MAC Chenman in the Mail

Last week I instagramed (@confashions) that I've received samples from M.A.C cosmetic's latest release, MAC Chenman collection. Apparently, the collection is based on Chen Man, one of China's most celebrated fashion photographers. She got her start taking a bunch of cover photos for the Shanghai based fashion magazine, Vision. She is also a regular contributor to the Chinese publications in Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Esquire. To be honest, I haven't heard of her until I received this collection. And I was very impressed by her bio. OK, so back to the MAC Chenman collection, the packaging of course is lovely. And as always, the first thing that always attracts me to MAC's special edition collections. Here's a brief review of what I thought of the samples...

Beauty powder "Play it proper".. nice but was too light for my skin tone, needs a lighter skin tone I guess

I liked the color combination of this Mineralize eyeshadow called "Pink Union". It has a mix of lavender, shimmery pink and dark purple. I blended them together on my eyelids and they made a nice toned-down purple shade with a hint of shimmer. 

Budding Love lip glass Lip gloss.. it gives a barely-there shade of pink... nice for the Summer

Reflects Glitter was too messy for my taste, so I'm not a huge fan of this one, I think only a tiny small dab is used on darker matte eye shadows to give a hint of sparkle..

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
