We’ve scoured near and far for the most highly-anticipated drops in makeup, skincare and other beauty items to get your hands on this season. From Huda Beauty’s Glossiest Gloss Trio Set to a limited edition Diptyque fragrance and more — here’s what we’re eyeing and buying this February in Hong Kong.

The Best New Beauty Buys In Hong Kong 2025

YSL Beauty presents The Make Me Blush Bold Blurring Blush

Don’t usually blush? Well, this new blush by YSL Beauty just might do the trick! It’s an ultra-silky powder blush that doesn’t just give you colour — it actually blurs imperfections, smooths your skin (thanks to the skincare ingredient squalane) and stays put all day long. It’s also waterproof, sweatproof, and gives you that flawless, healthy flushed look. Choose from six coral and berry tones in matte, shimmery and satin finishes.

Diptyque’s Limited Edition Fragrance Collection

If you know Diptyque, you know their fragrances are more than just a scent — it’s a story. Expect nothing less with their new limited-edition scent: Orphéon. Inspired by the vibrant 1960s in Paris’ Saint-Germain quarter, where the original Diptyque boutique stood beside the legendary Orphéon nightclub. This fragrance is nostalgic and full of life, with notes of warm cedarwood, light tobacco, juniper berries and jasmine for a touch of elegance.

First Aid Beauty’s New KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA — Strawberry

You know how our skin can get all weird and sensitive when the seasons change? Fluctuating temps and humidity can really mess things up. That’s why we’re obsessed with First Aid Beauty’s new KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA in the Strawberry version. It gently exfoliates dead skin, leaving your skin super soft, smooth and refreshed. Plus, it’s also suitable for eczema!

OUAI Introduces The Fine To Medium Hair Treatment Masque

Say good bye to split ends and instantly restore hydration, tame frizz and strengthen tresses! Suitable for fine to medium locks, ouai’s new hair mask is packed with a nourishing blend of shea butter, panthenol and hydrolyzed keratin, leaving your hair softer, shinier, and healthier without weighing it down.

Huda Beauty’s Spring Limited Edition Glossiest Gloss Trio Set

We love a mini-sized makeup moment! It makes tossing it in a tiny purse so easy. This limited-edition set features three mini versions of the best-selling Faux Filler Gloss in the shades Glassy, Sugar Baby, and Bombshell — perfect for on-the-go touch-ups! Not only do they deliver insane shine, but they’re also packed with Vitamin E and Vegan Collagen to keep your lips smooth, soft and super hydrated, creating juicy, moisturised lips in every swipe!

SUQQU’s New Soft Matte Setting Powder & Glow Setting Powder

Let’s talk about SUQQU’s latest launch — two featherweight pressed powders called the Soft Matte Setting Powder and the Glow Setting Powder. The Soft Matte version blurs pores, controls shine and adds a natural radiance with soft lavender pigments, while the Glow version uses eight pearl pigments to create a luminous, dewy finish that brightens dull skin. Both come with a specially designed brush for seamless application.

Prada Beauty Releases Limited-Edition Lipsticks

Prada just dropped their Monochrome Soft Matte Limited Edition Series, featuring a trio of Soft Matte lipsticks inspired by their iconic brown shades; there’s Tiepolo (modern and chic), Sedona (sophisticated, everyday glam) and Amaranto (bold and daring). Packaged in a stunning metallic brown case, these lipsticks have a light, velvety-smooth consistency — so luxurious and timeless!

Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Launches Four New Scents

Let us put you on to something so dreamy — Santa Maria Novella just dropped four new scents in their I Giardini Medicei Eau de Parfum Collection: Acqua, Quercia, Ambra and Incenso. These fragrances are like a love letter to the 16th-century Medici Gardens in Florence, serving up everything from vibrant spring blooms to crisp winter vibes. And the packaging? Total Baroque-chic in a bottle, babes.

