| British woman 'asked if she could speak English' in East End Cosmetics - Metro.co.uk Posted: 13 Aug 2019 11:00 AM PDT A British woman has said she was racially profiled, misgendered and asked if she could 'even speak English' while shopping in a London cosmetics store. MonBelle, 33, claims she was closely tailed by a shop assistant the moment she entered East End Cosmetics to buy hair moisturiser on August 6. The business owner, who has lived in Dubai for over 10 years, then attempted to purchase her items with a United Arab Emirates debit card. But as she tried to pay, she said the cashier became increasingly aerated because the card was rejected and denied it had worked when it finally went through. MonBelle claims the woman then demanded to see her ID, which was back at her hotel, before asking her where she was from. She told Metro.co.uk: 'I've travelled all over the world with my card and I have never ever had a problem. Advertisement Advertisement 'My bank is connected to my phone and I immediately got a text that showed £12 had gone to their shop. I tried to show the woman but she wouldn't believe me.  'She took my card off me and kept asking whose it was, asking me if it was stolen and telling a male worker to block the door because she was calling the police. It was ridiculous. 'That's when she turned to me and was like: "Do you even understand English? Where are you from?". 'I'm thinking: "Woah. Okay. This is a different vibe, this is not right". She's telling me I'm foreign, that I shouldn't even be here, all while using male pronouns. 'It's weird because she was Asian herself, which is completely not an issue, but for her to tell me I don't understand English, in broken English, was bizarre. 'I eventually snatched my card out of her hand and left the store. To be honest, I felt a bit traumatised by the whole thing.  Moped robbers who snatched phone jailed after police chase 'I've never had this before, anywhere, and I least of all expected it from the place where I am from.' MonBelle, who was born in Bradford, was excited to be back in the UK and visiting friends and family who live around London. But the CEO, who owns Dubai events and entertainment company Those Guys, said the 'offensive' nature of the incident in store reduced her to tears. Advertisement Advertisement A member of staff also prevented her from taking the items she'd bought, meaning she left the shop empty handed. MonBelle said: 'When you're black and someone is threatening to call the police, even if you know it's such an insignificant thing… [You might think], "Are you joking? Sure, let them come. I'll talk to them." 'But there's still a part of you thinking: "What if the police come and I have to go through the same battle with them. What if the wrong police officer comes and it's another whole story".  'It made me feel a bit worthless, like degraded. Nobody, regardless of where they're from or what their orientation is, no one should feel like that. 'Disappointing is not even if the word. It's disgusting behaviour.' When approached for comment, Shabir Bhanji, owner of East End Cosmetics, denied MonBelle's transaction had gone through – but said she could easily call her bank for the money if this was not the case. He told Metro.co.uk the cashier had been following till instructions to withhold the card and claimed MonBelle had become 'offensive and aggressive' as a result. Mr Bhanji said: 'There are so many scams going on, there so many cards that are stolen and being used in the city.  Greta Thunberg will sail to US on boat with no toilet to avoid flying 'We're doing a job that is not our job. It would have been easier to just give the card back, even if the till tells you to keep it.' Advertisement He continued: 'We treat all the customers very fairly, although a lot of my staff get a lot of abuse. Retail is very tough. I was told this customer wasn't pleasant at all. 'I have rules in place I make my staff follow. Don't retaliate and don't become aggressive back. If you feel threatened, call the police. 'Why would my staff, knowing how strict I am on customer service, be rude to a customer?' Mr Bhanji said he would not apologise to MonBelle and also denied accusations that she had been racially profiled while in the shop. He said: 'When somebody says to me you're racist, I say listen, I'm from Africa. 'Racism is not within my company philosophy. We are all migrants ourselves. I employ people in the company of all ethnicities.' Advertisement Advertisement  |
| Good ol’ castor oil is staging a cosmetics comeback - Seattle Times Posted: 13 Aug 2019 06:00 AM PDT Castor oil has been around for thousands of years and has been a medicine-cabinet staple for hundreds. So it's somewhat surprising to see the standby elixir — known for calming stomachs and beautifying hair — gaining attention from the wellness and beauty industries that are churning out products claiming to grow your eyelashes or make your skin glow. Domesticated in Eastern Africa and introduced to China from India an estimated 1,400 years ago, the castor oil plant is one of the oldest cultivated crops in human history. Castor oil allegedly was a weapon in Cleopatra's beauty arsenal — the Queen of the Nile is said to have used it in her hair and, some sources say, to brighten the whites of her eyes. Read on to find out why castor oil is having another 15 minutes of fame, whether you can believe the hype, what to look for and how to use it. What is castor oil?Castor oil is made by pressing the seeds of castor beans, which yields a viscous liquid thicker than olive oil and pale yellow in hue. Known for being full of triglycerides and fatty acids, castor oil contains a high volume of ricinoleic acid, a versatile component that makes it