The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco

Fairmont1 The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco

On Wednesday I went to The Fairmont Hotel for the first time (!!) ever in San Francisco for high tea with a friend. We had done high tea at The Ritz in SF before, and wanted to try something new. This hotel was made famous in the 1980′s by Aaron Spelling because it was featured in his night-time soap opera, Hotel. I used to watch that (along with Dynasty and Knot’s Landing) icon smile The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco

MAC Stylishly Yours Collection Swatches & Review

MAC Stylishly Yours MAC Stylishly Yours Collection Swatches & Review

It’s been a serious flurry of MAC-ness lately hasn’t it? Well I’ve got one more collection for ya for 2010!

MAC Stylishly Yours is a bright colorful collection created in order to give some “oopmh” into your modern life.

While the colors look extremely bright and perhaps a little extreme in the containers, I found most of them surprisingly wearable and more subdued on the skin.

I am getting a strong “Mad Men” vibe from this collection for some reason, I think it’s from the fabulous lipsticks. icon smile MAC Stylishly Yours Collection Swatches & Review

Cream Colour Base ($16.50)

  • Virgin Isle – vivid bright coral (cream)
  • Tickle Me Pink – poppy creamy bright pink (cream)

MAC Cham Pale Collection for Winter 2011

MAC Cham Pale MAC Cham Pale Collection for Winter 2011

MAC Cham Pale has entered the building! Cham Pale is a new fairly large-ish collection (though nothing compared to Venomous Villains) for winter 2011.

It features a variety of new (and some old) products that span the shimmery nude/pink/peach color range.

Interestingly I was SO interested in this when I first saw promo shots, which is very much unlike me. Normally I like a little more color in my life, but this collection spoke to me right away.

I think it’s because of the shimmer involved. These aren’t boring nude eyeshadows and glosses that just disappear into the skin upon application. They are metallic and sparkly and that will get me every time! icon smile MAC Cham Pale Collection for Winter 2011

Let’s take a peek at the whole collection details:

Studio Fix Lash Black Fix – black ($14)

Special Reserve Highlight Powder ($28)

  • Chez Chez Lamé – soft gold with silver shimmer
  • Rosé Ole - soft pink with gold shimmer

Eye Kohl I Get No Kick – metallic nude  ($14.50)
