MyGlam Bag: March 2012

Party in a bag. Party in a bag! Get it? Got it? Good. First things first... Am I supposed to refer to this as the MyGlam Bag or is it also correct to refer to it as my Glam Bag. Why are the words "my" & glam" even squished together in the first place? Here I am, contemplating deep questions. Not. Anywhoo... I certainly hope you know what today's post is about after all that unnecessary shtuff. I feel no need to further explain myself and my slightly psychotic thoughts. Now, what was in the dang bag?

• DermStore Care Package: Pur-lisse Pur-Protect SPF 30 Essential Daily Moisturizer (Meow!) -retails for $55, Murad Eye Lift Perfector -retails for $35, & DermStore $25 gift card - P.S. It's not really a gift card. They just think they're cool. You can only use the $25 if you spend $50. All sample size, one time use only.
• 3Lab Perfect Cleansing Foam - Full size product (3.4oz), retails for $40.
• Keracolor Color Enhancing Leave-In Treatment - "This leave-in treatment is especially designed to enhance, protect, strengthen & hydrate all hair types." Sample size, 2 uses depending on hair, retails for $40. I cannot find a way to purchase this on the website, but I did find it here on sale & through MyGlam, here.
• MyGlam exclusive Classic Crease Brush & Case - It's pink! "Hand-selected by Michelle (founder of MyGlam) from her recent trip to Hong Kong for Cosmoprof Asia, freshen up your spring makeup routine with this MyGlam exclusive classic crease brush & brush case."
• Coupons: 20% off for select products at DermStore & $10 off any Keracolor Color Enhancing Leave-In Treatment

Purpose of this bag? "After sloshing our way through rain & snow all winter long, we're all feeling a little extra dry & depleted. Months of dry air outside, blasting heat inside, & hot showers all contribute to that cracked & brittle feeling. Say goodbye to winter's woes with our March Glam Bag! It's filled to the brim with our favorite products to help repair & restore your skin & hair just in time for a bright & dewy spring." First initial thoughts? Not super excited, especially after realizing the actual price of these products. Yikes!!! While the final value of the bag was more than the $10 you paid for it, I would never be able to afford to re-buy any of the skin products. Why sample it anyway? If I love it, I couldn't buy it again, which equals a trap for major letdown. ): I do really like the brush & matching case, but something about this month's bag reeks & I can't figure out if it's the actual cosmetic bag or the faux leather brush case. Don't you just love the smell of a burned Barbie?! (*sarcasm*) Was it really hand picked? Overall, I think maybe we could skip the bags the stuff comes packaged in & get slightly bigger samples of things we could truly afford. I will be continuing my subscription with MyGlam, but am not pleased with what this month's bag had to offer. Sad face.

Thanks for reading! XO Katie (:
