New Louis Vuitton Twist Epi & and Mask series handbags..
I saw these beauties at the local Louis Vuitton boutique recently. I love the shiny Epi bags. Clever.. but not so much, the mask series.
Twist Epi
The Twist Epi bags are available in 3 colors, black, silver and gold. Very Shiny, Perfect for parties.
What makes this range of bags delightful is the Twist lock mechanism. When the bag is in the locked position, the lock forms the word LV. When it is in the unlocked position, (twisting the L), the locking mechanism looks like a V, which is the current rage symbol with the new desginer. U see "V" everywhere! That, is another story!
The Twist Epi bags are retailing at SGD$4450
Mask series
Now here is something interesting. Take monogram canvas, add bits of leather here and there to make it look like the bag has a mask on it. Charge a lot more than similar bags without the bits of leather, and that, in summary, is the Mask range of bags and SLGs.
The Tribal Mask Chain wallet is retailing for SGD$2610 and the Tribal Mask Card holder is retailing for SGD$620
The Mask Key pouch is retailing for SGD$900
I fell for one of the items from the Mask collection. It is the luggage tag. I just had to have it, no matter how much it cost, and it cost a lot.. A lot more than any LV luggage tag. SGD$505 to be exact. It is just so cute! OMG...
This luggage tag is expensive (if U look at it as just a luggage tag), but if U look at it as a bag charm, then the price is justifiable.. don't U think?
I know just the bag for the tag and it is not available yet. It is the V tote from the LV Men's 2015 show bag.. It will be a long 3 months wait.

Clarisonic Aria portable ultrasonic face cleanser brush. Perfect for frequent travellers.
I have 2 Clarisonic devices in my possession. A Clarisonic Plus, for use at home and an Opal, for my wrinkly eyes. Now, the Aria makes three.. But, I getting ahead of myself... let me start from the beginning.
I was lazy guy when it comes down to cleaning my face. For me, all it takes to clean my face is with soap (any kind of body soap that is within reach) and water. Simple and fuss-free. On one of my holiday travels to the USA, my colleague asked me to get something for her from Amazon.com. It was a Clarisonic deep cleansing brush. I was like, "what is this brush? How do U clean your face with it?". It was then that my colleague introduced me to Clarisonic. It seems like a good idea. Fast moving brush to lift off dirt, much like the brushes one sees at a car wash. But it was too expensive. There must be a cheaper alternative. I was not going to spend money on a "beauty" device. Lol. I got myself an Olay Pro-X cleansing system. It works, but I wanted something better, something that can be used for the face, as well as for my back. Ah, the Clarisonic Plus is ideal as there is an option for an extension handle, perfect for my scaly back. So I got me a Clarisonic Plus. And the rest is history.
The Opal comes next. I needed something for the crow's feet around the eye area. So, on my last trip to USA, I got me an Opal. It works. Now my eyes are a little bit smoother, less of a crow. I like both of my gadgets.
I do quite a fair bit of overseas travel. The Plus to me is just too big for my toiletries bag and quite cumbersome as the charger is large and not portable. A new brush is needed. But, what to get? A Mia (cheapest and smallest)? Mia 2 or the Aria?
Mia and Mia 2 is out. Both vibrate at lower ultrasonic speeds that is not so suitable for thicker, coarser men's skin (as mentioned the the lovely sales person at the counter) My ideal choice would be the Aria. Why? It is a 3 speed brush, the same as the one I was used to with the Plus.
I got myself a masculine, discreet black Aria. LOL!!!!
The Aria uses inductive charging technology via its plink cable.
The cable is USB on one end and the magnetic charging head on the other. This makes it easy for me to bring it around during my travels. I can just plug the USB cable to any of my iPad or iPhone USB adapters. I do not even have to carry the cumbersome stand or USB plug around. Small and light. Just the way I like it.

Alternatively, if one is not using it for travel, the plink cable can be attached to the stand and be used as a charging station. How neat is that.
For me, as I will be using the Aria for my travels, I will not be using the stand, just the magnetic charging head.
I am so glad that I got myself the Aria. My skin takes a beating whenever I am away from home. Breakouts and pimples always accompany me on my travels. But now, hopefully, not anymore. My cleansing routine will not be interrupted no matter where I am in the world. And that, makes a world of difference to me.
