Wonder product!


This wonder products we MU's recently discovered at Clarins is great for all of us who are getting on in life or have had too much sun.

Instant smooth perfecting touch - gives exactly what the product claims.... instant smoothness!

A balm of sorts, which you smooth over your face prior to make-up application to fill in and smooth out any lines and creases temporarily. Worth checking out - a lot cheaper than botox with no side effects!! .... and it works!!! Within reason of course........Try it.

Trending - Spring / Summer 2011





Glitter is back!..... and so is colour! woo hoo!! Trending at London Fashion Week , glitter a la the Seventies saw a comeback on the catwalks .

Starting with nails either wholly dipped for full on sparkle or just delicately tipped for a slight edge.... glitter edges its way up onto the face to compliment smokey eyes with a touch of bright sparkle on the inner corners or for a full on wow factor on the entire eye! Take it all the way up to the brow, use just as an eyeline, or combine with a rocker edge on the lower lash line.... whatever takes your fancy.... have fun with it....!!

Also back in for next season is COLOUR!! lots of it from bright citrus-y sorbet colours to yummy pretty pastels..... think Spring flowers and Summer fruits.... all sorts .... lots of colour on the cheeks, eyes, lips, nails.... a nice refreshing change from the bleak starkness of the winter trends....

So think colour, think disco, think seventies my darlings.............Mx

Gaga over meat



Mulain was a leetle shocked today when he saw this image of Lady Gaga wearing an outfit made of meat at the MTV music awards.
Apparently the singer's stylist commisioned an L.A. based designer who made this outfit with 50 pounds of sirloin wrapped around a corset and to add to it she had a meat clutch and note the shoes and headdress too!
Mulain is not sure if he is too happy about this... we know Lady Gaga is outrageous in her style and thats what we all love her for but this might be taking it a bit far non?

Her reason:' if we don't stand up for what we believe in, if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones'.

ummm... not sure if that got the message across........ or did it?! any comments?

Rihanna's new look with Eminem - watch them burn!



Rihanna is smokin'....





The happy couple...Megan Fox also looks lovely in video...natural and sexy...



Love, love, love x 1000000000000000000000000 Eminem's new video featuring Rihanna.....super cool to see him back on top....new look for him, goodbye blonde hello brunette....Mulain likes.....great song plus we have super cool Mademoiselle Rihanna as the icing on the cake....."I love the way you lie".....Well young lady...Mulain loves the way you look in this vid. Red hair, RED nails, charcoal smokey eyes and wow-factor light gloss for the lips....Rihanna can get away with anything I think....want the look....let's go luxury......
EYES - Giorgio Armani's eyeshadow duo Manta Ray...fabulous texture and good colour combinations.
LIPS - Christian Dior's Lip Addict maximising glosses...big, bold and totally out there.
NAIL - Chanel's 'Dragon' red should do the trick here 'Le Vernis'.
So smoke those eyes (you 'll need a good black pencil here, plus mascara and lashes, try a Dior or YSL here)....this is a show-stopper look so go for it I say....watch the them sing their stuff with such passion and you'll get totally inspired to get the look.
Enjoy....

Golding leafing Hi! Blitz shoot with Lara Dutta














Mulain and the MUs have been awaiting the launch of the September issue of Hi! Blitz to see how their Ajanta themed / gold-leafing body art shoot went. See shoot above. It's very different to how we wanted....and unfortunately the magazine ran out of time to do the necessary post to make the images look like Ajanta paintings. So...we are a little heavy-hearted at this end as we have worked towards this shoot for months....so much prep plus the actually day of shoot the make-up, hair and body art took 5 hours!!!! Natasha MU did n't stop to take breath getting the gold leaf and patterns and shapes on, while getting the body airbrushed too! MU Virginia worked side by side creating elaborate hair styles to match each change....and MUs Xavier and Pooja flanked them in creative support....anyway...onwards and upwards...there are more shoots to do...do let us know what you think my friends of this shoot?
And any questions about gold-leafing...ask away!
