Beauty news: Lancôme celebrates Year of the Dog

For the Chinese zodiac, February 16, 2018 begins the Year of the Dog, the zodiac animal that best embodies loyalty. The 11th sign of the Chinese zodiac, a person born under the sign of the Dog is sympathetic and intelligent. If you benefit from their friendship or love, a Dog will never disappoint you. How gorgeous is that? Honest, faithful and a little bit jealous, the Dog is also irascible in nature whenever he or she lets themselves be won over by anguish and pessimism, or when their habits are upset. In the professional world, the Dog is often a lawyer, judge, police officer, teacher, educator, priest, doctor, philosopher, critic or writer.

But back to beauty. This year Lancôme is celebrating Chinese New Year with some very special, limited edition versions of a few of their star products. Two shades in the famous L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick line come packaged in red, with a red lacquered cap adorned with a dog to remind us of loyalty. The two shades available wearing this opulent costume are the classic 178 Rouge Vintage (a perfect matte) and 368 Rose Lancôme (a statement cream), RRP $60.00.

There is also the gorgeous, super sized 100ml Chinese New Year Genifique Serum, which sees the iconic must have’s bottle and outerbox dressed up in red and starring the Lancôme dog. Suggested retail for this beauty is $295.00, and I predict that fans will go mad for it.

Also pictured in the festive visual above featuring spokesmodel Taylor Hill and the CUTEST puppy is a limited edition cushion, but alas, that’s not available in New Zealand. Shopping trip to Shanghai, anyone?
