I got
My Glam bag earlier this month. Just a few days after my Birchbox. If you are wondering what
My Glam you can check out my post from last month
here . Basically it is a monthly subscription, for $10 you get a bag with 4-5 deluxe beauty samples and sometimes a full size product.
This months bag was Valentine's day themed. It all came inside of a cute pink makeup bag. I do not use makeup bags so I gave mine to my niece. She totally loved it. Overall this months bag did not thrill me. I still feel like I got $10 worth of product so I am pleased but wish there was more makeup and less skin care.
NuMe Professional Styling Tools
and Hair Extensions Gift Card
This is not too interesting to me because I already have a curling iron and flat iron and I have no desire to spend hundreds on hair extensions. I have the code to save $100 if someone wants it!
Cinderella Mask by Dead Sea Primer
- Cinderella had just a
moment to get ready for the ball where she met her Prince Charming. She
was magically transformed! However, at the stroke of midnight,
everything would turn back to the way it was. Apply the mask before your
next ball or romantic date on Valentine's Day and watch your skin
transform before your eyes. You will see wrinkles become firmer and fine
lines instantly tighten.
How you ask?
- This mask is specially
formulated and packed full of beta-carotene, Vitamin E and A, tea tree
oil, soy protein, cinnamon extract, pro-vitamin B5, Dead Sea minerals
and the mud from the Dead Sea. Oh, best part of it all, it will last up
to 3 days, so feel free to stay out past midnight.
Application :
- Thoroughly cleanse the
face and neck area. Gently massage a thick layer of mask onto the face
and neck. Wait for 5-10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Apply cream
and make-up, if desired.
This is a mask. It did what it claimed and my face felt nice afterwards. This product retails for $149 which makes me laugh. I would never spend that much for a face mask. EVER.
Roll On Shimmer by NYX
Dazzle your face and body with Roll On Shimmer! Jazz up your look with
any of the 16 brilliant shades that wears on eyes, face and body. Loose
powder with intense shimmer and glitter. Simply apply to your desired
body part by rolling on the product and control the intensity of the
pigment yourself! Easily blend the shimmer powder using a brush or clean
fingers and take with you everywhere you go for added sparkle.
I have to say this product is weird. It is too big and bulky to be used easily on the eye and the actual shimmer powder is way too dark to use anywhere on your body. So uh....what are you supposed to really do with it??? It does seem like something more suited towards a young teenager. I had a hard time rolling it evenly over my eyelid. I did however like color of the shimmer powder. I used my finger to blend out the top edge.

I am pretty picky about what goes on my face so I have not used this yet. Have you tried it and if so what did you think? I do not want to even open it if I am not going to like it. I would rather pass it along.
CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!
I am not a fan of food items in these beauty bags/boxes but this chocolate was yummy so I will let it slide this time LOL.
Pineapple or Goji Berry
Facial Mask Sachets by Freeman
Hydrate skin with Goji Berry Facial Hydration Mask, which helps calm, hydrate and nourish for soft, supple skin.
I like masks and I like the Freeman brand but a Freeman mask was in last months bag so I wasn't too thrilled to see it. This mask was good and I liked it but I want to see some variety!!!
So what did you think of this months Glam Bag????
