these funds: fashion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They will be wearing one dress for one month (excluding at the gym of course, and they're allowed 2 dresses for washing purposes) making it look different every day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some run, some fast others sit in a bath of baked beans for days (well, they did in the 80's at least), but these gals are doing it using something they enjoy and others will enjoy looking at......& that's close to most bloggers hearts, right?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.beewaits.com/">Bee Waits</a> is a talented little minx. She's one of the team behind award winning Events team '<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/In-the-Company-of-Wolves/237617222936455?fref=ts">In the Company of Wolves</a>' and your probably already aware of her rather excellent blog '<a href="http://www.beewaits.com/">Bee Waits for No One</a>'. In the past she has helped organised some of Glasgow's finest and most innovative fashion shows with all funds raised going to<a href="http://www.rapecrisisscotland.org.uk/"> Rape Crisis Scotland</a> and <a href="http://www.glasgowwomensaid.org.uk/">Glasgow's Women's Aid</a>, and last year she ran a 10k to in the name of the former. Weather you are aware of it or not, you probably know woman who have been in need of these charities, or those like them. Both are excellent causes and more than worthy of donation.

Again.<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Please note: the company lists on this blog have been </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">updated as of OCTOBER 2015</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">)</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh 2013, you are upon us, and at this time of year we all feel the need to purge. In my case it was with my make-up and I went, well......NUTS! The endeavor to have a vegan make-up kit hath begun.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been a make-up artist since I graduated in 2007. Anyone who has seen my kit knows that I own ALL the make-up...all of it. I've actually had pangs of guilt due to owning stuff that I've barely even looked at much less used! But I needn't worry about that any more....cos I've hardly anything left!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><u>In the beginning...</u></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm a pretty militant kinda chick. I'm vegetarian and don't cheat. I don't wear leather, fur (it doesn't matter that it's vintage!), silk or pearls. If your gonna do it, do it right. So I thought that my kit was pretty much veggie friendly and cruelty free......oh, how wrong I was. I am in actual awe at my naivety! Seriously, I need a slap on the wrist.....I will now continue writing with red, slapped wrists.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">It's been a while since I really looked into ingredients and the information available has dramatically increased. I know the names of a lot of little nasties that find their way into make-up, but, again, I was a complete clown. Such things as tallow and cochineal . Well now cochineal is known as carmine. Carmine is essentially crusted up dead beasties, they are boiled and mashed up, mainly, for the blood red colour. It then goes into lipsticks and pressed powders as well as many other things (I found it in a cake eyeliner).....mmm, smearing dead insects all over your lips for a red pout. </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">Charming.</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Tallow is the goop left over in a slaughter house, y'know, bones, fats....gunk really. Well, so is stearate. And it's fecking everywhere! Zinc stearate, magnesium stearate, steric acid...it goes on. Now on the plus side sterate can be of animal or vegetable origin. On the downside it's most commonly animal when it comes to cosmetics and there's no way of knowing unless it states otherwise (such as with </span><a href="http://uk.lizearle.com/">Liz Earle</a><span style="color: #b45f06;">, who products have sterate, but no animal byproducts) . </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I, for one, do not relish the thought of smearing this over my face, nor anyone else's. And so began the mission to make my kit veggie, but mostly vegan. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been talking about making my make-up kit vegan for a while, & I'd bought some handmade, organic, vegan make-up (you can find lots on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?q=vegan+make-up&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US">Etsy</a> and can purchase small samples to try it out). But my research lead to me searching out vegan make-up in general, vegan brands, individual products from other companies and what I need to get rid of. Which was most of it. The reason being that it can be hard to get information on the ingredients in the majority of make-up, which is kinda sad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><u>Popular misconceptions.</u> </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Firstly; that </span>MAC<span style="color: #b45f06;"> products are all suitable for vegetarians. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They most certainly are NOT. They contain a fair amount of carmine, waxes and stearate. I think this is some kind of urban myth lead to the impression that they were veggie friendly, probably born from the ethos they started out with and their reputation as a cruelty free company. Of course none of this matters now as they were taken over by Estee Lauder some years ago, and will be going into the China, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2181468/Big-beauty-brands-dropping-cruelty-free-animal-testing-policies-sell-products-China.html">where animal testing is required by law</a>, and the whole lot are loosing their previous cruelty status.....sad days indeed.