August Picks!

August 25, 2014

I know very much you all cannot wait for my picks for this month. This should be up the first 2 weeks of August but hmmm I am sorry it is only available now, as there are more I wanted to share with you earlier this month - but here we are! You can get my glimpse of August!

1. Liebeskind Esther Satchel http://fave.co/1t1QFIm

Hello hello, so I am finally sharing my new bag I got which I had been thinking over for several months now. If you have read my last post, I hope you have, about my shopping dilemma - this is the one! So I have been thinking and what really inspired me is the good leather, the nice inner lining, the greatness with inner zippers/pockets, lightweight for its size. I have done a lot of research about this and Liebeskind are well known for its soft leather bags. My only hesitation is its weight and how it looks while you are carrying it - I was not able to get any image of people with this bag on shoulder or on hand - but it turns out is not too bad. I just need to get extra leather holes for the shoulder strap! I already tried stuffing my mac book pro in it and it is definitely a bag that doesn't look too big but able to fit everything in! If you are also a Liebeskind friend - let me know pls!

2. Taping Taping Taping

I had been waiting for this tape with paris images all over it to get back to stock and finally it is back! I would say I am not an overboard taping collector but I really like this one as it shares some good memories in my trip to UK a few years ago. It would be handy for notes and bookmarking when needed. It is currently on a visible spot on my desk! Yay!

3. Diptyque - Eau Moheli (sample) http://fave.co/1t1S4P3

Ok I had this Diptyque sample fragrance stashed away for so long. I believe I got it a few years ago with an invitation etc. I did test it and I thought it was not for me, back in those days. Lately I am decluttering and got this back in the air. A positive note is, I finally understand why there are so many Diptyque fans around the world, on second trial, I really luv this scent.

It is a more scent with series of different notes. For me, I find this refreshing as well as bringing me back in the woods along with ylang ylang and spices. It is something I had not own or tried before and I would definitely get to try their candle and fragrance next - they are super costly though! ><

4. Sofina UV Cut Emulsion

This had been my staple products for its light weight and great under make up sunscreen! Of cos I am using it as a primer as well so to avoid stacking too many products over this hot summer! Do check out my last sharing on this, link here

5. Try Me Hope and Faith Ring http://fave.co/1seUwOc

I am pretty sure you are well aware I luv this Thailand brand of jewllery, Try Me, to a point I had acted as their wholesale distributor which you will find them on my website (Isutave>shop) I luv this particular ring as it shows on one side as HOPE and the other as FAITH, don't we all need this for everyday?

6. Rose Quartz Ring from Number 9 (HK)

So I am a serious fan in crystal rings, I had actually lost one I believe at a toilet cubicle. Very stupid of me because I removed it to wash my hand, and I still missing it badly till today! I was not able to find the exact same thing! But I had got this rose quartz ring, not as a replacement but good for both everyday and parties! I got this from a jewellery shop called Number 9 at Causeway Bay! I luv a ring with a big quartz - and they are harder and harder to find thesedays. If you do have good brands you can recommend pls let me know!

7. Antipodes Anti-Ageing Minis

Okay I blogged over this so won't be a hassle for now. This is definitely another staple item for me this month for my night routine. It had brought back some glow into my skin. For more check out my last post here.

8. Antipodes Moisture Boost Minis

I am trying these out this month and expecting to blog about it this week as well. So if you are keen to know what it does to me, watch this space this Wednesday!
