The company has formed a new division, Times Lifestyle Enterprise, that will launch Femina FLAUNT into the beauty salon segment. Sandeep Dahiya (Director – Brand Extensions, BCCL) has been appointed the CEO of the new entity, and would be responsible for exploring and driving growth for the venture, while continuing to lead Brand Extensions at BCCL. Further, the company has roped-in Dinesh Bhat (formerly with Unilever India) as the COO for the venture. Dinesh will report to Sandeep. The company plans to open its first unisex COCO (company-owned, company-operated) Studio Salon in Mumbai within the first half of 2019. Speaking about the venture, Sandeep Dahiya, CEO - Times Lifestyle Enterprise & Director – Brand Extension, BCCL, said, “Beauty is an exciting, and a rapidly growing category in India, and we’re confident of making a significant impact in this category through differentiated service offering, personalized consumer engagement, and best-in-class brand alliances.

IMA Certification holds a certain standard by itself, when it comes to choosing the institutions that can become IMA certified. So you can be assured that any school that IMA has chosen to be a centre is of the highest quality in terms of make-up education.”

BC FiBre Clinix promises the benefits of Triple Bonding and C21 Technology that works in tandem with hyper-customizable BC Boosters that ensure bespoke care for your tresses.

The experience
The promise
I had my hair shampooed and was then recommended the products for fine hair treatment. During diagnosis, it was found that my hair was dry and frizzy at the ends due to weather conditions as well as colour-damage. As per these issues identified during the consultation, two BC Boosters were used in my treatment — Peptide Repair and Hyaluronic Moisture. The entire process takes about 45 minutes and can vary according to your hair length. Prices vary from salon to salon, staying between `1,500 - `2,000.
Triple Bonding is said to create 3-dimensional networks within the hair fibre to increase elasticity, while the patented C21 technology claims to be a highly effective, conditioning agent that restores protective Proteo-Lipids on the outer layer of hair for better shine and natural movement. Finally, the BC Fibre Clinix Boosters are expected to ensure lasting hair quality.
The ResulTs Though I was advised a round of 4 to 5 sittings to completely treat my extremely dry hair, the results were quite visible in the first sitting itself. My hair appeared smoother and I did love the product’s fragrance. The athome care regimen includes a shampoo and conditioner.

Turn Away
The Tan
Bid farewell to tan in just one sitting with an instant tan removing facial by Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals.
T
he sun is out and the summers are back with its unbearable troubles - tanning being on top of that list. With no mercy from the searing heat, most of us are content staying indoor than risk skin damage. Some sun exposure is known to benefit us with the essential Vitamin D - but the harmful UV rays can be quite the deal breaker with threats of tan lines and irritated skin. Even though one can’t see them, UV rays penetrate into the outer layers of our skin and increase the melanin content, which leads to stubborn pigmentations. Before you fret about missing that day out in the sun, we’ve got a solution. Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals, a pioneer in the professional skincare and diagnosis, presents an instant de-tanning facial - TanClear. 6-step tan removal facial shows visible results in just one sitting. The treatment consists of a Tri-system of AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), which is a combination of ingredients like glycolic, kojic and lactic acid, known to exfoliate and lighten the skin to clear your tan. Furthermore, the Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) prevents melanin from spreading in the upper layers as well.
VISIBLE RESULTS IN 6 STEPS:: 1. Cleansing: The 1st step involves cleansing the skin wherein Cheryl’s TanClear Cleansing Gel is used. It contains alpha lipoic acid that lightens the skin and thoroughly cleans the dirt, oil and grease.
2. Deep Exfoliation: This step involves removal of dead skin cells from the upper layer of the epidermis. Cheryl’s TanClear Deep Exfoliator contains willow bark extract that provides deep exfoliation and rejuvenates the skin.
3. Skin Refresher: Cheryl’s TanClear Skin Freshner contains Menthol & Chamomile flower that provides instant hydration to the skin & restores the pH levels.
4. Skin Brightening Cream: Formulated with AHAs and Green Tea Herbal Extract, Cheryl’s TanClear Skin Brightening Cream eliminates dead skin cells, giving the skin a bright even tone.
5. Nourishing Cream: This step involves smooth massages that lighten and rejuvenate skin with the help of Cheryl’s TanClear Radiance Cream that contains Vitamin C which is a potent anti-oxidant.
6. Glow Mask: The facial is enhanced with a glow mask that provides hydration to the skin, thus revealing natural glow. 34 Beauty Launchpad India | 04.19
HOME CARE WITH CHERYL’S DERMASHADE SUNBLOCKS While we need facials to get rid of tan and pigmentations, it is equally important to apply the right amount of sunblock every time we step outside. Cheryl’s DermaShade Sunblocks offers complete sun protection and is backed by the latest sun care technology along with SPF boosters. It is inbuilt with ingredients like noni fruit extract, aloe vera and natural yogurt to keep the skin radiant and glowing. • Cheryl’s DermaShade SPF 50 is a cream based formula for dry and sensitive skin that gives 12 hours protection from UV rays • Cheryl’s DermaShade SPF 30 is a spray based formula for oily and sensitive skin, which gives 7-8 hours protection from UV rays Don’t be scared to go out in the summer! Beat the tan with Cheryl’s TanClear Facial and DermaShade sunblock.