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The status of my pre-existing MAC make-up is in suspense while I wait on them getting back to me with a vegan list.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH9LcevbJpnU-qvFOI6sjgThsCxrGAXovegOm_hSb3LMlN-eufapXO7li18qvdHj8db01-kBjoYBdYrCUlqJmNbayTA7Y_qzbLifA1U5j7zhHzZrYLNG62cmZ60qZSignrLDrKwP38pVI/s1600/mac.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH9LcevbJpnU-qvFOI6sjgThsCxrGAXovegOm_hSb3LMlN-eufapXO7li18qvdHj8db01-kBjoYBdYrCUlqJmNbayTA7Y_qzbLifA1U5j7zhHzZrYLNG62cmZ60qZSignrLDrKwP38pVI/s1600/mac.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dear MAC. You know spill blood for beauty and you SUCK!</span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Secondly; that STARGAZER products are all vegan or veggie.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nope, wrong again. This 'alternative' brand, once renowned for it's affordable vegan safe cosmetics stopped bothering to make it's products vegan or veggie a couple of years back. Who knows why; maybe alternative just isn't alternative anymore, it's too main stream, maybe they just got lazy. Either way, they ain't sayin'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thirdly; All the major cosmetic companies will be safe (in cruelty free terms) once the new EU laws on animal testing come into effect later this year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Afraid not. As already mentioned, LOTS of companies are going into the Chinese market for the money and will be conducting animal experiments as a result. Even those who held the <a href="http://www.gocrueltyfree.org/shopper">BUVA </a>leaping bunny status and used their cruelty free ways to market their products have decided to pack it in. It's incredible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Former stalwarts of the cruelty free world such as the Body Shop and Urban Decay are now owned by L'Oreal. Both offer vegan products (all of the Body Shops are veggie) and have been a saving grace for those who buy animal free, cruelty free products, especially on the high st. But L'Oreal are notorious animal testers, so that's both these companies out the game. Same with companies owned by the aforementioned Estee Lauder. They own MAC, Bobby Brown, Smash Box, L'Occtaine and a whole lot of others.....EU be dammed, eh! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Indeed there is. There's still a TON of companies who are both cruelty free and have a wide range of not only cruelty free but vegan products too....yippee!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its worth noting that often, when looking online, when a company has a UK site that the lists of vegan/veggie suitability can actually be found on their .com or US sites. It's always worth having a look.</span></div>

If you feel like slinging me a wee sneaky 5er to help me re-build my now sparse make-up collection, feel free.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As brutal as it was to throw so much away, it was also pretty liberating. I now feel that I am going to utilise my entire kit rather than just having a shit ton of stuff that won't see the end of my make-up brush before it goes out of date.....so it seems I am a make-up hording queen no more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>So, Christmas has past. It was a bad one by no means, but I have to admit to being pretty skint this year. </b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>So what does a crafty bitch do when it comes to that gift giving time of year? Well, make things of course.</b></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>So it got me thinking. It's not like we won't have any more pressies to buy throughout the year.... birthdays, mothers day, fathers day, new babies, anniversaries...the list goes on.</b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>And I, for one, am unlikely to be coming into my fortune any time soon and I doubt most of yous won't be either. So I thought I share some of the stuffs I've made pals this crimbo....hopefully it'll inspire some of y'all....</b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">So, for some pals I did a wee bit of drawing. I noticed that my pal Claire's purse was a bit burst when rummaging through it for change one day, and an idea was born.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">I wouldn't normally advocate buying presents from Primark, but I swear it was the only place I could find a decent sized purse! I can draw to an extent, so this is ideal gift giving for me. I know not everyone is the same, but I reckon it's the thought that counts and I' for one' would be rather endeared by being given a purse with stick men drawn on it with a Sharpie. On the subject of which, I used acrylic paints with a weather proof varnish for this guy. You can get small sets in art/craft stores and they go a long way. However, I have been told that Sharpies are pretty good for such things (although I haven't tried then myself), so give 'em a try...why not!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">OK, admittedly, this is only really thrifty if your making more than one, so maybe best for Mothers day for your Maw and Granny or a birthday for twins or summat.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">I am mental, so therefor have a fair collection of crockery lying about. But if you don't, never fret, you should be able to pick up a wee random teacup or trinket box from your local charity shop. The wax I used was soy wax. It doesn't cause soot, isn't full of harmful chemicals, is vegan/vegi and you can use your teacups for their intended purpose when the candle is burned down. You can get sets in art store, but you need to be aware that they are often full of crap like paraffin and nasty animal fats. You should be able to get a small soy kit online complete with wicks....handy. