Louis Vuitton Vernis Key Pouch in Pomme D'amour

So yes, I finally purchased my first thing off my wishlist! Well one of the smaller ones but whatever, I got the Louis Vuitton Vernis Key Pouch in colour Pomme D'amour. It's SO cute! I love it! I'm using it for change, has a cheque in it atm & reciepts. I could actually maybe fit my iPhone. It was £205 and I ordered from the official LV website. I ordered Friday evening, and came Monday afternoon, so i'm guessing the only take orders on weekdays before a certain time.
I was so pleased with it runnning round my house screaming when it got here because i'd waited ALL day and the postman had already came around 11 in the morning so when another delievery came at about 4, I was so happy! I came from France in one day!
So I opened the brown parcel box and I was happy with all the presentation! All boxed to perfection, even the little string around the box & the pull tab on the box was leather. So I opened the box and in the little dustbag was my purse, everything top quality. Anyways not much more to the story so here's a load of pics!

Naww so cute! Saving for the matching wallet or passport cover now! It's a darker colour in real life

More like this colour

Love this storage box

Receipts, thankyou letter, terms & conditions and return voucher

Back

Two pockets, main pocket and a open side pocket to slide paper or anything in

Clip to hang it on the inside of a bag or anywhere, inside Louis Vuitton bags, most of them had this 'D' shape hook to hang it off

Being a greedy b*tch

So if you remember, I previously did a post on the designer things I like (Click here) So here's and updated list of my desired designer goods, some the same some not:
Louboutin Lady Dafs (Still on my list!) Not sure whether I prefer nude or black though...

Alexander McQueen scarf, this is the colour I decided on

Louis Vuitton Sarah Noeud Wallet

Casio Diamond watch, i'd prefer the 101 but the 15 one will do. Casio is my fave make of watches and I love big blingy gold ones so this is perfect!

Louis Vuitton passport cover

Louis Vuitton key purse (But i'd use it for change/receipts)
(I missed out the bag cause I'm gonna have to wait a lifetime for it but that's my top priority to ever get)

Grey contacts for Dark eyes




So the first photo is me last year (ugh) and me last night... I tried to get a shot in day light but couldn't because it was starting to get dark. (I'm such a poser). I absolutely LOVE these! I bought 'Mezmereyes' pearl grey, my eyes are super dark, they don't look it in the left pic because the light caught them but they really are! I was originally going to get velvet grey but my sister said because your eyes are dark go lighter, I was scared I was going to look 'Owl-ish' with like MEGA big eyes which I didn't want. I wanted just a colour contact without enlargement which if you do want get ones with a black ring around. I did my research into these colours.

So it was £10 for 1 month, I got one month incase I didn't like them, it was £12.99 for 3 which now I regret because I adore these!
So my first try... Was utterly horrible! But i'm a first time user ever for contacts! I'm not bad with touching my eyes though i'll just shove my finger in if I need to (that sounds a bit strange). I was on the phone to my friend at the time, asking her what to do and stuff, it is actually a bit tricky, I can't even explain how to put them in because I honestly can't remember they just eventually went in! I had to do it a quite few times then just was like 'IT'S GOING IN WHETHER IT LIKES IT OR NOT!' Hahaha

So when it first went in my eyes started WATERING so bad! It looked like I was crying! It's proberly because I took so long and they were dry! Then there was taking it out and that took another half an hour to do.

But they were so nice! I love the exotic-ness they grey gives to me, because most mixed race people have brown eyes, then green, which is my next colour to get.

They came in little sachets filled with solution & he also gave me another box free which had a bottle of solution, a contact case & a chart of all the colours available:


I would definitely purchase these again, but under flash photography, they don't look that natural unless you edit it down, in daytime they look GORGEOUS!

My overall rating:

8/10

For the uncomfortableness slightly when in my eyes
&
when under flash they don't look natural... but maybe it's just my flash cause I have just a small Samsung camera.

Otherwise perfect! If you want a subtle grey on dark eyes go for these! Sometimes they look like a very dark blue..


They also slide about a tiny bit, not alot... you can kind of see here in my left eye

Newest creation


This took a while because I kept stopping because the gems are really small like 2/3mm ones I was working with for the most of it. This is for my friend, I would do like 2 hours sessions on this i'd say overall about 8/9 hours? I work hard on my shizz hahaha, let me know what you think! It's even more sparkly in real life.

Buying Fake/Real M.A.C online!

So i've been asked in the past how can you tell if it's real or fake, where to buy it from, is it safe to buy off ebay etc. So here's my honest opinion. Unless they can prove it's 100% authentic, DO NOT BUY OFF EBAY! I wouldn't buy it off ebay in the first place if i'm honest! So here's a few ways to save yourself from falling into that trap:


1. If it sounds too good to be true, it's NOT true! If you visit the mac site one bottle of foundation is around £20, if someone's selling it for around £10 it's more than likely fake! Or especially eyeshadows, a bulk of 24 for around £30 is going to be FAKE! One eyeshadow pot on M.A.C is £11.50.

2. Don't buy if it's from China, that place is a well known replica city. Just stick to your own country.

3. If they don't say it's authentic, don't buy, if it's not in the description you can always message the seller to ask, if they don't reply it's fake, and if they do reply then obviously you'll have your answer :-)

4. Check the name of the colours listed. The M.A.C site is always available for you to check colours. If it's a discontinued colour, you can always google the colour e.g. search for "M.A.C discontinued colours for lipstick" I'm pretty sure somewhere will have a list of colours.

5. Look at the packaging, M.A.C always has the dot's inbetween the letters, everything is always in a straight line, it has a sticker label for the name of the colour of the product never printed on the box, the font on the packaging, lipglosses & pigment glasses always are full, which by I mean is this (bottom pic):


See how the tubes are completely full?


6. M.A.C do not sell pallette's like this:




These instore with real colours would cost over £100, not about £20, 100% fake!

7. If you have the money, just buy from any M.A.C counter or store to make sure it's authentic.

If I come across any more idea's i'll add more, if you have any questions or want me to check the item over, feel free to ask me on facebook or formspring.

P.N I'm not endorsed by M.A.C to do this, or a makeup artist, just an avid fan of M.A.C and want to stop people buying fake, If you can't afford don't fake it. You can find good quality high street eyeshadows such as Barry M (I love these, but all loose shadows and I hate fall out), Sleek and Boujois (from my own experience)




LONDON

Never took alot, enjoyed shopping too much :-)
Dad already asleep... on the way there.

Recent Purchases: River island, MAC & Forever 21

Forever 21, £4.80 (I think) I got this for when I travel I never have a place to store my brushes, so this is my fancy way to take them :-) It's glittery leopard

Mac brush cleanser £8.50, Cleaned my brushes with this, omg my brushes look beautiful! It disinfects too so worth the money!


Decided to start my mac pro x15 pallette!! I got this in London, pics when my dad emails me some he took, the pallette was £11.50 & the eyeshadow was £9.50 for one! Please dont think the pallette comes with ANY shadows,  it doesn't it comes with none! I already knew this but some people get a bit confused with it. It's gonna be a slow process filling this! My next post will be about buying MAC products from online, as i've been asked in the past so i'll share my thoughts. My first colour is carbon if your interested, just a matte black.

Raspberry jeans, River island £30-40? can't remember I also got these in khaki green but they're in the wash

So college, i finally chose 'smart' shoes. A pair of brogues and loafers. I'm not wearing sh*tty little kitten heels, excuse my french, I hardly ever swear. But that was needed. So I chose these both river island varying between £20-30 each.
