Gracija Ladies Night

Due to my hectic schedule I rarely have time to just go out and have a relaxing time but I did break the routine last night. I was invited to a very cozy event/ hang out known under the name “Gracija Ladies Night”. This event took place at a cozy restaurant located within the Alta shopping center in Sarajevo. Vapiano usually offers delicious pizza, different kind of pasta and sauces and last night it hosted our Gracija Ladies Night. The decor was very likeable and those with the eye for details would definitely appreciate the effort that was put to achieve a welcoming and relaxing vibe. Gracija is a well-known magazine and they have together with one of my favourite beauty brands – Revelique, organized a delightful entertainment for a number of ladies. I was there to inform all the lovely guests about what Revelique has to offer and to provide advice and nifty beauty tips. It began quite spontaneously, a new and promising brand seemed appealing. I especially appreciate that they offer beauty products of very good quality and safe to use at acceptable prices. My love towards them grew and grew with every product that came into my hands. Some products have really hit the spot with me and I use them on a daily basis. I decided to apply all my Revelique make-up on because I think that's the best way to show it to people. I was actually positively surprised how well all the guests interacted with me, many have asked about my make-up. Of course, my chatty-self was more than ready to indulge with as much info as I could. Few ladies were impressed by the intensity of my eye make-up.

Zbog prilicno prenatrpanog rasporeda rijetko imam vremena za neki opusteni izlazak nocu ali sinoc sam unijela malo promjene u svoju rutinu. Pozvana sam na jedno jako lijepo i ugodno druzenje a mislim da ce neke od vas prepoznati o cemu se radi kada napisem “Gracija Ladies Night”. Ovaj se dogadjaj odrzao u prijatnom restoranu u okviru Alta soping centra u Sarajevu. Vapiano obicno nudi jedan fin izbor pica, jela sa tjesteninom i raznim sosovima a sinoc je bio domacin spomenutoj Gracija noci za dame. Prostor je bio lijepo uredjen a osobe koje imaju oko za detalje bi bile posebno zadovoljne ulozenim trudom. Sve je rezultiralo jednom ugodnom, opustenom atmosferom. Gracija je vec prilicno poznat casopis i oni su u saradnji sa jednim od meni omiljenih brendova – Revelique-om, organizovali ovo krasno druzenje za jedan odredjeni broj dama. Ja sam bila prisutna kako bih informisala sve ljupke gosce o Revelique brendu i proizvodima koje nude te sam pripomogla i kojim beauty trikom kojim se i sama koristim. Sve je zapocelo jako spontano, novi brend koji mnogo obecava mi je zaista djelovao interesantno. Posebno cijenim sto nude kupcima beauty proizvode koji su odlicnog kvaliteta i sigurni su za koristenje (ne sadrze zloceste sastojke) i to po pristupacnim cijenama. Moja ljubav spram njih je rasla svakim novim proizvodom sa kojim sam se upoznavala. Neki od tih proizvoda su me zaista odusevili i stalno ih koristim. Odlucila sam da se nasminkam samo sa Revelique proizvodima jer mislim da nema boljeg nacina od toga za pokazati sta se sve s njima moze uciniti i kakvi se efekti mogu postici. Zapravo sam ugodno iznenadjena pozitivnim reakcijama dragih gosci koje su sa mnom komunicirale, mnoge od njih su upitale za sminku koju sam tada nosila. Naravno, pricalica kakva jesam, vrlo rado sam im udovoljila i potrudila se pruziti sto vise potrebnih informacija.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I've decided to play up my eyes. I've used the Revelique Baked Eye Shadow in Aquarelle. I used the flashy turquoise half for the entire lid and then I've contoured my eyes and gave them some depth with the deep teal shade from the Revelique Matte & Pearly Eye Shadow in Ship Ahoy! Since it has sparked interest, I will review it sooner that I have planned. The curious thing was that no one could believe that I haven't used an eye pencil. I strictly lined my eyes with the aforementioned shade using my Eco Bella angled brush. I also used the white half of the Revelique Baked Eye Shadow in Checkmate! to highlight the brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes. I think it worked and illuminated the eye sufficiently. I have also applied Revelique Duo Powder Blush in Raspberry on my cheeks and groomed my brows with the Revelique Eyebrow Pencil in Brown. I kept the rest of my face neutral and I have also coated my nails with the Revelique High Shine Nail Polish in Mermaid. I was pleased with how everything turned out, the number of inquiries let me think that I did a good job. One lovely guest has applied the Revelique Long Lasting Lipcream in Baroque and oh boy does it look wonderful! I must try it out myself because it looked gorgeous on her. Every guest has received a Revelique goodie bag filled with great products and three lucky ladies won an extra goodie bag. Yes, we even had a small giveaway and they were thrilled when they won.