well-suited to a wide range of formulas — industrial, medical and pharmaceutical alike. Castor oil's benefits are myriad: as a moisturizer and anti-inflammatory, as well as a hair thickener and strengthener. Why now?Castor oil has historically appeared in many products, though until recently only a few brands, such as Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil, featured the ingredient front and center. Now it's being marketed on the front of product packaging instead of buried in an ingredient list under its chemical name, according to Manhattan-based dermatologist Julie Russak. She sees a couple of wellness trends at play in the ingredient's newfound fame. "Basically, companies are calling out natural ingredients right now because that is what consumers are looking for," Russak said. Castor oil "has longevity. It's not a chemical product that has just been designed in the lab." In addition, she said, "Oils in general are having a comeback, and castor oil is getting a rebrand. We talk about eating good fats, eating fatty acids, oils, fish oils, different triglycerides, getting them out of avocados, for the inside. But oils are the answer for that on the outside." Advertising Promoting castor oil in a way that dovetails with wider wellness trends seems to be working, if you consider celebrity endorsements and what's stocked at Sephora. Actress Charlize Theron recently touted castor oil as a personal beauty tip, saying she uses it by itself on her eyebrows and hair. Grande Cosmetics retails a castor oil mascara that promises "unbeatable shine and glossiness" for $25, while Biolage makes a hair mask treatment that uses castor oil as a key ingredient, and WUNDER2's Wunderkiss Lip Combo features the oil in its lip plumping gloss. A two-ounce bottle of Revitalizing Hair Oil from Brooklyn-based company May 11, which contains four "pure oils" including Jamaican Black Castor Oil, can be purchased online for $78.  What about those beauty claims?Advertising claims aside, at least one study has shown that castor oil increases overall hair luster — more commonly understood as shine, according to Bindiya Gandhi, a physician who practices functional and integrative medicine in Georgia. Though there are no studies that show castor oil directly causes hair growth, Gandhi said, the theory isn't far-fetched. "Hair growth is triggered by prostaglandin (PGE2) and ricinoleic acid in castor oil has been shown to stimulate PGE2 so we can conclude that this is the reason that it increases hair growth," she wrote in an email. She gives the example of Latisse, an eyelash growth product that uses the "same mechanism of action." Gandhi remembers her mother using castor oil on her hair when she was a child, as well as giving it to her orally for constipation. When she had her own daughter last year, she reached for it, too. "Topically, you're getting anti-inflammatory properties," Gandhi said, which is why castor oil is an ingredient in products such as anti-aging and stretch mark creams and ointments for sunburns and rashes. Castor oil also can be used as an antibacterial and antifungal treatment to combat yeast overgrowth and buildup on the scalp. At the same time, she cautioned, a little bit of castor oil goes a long way — and it's not right for everyone or everything. Ingested orally, it can help with digestive issues; but take too much and it can cause an electrolyte imbalance or diarrhea. "Always talk to your doctor to make sure you have the go-ahead," said Gandhi, who advised that adults ingest between 15 milliliters and three teaspoons for constipation but not use it as a long-term solution. "You can mix it in fruit juice, milk, or water to help ease the taste." For kids, the dosage depends on age, and you should talk to a pediatrician first, "but 5 milliliters or 1 teaspoon is usually a good starting dose." Advertising For topical applications, Gandhi recommended using a dime-size amount to massage into the skin or scalp. But, she warned, castor oil should not be considered a fix for all skin issues. For example, people experiencing seborrheic dermatitis — caused by a fungus and resulting in red, flaky skin — should avoid castor oil, which exacerbates the condition. What to look forGandhi advised anyone shopping for castor oil to scrutinize the source and packaging: Look for cold-pressed products, the lighter in color the better, which she says tends to be a reflection of purity. The consistency should be thick and syrupy. "You probably want to get it in a glass bottle," she added. "If something is in plastic, it's more likely to get rancid or leach." Russak suggested consumers pay attention to actual processing whenever possible. "Castor oil comes from the beans of a natural plant, but where do the beans come from, how are they stored? Are they covered in pesticides to protect them from bacteria and mold — and are those pesticides being processed together with the beans to produce the oil?" she asked. Research is key to finding a high-quality product. Both doctors also pointed out that just because something is natural, doesn't mean it's good for you — and that "all natural" is not always better or more effective than scientifically formulated products. Though there's no reason to turn our backs on products that have been in use and worked well for ages, such as castor oil, Russak said: "We do have a lot of ingredients that we know work. I don't want my patients to just completely put aside everything that science has created up until now and jump into everything that is organic and natural. She cites retinol and retinoic acid, which were developed as anti-aging ingredients in the late 20th century. "The original form of retinoic acid is Vitamin A," she says. "So, let's not forget that."

