March MyGlam Bag

Hey guys! This is just kind of a brief overview of the MyGlam bag that I received in March. I just wanted to show you some pictures of what I got. I kind of combined some things together to fit into one photo and since I go over everything in the video I won't spend much time talking about it here. To be honest I was really disappointed with this bag. As you can see these samples are probably something you could easily get from Sephora or somewhere similar. There isn't really anything special about them and I don't like the sizes of these samples, I just don't feel like I got my money's worth :( Hopefully the next month will be better.

Everything I got in the bag all laid out!

This brush is pretty nice and it is very soft. No shedding either!


Murad Eye Lift Protector, purlisse moisturizer, and Murad Absolute Bronzing Boost

Keracolor Shampoo and Dermstore "Giftcard"


March 2012 Birchbox

For this month's box we were given the option of getting the regular Birchbox or the Teen Vogue version and I opted for the Teen Vogue one. Overall this was one of Birchbox's best boxes in my opinion, I have to say that I really loved everything I got which can be rare. I thought the packaging was really cute and really made the box look extra special!
I loved the packaging for this month! Really cute!

Kérastase Elixir Ultime

With the promise to hydrate, smooth, and sleekify (that's one of their words not mine) this is a product I'm eager to try. This is an oil and I've always been cautious about oils so it will be nice to try this stuff without investing much into a product I might not use. A full size is $54 so it is a bit pricey.

Twistband-Hair Tie
I really like these bands, they're great because they don't pull any hair out like other bands tend to! A twelve pack costs $18 but I saw something similar at my local Target for around $4 if I remember correctly.
essie Luxeffects Nail Polish in A Cut Above
I was so excited to get this! I had been eyeing these in the store but decided against it. This one is a light pink with small (almost sequin-like pieces of glitter)Plus this is full size which is really nice! This retails at $8 so that's almost covers the price of the whole box!
Annick Goutal- Petite Cherie Perfume

My first impressions on this are that it smells very good but not good enough for me to spend $85 on which is the retail price according to Birchbox. That is way too much for a perfume in my opinion but if I were ever to become a millionaire I might just pick one of these up!

fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15



With the cap off
 I loooveee this stuff! It really hydrates your lips and its so lightweight, it glides on just like chapstick except a lot smoother. This also gives the lips great color, its sheer enough to give your lips a healthy "rose" tint to your lips. It also has SPF which is something that I always look for in makeup! I already had one of these but I'm glad I got an extra now! These go for $22.50 which I know sounds like a lot but this is a really great product that you can use everyday and has a nice lemony scent to it which I love!  The only other thing was a ModCloth offer which I talk more about in my video review. Overall I was really happy with this box and I got some really good things! Check out my full review below!
