The Look Bag review

I subscribed to the Look bag at the beginning of March, they did charge me and it says that a package was shipped on the website. However I never got an email or tracking number of any kind. The site says I should expect a package in the first two weeks of the month and well, it's far past lol. I have tried to email and have gotten no response. I understand it can get busy but I would like any indication of where and if my package ever got sent out. When I had this problem with Birchbox the first month, they were quick to respond and even promised to resend if it didn't arrive at a certain date.

I did just cancel, I don't think I should have had to wait this long, with no contact whatsoever, I do see that it's not an overall problem by the amount of reviews on youtube and such but... I feel very meh about the lack of communication and not knowing if I'm even going to get an April bag at this point.

So that's the ONLY review I have for The look bag this month. :-(

Too Faced- Better than False Lashes

When I first saw this mascara I wanted to try it sooo bad, I love long lashes and am always on the search for new ones. However I never actually tried false lashes before, that is until the last glambag, I did like them a lot but they felt weird so I'm not sure yet if I will ever really be a false eyelash user.

But anyway! I ordered this mascara off Sephora.com, It's $35 and with shipping I paid around 40 dollars, that's a LOT of money for a mascara for me! But I watched the video and read reviews and it seemed to be wonderful so I went for it. Well... Overall I am unimpressed. The mascara was clumpy, and the fibers did make my eyelashes longer but they weren't really thick and nowhere near as dramatic as they're advertised.

Definitely not worth 40 bucks, in fact I have some cheaper mascaras that do a bit of a better job making my eyelashes thicker and longer. The fibers you apply to your eyelashes, I think most of them come off when you swipe the mascara again, it may just be illusion but my eyelashes did look thicker after I put the fibers on and before the last coat of mascara. I may just be doing it wrong, who knows. But even so... I have tried this a total of 3 times, I did have to get my moneys worth after all! Lol, and the first two times the fibers fell into my eyes during the day and they really did bug me. The last time they didn't bug my eyes but who knows if I was used to it or what.

After having used the fake lashes from the glambag, I can say that these are nowhere near better than false lashes, and nowhere near worth 40 bucks! So save yourself some money and stick with the normal mascaras!

April 2012 - Myglam and Birchbox

                                Birchbox                                                                                              Myglam

Yay I got both my boxes! I actually received my Birchbox first this month, which surprised me because last month there was some issues with the shipping, and the tracking site wasn't looking too promising this month either. But anyway, as you know both of these boxes are monthly subscriptions for 10 dollars a month. And they send you 4-5 samples of beauty products.

So in my Birchbox, I got 5 products this month, a Zoya nailpolish in the color Bevin. Willa Naturals- on the go cleansing towelettes, Wonderstruck perfume by Taylor Swift, J.R Watkins hand and cuticle salve, and... Dropps laundry detergent (Not shown I gave it away lol). Yes they sent me frikkin laundry detergent. Okay so I'm not going to complain too much because the rest of the stuff is nice enough, I did get FOUR very nice samples. Especially the nailpolish, any nail polish in a bag is an instant win for me, lol! This month was an environmentally friendly box, and overall it's just ok. Not amazed but not completely disappointed.

In my Myglam bag this month, and as you can see it's a very pretty shimmery pink bag, which I love! I got a set of fake lashes, Dermstore Lip quench, Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner and two more of the pink brushes to go in the case we got last month. Myglam confuses me a little bit still, I mean sure they didn't send me laundry detergent, lol. But I kinda want samples of makeup or beauty products. And really all I got was two nice things, and the rest is a little bland. I don't wear false eyelashes, I might try these, I'm not sure yet. As for the brushes... well I have a beautiful set of Teddy Bear brushes from Toofaced, so I'm not replacing them anytime soon. But I wouldn't really consider them a part of the 4/5 beauty samples you get each month. They are a little bit smaller than the brushes I have so I may use them one day if I'm feeling creative.

Who knows, me being picky! lol. I also do have this eyeliner in the same color so I guess all I see I personally received was the lip quench, which BTW I really do love. I've had it on my lips all day, it doesn't smudge off, it makes my lips look so nice and they feel great. This was probably my favorite thing out of both bags, and you can bet I'm going to purchase one once I'm out!

Overall I'm not disappointed in either one, I did like a few things. But I'm not crazy excited, so we'll see how next month goes!
