Benefit Pppprowl!


What fun! MU Virginia has brought me back from lovely London a new snazzy Benefit lip and eye duo stick. One end is an irridescent lip gloss and the other a blue glitter / irridescent mascara...am so excited at trying this out...to-tally gearing up for the Disco look of the season. This little gem is just under 20 GBP...not cheap...but when has London been cheap for shopping my friends. Anyway...not important...'it's the time to disco...tra la la'....

Stains

Mulain is always partial to good ole Bourjois, so when MU Sara suggested the Rouge hi-tech lip tint I was interested. It comes in 4 shades and is quite an economical buy at around Rs 500 only Mulain found it a little drying on the lips but did love the colours...anyone else out there found that? MU Sara swears by it though and uses it on her cheeks too....she says it's a great, cheap option instead of buying Benefit's Benetint.....so go check it out girls and boys and let us know how you get on.....have also heard that The Body Shop's lip and cheek tint is good. Mulain off to investigate...only for you my darlings...only for you!

About to start Catwalk make-up tomorrow in the academy's pro class.....Mulain's favourite..can't wait....Vogue, vogue, vogue...strike a pose.....

Virgin Isle by MAC!


Mulain was with MU Virginia yesterday on a bikini photo-shoot (oh la la!) in Alibag, down the coast from Bombay...location was stunning...an old bungalow by the beach...surrounded by palms....blissful. But of course like most shoots...it was madly busy, crazy and hot! Our model Naina (a former beauty queen) was very patient with us while we poked, pinned, painted away. Thank god for our derma-palettes to create a long-lasting base in the heat, also the Urban Decay 'Stash' eye pencil. Wonderful products.....but Le Product of the day for Mulain was MAC's creme colour base called Virgin Isle ....which is a great multi-purpose item to have in your kit. It is a vivid coral/peach shade and looks just fantastique on Indian/darker skins.......lights up the face! Apply with a brush, sponge or fingers and blend away. Also can you use on the lips......this creme pot comes in other pro-MAC shades so pop into your local MAC store to investigate.

Rushing off to meetings galore today.....Natasha MU is shooting for Garnier again and will be doing water-proof make-up today...am sure she will write soon with tips and tricks for you all soon.

Ultimate Multi-tasker

Mulain knows we are all still being Recessionistas so is passing on tips on products and techniques to help you all in these trying times..... Madame Arden would be delighted to know her 8-hour Cream creation is a mu-st have in any make-up artiste's bag and is a great product to invest in. It's great for sunburn, glossy lips, repairing dry lips and dry skin anywhere on the body. Use it to keep unruly brows in shapes, to create a sheen on the cheekbones. A fabulous gloss on the eye-lids.....it is also great for 'posh sweat' when filming....run out of sweat jelly? Try 8 hour Cream instead! Works a treat, stays in place and is kind to the skin. It's an all-round winner, mu-ch like myself........Any other uses you have.....let Mulain and the fat mu team know.

Off to set I go...Mulain x

fat mu's 2-in-1 delights!

Mulain just loves Benefit!


Right Gals and Guys - listen up....the fat mu team trawled the shops and world wide web yesterday - facing the sweltering Bombay heat for all of you, searching for products that will make your lives easier in these busy, recession hit times.


So the word on the street is...

The new Stila website is up and running http://www.stilacosmetics.com/ with some fantastic 2-in-1 delights....Stila's Convertible Colour fab lipstick and blush-in-one is a must-have in your handbag for a quick fix, it brightens cheeks and lips with creamy, translucent colour...and with a couple of dabs and taps of your fingers you have rouged your cheeks and popped your pout - great colour range too.

And there's more....Stila's Contouring Trio - enhances, defines, shapes and soften your features - Mulain is convinced this little show-stopper is a make-up artist in one little box! Each compact comes with 3 shades, light (a high-lighting powder), dark (a low-lighting powder), flash (a soft neutral shimmer), and simple instructions on how to paint / structure your face. To quote Madonna 'strike a pose'!

An all-time favourite brand at fat mu HQ is of course our fabu-lous Benefit! www.benefitcosmetics.com. We always say that Benefit's Benetint is a marvel in a bottle - a beautiful tint for your cheeks and lips - so natural, one resembles a work of art...the Posie tint is also de-lightful and a pleasure to have around.

When on-the-go or in a mad rush you can also always rely on Benefit's Bad Gal black liner.....it is ahead of itself people.....you can get lots of looks out of this steal....slight smoke, sexy smoke, indulgent smoke, 60s smoke.... inside our eye or outside....also draw it on your lids for a cheat to shadow, smudge away and you can transform from Schiffer to Bardot to Alice Cooper! Meow.....Also great is the Benefit's No.10 - cheek bones in a box I tell you....'ighlighter and shadow in one little package - two sweeps with the enclosed little blush and you are chiselled to glory - Naomi eat your heart out.

For a rather topical 2-in-1 option.....there is a Bronzer + flu beater all in one!..Yes my friends seems they 'ave thought of everything - for those of you who are concerned with piggy 'flu and want to look 'Cannes-tanned ' at the same time then this may be the product for you.........Alva Couleur bronzer..... It contains a natural powder derived from yeast called Wellmune, found to help support the immune system. So while you're glowing on the outside, this will be absorbed into skin to protect you on the inside, too. Mu-st try that one.

So for you busy people of the world - hope our 2-in-1 product tips help you and keep you ready for action - wherever you are globe-trotting.
