Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Review of My Very Own!

A few weeks ago, I bought my first luxury bag. It took a lot of saving for this bag, and I feel very proud that I was able to do this. I put aside around £100 each month from my wages to reach the full amount. When I finally had enough for this luxury I made my purchase.

I introduce to you guys my very own Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in Monogram print which arrived in this beautiful box.

It's a very special moment for me because I kept looking at this bag over and over and putting it in my basket, yet never got round to actually buying it because I kept telling myself it's to expensive. Well now it's finally mine (oh the joy of owning and having a brand new bag). I couldn't care less if it's not the best luxury designer bag out there but its one I've wanted and was within reach of my earnings.

Let me be honest with you this is the first time I spent so much in one purchase. Usually I would buy more from high street brands. I decided to buy the Monogram pattern instead of the Damier Tbene or Damier Azure as it's the pattern I've always wanted to get in the speedy 30. A lot of people say that the LV speedy bags are slowly becoming out of fashion. I personally think they are still in fashion just not as great as before but when I want something I buy it no matter what others say as I'm the one who will be wearing it.

This bag comes with a Louis Vuitton lock and keys to keep your belonging more safe. For me I'd say it's part of a fashion charm. The Louis Vuitton bag was bought from my comfort of the sofa but I'm hopping next time I make a purchase I would visit the store as I've never actually been inside a louis Vuitton store.

The speedy 30 is a rounded sort of shape and has no bag shaper at the bottom  of the bag. They also sell the new speedy bag now which has the Bandouliere (extra straps) and is a higher price then the original speedy 30. The difference between the two bags is that the new speedy bag has extra straps to a clip for clipping on the extra straps and use it as bag or shoulder bag.
Inside the bag is pocket to store your smaller bits and pieces and under the pocket flap you will find the seral number pf the bag, providing the authenticity of the bag.

I have already taken this bag out with me several times and every time I wear this bag I feel good because I worked hard for it and now its a bag of my own, a tribute to myself.

I would love to hear what bag you have had on your mind for while or maybe a bag you have just bought and are excited about or maybe your view on this bag itself. So feel free to post your comments below :)

1. Ted Baker Mini Must Haves is a great gift set for any teen age girl or younger adult and has a great rang of gifts inside from body spray and wash, bubble bath and soufflé. It's only £12 which in my eyes is pretty cheap for what you get inside if you ask me.

Revolution Ultra Pro Collection is a great gift for someone who is very much into their make up and loves all these different palettes like an eye shadow, eye brow palette and many more which come with three gorgeous brushes (flat contour brush, blending eye brush & high light brush) as well as other bits and bobs.

My Urban Decay "Naked 5 Brush Set" Review

A few days ago my Urban Decay Naked 3 brush set arrived. I was very happy and excited  about receiving and using them that I thought I would do a quick post about them.

Inside the Urban Decay Naked 3 brush set are 12 brushes which are all travel size and each brush is sealed. 

I found that for the price you pay they are great and affordable. I would recommend buying these brushes as a set because buying these brushes individually means spending more on them. One brush is around £15 and some of the other brushes can be more.

These brushes are in a nice copper colour which is rare to be found on any other brush brand and they can be stored in my matching metal case. 

 12 pack brushes:

- Powder Brush
- Eyeshadow Brush
- Large Eyeshadow Brush
- Medium Eyeshadow Brush
- Small Eyebrow Brush
- Lip Brush
- Blush Brush
- Oblique Eyebrow Brush
- Eyeliner Brush
- Eyelid Brush
- Angled Contour Brush

I myself have mostly been using the foundation, powder, concealed and eye blender. I find that the hair on these brushes is very soft and the makeup blends well with them as well as for them being easy to clean and use.
