Lucky for us, it\u2019s the ( much anticipated) #GirlsDayOut two day event in Kennett Square THIS Wednesday and Thursday, November 29th and 30th. Scoop up amazing deals, sample sweet treats, and sip a festive cocktail while the ladies at Houppette, No.109Shop, Ashley Austin, and Chantilly Blue help you check off all of those gifts on your holiday list (and perhaps a few things for yourself).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">I figured that I would do a little \u201cpre\u201d shopping because I am, afterall, (pretending to be) a journalist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">So, here are a few things I\u2019ve got my eye on:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li8\"><b>Bare<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Minerals<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Gold<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Obsession<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Illuminator<\/b><b> <\/b><b>plus<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Brush<\/b><b> <\/b><b>&#8211;<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Available<\/b><b> <\/b><b>at<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Houppette<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><a href=\"http:\/\/downingtowntimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GirlsDayOut-2017-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5862 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/downingtowntimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GirlsDayOut-2017-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>As much as I love everything feminine and girly, I have only recently learned to master the tips that elevate applying make-up from \u201cjust OK\u201d to \u201cREALLY good\u201d. Adding a highlighter powder to the bridge of your nose, top of the cheekbones, and on the Cupid\u2019s Bow of the lip is the perfect<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">example. This Bare Minerals kit is outstanding because it comes with the product (from a brand that is high quality) AND an applicator brush. Which, using the proper tools to put on your cosmetics, is <i>also <\/i>essential to achieving a flawless face (FYI).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li8\"><b>Clare V<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Petit Henri &#8211; Available at<\/b><b> <\/b><b>No109Shop<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p4\"><a href=\"http:\/\/downingtowntimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GirlsDayOut-2017-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5864 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/downingtowntimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/GirlsDayOut-2017-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>I am like a moth to a flame for a gorgeous handbag. And, Clare V is one of my favorite designers. This buttery leather, cross-body bag is perfection. It will fit all of the necessary things we haul on a regular basis&#8230;but, is streamlined enough to limit you to carry only what you truly need. The color is a rich, caramel brown that is neutral enough to go with all of your winter fashions. Any woman in the world would go bananas to open this on Christmas morning.
