June My Glam Review

My patience was wearing thin for My Glam, I was left disappointed month after month still hoping that one month things would get better (first world problems). The makeup gods seem to have answered my prayers this month, and finally My Glam has redeemed themselves.

Not only did I like the contents of this month's bag but they also sent everyone's bag either on time or early. I saw very few issues with the shipping and billing this month, they have obviously improved their businesses practices.



Pros:
-Bag is cute and super girly
-2 full size products
-2 decently size samples
-The lip stick color I got is pretty
-I have been wanting to try Living Proof and there's enough in the sample to use for months
-The lotion is great for any skin type and feels refreshing
-The eyeliner pen has a fine point great for doing a winged liner look

Cons:
-The bag has a fishy smell
-It's near impossible to take the eyeliner off once applied


This is after rubbing my hand hard with a makeup wipe trying to get the eyeliner off.

There was also some confusion as to if the eyeliner was contact lens safe. The basic gist is that as long as you don't put it in your waterline you should be okay. If the pen gets on your lenses it would be hard to take it off of them. I wouldn't worry about it.

(FYI)Michelle Phan advises you use a oil based eye makeup remover to get the liquid liner off.

Well there you have it, I hope that My Glam continues on sending out great products and that this is a sign that only good things are to come.

May My Glam Review

This is going to be short and simple so let's get on with the pictures.

Here are my thoughts:
-The Studio Gear lipstick while full size (which I appreciate) I got in an ugly brown color.
-I'm not into nail stickers as I like to do my own nails, but again this is a full size product and I like that aspect.
-I have never liked perfume samples in little vials that you have to pat on instead of spraying on. I do however enjoy Philosophy fragrances.
-The bag this month was cute and didn't smell like plastic unlike last month's bag.
-Lastly, the brushes came slightly bent and I think are the worst one's My Glam has sent out thus far.

So there, that's all I had to say about this month. I keep wanting to opt out but a little voice in my head says what if they give out something awesome next month. Darn you little voice!!!!

My Glam April Review

Yes I know I'm super late with this, I just haven't had the desire to write a blog post about this month. To be honest I was let down this month again.

Here's what I thought about this month:
-This is the first month I didn't like the actual bag. It smelled like plastic and just wasn't that cute.
-The lashes look cheap and aren't made of real hair, I don't think I would ever wear them.
-The Derm Store lip conditioner is okay, hard to squeeze out of the tube though.
-I already have a bunch of UD pencils, I really don't need another one (already had that color too).
-The brushes this time were a lot better than the first one, but still we're paying for samples not for My Glam products.
-Overall I'm not impressed and I think I'm going to give them one more month before switching back to Birch Box.

March Glam Bag

I am disappoint.

This months bag left much to be desired, I'm not going to go into a rant but let's just say I have very little positive things to say.

Here's what I have to say about this months bag summed up into a few sentences:

-The gift card is not a gift card as you have to spend $50 to get $25 off, not a terribly bad deal but it would have been better to just get $25 and no stipulations.
-The brush case is terrible, it smells, looks cheap, and doesn't close.
-The brush itself is not too bad but the hairs are not cut very well.
-The Murad eye lift thing is not meant for younger girls which make up most of the my glam subscriber base.
-I like the Purlisse lip conditioner works well and is the only thing I really liked.
-The hair treatment I'm not really feeling either.

At least the bag was cute this month. My Glam let's stick to makeup products next week please.

February Glam Bag Review

I know, I know, I'm super late on this post. It's part I wanted to try out the X-Out and NYX eyeshadow roller products, part extreme laziness. Well in any case here's my review:

Let's start with the bag itself
Pros:
-Totally cute! The best one yet, and totally appropriate for Valentines day :)
Cons:
What's not to love?

X-Out Shine Control
Pros:
-Gel-like consistency that dries fast and is easy to rub on.
-I do feel somewhat of a difference in the amount of oiliness on my face when I use this product.
-Really decent amount of product
Cons:
-I feel like the oil control doesn't last all day.
*I use this product after putting on moisturizer, before putting on foundation.

NYX roll on shimmer
Pros:
-Packs on a lot of pigmented shimmer on the lids
-Don't necessarily need an eyeshadow brush to use this product.
-Did I say it was pigmented already?
Cons:
-I feel like the color doesn't last crease free and pigmented all day, even with a primer.
-It can be a little tricky to use in order for it to look nice and not just slapped on. I recommend rolling the shadow on in the middle and then using a brush to spread it out on the inner and outer corners.

Freeman's Mask and Premier samples:
-To be honest I will probably not use these any time soon. I'm not really a mask kinda girl, and the other skin care samples don't really seem appealing to me.

NuMe $100 dollar giftcard
-Many people had mixed feelings about this this. I personally had no use for it as I have a very nice and new straightener from GHD, and the devil curling iron that is Sultra (aka it will burn your face iron). I gave the gift card away on my YT channel. Also you have to spend money to use the gift card so I don't know if it was really that great of a deal.

It wasn't a bad month, and I did get to try two new products that were interesting to me. I just don't want anymore face masks or get gift cards that make me have to spend money.

Looking forward to next month!

January My Glam Review

So this is the stuff I got this month :)

Freeman Peel Off Mask
Sheer Cover Concealer
Wen Sweet Almond Mint Conditioner
The Balm Shady Lady eyeshadow

Some people got a nail polish from theBalm, this one is in Jade in the USA.

I got sent two bags for some reason (I hope I didn't get charged twice), so I'm giving it away on my youtube.

I am overall really happy with this bag, it included some products I have never heard of before and products I have wanted to try. Also there was 3 full size products this time, I mean wow!

Totally worth the $10 investment :)

My Glam by Michelle Phan Review

So after being severely disappointed with birchbox and canceling my service from them, I decided to subscribe to a new beauty subscription service headed by YT makeup guru Michelle Phan. If you don't know who Michelle is then you haven't been on YT (she is like the biggest makeup youtuber, and is sponsored by freaking Lancome!).

As soon as she posted an update on her facebook about it I immediately signed up. Unfortunately they are sold out of subscriptions right now, so I would like their page on facebook to be notified of when they will have more. The price is $10 with free shipping for 4-5 full and sample size products.

This months bag came with a full sized Urban Decay eyeshadow in sin, a sample size UD primer potion, a full sized NYX matte lip color, a sample size tarte mascara, full size mai couture oil blotting sheets, and a sample mai couture blush sheet as well as a cute bag.

The price of just the eyeshadow ($17), is worth almost two of these bags!

I really enjoyed this bag and can't wait for next month's bag!
