September MyGlam Bag & Review


This Glam bag was pretty exciting to get in the mail! Last month Myglam had a photo contest to be featured on their next postcard and my photo was one of several chosen (as you can see how tiny the photos are on the cards), 
anyway! How awesome i found my tiny pic on both cards!  
The first thing i saw in the envelope was this cute, pink, London SOHO smudge brush- which i fell in love with! been using the dang thing every day since! Great quality brush and I'm definitely interested in buying a whole set of London brushes!
Next the make up bag: it was a beautiful black wristlet with gold zipper- adorable! Everyone raved about this on Facebook so i was happy to see for myself! Past Glam bags have been slightly cheap looking, i remember rumors of them smelling weird and this has been quite a wonderful improvement! 
This is definitely a bag to use over and again!
Last month we received a full size nail polish From Andreas Choice line called CIRCUS (cute name!)  i received the neon pink Ringmaster, and this month they sent us all another color from that line.. i got a cute violet color called Tightrope. These polishes are cute and i still love their bottle shape, but i don't know if i like the polish.... they have a matte finish which i don't think looks good for neon colors. The colors were beautiful, i just wish they shined.
We also got a small tube of Jane sparkle lip gloss (0.2 fl. oz)
I think i might not have been too happy to see this in the bag since we JUST got a strikingly similar lip gloss in the bag before this......so.. now i have two reddish pink sparkle lip glosses....at least they smell yummy, but still, how many lip glosses does a girl need lol!
This next sample i was really excited for! It was a small sample of Mirabella eye shadow in 36 Semiformal. It was a bronzy color which i loved since my skin tone seems to glow when using bronzy colors of make up. I have been using it often and it looks great- i am thinking of buying a full size!! i just recently used it to warm up my under eyes in my Lisbeth Salander costume tutorial on Youtube.
And finally, I got a sample of Carol's Daughter MONOI repairing split end healer (0.38 fl oz) which is decent size sample. I guess you just smooth it through your hair... and judging by the size of the sample i might only get 2 uses out of it ... and i don't like how the directions say "use a PEA sized amount and smooth through hair from roots to ends."
 How am i supposed to do that with a PEA sized amount???? i got a big head o hair Myglam! lol!
Anyways!!!!!!!! I loved the eyeshadow and smudge brush, and i wasn't to excited about the lip gloss, but this was overall a great bag! I'm quite happy and can't wait for the next bag!
