Thanks to one of our favorite blogs, Beauty in Real Life, we were able to score tickets to the famed Shecky’s Girls Night Out. These events combine some of the best loves of ladies into two evenings in cities across the country. We’re talking five hours of cocktails, delicious beer and food pairings, fashiosn with markdowns, fun beauty discoveries, and of course, Shecky’s Famous Goodie Bag.

While the goodie bag was great (Avenno, Crest, Shick, Duncan Hines, Goddy samples were just a few of those items included), we have to say, however, we were less than impressed. Essentially, we went in and grabbed our goody bags and avoided the swarms of girls awaiting a complimentary cocktail (we’re talking lines 30 people deep for teensy tiny drinks) and rather “industrial” feeling racks of clothing & jewelry. We can definitely see there’s more potential for this event if they can grab a more “sample sale” sort of feel & get some more high-level exhibitors & sponsors.
