Gracija Ladies Night #2

I love meeting new people – if you do as well and if you're fond of a nice, cozy idea of a night out – than, you my dears, would've been in heaven if you had accompanied me to a cute little event I attended the other night. Think of a friendly atmosphere, dim lights, comfortable and natural decor + delicious desserts, drinks and friendly chat about make-up with yours truly. I'm usually a grandma when wild nights out are in question and always prefer smaller venues and smaller groups of people with a light music in the background – not an extra-loud pop concert. I do like to be able to talk to people and hear what they have to say to me as well since that's what socializing should be all about, right? I was extremely happy with how I've spent my two hours and I'll try to share a bit of how it went through my photos and a little backstory. Hello, Gracija Ladies Night #2. As I've previously been to quite a similar event (my Gracija Ladies Night #1), I vaguely knew what to expect. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised by the positive attitude and interest our guests showed off towards make-up. I also felt that, overall, people attending were much more chatty than usual, which I love. Everyone was uplifted and quite interested to see what they got in their goodie bags. Oh, I must not forget the most important detail of all – Revelique Cosmetics was yet again so generous and so nice to us all. I'm so amazed to see that a brand isn't uptight yet maintains a professional approach. I never would be interested to be in a strict place, or a strict presentation as I feel that concentration of the audience falls below the zero within 10 minutes. This time I had a real quality time with all the lovely ladies who showed up. We chatted about their goodie bags but I also remember that we talked about all things beauty, really. From how to prolong the wear of your foundation, what I use to fixate my foundation, which high-end products I mix with more affordable ones, which shades might suit each lady better, specific nail polish hues which mimic the glorious Chanel ones (think Avant-Garde and Poetry Slam) – it's really hard to remember everything we mentioned altogether. Mature ladies confirmed that they prefer classic mascara wands the Revelique Lengthening mascara sports while the younger ladies prefer the plastic wand of the Revelique Define mascara (my personal favorite). 

Volim upoznavati nove ljude – ukoliko i vi to volite te ako vam ideja ugodnog i mirnog nocnog izlaska dobro zvuci – drage moje, onda bi vam se izuzetno dopalo druzenje i event kojem sam prisustvovala prije dvije noci. Zamislite prijateljsko okupljanje, prigusena svjetla, udoban i prirodan dekor + slasni dezerti, sokovi i opusteni razgovor o kozmetici – sa mnom. Obicno sam poput neke starije gospodje kada su divljni nocni izlasci u pitanju i uvijek cu radije odabrati manje mjesto i manje grupice ljudi uz njeznu muziku u pozadini – ne neki ekstra glasan pop koncert. Zelim da mogu ostvariti razgovor sa ljudima i da cujem sto mi oni imaju reci sto bi u sustini trebala biti poenta druzenja, zar ne? Moram priznati kako sam ja izuzetno zadovoljna nacinom na koji sam provela ta dva sata te cu pokusati da vam prenesem dio atmosfere uz fotografije eventa i popratnu pricu. Slijede moji dojmovi o Gracija Ladies Night #2. Posto sam vec jednom bila na ovakvom eventu (post o Gracija Ladies Night #1), otprilike sam znala sto ocekivati. Medjutim, zaista nisam mogla ni pretpostaviti koliko ce same gosce biti odlicno raspolozene a posebno me ugodno iznenadilo sto su bile jako zainteresovane da sa mnom caskaju o kozmetici. Takodjer sam bila pod dojmom da su gosce bile nekako bolje raspolozene nego sto bi se ocekivalo, bile su pricljivije i dosta, dosta pristupacnije – sto mi je tako krasno. Ne smijem zaboraviti jedan mali no veoma bitan “detalj” a to jeste da nista ne bi bilo moguce organizovati na tako lijep nacin i sprovesti jedno odlicno druzenje bez dragog brenda Revelique Cosmetics. Jednostavno mi se dopalo kako jedan brend moze biti istovremeno profesionalan no ne i ukocen – naprosto imaju jedan prijatan pristup svemu. Ja nisam ni tip osobe koji se moze zamisliti u nekom ustogljenom drustvu, nekog strogoj prezentaciji jer sam nebrojeno puta vidjala kako koncentracija publike pada ispod nule u roku 10 minuta kada je sve tako strogo. Ovaj put sam se stvarno super provela sa goscama koje su ucinile event tako posebnim. Raspricale smo o se o sadrzaju njihovih Revelique poklon-vrecica no pricale smo o jos mnogo razlicitih beauty tema. Od toga kako produljiti trajnost sminke, koje proizvode koristim za fiksiranje podloge, koje high-end kozmeticke proizvode mijesam sa onim povoljnijim, o tome koje nijanse bolje pristaju kome, specificnim Revelique nijansama lakova za nokte koji oponasaju dosta popularne Chanel nijanse (radi se o nijansama Avant-Garde i Poetry Slam) – zaista smo razmjenjivale dosta informacija. Dame zrelije dobi su potvrdile moje sumnje kako vise preferiraju klasicne cesljice maskara poput onog kakav ima Revelique Lengthening maskara dok mladje dame vise naginju ka plasticnim cesljicima poput onog kakav ima Revelique Define maskara (moj licni favorit).

