The time between Christmas and New Years Day is very strange. You’re half working, a lot eating and scrolling through a ton of online sales (just me?). Not a ton is new new during this time of year—except some killer Lunar New Year products. M.A.C.’s Lunar New Year collection for 2020 (The Year of the Rat) has some of the most beautiful packaging from all the lines dropping this week. And there are many.
These aren’t new M.A.C. products but instead, best-selling Lipstick, Lipglass, Eye Shadow and Powder Blush shades reimagined into limited-edition prismatic packaging in a collection called Lunar Illusions. Instead of using the rat symbol like many other brands (including Sunday Riley), M.A.C. borrowed colors from traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. Festive red and gold takes center stage.
Shop the collection, below, and get ready to celebrate January 25.
