Valentine’s Day limited-edition fragrance 3. Diptyque Roses Limited-Edition Classic Candle
A beautiful scent really can leave a lasting impression. For Valentine’s Day, the brand has given its classic Roses scented candle new illustrated packaging.

Valentine’s Day limited-edition set 4. fwee Lunar New Year Romance Limited-Edition Set
For the holiday season, fwee has launched a new limited-edition Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot collection, featuring two Olive Young commemorative shades, Bunny and Vanilla, alongside popular shades Without, Baby, My, and Lyrics, for a sweet festive look that’s all your own. Bunny is a striking pink with a hint of frosted sweetness, creating a “dopamine” mood in one swipe. Vanilla draws on the brand’s popular 3D Voluming Gloss 70% Vanilla, with a dewy nude-pink shade that gives a subtle, soft glow. It’s especially suited to everyday wear and warm skin tones; tap it onto lips and cheeks for a Korean-style filtered look.
Also available at the same time, Hong Kong’s fwee Agit stores are launching a 3D Glass Lips gloss set. It pairs complexion-brightening Rosehip with a full-size 70% Yogurt, a popular cool pink shade. One is deeper and one lighter; one sweet and one fresh. Worn alone, they create a glossy, plumped-lip look, while layering them over the Pudding Pot adds more dimensional, glass-like shine to your Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day makeup. From now through February 22, the stores will also offer a range of events and promotions, so don’t miss out!
Lunar New Year limited-edition collections
New makeup for the New Year doesn’t just lift your mood; it also feels like setting out on a new journey, with all the ritual that comes with it!
Year of the Horse limited-edition makeup 1. BOBBI BROWN “Golden Steed Elegant Shadow” Cushion Foundation
BOBBI BROWN’s packaging is especially festive this time around! Classic paper-cut art meets a galloping horse motif, making even a quick touch-up feel powerful. This cushion foundation contains cordyceps repair essence and hyaluronic acid to moisturize and care for skin, while SPF 40 makes it well suited to everyday use. It gives a dewy, luminous “no-makeup makeup” finish and wears for up to 8 hours without easily caking, as if your skin has its own glow. It’ll hold up beautifully in photos at Lunar New Year gatherings.
Year of the Horse limited-edition makeup 2. TOM FORD BEAUTY Disco Dust Eye Color Quad
Love an eye look that’s soft yet striking? This #20 Disco Dust palette is seriously gorgeous! Built around the reddish-purple tones of ripe figs, it includes four finishes: fine shimmer, satin, pearl, and matte, so you can layer them into different looks depending on your mood. A light shade as a base creates a soft everyday look, while deeper shades at night turn it into a captivating subtle smoky eye. The powder is smooth and doesn’t fall out, making it perfect for winning hearts on Lunar New Year dates.
Year of the Horse limited-edition skincare 3. Clé de Peau Beauté “Radiant Galloping Steed” The Serum
This is skincare that’s practically an artwork! The bottle features the “Dalu” motif of a galloping horse, symbolizing renewing energy for firmer skin. Its watery, silky texture absorbs as soon as you spread it over skin, helping activate skin cells’ self-repairing abilities and boosting the benefits of the skincare that follows. The brand says continued use can leave skin looking more luminous, with smoother lines and a bouncy feel. It’s ideal as a lucky first step for the New Year, giving skin a diamond-like glow.
Year of the Horse limited-edition body care 4. Lush Galloping Horse Gift Set
For Lunar New Year, it’s not just your face that should look good – bath time should feel special too. This gift set includes the “Sunrise Dawn Shower Gel” and “Success at First Gallop Bath Bomb.” The Sicilian lemon essential oil has a fresh, energizing scent, and as you watch the bath bomb dissolve into red-orange swirls, it resembles a galloping horse in water, symbolizing abundant good fortune. Step out soft and sweetly scented, get a good night’s sleep, and welcome the New Year!
Year of the Horse limited-edition fragrance 5. Byredo Coming Home Collection
Inspired by “coming home,” the brand has launched its “Coming Home” Lunar New Year collection.