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Fimo is fantastic. You can mold a multitude of shapes and then all you have to do is bung it in the oven. It's only about 2 quid a block and it goes a long way. It's paintable, so you don't need to fret about buying loads of colours. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The holiday season hath swept upon us and the biggest party night is almost here. We've already had almost a week of over eating and the occasional tipple, but the night that tops off festivities is nigh.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Problem is, most of us want to party, but do we really want everyone to see the true nick of us the next day when we're expected to show up for 'family time'?</span></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">I think not.</span></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">So what can we do with ourselves that will make us slightly more human without costing us the earth (not that you can buy anything as the shops are all shut, but, y'know...)?</span></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, here's 5 tips that shouldn't cost you, they may seem super simple, but lets face it; common sense just ain't that common....</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>
</b><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-weight: normal;">1. Your a lemon</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Remember that lemon you got for your house drinks before you headed out (if you made it that far), cut off one slice then forgot about? Well, go get it. Your gonna want to hydrate like a bitch, a wee lemon slice in your water (warm water and sugar if you can drink it) should give you a wee bit of pep as well has giving your poor wee liver a helping hand. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If your capable of dragging your sorry ass to the shower (and you really should try your best) you could do worse than using half a lemon to rub over your skin to get rid of the deathly booze smell. I learned from CSI that it can get rid of all kinds of awful smells from your skin, so knock yourself out. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't have any lemons you say? Well then fuck right off, what the hell kinda hostess are you anyway....</span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-weight: normal;">2. Cleanse my pretties, cleanse. </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Right, I know your all thinking 'well, dah' at this point. But we're not talking the usual quick rub over your face with some cotton pads and a blob of cleanser here, that ain't gonna cut it. You've just partied like a crazy, the booze has been escaping through your pores during the night and, chances are, you didn't do the best job before bed when you could see three of you in the mirror...hence the panda eyes. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First get your cleanser on your finger tips and rub it over your face being sure not to rub it in. Then get a lint free facial cloth. Obvs you may not have one, so I'll forgive you for using a hand towel just this once. Run it under the hot tap, get it as warm as you can stand then place it on your face. You want to open your pores as much as possible to get rid of all that grime. Then gently rub inwards in circular motions. Be sure to get all that mascara gone. If you've got a wee bit eyelash glue left over take it off with some tonner. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Your face is now clean and mildly exfoliated. I wouldn't recommend using exfoliating beads etc if you have them, cos lets face it, in your nick it's likely to leave you with a bright red face the rest of the day....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Now your peachy clean. Time to feel fresh (if your gonna vomit from last nights over indulgence get it done between these 2 steps).</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">You opened those pores to clean them, now you want to get them closed tight! Run the cold tap, you want the water as cold as you can bare. Scoop it up in your hands and get it on your face. We're not talking a quick splash here, really pat it into your face. Do it as many times as you can stand or before the frost bite kicks in, depending how hardcore you are. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">If all that motion is making you feel sick you can fill the sink with the cold water and dunk your face into it. Just be sure not to drown yourself. </span></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now give your skin a good moisturize! I know your skin feels mingin' due to all the toxins coming out during the night, but booze does dry skin out like a mo-fo. </span><br />

<h3>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: normal;">Now your pores are locked tight, your skin is pink and refreshed looking and your skin is tingling. It'll wake you up and should help get rid of that tired burning feeling behind your eyes.</span></h3>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Just by listening to Evil-Lynne's common sense advice!!</span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;">4.<u> </u>Dark circles ahoy.</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Now to deal with those delightful blue smiles under your eyes; the dark circles. </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">If you don't get these after a night out then you need to be locked in a lab and studied!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Everyone batters on about Touch Eclat. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">If you don't have it (which lets face it is most of us, it ain't cheap), don't </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">despair</span><span style="color: #b45f06;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm guessing you all have concealer, right? And red lipstick, right (if not, skip this part....and seriously re-think your make-up bag!)?