Shopee: 11/11 Big Sale: 11 to 19 November

1. Fruity Lip Glotioner in 708 Buffy, about $15, Laka

$15 $28 38% off

I can hear you asking if you really need another lip balm in your arsenal. When it’s Laka, a K-beauty brand known for its unique shade selection, of course you do. Cool-toned brown on the lips has been trending thanks to personalities like Gabbriette, and this is a sheer, purply-brown one that actually matches the vibe. Plus, it’s moisturising and has a cushion tip too.

2. Cause Alter Work Jacket, about $33, Warstudio

$33 $90 64% off

I’m a firm believer in the power of layering to elevate an outfit, especially as a lazy dresser who lives in a uniform of tank tops and trousers. I’ve been eyeing fireman clasp jackets for a while now, and I like how the hardware detailing makes a subtle statement without going overboard—you can just throw this on over anything and go.

3. Quinine Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo, about $15, Klorane

$15 $19 22% off

I bought a smaller bottle of this for a trip to Korea, and actually really liked it. It foams just enough for your hair to ‘feel clean’, and my hair does feel stronger as I brush through it, so I’m planning to get the larger bottle during the sale.

4. Thermal Spring Water (Twin Pack), $25, Avène

$25 $60 59% off

Since I was put on a topical retinoid by my dermatologist for my acne- and clog-prone skin, it’s been extremely dry and irritated, especially right after cleansing. And if you’ve been there, trying new products can be tricky during this time, which is why I’ve defaulted to this mist as a safe replacement for the toner step of my routine. Thermal water might seem gimmicky, but I’ve gone through two and a half bottles since August and it calms my skin and reduces redness right away. I’d recommend stocking up, or getting the larger pack with a travel-sized version as the usual prices are fairly high for these!

5. 24-inch lugguage, about $141, Dream Traveller

$141 $247 43% off

I’ve been travelling everywhere with the same gargantuan American Tourister luggage—even for a four-day trip—and while it’s been a trusty and stylish companion, it’s high time I got a smaller one for my shorter trips. This one looks promising because of the high rating, and it’s almost 50 percent off. I like that there are a lot of helpful features included, like a front pocket to store and retrieve your laptop and portable charger easily, a charging port, hooks and a phone holder. The sleek black version is so me-coded, but if you prefer coloured ones, there are red, green and light pink options too.

Zalora: From 60 to 90% off

6. Buckle-detailed tank top, about $35, & Other Stories

$35 $55 36% off

& Other Stories never flops when it comes to a good elevated basic. I’ve been plotting on this tank top with that hardware detail at the neckline since I saw it in stores and it’s finally on sale—and I can get it without leaving the house too (ICYMI: you can already add items to your Zalora cart before the sale on 7 November). You can wear it with trousers and a matching blazer for work and it’s cool enough for the weekends too, if you pair it with something like a column skirt.

7. Maxi flower stiff collar, about $30, Mango

$30 $66 55% off

The giant 3D flower on this is giving ‘I said I want something big, I want something that says I’m here. ~Beyoncé~’ and I love it, especially for when I’m wearing something monochromatic. Besides, cord jewellery tarnishes less, so it lasts much longer than other types of fashion jewellery.

Adidas: 30% off selected items + extra 10% off for members

8. Essentials 3-Stripes single jersey crop top, $36, Adidas

$36 $45 20% off

I’ve made several appointments with my friends to go for pickleball and pilates sessions to see what the hype is about, and it’d be cute to have a new top for the occasion. I like this shade of blue and the fact that it’s cropped just enough (around a baby tee length) so it’s stylish but not impractical to wear while moving.

Farfetch: 25% off new season items

9. Square-toe block-heel boots, about $243, Vagabond

$243 $324 25% off

I literally wear my Acne Studio Jensen boots to work every day because they go with everything, and while they’ve served me faithfully, they’re getting scuffed up and I feel like I could use a higher heel as well. If there’s anything I’ve learnt about going through different pairs of boots, it’s that you’d want a block heel (as seen in this pair) for daily wear because they’re more stable and the square toe gives your feet more space as well.

10. Gabi clogs, about $755, A.W.A.K.E Mode

$755 $1,006 25% off

There’s almost nothing I love more than an ironic fashion moment done right and this is the best one I’ve seen recently. I’ve never been drawn to clogs per se, but the large silver studs on this one and how easy it is to slip on and off makes it such a splurge-worthy item to me. My rule for new purchases is to be able to match them with my ‘uniforms’ and I feel like this one works with everything from blue denim to a dress. The $250 discount is just the cherry on top.

11. Chocolate mint tea bags, about $9, Harney & Sons

$9 $12 26% off

iHerb hates to see me coming. My family shops at iHerb pretty often to get items that are difficult to find here, and I found this while browsing. I love a chocolate mint anything, but I also think that this is nice enough to gift all your tea-loving friends and family this festive season without breaking the bank (Pro-tip: add your iHerb items to your cart to see the discounted price!). If chocolate mint doesn’t appeal to you, there are more fun flavours like green tea and coconut and blueberry green. Harney & Sons just gets it when it comes to flavour combis.

12. Shea Better 24H Moisture Body Lotion in Vanilla Cashmere, about $16, EOS

$16 $21 26% off

I was obsessed with ShowerTok in 2021 and was definitely in the gourmand camp. I remember being so jealous when this first came out in the U.S. because it was near impossible to buy it here. This is for you if you like a cupcake frosting-like scent and a richer texture like I do, and the bottle lasts for quite a while too.
