All The CNY Limited Edition Beauty Drops To Have And To Hold

Who doesn’t want good hair with a touch of luck? If you’re looking to upgrade your blow dry, consider investing in Dyson’s CNY edition of the Supersonic, rocking a red colourway with a matching storage case you’ll even get to monogram. 

With a blend so beloved by every floral perfume aficionado that the brand has seen fit to dress up Good Girl in various skins (the high heel flacon has previously donned gold glitter and polka-dots), we now have one that comes with an exclusive CNY-decorated box. 

Inspired by the sell-out frenzy that was the Confession lipstick in the colour ‘At Night’, Hourglass has translated the alluring brick-red shade into a lip treatment oil that nourishes and repairs even as it imparts a coat of colour. Exclusive only to Asia, this limited edition lippie even has a 24k gold-plated and palladium applicator.

Hitting up both Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day with this drop, Lancome has taken its universally beloved shade in 196—nicknamed ‘carrot red’ for its burnt orange-red hue— and slipped it in a velvet lipstick case for that luxe look and feel. Bonus: it comes paired with a lacquer version nestled in an adorable heart-shaped kit. 

Smell as good as you look with Gucci’s signature Bloom fragrance, now given a new facet with a refined and intense depth. With the addition of Orris and Damascena Rose to enhance that oh-so-recognisable scent, you’ll have everyone asking what you’re wearing at every gathering and house visit. 

If you haven’t tried the cult moisturiser that is beauty queen Charlotte Tilbury’s secret blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides and floral oils to give your skin instant glow and a lifted appearance, why not grab yourself a jar—particularly when it’s rocking packaging in lucky red to boot?

We’re making the same argument here, especially if you’re on the hunt for an intensely pigmented matte lipstick in a gorgeous deep red that glides on comfortably and delivers a velvety pout that lasts. 

Nothing says you’re ready for CNY like a fresh-faced glow. Chock-full of lactic acid and brightening liquorice that helps to exfoliate and boost the complexion’s natural radiance, this multi-tasking concentrate is the perfect good skin-in-a-bottle treatment—and it even comes emblazoned with an adorable rat on the limited-edition red bottle.
