This month's MyGlam bag arrived a bit late but I was fine with it when I learned MG is no longer shipping from California but from North Carolina. First time getting my MG from the new shipping center and I hope next month it goes a bit smoother. Anyway, July's bag was filled with Beach ready beauty items. I absolutely am in love with this bag itself. Its a really cute pink multicolored striped, zippered, mesh bag. I am so used to getting stinky or bags on the brink of falling apart so this was a really nice surprise. Besides the bag, the items featured were awesome too. Think lip stains instead of lip stick and moisturizer with SPF.

In my July MyGlam bag:
*Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer
*NuMe Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner
*Yes to Cucumbers On-The-Go Facial Towlettes
*Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color in Reverso
*Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip & Cheek Stain in Jitterbug

What a bag! Yes to Cucumbers, Josie Maran and Juice Beauty all in one bag? Good job MyGlam! On to the reviews.

I am a fan of Juice Beauty, especially their cleansers and moisturizers. Well lucky me because I got a Green Apple with SPF 15 moisturizer. Its nice but it smells nothing like green apple haha. It's more lemony, kind of like a furniture polish smell. Not bad at all honestly because its subtle. Other than that, it's a nice moisturizer. It is made with certified organic ingredients, not too thick, no white residue from the SPF, absorbs fast and contains age-defying peptides. I actually need an SPF moisturizer to wear well underneath my makeup and to not break me out and so far so good. Not sure if I would buy this but its nice to try.

Thanks to my beauty subscription addiction, I have been getting into hair products a lot. I was glad to get to try the NuMe Hydrating Conditioner. I kind of wish they would have included the shampoo too because I hate using a conditioner from one brand/line with a totally different shampoo. Either way, I really like this conditioner. Not only does it smell good but my hair looked great. I used it with my Fekkai Glossing Shampoo and I really liked how shiny and smooth my hair looked and felt. The Hydrating Conditioner is paraben and paraffin free, can be used on color treated hair, has Moroccan Argan Oil, Bamboo Extract, Sage Extract and SERATIN-K Protein Complex. In the end, no way anything can replace my love for the Fekkai Glossing line but I would buy this.

I love everything and anything from the Yes to lines! For a whole year I was obsessed with buying everything from the Yes to Carrots line. And from then I bought everything from the Yes to Cucumbers, Yes to Tomatoes lines and just recently I began buying stuff from the Yes to Blueberries line. I use a Yes to Lip Butter every single day and keep a Yes to Gloss on hand. Yes, its that good! I love the Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Facial Towlettes. Not only do they work great at removing makeup and whatever else is on the face but I love that they are paraben-free, 98% Natural, hypoallergenic and they smell so yummy! I still prefer to wash my face but if these are a great alternative. 2 thumbs up for Yes to.

I was sooo stoked when I saw I was getting a nail polish in my bag this month. MyGlam got the exclusive on Circus by Andrea's Choice. The colors that were sent were either yellow (Somersault) or white (Reverso), which I got. I was hoping for yellow but there's nothing wrong with adding a white to my collection. First of all, let me say how cute the packaging is. The polish came inside a canister with a logo sticker on the outside and I thought that was pretty neat. The polish is a full size (.45 fl oz) and is not yet available for purchase. MyGlam subscribers got the first ones! The formula is good. It goes on smooth but since this is a white, its very streaky. I do have to say, even with a base and top coat, it peeled or chipped on most of my nails by the end of the day. I wouldn't mind trying another color from this collection and see if maybe it was just the white.

This month's MyGlam bag was really good! I hope they keep it up and keep listening to what we have to say.

Five stars for MyGlam! :D