</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These 2 combined can go a long way to getting rid of ol' blue eyes. Creamy or liquid concealer is best if you have it, you don't want to use anything to dry or heavy on the delicate eye area. Get some concealer on the back of your hand. Then get the red lippy and mix a tiny bit in with it...your escencally mixing your own colour correction. You want to apply this BEFORE your foundation, just a little at a time until you see the blue skin softening. You can layer it with your foundation, but remember, not too much on such delicate skin. </span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">If you've got Touch Eclat, and plan on using it, be gentle. I have seen some severe cases of reverse panda eyes with that... a dead give away of the hung over lady. And please remember it's a highlighter, not a concealer. Cover your spots with it all your doing is drawing attention to them...esp if you get your photo taken. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now get the rest of your face all foundationed up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">5.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Brighten, don't blighten.</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another common sense one. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You want to look fresh and life-like, nothing should reveal the train wreck from the night before. Less is more.</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The most common mistake of the hungover lady is trying to cover a multitude of sins with a TON of make-up. Stick to the basics; base, blush, light mascara, light brows (strictly no 'Scouse-brow'...ever!) and a wee bit of lip balm or warm pink gloss for the lips....simple, simple, simple. If you feel your eyes still look a bit tired a wee bit of white pencil on the lower water line will make your eyes look a bit bigger and brighter. Simplicity </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">means you'll look and feel fresher as well as giving your skin a wee rest from the carnage that was the night before. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You'll be a bit puffy, might have puked/cried earlier in the morning, lots of eye shadow and blush is gonna do is emphasize this and weight down your face and draw attention to your blood-shot eyes. You have pressure points in the inner corner of your eyes that help release some of the fluid your face is retaining. You could do worse than giving then a rub.</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now to brighten. DON'T got nuts with the skin highlighter, you'll just end up looking like a fem-bot....& that's fun best left for another time. </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not everyone has a skin 'illuminator', again, they can be costly, but I'm betting most of you have a wee sneaky pink shimmer eye shadow in the make-up bag. That'll do the trick nicely, just remember a light dusting with a blush brush is all you need (no glitter shadows though, unless your going for the fairy look). If worse comes to the worst then you can always use the tiniest wee bit of Vaseline.</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You want to concentrate on your best features and lift your face. This means a little along the cheek bones and the brow bones. You can also go down the middle of your nose and jaw line depending on your face shape. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-weight: normal;">Conclusion:</span></h3>
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You are now a fresh faced glowing princess. Go forth and hug your granny, kiss your boy/girlfriend and join in the family fun......but don't for one second think you'll fool your Mum. 'cos that will never happen.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;">'tis the season to be jolly and joyous....as well as meeting a big bunch of strangers on a cold Monday night for some quality Christmas fun times. So last Monday, that's what I did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Us Scottish blogger lasses (& one guy) congregated in Glasgow's Monkey Bar and had a lovely wee night to ourselves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQN18IzHcEUj7b_D7TtNt5r1husLjq4xEfyVIes78Ta4ct4u0d2DizUsLZz65hcpaeXMGRnPu5WNGtvIikPgyU3L6g_KEr0P2rHjWVqohAzY5H5DbFNi6QT4O3PIeG4Q_QiiCAA0uNfFk/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQN18IzHcEUj7b_D7TtNt5r1husLjq4xEfyVIes78Ta4ct4u0d2DizUsLZz65hcpaeXMGRnPu5WNGtvIikPgyU3L6g_KEr0P2rHjWVqohAzY5H5DbFNi6QT4O3PIeG4Q_QiiCAA0uNfFk/s320/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">In addition to meeting some friendly new faces there was also a raffle with some fantastic prizes (I won a rather fantastic pair of earrings) almost all donated by local businesses, for which I'm sure we can't thank them enough!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"> The best part, of course, is that the money raised from the raffle went to Glasgow's Women's Aid the very next day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Gillian and Rosin did a great job of organising the event, as did Ms Bee Waits with the raffle. It was a really nice night and I very pleased I went.....& not only for the awesome make-up I got in the secret Santa!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am cheap....there, I said it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not one for spending huge amounts of money on most things as I believe the saying 'you get what you pay for' is a crock of shit!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm also a hoarder....a hoarder from hell!! But, hey, that can be a good thing, right? Why part with the things you love. Esp when you'll use/wear them again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So the other night when I went out for a couple of hours for my friend Marise's birthday I think my whole outfit cost little more than £40 and at least half of it was at least 15 years old....yass!!</span></div>
