Benefit Cosmetics
Fakeup Concealer
{ Product Review : Benefit Cosmetics }
"
Cover-up goes incognito. This moisturizing crease-control concealer with vitamin E and apple seed extract hides dark circles and diffuses fine lines for a silky smooth, ultranatural look. Available in three shades, it’s proven to keep skin hydrated for six hours and won’t cake, crease, or settle.

Good Morning America Undercover Beauty
One of the most important things to me in makeup is sanitation. I have worked with several makeup artists that completely grossed me out and I swore I would never repeat their habits in my makeup artistry. For example, I had one makeup artist drop a brush on a public floor, pick it up and continued using it like nothing happened. I had another makeup artist that used lip gloss and applied it straight from the application tip, dipped it right back in and used it on the next girl. Uhhh, that just gives me the heebie jeebies.
I always use disposable applicators when at all possible. I always cut off lipstick, place on a disposable palette and then apply with a sanitized lip brush. It is more costly, but to me it is worth the benefits of keeping my clients safe.
When Good Morning America did this undercover report, the findings were a bit shocking, but it goes to show how important it is to be sanitary with beauty products, especially if you are a makeup artist.

Shecky's Girls Night Out
“
”
At Shecky’s, we believe girlfriends are a source of strength, nurture and inspiration that women should always appreciate. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to create social experiences that empower and reward women to discover and socialize with their girlfriends.
Our Girls Night Out events have been serving this purpose for 10 years. Yup, today Shecky’s hosts up to 80 girlfriend-gathering events across America! And since we want to entertain women everywhere but can’t host events in every nook and cranny across the globe, we’ve launched a new Sheckys.com for women to discover, experience and get rewarded in a more dynamic and interactive fashion wherever they may be.

- quoted from website
Wanted to introduce a company, named Shecky's. I had actually never heard of them or their events until recently, but luckily just in time for the Atlanta event, March 28th & 29th, 2012 at the Atlanta Biltmore. (Check their website for a list of cities, for upcoming parties near you.) I am not sure what to expect, except that I will be receiving a gift bag full of goodies. As I had the option to purchase a regular ticket for a lower amount, than a gift bag ticket. They also offer promo codes, so make sure to google "Shecky's Promo Code" for the latest discount. I was able to get a $30.00 ticket for $19.00 verses $10.00 for a regular (no gift bag) ticket.
I honestly haven't researched too deep into the website, but my surface impression is: it is a social networking site that helps women connect with other women while hosting fun and entertaining local events to give you a chance to personally meet and greet each other. At these events you will be introduced to new and existing companies in your local area, helping both you and the companies make new friends/customers.
The website offers articles on beauty, fashion, and related trends. Shecky's also offers a rewards program for their members through the OMG point rewards, meaning you earn points for signing up, completing your profile, buying tickets to events and giving feedback. After you have earned enough points, you can redeem them for items they list on the rewards page.
Have any of you been to Shecky's events? What did you think?
