September Favourites '2013

1. BUBBLEGUM LIP SCRUB FROM LUSH

I get chapped lips all the time because I always forget to drink enough water. The people at the LUSH store told me this product can help to remove all the dead skin on my lips so I decided to give it a try. It works extremely well, I just take a pinch of the product and rub it into my lips, the dead skin really comes off.  And you can lick the product off too, it tastes just like bubblegum. I've been slightly addicted to this because I am a total bubblegum maniac.

2. OWL EGG LIP BALM (PEACH) FROM ETUDE HOUSE

As I've mentioned, I always get chapped lips. So I've been using this lip balm a lot this September to help to deal with the terrible state of my lips. This smells so good and don't you agree the packaging is super adorable ?

3. HAIR MASK FROM LOREAL

I've noticed my hair getting all dry lately so I decided to try out hair masks. I wasn't expecting a lot, I thought it would work just like a conditioner. But I was surprised that it turned out more effective than conditioners. You just wet your hair (or you can do it after showering) and put this mask all over you hair, and leave it on for 7-10mins, then wash it off. I've been using it for a few weeks now and my hair has become more soft and moisturized. If you have dry hair like me, I definitely recommend trying out hair masks. They are super inexpensive too, about $6.90

4. RICE WATER EMULSION FROM THE FACE SHOP

I like to sleep with the air conditioner on at night, so it makes my skin very dry, I've been applying this on my face every night to keep my face hydrated. If you do not know what an emulsion is, it is basically a moisturizer that also helps to keep your face looking bright.

5. ROSE GOLD + MOTHER OF PEARL WATCH FROM SOLVIL ET TITUS

This is my current favourite watch, I've been wearing it all the time because it's so feminine and I love the diamond detail around the watch face. It's been featured in a previous OOTD video

6. SILVER BANGLE FROM A RANDOM BOUTIQUE

I've had this bangle for a very long time, but I forgot about it. And then recently I "rediscovered" it in my jewelry collection and I've been wearing it a lot ever since because it's very simple but still has beautiful detailing. I've been going towards understated but intricate arm candy nowadays because this helps to keep the focus on my outfit and not draw attention away from it..

7. STATEMENT NECKLACE FROM A RANDOM BOUTIQUE

In contrast with non-distracting arm jewelry, I like to go super loud and eye-catching with huge statement necklaces. I like to wear this with a white chiffon shirt because it gives off a really classy feel, yet remaining feminine. And because this is a huge necklace, I like to keep the rest of my outfit simple with solid colours, prints would just clash with this necklace because there's so much going on already. My advice for wearing statement necklaces is to keep the rest of the outfit simple, and let the focus be on this beautiful piece of jewelry.

This is the end of my September favourites, thank you all for reading !
