So, what did I receive?

1. Philosphy | Take A Deep Breath Oil-Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer
Full Size: 2 oz, $34.00 @ philosophy.com
Received: 0.4 oz, approximately $6.80


MyGlam says, "[t]his lightweight moisturizer detoxifies and helps protect for a healthy-looking glow."

For summers, I usually switch to a gel moisturizer since my skin is oilier than normal this time of the year. I'm glad I got this sample because I was thinking of trying a different product -- I usually go with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.

2. NYX | Round Lipstick in "Orange Soda"
Full Size: 0.14 oz, $4.00 @ nyxcosmetics.com
Received: full size! - $4.00


MyGlam says, "[i]ncredible color that resists wear and smudging, let your lipstick last all night with an amazing velvety smooth, mineral formula."

I saw this lipstick and thought, "Woah! This lipstick is really light!" I don't own any nude lipsticks, so this one is a first for me. As indicated in the name, it does have a bit of an orange tint to it. This lipstick is definitely something I will have to experiment with.

3. Living Proof | frizz Nourishing Styling Cream
Full Size: 8 oz, $36 @ livingproof.com
Received: 2 oz, $15 @ livingproof.com


MyGlam says, "[this s]tops frizz in its tracks, keeping all styles frizz-free, soft and smooth. Living Proof's miracle molecule, OFPMA, conquers frizz by blocking humidity without silicone or heavy oils."

My hair has been getting a bit frizzy lately with the weather change.. maybe this will help me out?

4. Marbella | Permanent Eyeliner Pen in "30" (Black)
Full Size: size not specified, $19 @ diosacosmetics.com
Received: full size! - $19


MyGlam says, "[m]aster the art of beautiful eyes with this unique waterproof, smudge free, and long-lasting semi-permanent eyeliner pen."

I lovelovelove getting eyeliners. I honestly can't wait to try this one out. What also intrigued me is the "duo-tip" mark on the pen. I've read that once you one tip is dried up, you just turn around the tip and it's like new again. Pretty cool concept!

My overall impression?
I am actually pretty pleased with this month's Glam Bag. Since MyGlam's launch in December, they did have some ups and downs, but I can see that they're getting the hang of it. I've seen less complaining and more praising on their facebook, so that's a good sign! From this particular bag, I really loved getting the eyeliner and the moisturizer. The lipstick and hair styling cream might be a hit or miss for me. I'll definitely keep you guys updated! Also, the products received in this bag came out to a total worth of $44.80. Compared to the $10 subscription fee, it's a great deal!

Are you subscribed to MyGlam's Glam Bag? If so, are you satisfied with this month's products?
