New in

I'm so happy to present the most recent addition to my LV collection! As you can see, it's a small, but not less important item. It's something I had my eye on for a  very long time - and now I finally got my hands on this beautiful SLG!

I'm sorry for bad pic quality, but I was so excited and had to share this with you ASAP 🙌🏻!

And yes, it's a key pouch in Monogram Vernis!

I'm so in love with this item, although it was not the colour I originally wanted. The one on my wishlist was in colour rose indien, but it wasn't available at the  Louis Vuitton store I visited. When the SA brought the one in colour amarante, I knew I wouldn't go wrong with that one.

Here's a photo from instagram posted a few days ago. I hope you can see the colour clearly - it looks like chocolate!

So far I think this little fellow is so versatile, but has a major issue. There are fingerprints everywhere! Usually you would get a special cloth at LV for vernis items, but unfortunately, my SA forgot to put it in the box. However, I got an advice from another SA, to buy silky gloves that work even better. 

All in all, it's a great piece, quite spacious (inside pocket + external card sloth) and you can attach it to a D ring or anywhere else. I use it for credit cards, earphones, cash and receipts, as well as some other small items. You can't go wrong with this one.

I also looked at these two, but they just didn't work for me. I almost forgot, the price of the vernis pouch was 2200 NOK, so it was a little bit cheaper than the rest of Europe (265€).

Latest obsession

As you can see in the picture, my latest obsession is the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere.  I've never really been a fan of crossbody bags, but lately I realised it can be a great bag! 

It comes in Monogram, Damier Ebene, Damier Azur and Empreiente canvas/leather. In Monogram print it comes in 4 different sizes: 25, 30, 35 and 40. Although I chose pictures showing the Monogram print, I'm not 100% sure that's the one I would get. What worries me is the vachetta leather. I own a Saumur and a Noe bag in Monogram and they both have an almost honey-like patina, but since I was super careful, the patina is equal and without stains. If I would get a Speedy B, it would be my most used bag for sure, so I don't know how careful you can be in that case! 

On the other hand, you don't have to worry about it with the Damier Ebene print, but there is a catch. Most of the DE bags have details in treated leather. The problem with it is the creasing. No matter how careful you are, creasing will occur sooner or later. That's what unfortunately happened with my Trevi GM.

Having all this said, I have no idea which one to get! I want to get it ASAP, before another price increase happens. I'd like to hear your opinion and I'd love to get some advice, so don't be afraid to leave a comment!

First review

The very first product I'll be reviewing is a YSL lipstick. To be more specific, it's the Rouge Volupté N°15 Corail Extrême. I purchased it in a hurry on my recent trip, so I may have chosen a wrong colour for myself. 

What I really liked about this lipstick is its scent. It's absolutely amazing - the fruity "flavour" is perfect for summer. The packaging also caught my eye, it's very elegant. But in my opinion, this product is not something you apply when in hurry. It has a bit of a weird texture and it is really important that you exfoliate your lips before using it. 

Another thing that bothered me is how it looks on my lips. I was aming for a completely different colour than my lips, but ended up disappointed. Just to be clear, I don't use a lip pencil or anything similar, so I can't really say anything about how long it will stay on your lips either, though they promise 4 hours of perfect lips, without pencils or any other products that help with keeping the lipstick on for as long as possible.

To me, this product is more like a lip gloss, rather than a lipstick, and I think you can pull it off for any occasion, as well as for every day use.

Despite disliking many things about it, I'm not giving up YSL lipsticks. I'm looking forward to trying more colours and types, hopefully on my next trip in 2 weeks.

(I apologise for the photo quality, my photos are always taken in a hurry, with my phone!)