Allow Freewaves To Unlock Your Natural Curls

Team Sassy — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 22:00:40 +0000

Free your natural waves in five easy steps…

We all saw the Curly Girl Method take off on social media, which instilled the hope that hiding behind every frizzy mane might just be gorgeous curls waiting to be freed. The only catch is the sheer number of products and steps it takes, but thanks to Freewaves, you can say hello to your natural waves in just five simple steps with five simple products.

Moisture and protein are key to healthy, shiny waves. So start with the shampoo and conditioner then work through the Hydration Leave-in for extra moisture (this will take care of any excess frizz!). Next, add in the Protein Leave-in, which helps to strengthen your locks and prevent breakage and split ends.

Now comes the fun part. After distributing the product evenly through your hair, start scrunching your hair in an upwards motion to encourage your natural waves to form. Lastly, lock your waves in place with the lightweight gel.

Freewaves products are formulated in the UK and made in Hong Kong to ensure freshness. Free of harmful chemicals, like sulphates, silicones and parabens, all of the products are high in active ingredients that are nourishing to the scalp and hair. What are you waiting for? Free your waves today!

New customers can use the code SASSY to get 10% off their first purchase.

What Hongkongers Are Stocking Up On At Daiso

Team Sassy — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 22:00:55 +0000

The best part about shopping at Hong Kong Daiso? Everything’s $12!

Wondering how to get the most bang for your buck at Hong Kong Daiso? A little hard not to when everything is just $12! But if you’re overwhelmed by the multitude of interesting products lining the shelves (or have limited luggage space?) and need help differentiating between what you want and what you really NEED, here are the items we hear are flying off the shelves, according to locals. From miracle cleaning products to kitchen gadgets you wish you had earlier and holy grail beauty products, here’s what to grab next time you’re at Daiso.

Daiso Silk Cocoon Balls

Made from 100% silk, soak one of these “cocoon balls” in warm water to soften it, then place it on the tip of your finger and gently rub the ball in a circular motion on your face. The silk balls are used to gently exfoliate dead skin, as well as get rid of blackheads and impurities. Did we mention they can each be used up to five times? Fun fact: Japanese geishas were known to use silk balls as part of their vigorous beauty routine, making this simple tool a must-try for anyone looking to level-up their skincare!

Daiso Melamine Sponge Cube Ochiochi V

This miracle cleaning sponge will take care of all your greasy grime and kitchen stain woes. All you need is to add water and you’re ready to scrub away. The store offers a wide range of shapes and sizes, but they’re all perfect for getting to those tiny nooks and crannies you haven’t been able to reach. Your living space will be squeaky clean in no time!

Daiso Seasoned Egg Maker

Love those tasty jammy eggs you get at ramen restaurants? Follow the guide on the packaging to soft-boil your eggs just the way you like them, then pop the peeled eggs in the container with 100ml of marinade and refrigerate for an hour. For those who’ve attempted to make seasoned eggs in regular Tupperware will love how compact this gadget is – it can pickle four eggs at once and ensures each egg is fully submerged in the sauce so it can pickle evenly.

Daiso Detergent for Women’s Underwear

If you’ve known about this wonder product for a while, note that it’s had a makeover recently. Previously labelled “Detergent”, the bottle now clearly states what it’s best used for. This “Ladies Only Detergent” will be your best friend during that time of the month and help you get rid of any pesky blood stains with little effort.

Daiso Gel Nail Polish

Love getting your nails done, but are trying not to break the bank? You might have turned to DIY-ing it at home. But even then, stocking up on gel polishes and investing in your own UV light can make a big dent in your credit card. At Daiso, you can stock up on all your favourite colours and get your own very compact UV light for a fraction of the price you’d usually pay. With a bit of practice, people will think you’re a regular at the salon.

Daiso Underarm Sweat Pads

If you struggle with perspiration during summer (who in Hong Kong doesn’t?), this is one well-kept secret you’ll want to stock up on when the temperature rises back up again. Simply stick this sweat-absorbing pad onto the inside of your shirt and say goodbye to worrying about underarm sweat stains. Each pack contains eight pads, making it a great deal!

