NYC Shecky's Girls Night Out in June 2010

I'll see you at the Shecky's Girls Night Out!

The Shecky's Girls Night Out event is back in New York City and it's happening between June 15-18. Shecky's events are always fun with your girlfriends where you shop for hand-made jewelry, trendy clothing and sample new products. Oh, did I mention there's also an open bar for cool cocktails/beers and an amazing goodie bag to take home the fun ? ;) Read all about my past year's experience with Shecky's here if you want to learn more.

Details: Date: Tue.-Fri., Jun. 15th-18th, 2010 Time: 5pm-10pm Place: 82 Mercer St. (Spring & Broome Sts.) Shecky’s Goodie Bag + General Admission tickets*: $30 in Advance | $40 at the Door

*Tickets may not be redeemed for cash. Must be 21 or older to attend. Proper ID will be required at the door. Contents and value of individual Goodie Bags vary. Ticket valid for one time use only.”

Here are the sponsors for the goodie bag! Many of them are very familiar, since I have seen them in previous goodie bags. I'm looking forward to getting some of my old faves, esp. from Goody (a girl can never have enough hairties!), Venus Embrace razors, and The Body Shop (received sample cleanser and perfume last time) Some new ones include: Lady Speed Stick, Listerine Whitening, Rembrandt, Suave and DenTek (?Not even sure what that is.) Subscribe to see what I get in June!

PrettyCity presents NYC Beauty Sample Sale

This past Wednesday, was the annual PrettyCity Beauty Sample Sale, partnered with Shape Magazine. It was a great event, I got an amazing goodie bag, won prizes at Shape's Spin & Win giveaway, and bought the most adorable makeup bags from Apple & Bee.

Recap of the event: I spent about 10-15 minutes in line, which was great. Last year, I believe I spent over half an hour or even more because the line was ridiculously long. Why the difference? I think because last year Shape magazine had a code that offered this event for free and this year, the event admission was $10. It's still a great deal because it gives you one drink ticket, an awesome goodie bag, and a night full of fun!


The event took place at R Bar, great place!

* a nailpolish from Creative

* Hollywood Fashion Tape
* VitaFusion vitamin samples
* Whish shave cream sample

Shecky's Girls Night Out- Summer 2009

Ladies- it's baaackkk! Shecky's Girls Night Out in back in town in NYC from June 23-27. If you haven't been to one of these before, it's a must! Where else can you get have a great time with your girls, shopping the latest jewelry trends, tasting some yummy local snacks and having a few drinks all in the same place?

Where is taking place? At the Puck Building, downtown Soho area, located at 293 Lafayette St. (@ Houston St.) The Shecky's Girls Night Out was at this venue last Fall and it was a great location. The one earlier this year was a bit on the west side and a pain to get to so I appreciate it being back here.

I have been to three of these events already and I may sit this one out. Chances are if I go, I won't be getting a Shecky's Goody Bag this year. (See my Winter 2009 goody bag here and Fall 2008 goody bag here. Note: My Holiday 2008 goody bag was similar to the Fall 2008 one.) Plus, I wouldn't want a repeat of last time's fiasco, see here.

They do have some great sponsors, including my favorite Yes To Carrots, and some familiar ones from last year (Aveeno and Aquafresh).



I noticed the National Sponsors, the drink sponsors, at this event do not include Budweiser. There is usually a beer sponsor there to have a beer tasting at the event. They give you a sampling of 4 beers that are not yet in the market, and they gauge the audience to see how well they like it. That's disappointing to see, since that is usually one of my favorite parts of the event. (See pictures of my previous attendance here)
