The Masterclass Dubai by Mario Dedivanovic

So I saw the post on Marios instagram in September and told my partner how much I would love to go so a few days later, my partner told me I was going to Dubai and going to the class! I was literally ecstatic and felt like I was dancing on clouds for weeks :)

Flights and hotel all booked, bags were packed and literally 4 days before we left the class got cancelled. Understandable after what happened to Kim in Paris but still disappointing none the less. I couldnt get reimbursed for my flight or the hotel so I was pretty gutted. Obviously I still flew and I had an amazing time!

The class was rebooked for January but aprehensive as to wether the class would be cancelled again, I didnt book my flight or hotel until the week before the event, just incase. Two days before the even British Airways were going on strike and because of that the other airlines doubled their prices. I decided to fly on the Monday to be safe.
I flew from Manchester to Heathrow (hour delay) landed in Heathrow and my flight to Dubai was CANCELLED! I couldnt believe it. After staying in a hotel in London, the next morning, I changed airlines and flew to Dubai. I landed 13 hours later than planned and waited for my suitcase.... my case had been put onto the wrong flight! Seriously you couldnt write this stuff!! Got my case back the next morning, Wednesday by this point and I was then really worried something else would go wrong.

Friday came and off I went. Almost 2 hours of waiting outside the venue (met so many lovely people in the queue though) I was finally inside! I got my seat 10 rows from the front, although it wouldnt have mattered where I sat as the screen was so big everyone could see and in great detail! There was a Mario branded notebook and pen on my seat aswel as a bottle of water. the screen behind was displaying pictures of thr pair from the time they first met up until now, showing the change in make up trends and how much they have grown together.

Then Mario walked on stage. Crowd goes wild and then he introduces Kim!! No make up, wearing a vest top and ripped jeans still looking like pure perfection. Crowd going even wilder.

A few words from both and then the class started.



WOW WOW AND WOW! What else can I say about this class but WOW!
It was literally a dream come true and exceeded my expectations. I dreamt about this class for months and was so excited to go but I had so many set backs I was actually starting to wonder if I would end up going! Mario demonstrated his look on Kim, going for a soft smokey eye and emphasising flawless skin.
He spoke about each step in a lot of detail, explaining what he was doing and why. The audience were asking questions one at a time and he was answering the more sensible questions amid the chorous of "we love you Kim, we love you Mario..." before every question. Eventually we grew tired of the repetive and unnecessary questions so we asked for the questions to cease.
I made so many notes throughout the class, writing as much detail as I could about all the steps he was doing.

We had a little break where they had food outside - actually well prepared buffet style food but not what you find at your local pub this was celeb style food!

Class resumed and this time he got the camera to zoom in on the eyes so we could see exactly what he was doing. He literally puts so much product on her face but because he blends and blends you would never believe just how much make up she has on!

I learnt so much from the class. I honestly didnt expect to learn as much as I did, Now was the meet and greet. The bit I had been anticipating for months, What the hell do you say when you meet Kim Kardashian!!?? Her and Mario were stood on the red carpet waiting to greet us, she asked me did I enjoy the show and thanked my for coming whilst Mario didnt actually say anything until after our photo (I wasnt ready and I was devestated with my pic). He then thanked me for coming. I cant believe I actually met them. Kim is literally tiny! I imagined her to be a UK size 10-12 but she was much smaller, she was like a little doll. Absolutely gorgeous.




Then we got given our kit. It was literally huge! The bag was branded with Marios name and was so heavy. I felt like I was guarding it with my life all the way back to the hotel. I was already on cloud 9 after having the most unreal day but openning that bag I was literally in beauty heaven. Make up from the best brands in the world, an entire range of products that were also used by Mario in his class. There was also the most amazing skin care too, ranging from high street brands such as nivea to a 24k gold face mask worth $995!!!












This course was literally the best day of my life. Its a day I will remember forever. The entire things feels like a dream and the people I met from all over the world were the nicest people you could meet. It was overwhelming to see so many inspirational faces that I follow on instagram with 100,000 plus likes and realising they were at the same event just as normal as everyone else, just as excited to see Mario work his magic.

I wish I could relive that day all over again. Loved it xxx

  2. I was thinking of doing a professional makeup lesson. But, the opportunity is very less of doing one of the best professional makeup lesson by makeup artist, as this needs high-level skills. So, I was thinking who will be best for this. I got to know about Lina's professional makeup lesson! A few of my friends did this lesson from her and she did this really well, so I took this course without hesitation and I am really glad to do this from her. She is really talented and professional in this line and moreover, she is one of the best for this course in my opinion.
