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..

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
