MyGlam January Bag

I finally received the  MyGlam bag that everyone has been coveting over for the last two months.  MyGlam is another beauty, focused company that offers monthly subscription at a very reasonable price of $10.  They started advertising in November and were sold out within a few days. They immediately climbed from 500, to a reportedly, 250,000 members and are increasing in number as we speak.


Their first sample glambag debuted in December and retailed somewhere around $60.  It included the ever-so-popular eyeshadow in Sin and travel eyeshadow primer from the high-end brand, Urban Decay.  The shadow alone retails for $18 and the primer for $9.   In addition, MyGlam has one-upped their competitiors by including a resuable makeup bag that they produce with a different design and theme each month.


Since then, women of all ages continue to hover over their computers waiting for slots to open as there is presently a waiting list.  Their facebook is constantly slammed with incessant requests for openings and those who get in are now betitled as "Glammies."




In my January Bag:
1. Sheer Cover Duo Concealer (full size) $20
    Not my color at all.  Surprised they took a chance at sending something so personal  
    as  this.  Foundations and concealers are always best if tested out by the individual
    using it.
2.Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner (travel size)
   Have heard of the brand and curious to try this out since I love almond scented products
3.Freeman Cucumber Facial Peel-Off Masque (full size) $4
   Haven't tried it yet, but read good reviews and I can always use a good masque.
4.theBalm Cosmetics Shady Lady eyeshadow (full size) $16
   Pretty color, but doesn't really show up on my medium tan skin-tone.  Might have to
  pass this one down to a friend.


Although, a couple of items didn't quite work out for me, I am overall pleased with my bag.  MyGlam delivered what they promised.  What I know from others experience, is that many of these subscription companies start out extravagant with full sized products and as memberships grow, the products start to wane.   Only time will tell, but so far, I am enjoying being a "Glammie."