Daiso Knitting & Crocheting Tools

For all you knitting and crocheting girlies and guys who’ve been planning to DIY your Christmas presents this year, or make your own cosy knitwear to stay warm this winter, Daiso has got you covered. At $12 a skein, we were quite impressed with the general quality of the yarn available. And if you’ve never picked up knitting needles or a crochet hook before, this might be the perfect opportunity for you to pick up a new hobby!

Daiso Care for Sneaker Erasers

If you’re one of those sneaker heads who like to keep their kicks in pristine condition, this product will be a godsend. Daiso’s Care for Sneakers line covers a range of materials, including canvas, white leather and synthetic leather. There are also two erasers that can help you whiten the rubber sole of your shoes and even clean suede lining!

Team Sassy — Thu, 16 May 2024 22:00:02 +0000

Looking for the best short hair tips to keep your style trendy and manageable in 2024? You’re in the right place!

Short hair is making a big splash this year, with a variety of styles catering to different tastes and lifestyles.

In this article, we enlist the help of dynamic hair styling and colouring duo, Jude Hipolito and Rose Velasco of JuRo Salon Exclusif and L’Oreal Professionnel Ambassadors, who have over thirty years of experience making their clients’ hair look fabulous. We’ll explore the latest trends in short haircuts, offering tips on choosing the right style for your face shape and lifestyle. We’ll also provide guidance on the best tools, products, and practices to maintain and style your hair. With these short hair tips, you’ll be ready to rock a fabulous haircut that enhances your overall look.

Choosing The Right Short Haircut For Your Face Shape

Selecting the perfect short haircut is more than just following trends; it’s about finding a style that enhances your natural beauty and suits your face shape. With options ranging from chic bobs to edgy pixies and stylish lobs, it’s essential to choose a cut that flatters your unique features.

For round faces, a pixie cut with volume on top or an angular bob can add definition and elongate the face. Meanwhile, oval faces are versatile and can pull off almost any style, including the trendy French bob with fringes or a classic bob with graduation. Square faces benefit from soft layers that soften the jawline, making a textured lob or a bob with side-swept bangs ideal choices. On the other hand, heart-shaped faces look great with a lob that balances the width of the forehead with the narrowness of the chin.

Sassy Tip: Jude notes that a professional hairdresser can provide personalised advice, ensuring you get a haircut that not only suits your face shape but also fits your lifestyle. By choosing the right cut, you’ll enhance your features and embrace a stylish, confident new look.

Essential Styling Tips For Short Hair

Mastering the art of styling short hair can be both fun and effortless with the right tools and products. To achieve salon-worthy results at home, invest in a high-quality blowdryer, flat iron, and curling iron. These tools are versatile and can help you create a range of looks, from sleek and straight to voluminous curls. For a quick, on-the-go hairstyle, apply a lightweight styling product to damp hair and use your blowdryer to achieve a chic, tousled finish. Alternatively, scrunch your hair with a curl-enhancing mousse and let it air dry for natural waves.

When it comes to styling short hair, using the right products is also essential. Volumising shampoos and sprays are a must-have for adding lift to fine hair, while anti-frizz serums and sprays keep your style smooth and polished, especially in humid conditions. And don’t forget to incorporate a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from the damage of hot tools! By using the right tools and products, you can easily create salon-quality looks at home.

Top Products for Maintaining Short Hair

Achieving the perfect short hairstyle requires a tailored hair care routine. For those seeking to add volume to fine, limp hair, Jude suggests using volumising shampoos and root-lifting sprays. He adds that colour-treated hair benefits immensely from sulfate-free colour-protecting shampoos and conditioners that maintain vibrancy and prevent unwanted tones. Additionally, combatting frizz and flyaways, especially in humid weather, is a breeze with anti-frizz serums and sprays, as well as anti-humidity products that keep your style sleek and smooth. For those with waves or curls, curl-enhancing shampoos and styling creams are ideal for defining and maintaining beautiful texture. Incorporate these short hair care tips into your routine to ensure your hairstyle always looks its best, regardless of the weather or occasion.

