April Glambag Sneak Peeks!

That the April Glambag is coming up! (I'm sorry, I'll post reviews of the March Glambag soon when I get time to transfer pictures!)
For those of you who don't know, Youtube beauty gurus, such as Michelle Phan, Andreaschoice, and more have this company called MyGlam which sends you periodic professional makeup in the mail for only $10 a month. Sounds similar to Birchbox, but this company also gives you some full sized (along with deluxe sized) products.
I was pretty disappointed really with the last few Glambags, as I signed up for makeup and not skin care (still good to use, but I wanted makeup!). Tons of people complained about this, so the glambag girls finally decided to comply with some more girly makeup items in our glambag.
Every month they release sneak peaks slowly, but surely to get people excited and thinking about the bag they purchased. They already let out 2 sneak peeks for April's bag through Facebook, and I'm already sort of excited for the products!!

Sneak Peek #1:
What the facebook caption said:


"April Glam Bag Sneak Peek #1: It will be more than just black for your Glam Bags this month."

 - April Lederman


This one got me super excited! It's no doubt the Urban Decay 24/7 pencil. I've heard it's really creamy and smooth and I'm stoked to try it out. If I'm sure, this originally came with the NAKED palette, but I was not able to get it as they replaced the pencil with a brush to lower costs. 

Sneak Peek #2:
What the facebook caption said:
 "Sneak peek #2: Adding a little extra drama to your Girls Night Out."
Another one that I'm happy with. I've never tried fake lashes before, so this is definitely something that I'd love to try out. Fake lashes give such a beautiful fullness and definition on peoples eyelashes - it really completes a look in my opinion better than mascara (although I never got to try them). I just hope they send glue with because I'm too lazy to willingly bring myself to a store to buy some hahah. :)

They also said this in a different area:
"Stay tuned as we roll out more tools to store in your case!"
This kind of got me excited. In March's Glambag, we were send a pretty pink case and a crease brush (although it was more like a fluffy blending brush with the size and all). The only drawback was that it had a horrible smell to it (don't know how to describe) that even other glammies hated. Some even threw the case out! According to this quote, it seems like they're hinting that they're going to be giving other different kinds of brushes to add to the set. The funny part is that the case is quite small and would most probably not even fit the other brushes unless they were like angled brushes or something! 


Soo are you all subscribed to MyGlam? Or are you subscribed to any other subscription makeup companies like this? What do you think of this April Glambag? For those of you who de-subscribed, would you think about subscrbing again?

Freeman Facial Enzyme Mask Pineapple Review

So as some of you may know, I got this Freeman Facial Enzyme Mask from my February Glambag. I''ve been meaning to do a review on it, but I wanted to finish up the sachet first before  I do one. I finally finished it this morning - it says that the amount given is for a one time use, but I decided to use it at two different times. 

First off, texture. It was not very gooey, but it did cling to whatever it touched. 
I applied a generous amount to face, as you can see from the picture below. As for the feeling, it gave a great, cooling sensation. I absolutely loved it! The only problem with this mask is the fact that I had to wait 10 minutes until washing off- I normally am too impatient to hold for that long hahah. 
So when I tried to wash it off, it was a bit difficult at first because it kept clinging to me. However, I kind of worked it off and then wiped my face with a clean towel. My face was left feeling fresh and soft at the start of the day.
Overall, I'd give this 4 stars. :)
This is my "Yeah, I know I have weird stuff on me" face. Oh and i pulled my hair and bangs back to ensure that it didn't get in my hair as well. I know, I look absolutely horrible in this picture!

February Glambag Review



When I got this in the mail, I was sort of disappointed. I thought this would come around the 3rd or 4th because they said that they would start shipping the bags to people on the 1st. Instead? I got it on the 17th or something - after Valentine's Day. I don't really care for myself about that, because frankly I don't care about Valentine's Day, but it's a huge let down to everyone who was looking to use these products. The company claimed to have them sent to houses before Valentine's Day so they can actually use the products.
Speaking of the Valentine's Day theme, I actually thought that the product would carry through the theme, too. As in pink or red lipsticks/glosses, or eyeshadows, etc. Things that would really make someone look glamorous. Not mostly skin products.

First I'd like to start off with just some extra perks I found with this glam bag.
1. I LOVE THE PINK PACKAGING.
2. I got some Ghiradelli chocolates along with my purchase. I gave it to my brother because I don't really eat caramel chocolates or milk chocolates, but it was still nice. :)




So now onto the actual items:
1. X Out Shine Control - I never really heard of this brand until now, but it turns out that it's pretty popular or something. It's supposed to mattify your face and you should use it as a face primer. My face becomes sort of oily now and then, but overall it's okay. I don't really wear foundation or anything on my skin to avoid breaking out more, anyways. So yeah, I used it as an eye primer one day (because I keep delaying my purchase of Too Faced Shadow Insurance/UD Primer Potion), and it actually kind of worked. No fall outs for Sidecar (one of the UD shadows in the NAKED palette that are infamous to have fallouts) this time!
2. NYX Roll on Shimmer - I actually sort of like this product. The roll on part of it seems easy to use and very practical. I'd probably only use it for eyeshadow, but other people claimed to use their roll on shimmer when they go to beaches (so they shine!) or as highlighters. I got this olive green color, which is the last color I usually wear, so I'm hoping that some store will let me trade colors? No? :(
3. Premier Dead Sea Cinderella Mask - Haven't tried this out either. I heard that they just say they come from the Dead Sea to make it seem exotic and amazing, but in reality they're just the same as any other.
4. Freeman Facial Mask Sachets - I know this might be weird, but I was excited to use this product the most, even though it's a cheapish drug store product. I used about half the sachet and it gave me a very refreshing feeling. The texture was soft, yet sticky, and cool. I got the pineapple one as you can see in the picture. :))
5. NuMe Professional Styling Tools and Hair Extensions - $100 Gift Card -When I first got this I thought, "You've got to me kidding me. $100 dollars?!?" I was utterly surprised to see that Myglam would be giving $100 giftcards to all their customers. I quickly went on their website to find that their items were expensive, but with the giftcard, they'd actually be pretty cheap- around $20-$50 for a professional styling tool. I was planning on getting a Chi straightener, but since this is also a professional company - and it's a bit pricer - I thought that this might be better product. However, I'm too scared to buy it because 1) There are not THAT many reviews 2) I researched and found that this, like the Dead Sea mask, is sold at sketchy kiosks. Hahah. I know, I'm so bad, but I don't know if I should get this. Maybe I should just get a chi straightener and use this coupon to buy a curling iron for $30 just to use it up and get a decent curling iron. What do you all think?
