This month, MyGlam sent out stuff to stay looking fierce while you are out partying all night long. I love the whole sparkle clutch/bag and theme for this month. But I have to be honest, I had some problems with this months bag. My problems: missing lipstick and stinky bag. And when I say stinky, I mean fishy, musty, awful death stench. I know other girls have had this problem before but I'd never experienced a stinky bag. MyGlam was polite, apologetic for the smelly bag and sent me out a replacement bag and lippie. It took about 2 weeks to get a replacement but I did and again got a stinky bag. Huh? I did the Paper Bag trick (thanks Zadi!) and it worked but it took about 2 days to work. Both my bags were very bad quality. Lots of glitter fallout and loose clasps. Other than that, I looove this month!
In my June MyGlam bag:
*Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Oil-Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer
*NYX Round Lipstick in Power
*Living Proof Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream
*Marbella Permanent Eyeliner Pen in Black
Philosophy? NYX? Is this really MyGlam's bag? So glad they are stepping up their game. On to the goodies!
I absolutely am a Philosophy Girl. Have been for years and swear by their products. This was my first time trying the Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Moisturizer and I love it! I use Aveeno Positively Radiant with SPF on a daily basis but I could totally see myself using this when I feel too lazy to do my makeup or just feel like giving my face a break. It goes on smooth, its oil free and is super lightweight. I also love that is absorbs quick into my skin and how it makes my skin feel refreshed. I recommend this for people with oily or combo skin. I'm not sure how well it works with dry skin but I do like this moisturizer a lot.
Since my original bag was missing the lipstick, I wonder what color I was originally supposed to have. I was lusting over the bright Magenta lippies other girls were getting and was hoping I would get one too. Instead, the NYX Round Lipstick I received was in the color 'Power'. At first, I wasn't too thrilled. Looking at the bottom I could tell this color would be too pastel for my liking. Well, I have learned my lesson not to judge a lipstick by its bottom. Although I wouldn't wear this on a daily basis or often, it didn't turn out so bad. It is a pinky, purple cream lippie that does go on a bit pastel, kind of greyish. Not quite the best color but not the worst. I personally wouldn't have bought this on my own but it doesn't hurt to have in my Caboodle.
I've never tried anything from the Living Proof hair care line but I am so glad I could try this in my bag. I suffer from frizz from time to time, especially since I live in the desert where Monsoon season likes to bring in humidity conditions and mess with my tresses. I personally didn't think I would see any difference but I was soooo wrong! Not only does it smell good but it works. You just need a small amount in your damp and you are good to go. I will be buying a full size of this Living Proof Frizz Cream.
I loooove eyeliner! At the moment I am on a pen liner kick since getting the Physicians Formula Eye Booster Liner a while back so this was awesome to get. I do have to admit I am still a little weary of using this especially since I emailed the company to ask questions about its safety and never got a response. The Marbella Permanent Eyeliner is a pen liquid liner that is supposed to be semi-permanent until removed with makeup remover and shouldn't budge throughout the day. It says it isn't safe to use if you wear contacts and since I do I was extra cautious. As long as you don't get it in your eyes and you aren't lining anything other than your upper lash line, you are good. I really like it. One big problem is the smell it has to it. It smells very chemically and that doesn't sit well with me. Also, it isn't very "semi-permanent". It didn't smudge or budge at first but towards the end of the day, it managed to find its way into my crease. I don't have oily lids and I had primer on so I would have to try it without a primer. Other than the company never getting back to me and the other two reasons I listed, its good. Would I buy this? No. But I am glad I got to try it.
I am so glad to see MyGlam getting better. They do have a ton of potential and I will stick with them as long as I see improvements.
I give this bag 4 out of 5 stars and I cannot wait to see what MyGlam has in store.
