As you could have noticed in the previous post (L'Oreal Paris So Couture Look), I had quite a stunning pair on lashes on. I think that it's quite obvious that I adore Ardell as a brand and there is yet a pair of lashes for me to try that I don't like. They all look amazing on, you can tell that you're wearing something extra on your eyes but it isn't too obvious or vulgar. For all of us with thin lashes, these are a heaven sent and I know where to turn if I have a special occasion coming my way. This time I've worn Ardell Black Tie Lashes Mesmerize which are a part of the Black Tie Collection (Allure, Captivating, Exquisite, Intrigue, Stunning and Mesmerize – all the lash models within the collection). As you'll see on the photos below, Mesmerize lashes have a ‘broken’ lash band which consists of lines and dots (don't worry, a clear band runs through the entire length). It looks quite special on itself and I'd personally wear these as they are, no eyeliner at all but for photography – eyeliner makes everything more fluid and even. I've used the L'Oreal Paris So Couture Super Liner here.
Kao sto ste mogle primjetiti u prethodnom postu (L'Oreal Paris So Couture Look), za tu priliku sam nosila prekrasan par laznih trepavica. Mislim da postaje ocigledno koliko sam u biti sklona Ardell brendu i tek trebam naici na par njihovih trepavica koje mi se nece dopasti. Sve izgledaju lijepo, primjetno jeste da je nesto vezano za vase oci poboljsano no ne na vulgaran, preocit nacin. Za sve nas koje nemamo isuvise guste trepavice, ove trepke su kao dar sa neba. Da ne spominjem kako sam sigurna na koju adresu da se obratim ukoliko budem u buducnosti imala posebnu priliku za koju zelim da se spremim. Ovog puta sam nosila Ardell Black Tie trepavice model Mesmerize koje su dio Black Tie kolekcije (svi modeli koji sacinjavaju ovu kolekciju su; Allure, Captivating, Exquisite, Intrigue, Stunning i Mesmerize). Kao sto cete vidjeti na fotografijama, Mesmerize trepavice imaju isprekidanu bazu koja se satoji od crtica i tackica (ne brinite, cijelom duzinom ide prozirna baza). Stvarno izgledaju posebno samo po sebi i licno bih ih nosila i bez tusa za oci no fotografija nekako zahtjeva simetriju i stoga sam koristila L'Oreal Paris So Couture Super Liner tus.
But what makes Mesmerize lashes unique (besides the lash band and the arrangement of tufts and whisps) are the utterly gorgeous black jewels and stones these lashes are embellished. Ardell brand states that ‘viewed from afar, lashes appear to be long and voluminous, but up close the surprise is in the dark stone detailing on the lashes’. I couldn't agree more as the details are very subtle and lashes do appear full and thick and lush at first glance but up close, you can tell that what had a subtle sparkle are the black jewels. I think this is such a beautiful model and these are something I'll gladly wear to give an additional touch of elegance to my make-up. I've applied them as I usually apply falsies. I check if and how they fit the best aligned to my natural lash line. I squeeze a tiny bubble of Ardell black lash glue and run the lash band through it, coating the band from start to finish. Wait for 15 seconds for glue to become tacky, apply and adjust – presto! You're done. What do you say – do you like Mesmerize as much as I do?
Ipak, ono sto cini Mesmerize trepavice uistinu posebnim (pored neobicne baze i rasporeda pramencica trepuski), jesu prekrasni crni kamencici kojima su ove trepavice ukrasene. Ardell navodi da ‘kada ih promatrate iz daljine, trepavice djeluju puno i voluminozno dok vas iznenade detaljima u vidu tamnih kamencica, kada im se priblizite’. I zaista, ne bih se mogla vise sloziti sa opisom i efektom posto su kamencici dosta suptilni. Trepuske stvarno na prvi pogled djeluju klasicno uvijeno, gusto no cim se priblizite shvatite da sitno svjetlucanje pri treptaju oka potice od crnih kamencica. Mislim da je ovo odlican model koji cu nositi kada god budem zeljela unijeti dodatni dasak elegancije u svoj make-up. Nanijela sam ih kao sto nanosim sve lazne trepavice, prvo sam otprilike odredila u koju poziciju cu da ih namjestim tik iznad vlastitih. Potom sam istisnula samo mali baloncic Ardell crnog ljepila za trepavice i kroz baloncic provukla bazu trepavica cijelom duzinom. Sacekala sam cca 15 sekundi da ljepilo malo ocvrsne i stavila ih na predvidjeno mjesto. I to je to, to je sva mudrolija. Sta kazete – da li vam se Mesmerize trepavice dopadaju koliko i men? Ukoliko ste iz BiH, obicno cete ih pronaci preko Facebook stranice Lilocosmetics Kakanj no receno mi je da je ovo relativno rijedak model tako da im nije uvijek na stanju.
