每逢隆重的節日，許多美妝品牌會推出節日限量款產品，為每日的使用增添了新意的節日色彩。2019年底，我們精選了幾款令人期待的中國風春節特別版美妝，與你分享。

For Lunar New Year, many beauty brands will reveal special edition products. As we approach the end of 2019, we share 7 of the most anticipated Asian-inspired beauty products and our opinion on some of the designs!

Disclaimer: Some products have been gifted to us but our opinion remains objective.

「美與福氣」是 Nars 新春特別版美妝的主題，限定系列的紅色金屬外殼上印著灑脫的金色筆畫設計，渾身散發著明亮的金屬光澤。Afterglow Lip Balm 的 NUITS DE CHINE 號色有著很能顯氣色的透明紅色，滋潤雙唇的同時，Nars 的願望更是讓好運眷顧風格鮮明的你！

定價：C$37

NARS lip balms are one of our favourites. This limited edition design takes inspiration from Chinese calligraphy brushstrokes to create a radiant look. This shade NUITS DE CHINE is more of a sheer red and applies extremely smoothly. Not a fan of red? They also have a pink shade with the same limited edition red and gold design. 

嬌蘭的春節限量款美妝彷彿穿上了紅色天鵝絨外衣，充滿了濃郁的節日氣息！

For Lunar New Year, Guerlain adapts their iconic line up with a deep red twist. Our personal favourite is their Rouge G lipstick collection with interchangeable and customizable cases. Environmentally-friendly, we enjoy the rich formula and colour pay-off.

在這個特別的節日，嬌蘭重現了經典的流星粉球，盒蓋上經典的花朵設計融入了中國風，彷彿讓人能夠透過一紙窗花看到金色燦爛的新年願景。

Another best-seller, Guerlain’s Météorites powder pearls is given a touch of red. The floral design complimented by the rouge colour casing reminds us of the paper cut designs hung at home or displayed on windows during the Lunar New Year!

Erno Laszlo 的新春版禮盒設計採用了傳統的紋飾和风格强烈的毛筆筆劃，以现代的手法表达出传统的韵味。

定價：C$205

Echoing the brushstroke theme of Asian-inspired products, this Erno Laszio line keeps the design simple and safe. A small nod to culture with some of their best detox products inside, we trust it will be popular but we would have loved to see something more adventurous and exciting!

M.A.C. 的 Lunar Illusions 系列不只是「中國風」這樣簡單，而是要「將你喜愛的產品從過去帶進未來」，正如品牌的化妝藝術經理 Regan Rabanal 所述，「改變是好的，但並不容易⋯⋯這個系列給我帶來了創作既經典、又有未來感的妝容的靈感。」包裝設計結合了來自故宮園林的紋飾，與跳躍的波普色彩，你認為這個系列是有未來感呢，還是充滿了更多趣味？

定價：Powder Blush Duo C$34; Lipstick C$24

In 2020, Chinese-inspired beauty from the always-innovative M.A.C. takes a futuristic turn. Senior Manager of Make-Up Artistry, Regan Rabanal is proud of this creative collection which includes colourful designs based on shapes and shades found in imperial Chinese architecture. We particularly love the Powder Blush Duo with its engraved case with Asian-inspired details!

法爾曼在這個新年推出了十分隆重的超大裝90ml注氧面霜，朦朧白色的簡約設計與金色logo完美體現了法爾曼「純淨」與「氧氣」的護膚理念！

定價：C$525

Valmont stands out from the crowd with their limited edition DetO2x cream in a rich white. Their take? The focus on oxygen and nature in their collection symbolizes purity and the small youthful jar, joyfulness.

Their brand is known mainly for their clean white and green look, and their Lunar New Year collection did not depart from their core colours. But we don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing since they’ve told an original story for this cream in relation to the Lunar New Year — a fresh and joyful start to 2020! This limited edition jar and cream will surely make a wonderful gift.

這款春節特別版口紅禮盒延續了香奈兒一向的大方與沈穩的風格。Rouge Allure Velvet 57 Rouge Vie 號色擁有著濃烈的紅色啞光質地，限量版口紅的外殼選用了正紅色 — 既是香奈兒的標識性经典色，也是幸運的象徵。

定價：C$142，更多詳情請見 Holt Renfrew 官網。

CHANEL decided to take two popular shades in the Rouge Allure Velvet line and a unique 57 Rouge Vie shade in order to create this elegant box set for Lunar New Year. The matte finish of their lipsticks is stunning and a top pick for those who prefer non-creamy formulas on their lips and we are looking forward to this special shade!

Although the we love the simple and clean packaging, we thought they could have done something more inspired for the design, like their Christmas Holiday collection, which  displayed their classic fragrances with mini-Chanel boxes as part of a snowy scene. We hope that Chanel brings something more creative next year!
