17 Lunar New Year Beauty Products That'll Help You Celebrate With A Pamper Sesh
Much like we celebrate the New Year here in the U.S., the Lunar New Year is a cause for major celebration across Asia. And though I'm personally suffering from serious FOMO because I can't join in on the celebratory festivities overseas, there's still a way for me to enjoy in my own way at home. And since I'm the biggest beauty junkie I know, I'm pumped that the Year of the Pig comes with a slew of new Lunar New Year beauty products that are sure to bring old-world charm to all our vanities.
If the ancient Chinese tradition isn't rooted in your heritage, there are still ways to honor Chinese culture and infuse your year (and your beauty routine) with good fortune. Whether you fancy yourself a skincare enthusiast, a makeup addict, or a hair-care aficionado, you can still find a way to shop the prettiest limited-edition Chinese New Year beauty products that get you in the mood to celebrate the Year of the Pig. From adorable pig-inspired packaging to luxe red- and gold-colored products, these are all the beauty buys you need to ring in the new year, lunar style. They're almost — almost — too cute to use.
