Beauty Insider Tips

Editor’s Letter
The Holidays are almost
here! We’ve already started
decorating our homes and of-
fices and of course, tackling
the shopping. One of the best
things about the Holidays is
choosing beautiful gifts for
friends and family (and find-
ing a gorgeous palette or two
for ourselves to celebrate our
achievements!). There are so
many amazing deals, value
sets and gifts-with-purchase
making it easy to get lost with
the variety and choice, but
we’ve made it easy for you.
Follow our gift guide to help
you choose the best beauty
presents for your loved ones,
picked out by beauty indus-
try insiders and beauty blog-
gers.
You want a truly special party
look? Why not try re-creating
2 HOLIDAY/2010
the looks from this year’s
most gorgeous beauty promo
photos? Read the low down
on how to get those looks.
Holidays are a great time of
year to be adventurous with
a bold, red lip, but consider
experimenting with other
dramatic shades, too. How
about deep wine, hot fuchsia
or sultry plum lipstick? We
all know what a new lipstick
can do, so make sure you
treat yourself to a truly luxu-
rious one for this Holiday. It
could be Chanel or Armani,
but how about Tom Ford or
Serge Lutens for a highly pig-
mented luxury look?
Of course, you can’t be party
perfect without a beautiful
manicure. In this issue we
have an interview with Nonie
Creme, Creative Director of
one of our favourite nail pol-
ish brands, butter LONDON.
Read her tips on applying
nail polish, seasonal trend
shades and a sneak peek on
whats coming for Spring!
As usual on the last page we
publish our current beauty
obsession – this time it’s the
edgy and brilliant Ellis Faas!
Happy shopping and enjoy
your holidays!

My name is Zu and I am the
founder and Managing Director
of Zuneta.com. Zuneta is 2 years
old now and we specialise in sell-
ing niche/luxury brands from all
around the world. We are online
only and we focus on using inno-
vative content to bring the brands
we sell to life – so video content,
photography, articles etc. I guess
you could call Zuneta a nursery
for emerging brands? Before I cre-
ated Zuneta I worked in global
brand strategy and product de-
velopment for L’Oreal. My job
took me all over the world and
gave me a good grounding both
in understanding cosmetic formu-
las and also in understanding
how the needs of women differ
depending on their ethnicity.
Zuneta is unique in that we take a
very personalized approach to
product recommendation, en-
abling us to build up a loyal and
(hopefully!) satisfied client base
from all over the world.
What do you like the best about
the beauty industry?
I find the beauty industry very ex-
citing because not only is it glam-
orous and sexy, but also a serious
and viable business opportunity.
I get the right balance of mental
stimulation and fun in my work-
ing day! I love how we are able to
make women feel when we match
them with the right products. It is
incredible how much a woman’s
confidence can improve when she
feels beautiful both on the inside
and out.
