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!
