June MyGlam Bag Review

June MyGlam Bag!

What was in June's Bag:

 

The bag itself -Woops!  I forgot to take a picture of the bag!  They sent us a little something different this month.  Usually the bags are the same zipper-style makeup bag.  This month, they sent us a bag around the same size, but the fastener is a fold-over snap instead of a zipper.  The color is a gold sparkle.  It's still a bit "cheap" feeling like the other bags, and I expect that only paying $10/month.  It could be used as a once in a while clutch purse for a hot night out for sure!  The glitter will probably fall off a little bit and it might not hold up to regular every day wear like a regular purse, but it can definitely double as a cute accessory!

NYX Round Lipstick in "Iced Honey"

NYX Round Lipstick Lipstick in "Iced Honey"  - Yet another nice lipstick that seems very creamy/smooth. The packaging is cute and it is a full-size product.  The color I got is Iced Honey which is a shimmery pale pink/gold color.  This color is MUCH more up my alley than the last lipstick they sent me.  I've worn it a few times and I really love it!  Definitely a keeper!  Value - $4.00

Philosophy "Take a Deep Breath" Energizing Oxygen Gel

Philosophy "take a deep breath" energizing oxygen gel sample - I've been switching up my moisturizer a lot because I've been getting so many samples of it through MyGlam and other sample sites.  The sample of this is a pretty good size, which is always exciting.  It boasts that it is oil-free, which is another big plus when moisturizing my face.  I have combination skin, so I don't want to break out from oily moisturizers.  I've used this for about a week and a half and my face feels very soft and the texture feels "even" - no more dry skin patches here and oily patches there.  The cream is light blue and on the watery side of creamy.  It has a slight smell, but nothing harsh. It is a bit pricey ($34 for a 2 oz. jar) so it is unlikely that I will purchase the full-size.  I am very happy with the sample though, I definitely feel like I got my money's worth through MyGlam. Value -Unknown (probably can get the same sample for free from Philosophy)

Marbella Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black

Marbella Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black - More eyeliner!  I'm big on eyeliner.  I especially love wearing cateye liner when I do my makeup.  I was very excited to receive this eyeliner pen from MyGlam this month because these types of pens take the guesswork out of doing cateye style liner!  I usually use liquid eyeliner with a brush, so this is a little bit different for me.  It really looks like a regular marker.  It has a soft, but chiseled felt tip that you can pull out and flip around when one side gets too soft.  The eyeliner is very black, but I wouldn't call it "true" black.  It has some blue tones in it and isn't BLACKEST black.  It claims to be waterproof, but it mostly isn't.  I still like it quite a bit though and will probably be using this on a regular basis.  They sent us a full-size and I have a full bottle of liquid eyeliner, so I am set for a while!  I probably would not purchase this because it is pretty pricey at $20/pop! You can order this through MyGlam's pop up shop or from https://diosacosmetics.3dcartstores.com/Marbella-24hr-Semi-Permanent-Eyeliner--Extreme-long-lasting_c_14.html  Value - $19.99

Living Proof frizz Nourishing styling cream- MyGlam was doing a contest for a while for Living Proof to show how people's hair changes after using the line of products.  I didn't participate because I didn't own any of the products, but they sent us the nourishing styling cream as a sample in our June bags.  I tried it for a few times and I have to say, I'm not a fan.  It smells decent and is creamy, but my hair felt quite dried out and greasy (much like it did with keracolor) after using this stuff.  I probably wouldn't purchase this again, but it was a wonderfully sized sample and the packaging is very nice. Value: Approximately $12.00 (4 oz size is $26, this sample was a 2 oz.)  You can purchase this at:  http://www.livingproof.com/buy/no-frizz-straight-cream

The Verdict:

June's MyGlam bag was RIGHT ON THE MONEY.  I mentioned that I was considering cancelling after this bag if it wasn't up to par, but it was, so I am sticking it out for another month.  They didn't send us brushes this month which I was happy about.  The bag itself was also different and cute - certainly a great idea to switch things up a bit.  The products were well thought out as well and all of them were satisfying sizes (either deluxe sized samples or full-size items).  I hope MyGlam keeps up this quality, because I won't be able to bring myself to cancel if they do!  They mentioned July's will be just as awesome, so I am looking forward to that BIG TIME.  Only a few more weeks until I have July's in my hot little hands.  In the meantime, I'll be enjoying these items.
