MyGlam: September 2012

[zadidoll]

Sorry? Don't be. Starting the new thread is a good idea because it's not part of the September bag. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

YAY GOT MY SHIPPING NOTICE.  I don't mind so much not getting it sooner as it shows on my tracking info that it shipped Friday.  It's already updated and I should get it in a few days.  As long as they don't pull a Birchbox and send shipping emails before shipping (if that's what happened) then I'm fine.  It is a little later this month, but they announced it and so that's fine with me.

Yes, it's ironic how MyGlam and Birchbox seem to have taken polar opposite approaches this month. Birchbox sent their shipping notices out 3-4 days before the boxes were actually shipped; MyGlam sent them out 3-4 days after they shipped.

I definitely prefer MyGlam's approach. At least the boxes all seem to be well and truly on their way, and we're not sitting here frantically refreshing our tracking numbers waiting for them to actually update and give us information.

Mine should be here by Friday =].

Spoiler Alert !

I've spent the last two months contemplating getting rid of one of my two boxes (MG aka "ipsy" and BB), and I think after this or next month MyGlam will be the one to go... Not too impressed with this month's. Haven't gotten my bag, but the GlamRoom is open to show what you'll be getting. The nail polishes are just terrible, maybe just on my nails, but very streaky, runny, and inconsistent. Seems like something that was just an easy "add in" for them these past few months. Jane is a brand I used to buy as a child from the drugstore, not to mention I'm over glosses in myglam, but it also makes sense since they are super cheap and they can send them out to the masses. Also, its some sort of "sparkle glitter" gloss. I know MG might attempt to cater to a younger crowd than BB, so that might be a reason for the sparkle/glitter lips, but I just don't think mglam is for me. I've never really been super impressed with it. Everything is just very blah, lacks variety and creativity. Also dislike how we all get virtually the same bags. Just some venting about this month's bag /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Might give it ONE more month due to the name change to see if anything else changes!

According to my tracking Im supposed to get it by Thursday but I typically get it 2 days earlier than the expected date so I'm hoping I get it tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Woohoo~ Mine is already in my city, it actually arrived on Saturday but I am sure because its a big city with two colleges in it and several different districts, its gotta go through a bit of processing to figure out which one to send it to next, either way, its projected to arrive tomorrow~ I got a postcard from my sister from her business trip from boston sooo hopefully that means I'll get this mail too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm the opposite. BB is getting the ax. Too many small samples and foil packets for me. The Stila blister packets were the straw that broke the camel's back. At least give us enough to cover the whole face once! Ipsy (formerly known as MyGlam LOL) has consistently bigger samples of products I'll actually use.

 

[Wyosparkles]

I got the stila foil packets too and that just ...that was the deal breaker for me as well!   I decided to give them a month to rectify, but  I did see my BB box for this month and wow...it all looks like leftovers from previous months!  Definitely on the chopping block!  MG (it will always be MG, sorry!), on the other hand was on my chopping block a while ago and for some reason I stuck with them...and I'm quite glad I did!!  MG has really stepped up their game, I've really been impressed.  It seems to me that they are trying to listen to the complaints/wishes/desires of the buyers and are slowly getting better.  I'm sticking with MG for a while longer. 

So yes...I'm hanging in there...can't wait to get my MG this month!

I'm loving this month's bag. I like everything they are sending.

Freaking Finally!  Good lord...

Weight (lbs.):

Projected Delivery Date:
Sep 20 2012

I ditched BB a long time ago, it dawned on me that I could go to a department store and make rounds at the counters & end up with more samples of better stuff for FREE. 

 

[Coocabarra]

Totally agree! I love the size of samples from MyGlam and Glossybox so much more than I do from Birchbox. They send out too many variations, so you are bound to get a box that sucks hard core. Which happens to me often.

 

[Baberanza]

Still no shipping confo =(

However, since most of the bags are 2 days away from everyone, then I like what they did this month.. lol

 

[ttanner2005]

My bag is three days away.  I can't wait.

 

[AsianRose]

I got my Myglam confirmation number, Myglam bag, and Birchbox all in the same day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[ValentineLissar]

I got my confirmation today!  And it looks like it's only a day away.

 

[missyjluver]

People are already getting bags? Lucky! Post pics!

 

[Fairest of all]

Mine is set to be delivered in 3 days, but considering it's only 2 hours from me I doubt it will take that long. Really excited for this one!
