August 2012 MyGlam Glam Bag

Woo, finally, I got my glam bag! I have been excited for this one, because instead of the usual 4-5 sample(or fullsized) products, we all got SIX, including two cosmetics that were exclusively made for My Glam. Yay!

In my bag this month was Circus by Andrea's Choice nail polish in Spectacle (I had gotten Reverso last month) and it is formulated without the big 4 baddies, including formaldehyde. This nail polish, I'm kinda on the fence with. While I do like that it's vegan and without the big 4, I don't like how it doesn't last very long. The colors are absolutely vibrant and pretty, to be sure, and Spectacle is this bright, bright neon orange that supposedly works with blacklights as well, but again, Reverso started to chip within the hour of drying, so we'll see how this one lasts. I don't like using top coats, and most of my other polishes last incredibly long (the Maybelline color show polishes are a gel polish and they've lasted nearly two months on my nails without chipping, peeling or discoloring, without a top coat).

Second up was the Salty Cosmetics loose eyeshadow in Glama-Zoid!, one of the two items made exclusive for MyGlam. It's this shimmery/pearlized iridescent pink that I think is rather pretty. I'm not a girl who likes pink, but I could see myself wearing this. The only downside is I've gotten so used to Shiro's jam-packed loose shadow pots that the amount in mine just doesn't seem right, lol.

Third and Fourth were the eclos Plant Stem Cells regenerative facial serum and anti-aging creme. I must say, I'm not thrilled with the smell of the serum but it's super light weight and goes on nicely, not greasy, and the creme leaves my skin feeling cool and refreshed.

Fifth was the roll on perfume oil by demeter in "Clean Skin". It's very me. Light, not feminine at all, with notes of orange, lemon, vanilla, bergamot, peach, and rose. I'll be wearing this a lot.

Now, I would go onto the sixth and final product, only...my bag seems to have been burgled before it shipped. I got the lipgloss <i>box</i>, but the bottom was torn open and empty. So I've been in contact with MyGlam's staff to get this resolved.

Anyone else get a Glam Bag this month? What did you think?
