March MyGlam Bag

My March MyGlam bag arrived today.
I was so excited to share with you all, that I had to open them and take photos with my iphone. My digi cam's battery pack died, so please excuse the lesser quality photos.

(Just a note, I have put photos of my box below, so be aware of that if you don't want this months box spoiled for you!)

This is my second month of MyGlam. If you're not sure what it is, it's a monthly subscription service for $10. You get samples and goodies for being a member. I have my february bag tagged under MyGlam, so look for that if you are interested in seeing what products there were.

This months MyGlam is themed from The Dermstore. If you haven't heard of them, they do a monthly subscription type deal as well, called BeautyFix. I bought the mystery bag back in September, along with one month of products from the subscription. If you would like to read about that, here's my blog post with the details!
The actual theme is "Goodbye Winter Woes".

 The bubble mailer is a pretty bright fushia as always. I love their metallic pink mailers, it's always fun to get them in the mail.



Here are the contents of the bag. Listed on the card are the products.
We have:
 Pur-Lisse Pur-Protect SPF 30 Essential Daily Moisturizer
Murad Eye Lift Protector
Dermstore $25 "gift card". In reality, they need to change the wording on this. This is a coupon code for $25 off of 50, not a gift card that you can use on anything you want in the store.

The next three products are the "or" products. You get ONE of the three, randomly selected from what I can tell.
3Lab Perfect Cleansing Foam, Pur-Lisse lip comfort, or Murad Absolute Bronzing boost.

The next product on the list is the KeraColor Color Enhancing Leave in Treatment.

This month there was another "bonus" item in the bag, it's a MyGlam pink makeup brush case, with a Crease Brush inside.

Also included are a Dermstore info card, a KeraColor info card, and the "gift certificate" card from Dermstore. Peeking out from behind you can see the floral makeup bag.

 I got everything above, and then for my "or" product, I received the 3Lab cleanser. While it's great that this is a 3.5 oz, I wasn't super thrilled with that. I already received this product, and the pur-lisse lip treatment in my Dermstore mystery bag and I didn't really want repeats.

The "deluxe" samples bit is also stretching it a bit for the other samples. These sample packets are basically the same thing you can get at Sephora and the like, for free with any purchase.

Personally, I wasn't super impressed with this months bag. The Dermstore coupon is nice, and I'll probably use that. I already set up a trade with someone in order to get the bronzer, because they wanted the cleanser and got the bronzer, and I had the opposite happen. haha.  While I like the Dermstore products, I feel like this is just a total repeat of their mystery bag. The makeup brush isn't bad, but it's not something I would have purchased myself. The makeup bag that I got is nowhere near as vibrant as the sneak peek photos made them out to be. Instead this looks like something that was left out in the sun to fade, and is from the dollar store.
I feel like the bags were amazing in December to lure people in, and they've just been completely mediochre since.
Am I keeping it? I'll give it another couple of months. I've heard buzz that they're working to improve things and have been made aware of how unhappy people are with them, and they are trying to fix that all. I'll try out everything and let you all know how it works!

Monthly Subscriptions & MyGlam March Sneak Peeks!

So, I went a little nuts with the monthly subscription services and ended up signing up for more. Birchbox had the special for annual upgrades, so I signed up for that. I also get MyGlam, Julep Maven, and now I also will be getting the one from Allure & BeautyBar, Sample Society.
There are all kinds of these services out there, but I am definitely not obtaining more subs. I was not going to sign up with Birchbox or Myglam after the controversies surrounding both, but both companies have made it clear that they are working on improving things, so I figured I would give them a chance.

MyGlam has released some "sneak peek" photos for the upcoming March bags and it has me sooo excited! Don't keep reading unless you want to see the "spoilers" as well!


 The first photo we have appears to be skincare. Some have speculated that it's Pur lipcream. I have a box of that that I got in my Beautyfix box last year,. It works well but I would personally rather get something I do not have.

The other products look like skincare items as well. So it'll be interesting to see what, exactly, they turn out to be.
 The bag! Isn't it cute? It reminds me of a 60's or 70s print. Very retro and summery to me. I love it. I wonder what the inside looks like!
 Keracolor is a hair product, to treat colored hair. There are different formulations for each haircolor, so I'm hoping that they pay attention to our profiles and send the appropriate ones!
This last item looks like a leather/faux leather pink pouch of some sort! It looks really cute and pretty!















I know some don't like their surprise to be spoiled, but for me personally, seeing the products that are coming makes me more excited for the boxes to arrive! I like getting to know what it is ahead of time. =]

Are any of you subscribers? What product looks the most exciting to you?
