One of the highlights of the festive season has to be the range of holiday beauty products in store. Besides being gorgeous and fun to use, they come in soiree-worthy cases that are perfect as party clutches or as purses for the upcoming Chinese New Year season!

M.A.C A Taste of Matte Lipsticks, Destined for Stardom, $99

M.A.C welcomes the festive season with brand-new sparkling shades and glitzy products. This holiday-exclusive lip kit contains full-sized Matte Lipstick and Retro Matte Lipstick in five limited edition shades and a best-selling shade “wave”. They come in a keepsake box that doubles as a party-ready clutch. Available at M.A.C stores, and online at Lazada, Sephora, Tangs and Metro.

Dior Rouge Dior Minaudiere, $350

Dior’s holiday collection transports us to the Chateau de la Colle Noire, Christian Dior’s home away from Paris. Imagine being there on a starlit winter night – you’ll need glimmering products to match. The limited edition Rouge Dior comes in four shades and is infused with floral lip care – as if having a long-wear formula isn’t enticing enough. Enchanted Pink is a satiny coral, Midnight Rose is a spellbinding rosewood, Mystic Plum is a mysterious matte plum, and Rouge 999 has a velvet finish. The icing on this festive cake is the Rouge Dior Minaudiere that pays tribute to one of the House’s iconic colours. Take out the removable lipstick holder – which has three refills – and use it as a clutch. Available at Dior Beauty Boutiques and Counters, Dior Beauty Online Boutique, Sephora Ion Orchard, and Sephora.sg.

Christian Louboutin Teint Fetiche le Cushion Foundation and Case, $92 for refill, $108 for case (charms sold separately)

This refillable, Teint Fetiche Le Cushion case is in a luxurious colour inspired by Christian Louboutin’s iconic shade of red. It’s not just the striking colour that’s beautiful, a hand-embroidered patch gives it a regal look. Choose from a range of five shades to insert into this empty case, or you could just use this as a coin pouch or party bag. Available at Tangs.
