This Saturday (aka yesterday) I've attended the drogerie markt Beauty Academy which was held in my hometown, Sarajevo. European readers will definitely know all about dm (drogerie markt) chain of drugstores which originate from Germany and we all know that anything that comes from that country is like the benchmark for everything. Peeps from overseas might not be introduced to dm drugstores but in a nutshell – they stock many classic drugstore brands (L'Oreal, Maybelline, Rimmel, Bourjois, Max Factor etc.) + their own brands (Balea, She, Alverde etc.). So, what is the drogerie markt Beauty Academy, I hear you ask. It's a beauty event held at Sarajevo City Center (shopping mall) that lasts throughout the entire day during which buyers can purchase items in dm drugstores at special prices, free make-up sessions are offered from many named make-up brands, entertainment for the little ones, there's live music & a DJ (a little bit for everyone) and an all-round great atmosphere. I was there as an occasional shopping mall stroller but also as a beauty blogger. I've catched many nice moments from last night through my lens, had a chat with some make-up artists which have created gorgeous autumnal looks and even discovered an awesome plummy lipstick I never tried before!
Ove subote tj. jucer, prisustvovala sam drogerie markt Beauty Academy eventu koji je odrzan u mom rodnom gradu, Sarajevu. Citateljice sa podrucja Evrope sigurno su itekako upoznate sa dm (drogerie markt) lancem drogerija koji potice iz Njemacke a o njihovoj kvaliteti cu samo reci da su u skladu sa doslovno svim stvarima i uslugama koje poticu iz ove zemlje – apsolutno besprijekorni i sinonim za vrhunski kvalitet. Glede citateljica “preko bare”, dovoljno je reci da se u ovim drogerijama nalaze proizvodi brojnih klasicnih drogerijskih brendova (L'Oreal, Maybelline, Rimmel, Bourjois, Max Factor itd.) + brendovi samog dm-a (Balea, She, Alverde itd.). Vec cujem radoznale glavice koje zanima sta je to tacno drogerie markt Beauty Academy? Radi se o eventu, odrzanom u SCC-u, koji je trajao od 12h-19h i tokom tog perioda su kupcima bili omoguceni posebni popusti, besplatno sminkanje kod vizazista mnogih od navedenih brendova, zabava za malisane, svirka uzivo + DJ (pomalo za svaciji ukus) te uopsteno lijepa atmosfera i druzenje. Drago mi je sto ni drage mostarke i banjalucanke nisu izostavljene mini eventima organizovanim u njihovim gradovima. Nasla sam se medju skupinom ljudi kao slucajni prolaznik ali i kao blogerica. Zabiljezila sam mnogo lijepih momenata kroz objektiv svog aparata, popricala sam sa vizazistima koji su kreirali raznolike make-up look-ove za jesen te sam upravo zahvaljujuci ljubaznoj vizazistici otkrila krasan sljivasti ruz za usne koji, neobicno, nikada ranije nisam isprobala!
I must say that I feel very sceptical towards anyone who intends on doing my make-up but I was pleasantly surprised by a great lipstick recommendation – another testiment that a good recommendation can be measured in gold. Have I heard tons of great things about Maybelline lipsticks? Yes. But have I tried one?No. I know, it‘s a shocker but last night I feel in love with the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in shade Atomic Pink (190). It‘s just lovely and of a moisturizing formula that lasts long. It shall be mine! I came in with Avon Ultra Color Bold lipstick in Coral Burst but that 190-er proved that plums look better on me than corals. With lips sorted, I had the time to take a look at other girls and their make-up which was awesome. From great smokey-eyed looks to bold lips, I believe that there was something for everyone. Chat with ladies from drogerie markt and a mini-interview alongside a few other bloggers in the beauty blogger corner of the event sealed the deal. Despite not being accustomed to spending time in front of camera, passions ran high when I mentioned my work and you can bet your bottom that I spoke highly of my meteorology involved colleagues. A mini weather forecast was thrown in for measure. Yup, we went straight from beauty to weather – my style. As you can tell, I had a great time but we mustn't forget an important detail, something drogerie markt values and that's support to women, victims of family violence. It's such a noble cause to stand up for and, as a woman, I feel especially proud to be associated with people who offer support to other women in need.
Moram priznati da se snazan skepticizam uvijek pojavi kod mene kada god netko namjerava da dotice moje lice i sminku no, prijatno sam iznenadjena odlicnom preporukom za ruz – jedan od mnogih dokaza da se dobra preporuka moze mjeriti zlatom. Da li sam cula dosta pohvala na racun Maybelline ruzeva? Svakako. Da li sam ih isprobala? Do nedavno, ne temeljito. Znam, prilican sok no sinoc sam imala priliku da se poigram sa brojnim nijansama i zaljubila sam se u Maybelline Color Sensational ruz u nijansi Atomic Pink (190). Sama boja mi je prekrasna ali i formulacija je dosta hidratantna sto mi se dopada (takodjer je solidne trajnosti). Mora biti moj! Na event sam dosla sa Avon Ultra Color Bold ruzem u nijansi Coral Burst na usnama ali je 190-tka cisti dokaz da mi bolje pristaju sljivaste nijanse od koralnih – crno na bijelo. Uz rijesen make-up, imala sam vremena da bacim pogled na sminku ostalih djevojaka koje su se prepustile strucnim rukama i vjerujem da su svi prohtjevi bili zadovoljeni (od smokey-eye pa do look-ova sa izrazenim usnama). Ugodno caskanje sa damama iz drogerie markt predstavnistva i mini-intervju tokom eventa uz par drugih blogerica su zaokruzili dan. Uprkos tome sto nemam praksu pred kamerama, svakako da sam iskoristila priliku da spomenem kolege i meteorolosku profesiju kojom se jako ponosim. O da, razgovor je tekao od sminke do vremena pa i do mini vremenske prognoze – totalno u mom stilu. Kao sto mozete primjetiti jako sam se lijepo zabavila no ne smijemo zaboraviti niti zanemariti jako bitan detalj – cinjenicu da dm njeguje vrijednosti koje licno smatram izuzetno vaznim. Drogerie markt u svom radu intenzivno skrece paznju na problem nasilja u porodici. Nazalost, u nasem se drustvu svaka druga zena u toku svog zivota suoci sa ovim problemom. Predstavnici dm drogerie markt-a su urucili su donacije u vrijednosti od 3.000 KM sigurnim kucama iz Sarajeva, Mostara i Banja Luke. Na ovaj nacin dm zeli pruziti podrsku zenama zrtvama nasilja ali i skrenuti paznju javnosti na probleme nasilja u porodici. Kao zena, moram reci kako sam ponosna sto saradjujem sa kompanijom koja njeguje vrijednosti i pruza podrsku pravim stvarima poput dm-a.
