11 limited edition holiday products for a year-end treat

Who doesn't love ending the year on a high? And, thanks to these beauty brands, we'll be looking and feeling great once December rolls round.

Whether it's limited edition beauty sets, special editions of much-loved products or new incarnations of all-time favourites, these are the products you need to add to your shopping cart either physically or virtually.

Chanel N°5 limited edition

Did you know that N°5 was invented in 1921? That's exactly 100 years ago that Gabrielle Chanel came up with this iconic scent. To celebrate its 100 years of celebrity, Chanel has created a new and unique version of N°5 Eau de Parfum. And it's a modern marvel too.

The bottle incorporates recycled glass, while still keeping its incomparably pure, sparkling, transparent look. It's created in partnership with Pochet du Courval, a Living Heritage Company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), using an innovative recycling technology.

Additionally, the box is made with biodegradable paper pulp and beautifully enfolds the legendary bottle. 100 years later and the brand is still making history, one perfume bottle at a time.

Available on the Chanel Fragrance and Beauty E-Shop, sg-eshop.chanel.com and at Chanel Fragrance and Beauty boutiques and counters.

Limited edition Rouge Dior Minaudiere

This lipstick set is a nod to a bygone era when Christian Dior offered these minaudieres in its avenue Montaigne boutique to women, who used them to house essentials such as lipstick and powder. Rouge Dior Minaudiere ($280) houses the iconic Rouge Dior lipstick and three refills.

There's a case and a detachable lipstick holder, which serious fashionistas can carry as a make-up clutch in the hand or on the shoulder, thanks to its long chain.

The metallic golden case has an engraving of the 30 Avenue Montaigne boutique's iconic façade, and the bullet is engraved with the famous Christian Dior logo.

What's inside the case is just as impressive — a mirror and three lipstick refills so you can play around with the colours created for the season. Pink Rose is in a vintage satiny pink, Red Pansy is a festive matte red-brown, and Winter Poppy has a velvet finish.

Available at all Dior Beauty boutiques and counters and at the Dior Beauty Online Boutique.