I especially recommended the Revelique Eyebrow Pencil since it's crawling into my HG beauty list. I promise, promise to finally review it – a fresh new pencil is awaiting to be photographed soon. One especially beautiful lady commented on how satisfied she is with the Revelique Lipliner and I showed-off how pretty my Revelique Long Lasting Lipcream in Frappe looks like. All were pretty amazed at how long it held on to my lips with all the drinking, eating and talking. I've also showed how the Revelique Duo Powder Blush in Raspberry looks on me and it almost got a standing ovation. Ladies, among other things, received the Revelique Mousse Make-Up foundation in respectable shades and I have been meaning to make an update about this product – I thought that it was heavy a year ago but it's actually so light and creamy and I'm positive everyone will love it. It's like an even more enjoyable version of a tinted moisturizer. My new, fresh-made visit cards made their debut and I'm so glad I finally got the made. They're so cute, with the blog header image and all. I love it! There was one dessert before I hit the road and before I even knew it – I was headed for home with some roses and a fresh stem of basil. So, that is it. My not as short as I anticipated summary of the lovely event. If you were there with me, I'm so glad that you came and hopefully you had a great time as I had.

Posebno sam preporucila famoznu Revelique olovku za obrve koja se cvrsto pocela gnijezditi medju mojim HG proizvodima. Obecavam, obecavam da cu je napokon recenzirati – svjeze kupljen primjerak ceka da bude fotografisan. Jedna narocito lijepa gosca mi je priznala kako od ranije koristi Revelique olovku za usne i da je jako zadovoljna njom. Ja sam pokazala kako na meni djeluje njihov Long Lasting Lipcream u nijansi Frappe. Sve nas je dojmilo kako se dobro drzao tokom cijele prezentacije, uz sve grickalice, sokove i pricu. Takodjer sam na sebi pokazala kako djeluje Revelique Duo rumenilo u nijansi Raspberry i umalo nije dobio ovacije. Medju mnogim stvarcicama kojima su pocascene, dame su dobile Revelique Mousse Make-up podlogu za isprobavanje u razlicitim nijansama. Svakako sam zeljela napraviti jedan update povodom te podloge jer su se moji dojmovi promijenili – prije mi se cinila nesto tezom na kozi no u stvarnosti je jako lagana i kremasta te sam sigurna da ce se barem vecini dopasti. Asocira me na poboljsanu verziju tonirane kremice. Moje svjeze napravljene vizitke su imale svoj debi i jako mi je drago sto sam ih dala napraviti. Prije nisam o tome razmisljala no pokazalo se kako su jako korisne. Super mi je kako izgledaju uz fotku headera bloga – slatke su mi! Pocastila sam se jos jednim dezertom prije nego smo krenuli i prije nego sam se snasla – vracala sam se kuci sa ruzama i posadjenim bosiljkom. I to je to. Ne toliko kratka verzija desavanja te noci, znate koliko se volim raspisati. Ukoliko ovo citate a bile ste na istom eventu, hvala vam sto ste dosle i nadam se da vam je bilo lijepo kao i meni.
