So what would you like to see? Right now is actually a good time to let them know because they were finishing wrapping up what's coming in the bags for the rest of the year so inputting what you'd like to see may end up happening in the bags come the new year.

I feel like a greater variety of types of products would be what I'd recommend. Over the past several months especially, it seems like there's been an overwhelming amount of lip glosses and nail polish, and to a lesser extent eyeshadows and eyeliners. I do like the fact that MyGlam/ipsy seems to focus more on make-up than skincare and I definitely would like them to stay that way, but I do feel like there should be a way to change things up a little more. For example... For lips: Lipsticks, lipstains, lip pencils... I know MG has had at least 1 of each of those in the past, but it would be better to alternate than have 3 months of lip gloss in a row, especially since not everyone likes gloss. For eyes: We've had regular eyeshadows and a loose shadow, so maybe an eyeshadow stick/chubby liner to switch things up. I also wouldn't mind a return of false lashes (although this time from a known brand with English instructions...). Eyeliners are great and almost everyone finds a use for them so I wouldn't want to see those go away, but I'd just suggest a rotation of the different kinds of applicators/textures, eg. one month liquid, one month traditional pencil, one month felt-tip, one month gel pencil, etc. I'd also be very happy with a brow powder/pencil but given how unpopular that was when Glossybox did it, I'm not sure if you want to open that can of worms. (But I'd be happy!

I would love to see a primer or a finishing powder. I don't personally want a blush/cheek tint but I'd take it for the variety. A bronzer would be okay but that gets tricky with people's coloring and preferences. A highlighter of some sort would be great though. Maybe a spot concealer? For nails: I wouldn't want to see any nail polish this month or the next given that we just had 3 in a row, but I'd be fine with them making a return. I think the key is just varying up the brands. I feel like the point of a subscription is that you introduce somebody to a brand/product and if they like it they can buy other products from the same brand/line, not keep pushing the same product on them month after month. Things like nail wraps, stickers, glitter and embellishments for the sake of varying things up would be OK with me too. Maybe a nail art pen!? For hair: I'm personally not a fan of hair products in sub boxes and I wouldn't mind seeing less of these. I just feel like people's needs are too individual. I did feel like the Carol's Daughter sample was pretty good because split ends are a concern for almost everybody so it seemed like a fairly good universal product. But I feel like most hair products just aren't that catch-all. For skin: Again, I like MG focusing on make-up so I wouldn't want to see a huge increase in skincare. But I would be okay with something like a make-up remover or cleanser. Again, I feel like those are universal enough and it makes sense that if you're going to send a bag with make-up, you also give people products to help remove it.

Or maybe if they're getting serious about the personalization, maybe only sending the anti-aging products out to the older subscribers. Other: I really liked the Soho brush and would definitely be happy with similar accessories. Maybe an eyelash curler or something like that? Or as somebody suggested, a magnetic palette. A really good eye pencil sharpener is also always good to have.
