 Big businesses and corporations aren’t the only ones feeling the effects of India as a growing superpower of a country.
Hollywood, fashion, music and beauty have been enticed by the sultry allure of Bollywood — one only need look at Gwen Stefani’s use of the bindi in the late 90s, Indian actress-model-Miss Universe Aishwarya Rai as L’Oreal spokeswoman, OPI’s India Collection of nail polish, Devendra Banhart’s music video for his song “Carmensita” and butter chicken ranking high on take-out dinner preferences.

 Say it ain’t so.
Summer is thisclose to drawing to a close, signaling the beginning of the end of tans, lazy days near the ocean, popsicles and that perfectly wind-swept hair from afternoons on the beach.
The one good thing is that salt water from dipping into the ocean will no longer wreak havoc on your tresses, but in case the damage is already done, you might want to invest in a jar of Fango Hair & Scalp Mask from Italian brand Borghese.

 Increased interest in pin-up girls, glamour shots and burlesque can be attributed to the lovely Miss Dita von Teese, a modern day pin-up gal who single-handedly brought back the coquettish sexiness that came with hourglass figures, blood red lips, swiveling hips and come-hither eyes.
 Givenchy is more well-known for its collection of perfumes and haute couture masterminded by Riccardo Tisci, not mascara.
 Bobbi Brown — star makeup artist, owner of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and creator of the best ever Shimmer Lip Gloss (I personally went through three tubes of the Nude shade in four months) — is also apparently a staunch democrat.

 Jemma Kidd — little sister to model Jodie Kidd — married British royalty (her hubby is Arthur Wellesley, Earl of Mornington), opened up a makeup school and launched an wildly successful, eponymous makeup collection.
Not too shabby.
 The hottest of the four seasons means many, many happy-inducing things: sand and surf, tans, vacations, ice cream, dresses, gladiator sandals, beach-y hair, drinks on patios, BBQs, cruiser bikes and a carefree, insouciant attitude to life in general.
It also means the warmer clime makes your sebaceous glands go into overdrive, giving you a shine that says more oil-patch kid than bronzed glamazon.
 I predict brown or green-eyed ladies will go beserk for this new mascara hue — apply it as a full color for fun or apply it over regular mascara just at the eyelash tips for an eye-brightening effect.
