Last Thursday, a friend and I went to an event called "Shecky's Girls' Night Out" for a fun filled night! (or so we thought...). Regular ticket admission was around $30, but my friend was able to score tickets for $11 that included a gift bag. Not a bad deal, right?
Long story short, the event wasn't that great. First of all, we went by the address posted on their website, and got "lost" because the city was wrong! Parking was $9 as well, which was kind of lame in my opinion. The event was 21+ so everyone attending had to show their IDs.
After we checked in, we took advantage of the photo op with the background~ not sure if they sent the picture yet, but yeah. Next, we entered what seemed to be a room that resembled a gym? I don't know, but there were old stadium seats above. Hmm, kinda strange.
The room was filled with different vendors of clothing and jewelry. Basically, if you didn't have money or if you weren't interested in shopping that night, this event would have totally been a waste in my opinion, especially if you didn't get the ticket for the gift bag. We did get to try Pharell's new girly drink called "Queam". LOL. I think the name is a mix of "queen" and "cream"? It was light pink and smelled delicious..but BOY WAS IT STRONG. Ok, so I don't drink but...I would if I could! lol. :3
The stuff that I kept for myself: a cocktail mixer, samples of the Body Shop scents, deoderant, hair elastics, and Soft Lips lip balm. Also included were a bunch of Body Shop samples, 2 random soda cans of brands I've never heard of, an energy bar, some curly hair taming cream, and uh...something that shall not be named. LOL. If you ask in the comments, I'll tell you...
I really wanted to use the Revlon Lip Butter in "Cherry Tart" since it was a red that wasn't too overwhelming for a first time red lippie wearer *raises hand*. I also used the NAKED palette for a neutral eye along with a more dramatic cat-eye. I was all set to go! Oh yeah, and the turban headband I got from H&M. Trendy, ey?
Overall, the event was just ok. Was the bag worth the $11? I guess if you price everything and add it all up, yes. But for the regular price of $30, I don't think so. Would I attend this next year? Probably not. I shall be waiting for the next IMATS next year or any Beautylish events!

Shiny rings! *o* I believe they were $10 each at this booth. Some were pretty, but most were way too bling bling for me.
See...strange blue stadium seating. And vendors we were really interested in.
Maybelline was one of the sponsors and they were giving complimentary spot make-overs.
The bag that came with a whole bunch of randoms. Yes, that is a air freshener.

oh wow, it looks like a night market ish imo.. from that stadium looking pic haha, glad to know you got it for much cheaper! :)
ReplyDeleteShame the event wasn't worth it and wow $10 for a ring... maybe I'm just being a cheapo but there are way better rings that our less but I like the photo you took.
ReplyDeleteOverall I like the red lipstick on you and actually think you can pull off a more darker vibrant red.
QUEAM?! sounds nasty :-P Makes me sQUEAMish :-P Great eyeliner, dear!
ReplyDeletefail whale! Seriously overpriced vendors! And too blingy for me! Q smelled good, but yeah...a bit strong. I haven't gone through the goody bag yet, but I looked online and some people at the same event got better stuff. u.u;; BUT those Maybelline coupons will come in handy if you want more Baby Lips! Buy them at Target and use the coupon. They're $2.99 there, so you can use the Buy 2 items get $3 off coupon, and get 1 free! :D Also, Cherry Tart looks nice! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so pretty Tiffany! The lip butter really suits you :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! ^^
ReplyDeletelol. It does, doesn't it? -sigh- so disappointing.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! And it was all too bling-y for me.
ReplyDeleteAw. Thanks~ will try it one day...as I slowly get used to more pigmented lip colors. :]
HAHAHAHA. I know...such a lame name! XD
ReplyDeleteAhh~ have you used the coupon already? But that's good to know. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd wahht~ people got better stuff? LAME. =[

ReplyDeleteWowwww I agree! Good thing you guys didnt have to pay $30 cos if you did it would have been majorly disappointing and a complete rip off IMO!
ReplyDeletelove your makeup for the day though! And Cherry tart looks soooo pretty and wearable too! A pretty pop of colour without being overwhelming! <3 I haven't yet tried the lip butter you sent me, but i'm really excited to. I need to wait until it is bright tomorrow to take a photo of it before using it though. Hahahahaha...may even try out my new old DSLR that my dad brought me!
