MAC Cosmetics Lunar Luck Collection - Chinese New Year 2022 Limited Edition

I have to say – MAC Cosmetics is always killing it when it comes to limited edition releases. Since I always love their formulas to begin with, I always get so excited when something new drops: whether it’s because of the pretty packaging or exclusive shades. This year’s Lunar New Year collection didn’t disappoint at all! The Lunar Luck Collection featured a range of lip, cheek and eye products in new shades and incredible, Year of the Tiger inspired packaging.

Although it’s a bit late now, I wanted to show the pieces that I got from this collection. Most of these are still available on the MAC Cosmetics website but only while stocks last, so jump on quick if you still want to pick them up!

All-Time Favourite Make Up Products to Rebuild Your Collection

Please note that referral and/or affiliate links are used in this post.

We’ve all thought about it: what if our entire make up collection just disappeared one day? I actually think it’s useful to consider this (hopefully) hypothetical situation as it helps to hone in on the best of the best. This is a list of my favourite Western Make Up products in every category – things that I would repurchase in a heartbeat. Hopefully, this is useful for people looking to simplify their routine, declutter their life or even make up beginners who don’t have where to start.

Let me know what you think in the comments and if you end up checking any of these out! I may also put together some skincare and k-beauty lists in the future.

10 Gorgeous Make Up Products - Beauty Feature Article

Please note that referral and/or affiliate links are used in this post.

The beauty industry moves fast and there are new release products coming out almost every day. With the prominence of social media, it’s also impossible to deny how important packaging is. Whilst the actual formula and product is still the most important, you can’t have a successful product unless you’re nice to look at too! That’s my opinion anyway.

In this list, I’ll be sharing with you some gorgeous packaging and also why I love them (from both a designer and consumer perspective). Consider this a gift guide or even a shopping guide for when you’re wanting to make your next purchase.

As reference, I love packaging design that is unique, speaks well to the brand identity but is also practical and highly functional. So, don’t expect me to be listing pizza shapes eyeshadow palettes or chunky, cat paw lipsticks though – no one has the time (or vanity space) for that!

It’s that time of the year again – holiday releases are coming. I’ve been keeping an eye on some of these launches and, while some brands have slacked off a little in 2020 (understandable given how the pandemic has impacted everything), there are still a lot of great ones! From celebratory eyeshadow palettes to brilliant skincare sets – there’s so much to choose from.

It would be exhaustive to include absolutely everything, so this article mostly features things that I’m personally interested in trying or think would be a great gift option. Most, if not all, of these will be beauty related and available either in Australian stockists or online – all information which you will find here, of course.

Please note that this list is also being updated as new announcements are made so let me know if there’s a brand or release you think I should add in!

Now let’s start shopping!

Review: MAC Patrick Starrr Holiday Collection – Lipstick (Spank Me Santa & Slay Ride)

Patrickstarrr x MAC Cosmetics Holiday 2018 Lipsticks Beauty Review

Christmas has just passed us but I have one more post to write about the MAC x Patrickstarrr collaboration so I’m speeding through it tonight! I’m sure that these will be available for a little while longer but they’re definitely limited to the Christmas season, so you’ll need to rush in to get these before they’re totally gone.

These are from the fourth and final collaboration with Youtube star (and incredible make up artist) Patrick Starr – Sleigh Ride, perfectly red and shimmery for this holiday season. The full collection includes three lipsticks, five dazzleglass shades, two eyeshadow palettes, three loose pigments, a mineralise skinfinish and the hyped patrick’s powder. Naturally, I wanted to get everything but I’m on a mission not to spend my life’s savings so I cut it down to what I love the best from MAC Cosmetics – their bullet lipsticks!

I got myself two out of the three shades from the collection and they’re honestly so perfect for me! Here we have Spank Me Santa and Slay Ride – a dusty rose brown and a bright pinkish red. I’ve been wearing them obsessively since I got them so, click on for photos, swatches and a review of my two new favourite shades!