Preserving Healthy Short Hair

Keeping your short hair healthy and stylish involves more than just daily styling; it requires regular trims and conditioning treatments. Frequent trims, ideally every 4-6 weeks, help maintain the shape of your cut and prevent split ends. Additionally, conditioning treatments, especially weekly deep conditioning masks, are essential for keeping your hair hydrated and resilient, particularly if it’s chemically treated or coloured.

The importance of seeing an experienced stylist cannot be overstated. A professional consultation ensures that your haircut suits your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle, while also providing personalised advice on maintaining and styling your hair. By following these short hair tips and seeking the expertise of a skilled hairdresser, you can enjoy a fabulous, healthy short haircut that always looks fresh and chic.

Our Editor Tries The Curly Girl Method: Curly Hair Tips, Tried-And-Tested Products & More

Nicole Moraleda — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 22:00:03 +0000

After watching countless “Curly Girl Method” tutorial videos, trying out different curly hair products and tools, and learning how to “plop” one’s hair, our Editor Nicole shares her year-long journey to embracing her natural curls.

At the start of last year when the team shared their New Year Resolutions, I declared that I would learn to embrace my natural curls. Growing up, I wished I was born with straight hair. I really admired my mum’s perfectly coiled locks, but because my hair is thinner, it would tangle easily and was more prone to frizz. So, naturally, I fell into the routine of blow-drying and straightening my hair with a flat iron. This became such a habitual practice that some of my closest friends and family forgot my hair was naturally curly.

I started seeing a lot of reels on Instagram of girls trying out the “Curly Girl Method”. Many of those girls, like me, grew up thinking their hair was too frizzy and unruly to wear – and that got me wondering, have I just been doing it wrong all this time? Trying out the famous method for the first time showed me that there was some potential in it, but it took a bit of trial and error (and upgrading my arsenal of hair tools and products) to get the results I wanted.

After a year of watching several tutorial videos, asking advice from friends with curls I envied, trying out different curly hair products, learning what “plopping” meant, and discovering my specific hair texture, porosity and curl type, I have many tips to share to those who are also looking to unleash the hidden potential in their curly or wavy hair.

First, Let’s Talk Brushes

In the past, whenever I was stuck in a position where I had to wear my hair natural (eg. swimming at the beach or travelling and discovering that your hotel room doesn’t include a hair dryer), I would brush and brush my hair flat as it dried, hoping to tame my curls. This was a rookie mistake. I’ve since learned that you want to avoid brushing your hair as and after it dries if you want to maintain your curls.

But that doesn’t mean you should toss all your beloved brushes in the bin! I like to use Janeke’s Superbrush to brush out my curls before washing my hair, the soft bristles prevent breakage but still do a good job of detangling. I also like to keep a comb in the shower, which I use to detangle my hair during the conditioning stage.

Then, I use a brush (curly girls swear by Denman brushes) to evenly distribute styling products into my hair (more on this below) and separate my locks into smaller clumps of curls while they’re still wet. Lastly, if you’re wearing your hair up in a ponytail or bun, and are going for that sleek, slicked-black look, a boar bristle brush and a bit of gel can help to smooth out the top of your hair.

My Holy Grail Curly Hair Products

Another important lesson that I learned is that using the right products make all the difference. I used to think that hair mousse was sticky, that gel would make my hair crunchy, and that curl cream would only weigh down my hair. Boy, was I wrong.

It turned out that I wasn’t cursed with frizzy hair, I just wasn’t giving it the moisture it needed. During my first attempts at the Curly Girl Method, I encountered the dreaded “wet frizz”, a delightful affliction where your hair manages to frizz even when it’s soaking wet.

