NARS 2021 Chinese New Year Collection
I've procrastinated so much regarding this post and these images. I wasn't happy with the photos I took last year, so reshot them this week...still wasn't happy, but now I've looked at the stock photos, I can see the brand also had issues with getting the colours correct. Actually mine are a lot closer, so panic over! Okay, last week for my Chinese New Year special, I posted the Bobbi Brown 2021 Stroke Of Luck collection and today I have another one from last year.

In the third of my special Flashback Beauty Friday posts leading up to Chinese New Year, I'm focusing on the 2021 Bobbi Brown collection. Here's my MAC, Moon Masterpiece post from last week if you missed it.

Throughout January I'm sharing some of my limited edition makeup items from past Lunar New Year collections for Flashback Beauty Friday. As I said last week, most beauty brands these days do something to celebrate and over the past few years, I've really loved these collections. Last week, I chose the marbled Givenchy lipstick and today I have the MAC release from last year.

I hope you enjoyed Festive Beauty during December, whilst Flashback Beauty Friday took a break. I thought I'd kind of combine the two for January with a look back at limited edition pieces from Chinese New Year collections. Most beauty brands these days do something special to celebrate the Lunar New Year, whether that's their regular skincare line in special packaging or limited edition makeup releases. If I'm really honest, in the past few years I've looked forward to these collections more than the festive Christmas launches which have been becoming a bit tired. None of the items date back too far, but hopefully it'll still be of interest for you to see.
