4. Kate Somerville Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Serum
We’re big fans of Kate Somerville products here at Sassy. Not only do they smell and feel nice on your skin, but they actually work! These products deliver on results so we don’t doubt that the new Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Serum will iron out those pesky lines. The lightweight serum uses revolutionary Telo-5™ Technology to give you a firm, youthful complexion… who doesn’t want soft, smooth skin? Snap up this new line this September to test it out.

5. Miles of Happiness Mini Bus Illustration
We can’t tell you how much we adore the illustrations of the talented Marie Pottiez (check out our article on her in our Sassy Wedding section here!). Her detailed depictions of dreamy destinations are sure to inspire your sense of wanderlust, and we are super excited to share news of her new online shop! Now you can snap up your favourite illustrations with just the click of a button and they’ll be hand-delivered by Marie herself. We’re coveting this cute framed illustration of Hong Kong’s iconic red mini-buses which perfectly captures the frenetic city streets!

Available for $30 (USD) – around $232.50 HKD – online here.

6. Cath Kidston Oxford Rose Backpack
As we slip into autumn we can’t help falling in love with the warmer, darker hues that have flooded into all the stores. Top on our list for fall fashion has got to be British brand Cath Kidston and the new ‘Turn Over a New Leaf’ collection. Think prints of falling leaves, woodland floral designs, vintage inspiration and unusual colours. We loved the big, bold painterly ‘Oxford Rose’ pattern, which is ideal for transferring easily from summer to autumn. The Handbag Backpack turns a practical accessory into a pretty addition to your wardrobe, ideal for weekend getaways!

Available for $850 at any Cath Kidston store in Hong Kong. See all Hong Kong stores here. 

7. By Terry Light-Expert Click Brush
It’s not just fashion brands that are introducing new collections for fall – make-up brands are releasing brand new products to get you all dolled up for the winter season. French make-up brand By Terry is the leader of the pack with a host of exciting new products and gorgeous palettes in autumnal hues… but what sticks out to us is the innovative ‘Light-Expert Click Brush‘. With just a simple click, four dots of foundation emerge from the brush which you can then apply with ease. This foundation brush gives ‘convenient’ a whole new meaning and makes blending foundation and creating a flawless complexion easier than ever – a must-have product in our books!

Available for $655/19.5ml at By Terry counters in Hong Kong (Lane Crawford, JOYCE Beauty). 

8. UGG Bling and Constellation Collection
It might not be cold enough in Hongkers yet to justify wearing a full blown pair of snuggly UGG boots, but the new UGG collection has more than just boots and slippers. The Bling and Constellation Collection features a casual, smoking slipper style in three different colours that’s studded with Swavorski crystals. Choose from black, navy or granite suede with Italian leather details and a unique, constellation crystal design inspired by the night sky of Yosemite… simply stunning! You would never even know that these sparkly flats are UGGs and they are perfect for wearing around town in the current temperature.

Available for $1,490 at all UGG stores in Hong Kong – see locations in HK here.
