February MyGlam Bag Review

Alright, girls! I'm finally writing my first blog! I've been meaning to for a while now, but haven't really had the time. But now that I'm working from home, I have so much time that I don't know what to do with it! Anyway, onto the review that I've been excited about doing all month! What we've all been so impatiently waiting for... well at least I know that was! The February MyGlam bag! So after a week of tediously stalking MyGlam's Facebook and Twitter, I caught a few sneak peeks of this months bag. Needless to say, I was quite surprised with what hints they were giving! 

Here's what came in my February MyGlam bag! I was a little disappointed when I didn't receive a working tracking number.. again. Last month I had the same problem, but at least I got my bag! And I'm very excited that after all my anxiousness and stalking of the MyGlam facebook, that my bag finally arrived this morning! I know, I also noticed that the bags contents were not really "Valentines Day" themed, but they did throw in two pieces of chocolate, in that little silver box. I wasn't expecting that little treat at all.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that MyGlam changed their signature lilac/pink bubble wrap packaging to a hot pink color. Was this only for Valentines Day, or is it a permanent change? I honestly LOVE the color that February's bag came in! Who doesn't want to see a hot pink package in their mailbox? This color just screams MyGlam! I was also surprised to see Jessica Harlow staring on MyGlams welcome card, which tells you about the bag and the products you received. I'm glad to see that other stylists will be featured in different bags, not only Michelle Phan.

 

Contents of the February Glam Bag:

NuMe Professional Styling Tools& Hair Extensions 100$ Gift Card

The bag for February is pink with black hearts on it, perfectly themed for Valentines Day. I was surprised at how much can fit in this bag, as it's very roomy when everything is placed inside. I think this bag would be perfect to tote and camouflage your "feminine toiletries" during that time-of-the-month. Not attractive to open your purse and a tampon flies out! Come on ladies, it's happened to all of us! ;) It also has an easily cleanable material inside, which is handy when your makeup spills.

One thing I did notice about my bag in particular was that I was missing the cards from NYX and Premier. Apparently there were codes on both of them for discounts on their products. For the other Glammies who did not receive these discount code cards either, I went on MyGlams Facebook page, and another Glammie was awesome enough to help me out. Here's what she said,
"the nyx card has a code for 30% off the roll on shimmer. the code is GLAMMENYX and you use it on the nyx website. The premier card has a code for 50% off the cinderella mask, "MYGLAM" for use on their website."

The first item I received in my bag was X Out Shine Control, which I'm not sure if I will use or not. My skin is really sensitive and dries out with many acne products. Especially proactive products. I have eczema, so I'm not sure if this will affect my skin and make me get an outbreak. Anyone want to trade me for a NYX Roll on Shimmer in any color but Light Blue? 

The second product I received was a full-sized NYX Roll on Shimmer in Light Blue. I love how they always give a full-sized NYX sample. It's a really pretty light blue colored powder with silver reflects. The swatch above is pretty true to the color, and although it's pigmented when swatched, it's messy and when used on my eyes had a LOT of fall out. When you blend it into your skin, it almost turns translucent and all you see is the silver sparkle. It's very subtle and pretty. If used with a primer, I guess this could look pretty as an inner corner highlight.

The third thing in my bag were two samples from Premier. I got the Dead Sea Concentrated Facial Serum & Instant Stretching and Revitalizing Mask. Like I said, my skin is very sensitive and I most likely wont even use these. When I looked on their website, you could get three free samples of your choice and all you had to pay was shipping and handling. I think some girls said the shipping was around six dollars. I'm not impressed by these samples. I also researched the products, and they sell for 20 dollars on Amazon.com, although they're being sold for over 100$+ on the Premier website. If anything, I suggest buying it off of Amazon. It's cheaper and most likely the real deal. Much like the NuMa website, they overprice their items.

 
The fourth thing in my Glam Bag was the Freeman Facial Mask Sachet in Gogi Berry. It says that it hydrates and soothes skin. I'm hoping that this facial mask doesn't break me out or cause my eczema to act up, but normally hydrating masks are alright for my sensitive skin. I really wanted the Pineapple Mask because I love the smell of pineapples, but we'll see how this one works for me. I'll definitely find the Pineapple one in a store near me. 

Lastly, the item that I was most excited about, the NuMe Professional Styling Tools& Hair Extensions 100$ Gift Card! I've been looking for a good hair dryer for a couple months now, and haven't found one that I would like to invest in. However, NuMe was nice enough to give Glammies a 100$ gift certificate, which is really more like a coupon. You can only buy hair tools or hair extensions. It excludes all hair care products and hair accessories. However, the deal doesn't end there, they also sent out an e-mail through MyGlam with a code that will also give us 50% off of ANYTHING on the website. Including hair care products, and accessories. Awesome right? I will be taking advantage of this offer as soon as I can. The coupon is good until August 31st of this year. So don't feel pressured to buy something now if you can't afford it. Save up for it and treat yourself!

For the girls that didn't get the email from MyGlam& NuMe, here's the code:
"50% OFF everything on the NuMeOnline.com. Use code: MYGLAMAGRAM14 and get ready to splurge and enjoy the fabulous perks of being a MyGlam Member."

And a little surprise for Valentines Day, we were send two samples of  Ghirardelli chocolates. Since I'm not really a fan of chocolate, I let  my husband gobble them up. Needless to say, they didn't last long enough to photograph. Hahaha. :)

Stay beautiful and please check my blog from time to time! I'm hoping to post more blogs daily.
