MyGlam: September 2012

[lauravee]

Go my bag a day early! So I actually really like the eyeshadow, but this is my first loose pan and I'm not quite sure what to do with it for safekeeping. I don't want to spend a lot on something like a uni-pallette for one shadow. hmmm....

Got my bag just now. One eyeshadow pan... nice color though.

So i received myglam bag today, and was super excited. BUT I have to warn everyone about the $20 off ipsy.justfab.com offer, it's actually a subscription you have to pay $39.95 after purchasing items from their site. Took me awhile to cancel the subscription. I rather not use the $20 and go through so much trouble to cancel the justfab VIP subscription. So read other reviews first before you want to buy from justfab.com. 

Other then that, i am happy with this month.

Highlight for spoilers.

Got mine pretty early today as well.  The shadow color has a nice warm almost orange-copper tone to it.  It's 36 semiformal.  I'm presuming everyone got the same?  I'm not quite sure how to store it either.  The Jane sparklegloss is in sparklepink is really thick, creamy, mildly sticky, and looks a bit youthful in the color and sparkle options.  Not bad, nothing exciting, or anything I'd repurchase.  Ok, it's feeling pretty crazy thick on my lips now, and the scent is plastic-y cheap makeup-y fake vanilla.  I could see this get irritating.  The brush seems pretty decent.

Makes me realize that in comparison to Glossy Box's last bag, this feels worth much less than half to me for sure.  Although GB had a standout bag this last go around, comparing the similar items in this bag with theirs, the others were significantly nicer in quality.

I'm still hanging on for now because it's fun, but I'm realizing I'm less interested in the items in general.

I got my bag today! The same brown eyeshadow that everyone seems have gotten in Semi Formal. It's basically like a rust color almost, on my NC15 skintone. I'll def. use it. But I am not a fan of just a pan w/o a top to go on it!

The nail polish is alright, but if you own Julep's Helena, they're exact dupes of one another. I put it on a white card and you can't even tell which is which at all. Same color, same formula everything. So that was sort of disappointing.

The gloss is nice, glad it's not a gigantic tube! I prefer smaller tubes.

All in all, it's not my favorite glambag/Ipsybag, but it's not the worst either.

Can't wait to get mine, hopefully tomorrow and my BB hasnt come in the mail yet.

It fits in the Elf palette.  If you have a Target near you, they should have them available for $1.

Got my first Glam bag today...



I'd love to know other's opinion on how this bag compares to previous ones. Here's a blog post with the details of the items.

It's not by blog, I just came across it when googling the Carol's Daughter's item. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet so I'd love to know what other's think.

I think I'm going to be quite happy. I need the split end treatment ASAP! I can always use an eyeshadow that color. I'll go to Target and get the $1 ELF pan to put it in. The brush looks awesome!!!! I use shellac for my nails but I think the polish will be an awesome toe color. As for the lip gloss, I'm a lip gloss junkie. I have so many but will never turn down a pink gloss, also I love glitter glosses! I don't care what Jane used to be I'll give it a try with an open mind. I will say this box is WAY better than my BB!!!!

 

[bbbrandnewww]

Didn't Jane actually recently redesign themselves?

Anyways... I logged into Ipsy.... no new quiz? Anyone else not have it?

 

[Shauna999]

I also logged into the new ipsy site. I didn't come across a new quiz and I was looking. Under my account I noticed that it said green eyes, blonde hair, fair skin which I'm thinking must have been from the first quiz I took when it was my glam. I read there now customizing our boxes to our profile, this should be fun!!

I'm getting my bag tomorrow and I'm going to try to put my lil pan eyeshadow down in a lil pot I have for beading... I hope it fits lol, I don't have a target near me and I'm not paying $7 shipping for a $1 pallette lol

Your post reminded me that I have a couple of small, shallow plastic containers with a hinge lid that would work great for the eyeshadow pan. I bought a three pack for $1 at a dollar store or Big Lots. My daughter used one for a classroom project. I believe they were originally intended for pill boxes.

I have one thing to add about MG/Ipsy. They are the one sub company that gets better and better. It really appears they are trying to please the masses. I was subbed in the beginning and there were months and months of brushes (which I liked but a lot of people didn't) a lot of foil packets, coupons you had to spend money to use, shipping issues, etc. Now it seems to me they are really trying to get better and I appreciate that. This  unlike some subs I know that seem to be going downhill... (Birchbox I'm looking at you.)

I haven't received my bag yet, and it will be my first bag too. I don't wear eyeshadow so that and the brush I don't really have use for. Love the nail polish and split end repair. Already know I won't use the lip gloss because I think wearing lip gloss is so damn uncomfortable, it's always sticky and my hair gets stuck in it and it usually tastes gross and chemically. Although I've never put money into a higher quality gloss because I'm more of a balm/matte lipstick girl, so maybe this will be better. It could suprise me and be a great formula, but the whole sparkly pink thing seems really 'Pretty Pretty Princess' to me. All in all, I'm not complaining, it's only $10 and I'll use the polish and hair treatment and it's so cool it comes with a bag. Looking forward to seeing the quality of the bag, it looks really cute.