pring/Summer 2019 comes with the promise of fruity fresh trends, especially as Pantone’s ‘Colour of the Year’ fits right into the season’s vibe. ‘Living Coral’ as you might have seen on underwater footage or on a diving trip, is a vision in itself — gently swaying to the currents of the ocean, ethereal in an expanse of the clear blue. Adapting the juicy shade to your make-up routine can’t be that hard — what with the sunset smoulder giving classic smokey eyes quite the competition. If bold is not your choice, embrace the subtle soft smudged lip trend — dab on a deep pigment in orange and smudge it with your fingers until the harsh lines are cleared. Peachy pinks are great to blush up fair skin too or use them on the eyes, in combination with light blues or even sunset yellow. Or just dust them on to take a break from shimmer, but get the same glamour. — By Isha Gakhar 04.19

New Tunes of Beauty
What are your goals for 2019?
What are your cult products?
i am excited about 2019! on the personal front, i want to focus on becoming a better version of myself. i really want to understand the importance of maintaining an overall balance and how it improves productivity. i will always be a student and keep learning. i also wish to continue promoting mental health solutions. With respect to my music, i am excited about the video release of my latest single ‘Unstoppable’. i also have an entire album coming out in the upcoming months. i have had five back-to-back platinum hits in india and would like to see my songs break on a global level.
Hair: Kérastase shampoo and olaplex conditioners do wonders for me, as i am constantly styling my hair for shoots and events. An olaplex hair mask was recommended by my hairstylist in the UsA, whilst i was shooting for my video ‘hold on’.
What does feminism mean to you? to me, feminism means equality of genders and i feel everyone should be a feminist. i do not necessarily identify with being aggressive about how women are better than men. But i strongly believe in basic equal human rights and wanting that for everyone no matter their gender.
How would you perceive beauty for a woman in 2019? Beauty for me is when you are your authentic self. When i feel comfortable in my own skin, that’s when i feel beautiful. sometimes by just wearing baggy jeans and a t-shirt, sometimes i feel beautiful wearing heels, and at times casual sneakers. it may sound cliche but when you are happy within, the beauty shows on the outside too.
Do you have any beauty quick-fixes? è When you’re having a bad hair day wear a cap or use dry shampoo. è Always moisturise your skin in cold weather. è you need to really understand your skin and build a skin routine around that. è if you ever attempt bleaching your hair, do not bleach your roots — even if you think it looks funny because that will burn your roots. è Deep condition your hair regularly and always use heat protection before heat styling.
How does your job define the beauty and grooming choices you make? i personally like to be as natural as possible. i try not to use a lot of make-up on a daily basis, maybe just some mascara and undereye concealer. on the red carpet, however, i like to experiment and be outlandish. since i am a singer and i must be in front of the camera quite often, i have to glam up the look. Make-up is more of an art to me and not a cover-up; you are pretty with or without it. Most importantly you need to take care of yourself and your skin.
Skincare: My daily skincare routine involves cleansing, toning, and moisturising. i do this once a day in the morning, and just cleanse my face with Dr Andrew Weil for origins™ face Cleanser at night before bedtime. My favourite is Dr Andrew Weil for origins™ Mega-Bright skin illuminating Moisturizer, which hydrates my skin and helps restore the balance. Make-up: My go-to foundation is Chanel vitalumiere fluide Makeup. i use it with the Bobbi Brown instant full cover concealer, nArs high voltage highlighting palette, Becca Mineral Blush in flowerchild, and a basic eyeliner and mascara (Dior show iconic) to complete the look. MAC lipsticks have great nudes and are generally my favourite.