| San Antonio Morphe fans hoping Jeffree Star will be at new North Star Mall store this weekend - mySA Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:28 PM PDT 
@LarissaAlvarez: crossing fingers for San Antonio @LarissaAlvarez: crossing fingers for San Antonio Morphe fans are hoping Jeffree Star will help christen the new North Star Mall store. The popular makeup artist and social media influencer teased an upcoming appearance for a "huge ribbon cutting" at a new Morphe store. The appearance will also double as a celebration for his new collaboration with the brand. "Can anyone guess what city," he tweeted. "I'll announce the mall with RSVP link in the next few days" North Star Mall's location opened earlier this month without an ambassador as other openings have had, such as when Nicole Faulkner and Jaclyn Hill showed up in June at the Miracle Mile Shops opening in Las Vegas. The company has other upcoming store openings in California, Maryland, Hawaii, New Jersey and in the U.K. that Star could be hinting at, but local customers responded to his tweet in droves, speculating or pleading for San Antonio to be the mystery location. "If it's San Antonio, I would ball my eyes out if I ever came within 50 feet of Jeffree Lynn (Star's middle name)," one person said, followed by another who tweeted that she had "been waiting for this day." RELATED: Morphe cosmetics brand opens store at North Star Mall Another fan may have gotten a tip that could mean everything is aligning for a Star visit to San Antonio. "Ummmm when I was in Morphe at North Star a couple days a go the manager said they're having there [sic] grand opening this weekend," the customer replied to Star's tweet. "Morphe Babes" will need their setting spray because they are going to have to sweat out "the next few days" to find out if they will be Star-struck. His current social media focus is promoting his new collaboration collection with the brand, a line of pink-packaged palettes and tools. Social media photos from Tuesday show lines pouring out of the North Star Mall store to purchase the new collection. When reached for comment, Morphe's public relations team said they do not have information to share about the location of Star's event.

| Posted: 13 Aug 2019 06:37 AM PDT  Animal testing is a cruel, outdated and unnecessary practice. In traditional tests, rabbits, mice, rats and guinea pigs have substances forced down their throat, dripped into their eyes, or smeared onto their skin, and are left to suffer for days or weeks without pain relief. Photo by iStockphoto By Kitty Block and Sara AmundsonThe United States has moved one step closer to ending unnecessary cosmetics testing on animals, as Illinois becomes the third U.S. state to enact a marketing ban preventing companies from selling cosmetics that have newly been tested on animals. On August 9, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed into law a bill that prohibits the sale of cosmetics like shampoos, lipsticks and deodorants in Illinois, unless they are cruelty free. Illinois joins California and Nevada, which have passed similar laws. Starting January 1, 2020, all cosmetics products on store shelves in these three states will be free of new animal testing. We applaud the work of Sen. Linda Holmes, Rep. Jonathan Carroll, and the Animal Welfare Institute in helping to secure the passage of the Illinois bill. As we continue to expand our global #BeCrueltyFree campaign, we are thrilled to see the momentum building in the United States. This is one of the world's largest cosmetics markets and reforms here have the potential to spare the lives of tens of thousands of animals used in these tests worldwide each year, including mice, rabbits, rats and guinea pigs. In traditional tests, substances are forced down the animals' throats, dripped into their eyes, or smeared onto their skin, and they are left to suffer for days or weeks without pain relief. There is no need for this. Consumer demand for cruelty-free products has led to more than 1,000 cosmetic brands in North America committing to develop and offer products based on the thousands of safe ingredients already available, or by using non-animal test methods that are often more reliable predictors of human safety at a great savings in time and cost when compared to animal tests. For these and other reasons, we need Congress to step up now and pass legislation to end cosmetics testing on animals in our country altogether. There is strong support for such a law: in the last Congress, the Humane Cosmetics Act received the support of more than 180 cosponsors. This legislation was also endorsed by nearly 300 companies in the cosmetics industry. We expect the bill to be reintroduced when Congress reconvenes in September. Worldwide, nearly 40 countries, including the member countries of the European Union, Australia, Guatemala, India, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey, have already banned or limited the use of animals for cosmetics testing through the efforts of Humane Society International and others. HSI and its partners are on the front lines in countries including Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the ASEAN region of south-east Asia, working hard to help pass additional legislation on these lines. HSI's #BeCrueltyFree campaign also has the support of global beauty giants like Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Avon and the Estée Lauder Companies, in addition to our longstanding partners at Lush and H&M. There is a beauty revolution underway, and it is one that rejects outmoded cruelty and embraces compassion and modern scientific alternatives to animal testing. There is no excuse for our country to remain on the sidelines even as the rest of the world commits to this new, forward-thinking protocol. With the momentum for ending cosmetics testing building up day by day, now is the perfect time to recommit to ending these tests here in the United States. Please call your members of Congress (you can find their contact information here) and let them know you support reintroduction of the Humane Cosmetics Act. With a few more victories, we can push cosmetics testing with animals off the map for good. Sara Amundson is president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund.  |
