2021 is the year of the Ox; my year. So I might had gone a bit crazy trying to find a ton of year of the Ox products. Hey, it doesn't happen every year okay? lol
Colourpop released a more extensive collection this Lunar New Year than the one they released last year. I love the packaging for this! All the reds and golds just call me like the horizon calls Moana. Well, okay it doesn't call me that intensely, but you get the point.
And while the palette case is really cute the thing that bothers me is that it's not an actual palette it's just pressed shadows in a palette. I didn't bother to check if these were shades in their permanent collection -- please don't tell me if they are lol.
In the collection was also a lip kit, a lip mask and a few blushes. I don't wear blush so I never really reach for those. I haven't swatched the lip kit just yet either.
I recently posted a review of the other lip mask I had tried from Colourpop and wasn't too much a fan of. I still want to try this one and see if it's the same.
I'm glad I managed to snag a few products from this collection!
What's your Chinese Zodiac?
Happy year of The Pig!
This year we went and joined the Lunar New Year celebration like we did last year.
I'm not Chinese, even though most people who see/meet me think I am. Especially when my hair is long and dyed. Sorry to disappoint, I'm full Filipino!
But my mom has always had a habit of giving us red envelops for Chinese New Year growing up and I even have my own money tree from when I was a kid that she made for me and my brother.
I've never actually celebrated Chinese New Year or saw any real life celebrations because I was in Florida for 5 years and pffft they have ZERO diversity or any notion to welcome other cultures. Surprisingly not even the China Pavilion in EPCOT celebrated! Though I saw this year DisneyLAND did throw a celebration party and it looked epic.
I was scrolling through IG (as I do, a lot --- #shamelessplug follow our IG @pxa.hxj) and I saw an Asian Market plaza we recently discovered was doing weekend celebrations and Sunday was the last day.
So, we went!