Paco Rabanne and the Story of
XS
“By Pushing experiences to the limit, we can change mind sets” – Paco Rabanne, 1967 — By Ritoo Jhha
A
designer who believed in shocking with his iconoclastic style, went on to revolutionise the runway in the late 60s, Paco Rabanne as a brand stands for embracing excess, with a firm belief in shaking things up. Taking the XS legacy forward, Paco Rabanne has come up with Pure XS For Her. Way back in 1993, the XS for Men started by celebrating sexual desire. Followed by Black XS in 2005, and Black XS for Her in 2007 when rock was alive – wild woods with praline for Him and rose drenched black vanilla – a marriage of contrasts for Her. In 2017, it got sharper and more defined with Pure XS – a return to the Erotica. Embodied in a Man who has the extraordinary talent of provocation but remains an enigma. Whilst it for the first time brought overdose of ginger, explosion of vanilla and myrrh in a heady combine, the Paco Rabanne Pure XS For Her.
A Feminine Vision Paco Rabanne dressed his women in metal in the ‘60s itself“that’s what really matters, rethinking the way we view women”. In 2018, his vision emerges in the form of the Pure XS girl- Emily Ratajkowski- carrying her feminity unapologetically. With 18 million followers on Instagram, an actress, model and activist, she encourages women to proudly wear their bodies. Hence Excess – of feminine appeal to hugely empowered personality to an innate ability to disarm – hence taking on the legacy of her predecessor – “erotically untamed with rock solid self-control. Double edged: distant yet magnetic. Direct and disarming”. 38 Beauty Launchpad India | 04.19
The FrAgrAnT noTes Topped with a floral embrace of ylang ylang and jasmine that go deeper with vanilla and exploding into a daring popcorn bite- notes of salty sweet popcorn and finally the Musk and milkwood notes creat that sense of ‘desire on fire’. Hence – ylang ylang, vanilla, popcorn note, sandalwood, and ambrette seeds.
The BoTTle A piece of art with bold edges, with a golden serpentine embrace at the top- glass with shades of pink from neon until nightfall. The box rich in velvet. The Photo Campaign by Nathaniel Goldberg captures Xsin all its excess- an heiress languishing nonchalantly in her armchair, barely dressed, looking straight in the eye – in the foreground the serpent battle catches attention harking back to the first temptation with Eve perhaps. A Digital Approach: Paco Rabanne for the first time innovates and takes it digitally with the first interactive webseries on Instagram
The Film Provocative, yet hilarious at the end the heiress spell binds knights fighting for her attention and finally non gets her as they ‘faint’ by the side in a tragi comic ending. Directed by Nathaniel Goldberg.

Professional Beauty Group presented the first ever Makeup Week in Mumbai that had the who’s who of the industry in attendance.
T
he Professional Beauty Group set the conversation on the future of make-up and education rolling with the unveiling of the first edition of the Makeup Week (MUW). It was scheduled on the 25th and 26th of March, 2019 in Mumbai. “As the Indian society is warming up to alternative and creative career options, make-up artistry is gaining popularity.

The
Bodyshop: A growing legacy of wellbeing
When Brazil’s Natura took over The Body Shop from L’Oreal in September 2017, it seemed like a marriage of two like-minded companies- with a commitment to sustainable growth and ethical trade amongst others. Beauty Launchpad gets talking to Harmeet Singh on the brand’s legacy, the future, and the India story of The Body Shop. — By Ritoo Jhha How has Anita Roddick’s legacy been taken forward by The Body Shop in contemporary era? Dame Anita Roddick Is The Inspiration of The Body Shop — And Always Will. The Body Shop will always take inspiration from the beliefs and principles established by Anita. However, in harmony with the changing world we inhabit, the meaning of these will evolve. She pioneered a business model that creates a positive impact for individuals and communities and used human connection as a tool to inspire learning and success. She spoke out against the industry’s false claims that endorse perfection as a source of happiness. 48 Beauty Launchpad India | 04.19
Ms HaRMeet singH, General Manager- Marketing, Merchandising and E-Commerce Asia South, The Body Shop
She defined beauty as a source of joy and energy as well as a powerful tool for building self-esteem. Anita opened her first shop in 1976 in Brighton. The Body Shop was the perfect match for Brighton’s socially and environmentally progressive spirit. We exist to fight for a fairer and more beautiful world, this is our purpose as a brand. The world is beautiful, but our society is destroying it; it scars and pollutes the natural world and the animals that inhabit it. The world is at its best when individual human potential is awakened and achieved. We are a Feminist brand; we believe that everyone is beautiful. We believe in the power and ritual of beauty to uplift spirits and senses whilst promoting self esteem.