Ah, zaboravila sam spomenuti kako sam se fokusirala na oci i njih sam intenzivnije nasminkala. Koristila sam Revelique Baked sjenu za oci u nijansi Aquarelle. Tacnije, koristila sam zivu tirkiznu polovicu i tu sam nijansu nanijela na cijeli kapak a potom sam konturisala oci i kreirala nesto dubine sjenceci pregib oka dubokom petrolej nijansom iz Revelique Matte & Pearly sjene u nijansi Ship Ahoy! Posto je bilo dosta zainteresovanih, objaviti cu recenziju te sjene ranije nego sam to planirala. Interesantno je to sto je rijetko tko mogao povjerovati da nisam koristila olovku za oci. Samo sam ih obrubila spomenutom tamno petrolej sjenom koristeci se svojom Eco Bella koso rezanom cetkicom. Takodjer sam koristila bijelu polovicu Revelique Baked sjene za oci u nijansi Checkmate! kako bih osvijetlila podrucje ispod obrva i nanijela sam je malo u unutarnji kut oka. Mislim da sam uspjela u namjeri i da sam na taj nacin unijela malo svjetla u cijeli look. Na jagodice sam nanijela Revelique Duo Powder rumenilo u nijansi Raspberry a obrve sam malo uredila sa Revelique olovkom za obrve u boji Brown. Ostatak lica sam ostavila u nekim neutralnim tonovima a noktice sam nalakirala sa Revelique High Shine lakom za nokte u nijansi Mermaid. Zadovoljna sam sa time kako je sve ispalo a i po brojnosti upita vezanih za moju sminku te noci, volim misliti da sam uradila dobar posao. Jedna sarmantna gosca je nanijela na usne Revelique Long Lasting Lipcream u nijansi Baroque i moram spomenuti kako joj je krasno stajao. Zelium i ja isprobati tu nijansu jer mi se jako dopalo kako je na djevojci izgledala. Svaka gosca je dobila po jednu vrecicu punu Revelique proizvoda a tri sretne dame su osvojile i dodatnu poklon vrecicu punu lijepih stvarcica. Da, imali smo i malu nagradnu igru i mislim da su gosce bile odusevljene (posebno one koje su bile sretne dobitnice).

Everything was organized to a tee and everyone was so pleasant to be around. We were treated by a complimentary drink so I sipped on my Campari throughout the evening. We were even treated with a canape-like chocolate treat on a stick and a gorgeous dessert of rice with milk and cherries. Yum. It was especially delightful for me personally to interact with such amazing ladies that night. I like to think that I've successfully assisted with their questions, gave some sneaky personal beauty tips and generally, had a great time. For me, the highlight of the mingling was when one kind guest actually said that she already follows my blog and my Facebook page! I was over the moon and my heart melted from joy when she contacted me at the page. I believe that there isn't anything more beautiful and rewarding than to meet and greet you guys. At the end of the night, I was given a new edition of Gracija magazine and a cute plant in a pot, with a bow and everything. It smells divine but I'm yet to discover what it actually is to take care of it properly. Fingers crossed that it succeeds to live with me because I could use an assistant when I'm taking photos. Enjoy my pictures from the event, I hope some of the ladies will recognize themselves on these photos and let me know. I also have a picture of myself and a small swatch of my eye make-up for the night. I hope you will like them all.

Sve je bilo dobro organizovano i uopsteno su svi bili prijatno drustvo. Bili smo pocasceni picem pa sam ja pijuckala svoj Campari tokom druzenja. Simpatican detalj su bili cokoladni kolacici koji slice na kanapee a meni se posebno dopao desert od sutlije, prelivene visnjama. Njam. Meni je posebno bilo osvjezavajuce to sto sam upoznala toliko divnih osoba te noci. Zaista sam se potrudila da im odgovorim na sva pitanja, ako sam asistirala nekim korisnim beauty trikovima – bice mi jos draze ali sam se uopsteno, jako lijepo provela. Poseban trenutak tokom druzenja je bio kada sam upoznala jednu dragu goscu koja mi je rekla da me vec prati cak i preko Facebook stranice bloga! Nevjerovatan je osjecaj i sva sam se od dragosti istopila kada me docekala i njena poruka na stranici. Vjerujem da nema ljepse i zadovoljavajuce stvari od druzenja sa vama, mojim citateljkama. Na kraju veceri sam dobila i najnoviji primjerak casopisa Gracija i skroz simpaticnu biljcicu u posudi, umotanu sa masnicom. Super mirise i jos samo da odgonetnem o cemu se tacno radi kako bi se o njoj adekvatno brinula. Drzite palceve da kod mene prezivi posto bi mi dobrodosao mali asistent dok pravim fotke za blog. Nadam se da ce vam se dopasti slike sa druzenja, mozda se neke gosce i prepoznaju (ako da, javite mi u komentarima). Ukljucila sam i slicicu svoje malenkosti i mali swatch make-up looka na ocima koji sam nosila sinoc. U svakom slucaju, nadam se da ce vam se svidjeti.