A bit of Googling taught me that the typical cause of wet frizz is lack of moisture, product build-up and high-porosity hair (that is, hair that attracts and loses moisture easily). I’ve really been enjoying using the Pineapple Curls Curl Defining Shampoo and Conditioner by Pacifica, and I like to also use Aussie’s 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner (which I’ve been using for years) when I feel like a need an extra boost of hydration.

Olaplex’s No. 4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo came highly recommended as a product to remove product residue and excess sebum (the No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is supposed to also be great for nourishing high-porosity hair and reducing frizz), and I use it around once a week for a deep clean. Since keeping my locks conditioned and warding off product build-up, wet frizz (and consequently, dry frizz) is now a problem of the past!

If you’re looking for a more wallet-friendly alternative to the products mentioned above, I would recommend The Ordinary’s Sulphate Cleanser and Behentrimonium Conditioner. The shampoo does the trick of clarifying my hair (plus it even doubles as a solid cleansing body wash!), and the conditioner leaves my hair feeling super soft and hydrated.

The Curly Girl Method

I tried several variations of the Curly Hair Method and this is the one that work best on my hair.

Cleanse and condition your hair.
Before stepping out of the shower, flip your hair upside-down and then rake through a large dollop of mousse and curl cream using your fingers or a brush.
Once the product is distributed evenly and your hair has separated into smaller clumps, cup and scrunch up sections of your hair with your hands (your hair should still be dripping wet at this stage) to bring out its natural curl pattern.
Apply holding gel with prayer hands (gently sandwiching your hair between two flat palms and sliding your hands down from root to tip) and scrunch again for good measure.
If your hair is still sopping wet, you can use a cotton T-shirt to squeeze out the excess water, using the same scrunching motion.
Gently flip your hair upright and leave undisturbed as it air dries.

If you’re in a hurry you can dry your hair with a blow-dryer and diffuser (set to low and cool), but I found that air drying yielded the best results. A gentler way to speed up the drying process would be to “plop” your hair for 15 to 45 minutes and then continue to let it air dry. To plop, you simply wrap your hair up in an T-shirt or microfibre towel after styling and scrunching (head here or look up a plopping tutorial on YouTube if this is still unclear). This keeps your curls undisturbed and intact as they dry.

As you are air drying, it is imperative that you resist touching your hair and try not move around too much – otherwise all that hard work you did to reduce frizz and create beautiful, clean curly clumps will go to waste. Once your hair is fully dry, you can scrunch your curls to soften the crunchy gel cast.

The (Lazy) Curly Girl Method

Yes, that is a whole lot of effort to achieve a curly head of hair. These days, I rarely go through the entire process. To save on time, I start by squeezing the excess water out of my hair with my hands so that it’s not dripping wet. Then, I apply some curl cream (if my hair is feeling dry, I like to spritz a bit of leave-in conditioner or work in a bit of hair mask) and comb that through to distribute the product evenly and separate my curls into smaller clumps.

Then, standing upright, I would scrunch my hair and set the curls with a bit of hair gel, using those prayer hands again. This would give me softer, looser – but still defined and bouncy – curls.

Make Those Curls Last

Now, you’re probably wondering, how long will these curls last, because that’s a lot of work.

My advice would be to avoid brushing your hair (I suggest raking your fingers through your hair to get rid of any tangles) and sleeping with a loose top bun (it’s worth investing in a satin scrunchie and pillowcase if you want to avoid waking up with frizzy hair).

If your curls are still looking a little flat the next day, don’t lose heart; you can spritz your hair with some curl refreshing spray or apply a bit of curl cream to revive your curls. Zara just launched a new range of hair products and I’m curious to try out their Hair Curl Activator. A good hair oil can also help to tame frizz and add a bit of shine, but apply it sparingly so you don’t weigh down your curls (I like to dilute the oil with a bit of water so it distributes easier).

So, there you have it! I hope that was helpful. It’s a constant learning process, and I am constantly tweaking my routine and discovering new products. Sometimes I do get lazy and go back to blowing out my hair and straightening it, but I’m happy to say that my friends and family are no longer strangers to my curls and I will wear them proudly when I do.
