Cargo-tastic!
As you know the fat mu team are always on the look-out for the next best thing in the world of La Maquillage.....Mulain is keen on trying Cargo's latest offering. This summer, CARGO unveils LashActivator™, a nourishing boost for your lashes which will visibly increase the appearance of natural lash length and fullness, while promoting lash vitality and reducing lash loss. I know, I know...sounds too good to be true.......Cargo claim that in just 30 days, new CARGO LashActivator™ helps boost the appearance of lash length by more than 2 ½ times, compared to regular mascara. With a multitude of award-winning products, cutting edge packaging and ground-breaking formulations, CARGO has gained recognition around the world as the most innovative brand on the beauty scene today. CARGO's super-portable products are found in the most prestigious goody bags – from the Oscars to the Emmys to the Golden Globes (not quite sure about Film Fare yet)......and have become must-haves in the hands of professional makeup artists, celebrities and everyday women femme fatales. Natasha can vouch that Naomi Campbell loves Cargo and carries it in her beauty bag. Mulain loves the Cargo tag line too....."It's all about the modern tools for the timeless art of self-expression."Cargo say that LashActivator™ is the next generation black mascara - love that catchy line..... our MU Natasha is currently in London town itself and hunting out some goodies for fat mu....too excited for her return. Mulain will get ask her to pick me up one and I will try it out. I know I have fabulous lashes but we can always do with a leetle 'elp. Non?
Hoping you are enjoying your Sundays my lovely lash queens....a demain....Mulain x

The Caring McCartneys

How can we contribute to saving our planet? Well it seems the McCartney tribe 'ave come up with un bright idee of having a 'meatless Monday' to save the world - cut back on your steak tartare, your caviar, your black sausage, your crispy bacon bits, your piggy trotters, your tripe for one day a week and you will help climate change - makes sense non? We all 'ave to help in some way and this it seems everyone can do.
Stella M even has her own skin-care range now 'Care' by Stella McCartney....totally natural and organic, making us aware of what we are putting on our skin and encouraging us to think in an organic way. http://www.stellamccartneycare.com/UK/
MU Virginia's brother is currently crewing on Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior and doing 'is bit for the environment, sailing on the high seas and risking life and limb for a good cause - personally I think he's in it for the chicks and the T-shirts, but 'oo am I to judge? Bon voyage monsieur and bon chance to all the eco-warriers out there.
Anyone for a veg-cutlet?

La Courage!
My friends...all over the news we are seeing demonstrations in Iran, with the people angry that perhaps the voting has been rigged.....in an increasingly apathetic world Mulain applauds these people for showing la courage and taking action for something they believe - we should all learn a lesson from this. 'Ave attached my favourite YouTube clip, which still takes my breath away, please see below.....the courage and conviction that this man showed - complete selflessness......Mon Dieu!
Tiananmen Square demo 1989
What does this 'ave to do with make-up you ask? Well....I feel we can only enjoy our lives of liberty, lipstick and lashes because of people like 'im. So we should all be thankful, thoughtful, grateful. We are lucky we live where you can be anything, wear anything, say anything.....
So Mulain is off to practice his luxurious life of liberty and paint his nails rainbow bright, coat his lashes like a Broadway star and gloss-up for lunch while quietly wishing all in Iran goes well.....

Slumdog Millionth English Word?
Just when we think the Slumdog buzz is dying down something else crops up......apart from the Pussycat Dolls remix of Jai Ho of course.....Will Slumdog be the millionth word in the dictionary?.....think Jai Ho is also a front-runner. Mon Dieu! Do we have too much time on our hands people? Ummm.....Pink is the navy blue of India!
Mulain once had a t-shirt which said Pink is the Navy Blue of India!......I just loved it and it's a great way of saying colour rules in this subcontinent. We are so spoilt here with the most wonderful spectrum of pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, greens....just marvellous....colour everywhere you look! Sarees, flowers, fruits, elephants, foods, trees, cottons, silks - it's colour galore and I adore! Embrace it my darlings, let it lift your spirits and use it in your make-up palettes, on your eyes, on your cheeks, on your lips - it's there to inspire you. Non?Monday, June 8, 2009

Bollywood's wonderful wigs
The MU's have been whizzing around Mumbai today - de-lighted with the little morning shower which cooled the city for all of two minutes and then it went back to pure steam again, oof! We all have a permanent sweaty lip, where's the glamour people?!.......From Bandra, to Juhu and even up to Film city area we've been jet-setting all over town and today we saw our lovely wig-maker and general 'wig-man' of the stars (who must not be named), Kailash-Ji. His address book is packed with the Who Who's of Bollywood-land and top society la-dies and gents..... He has moved with his wonderful team to a new studio in Goregaon West - an air-conditioned sanctuary, with chai and his charming company - it's like an ashram really. What a lovely soul he is.....and wonderful work he does too.....so anyone wanting a hair piece, beard, moustache, wig - he's your man.
