My Favorite Things: Drug Store Edition

Although I do own plenty of high-end cosmetics, I am very fond of drug-store brand cosmetics.  In many cases,

these items can be just as good as higher end brands, but they lack the price tag of high-end brands.  So this week, I decided to ro

NYX’s I dream of Antigua: Eyeshadow swatches

Although NYX’s eyeshadows are no comparison to Urban Decay, I do like this 5 pan palette, I think this is a pretty reasonable purchase for lovers of blue. The packaging is really sturdy, and sleek. Moreover, the shadows are reasonably pigmented, finely milled and creamy. It does not last too long, so I primer would be definitely recommended. Read More

NYX Tinted Lip Spa (The tinted lip balm you’ve always wanted)

 

 

Creamy textured, slightly minted, glossy finish tinted lip balm are what these are in summary. I’ve always been a stack-on-3-layers-of-lip-products girl, but ever since I’ve acquired these, I been poping them onto my lips as its own. I’ve found the combination of a lip balm, gloss and stick.

My Glam Bag!

A few days ago I finally received something I had been patiently waiting for, my very first glam bag which I ordered from myglam.com.

Myglam.com is a company created by YouTube beauty guru’s MichellePromiseJessicaAndrea, and Bethany.

For only $10 a month you receive an adorable little makeup bag in the mail filled with 4 to 5 full size products or deluxe size beauty samples.

Similar sites include birchbox, new beauty test tube, and beauty army, amongst others.

These are some of the things that I like about MyGlam:

  1. When you first join the site you take a beauty quiz to create your personalized beauty profile
  2. Every month the gurus will create looks using the products in that months GlamBag
  3. You get to see what you are getting before your package comes in the mail which gives you something to look forward to
  4. The samples are from good quality, popular brands which guarantees you will love it
  5. Very afforadable
  6. It comes with a new cosmetic bag every month!
So let’s get to the point and talk about my package!

 

The GlamBag comes inside an already adorable metallic pink, bubble wrap package with a note from Michelle and the team.

This months cosmetic bag was white with purple lines going in different directions and included coupon codes for Urban Decay and Mai Couture. Read More
