Glam Bag - May 2012 + Review

Finally received my Glam Bag. To be honest, i am not too happy with the products i received but there is nothing much i can do about it. Just hope that next month will be better. 

This month's bag is with the lips/kiss theme. It is always fun to receive the bag. For me, i always believe that a girl can never be having too much bags. If i am not using it to store my stuff, i can always give it away. So, i will think of a way to utilize the bag.

The first item is this Nail Bling. Like i mentioned before in this blog, i am not a big fan of all this stick on nail blings. I still prefer the conventional way. Furthermore, i think this design is suitable for teenagers and tweens. So, i will definitely give this away to someone that can appreciate it.

The second item is this Studio Gear full size lipstick (Autumn Red). The actual color is very brownish. It was pretty hard for me to use it because i got a very fair complexion. So i am still figure out a way to make use the best i can with this lipstick. I am not sure whether this is me being paranoid but i kinda feel the lipstick smells old. Like those expire lipstick. On top of that, i dont think the color is suitable with the spring/summer season. I probably use it during autumn and Halloween or when i need a dramatic look.

The third item are this concealer and eyeliner brushes. For someone like me who jsut started the explore the beauty world, this definitely comes in handy. It is pretty soft and get the job done. The eyeliner brush that i received was not sharp enough hence it makes it difficult to use for that purpose. Instead of using it as an eyeliner brush, i use it for my lips. So, i dont think these brushes will go to waste.

And the last item for the month of May is this Philosophy "Love Sweet Love" perfume sample. In my opinion, this is not a deluxe size but i am not going sweat about it. The smell is really nice and sweet but that wont drive me to buy the product. This is because, i still prefer Fascinating by Salvatore Ferragamo.

Well, this month is just an OK bag for me. Just hope next month will be better. One can only hope for better :)

The Look Bag - May 2012

Look at what i got in my Look Bag this month? An FREAKING AWESOME May 2012 bag. I am not sure what happen to my bag but The Look Bag is kind enough to sent me the replacement bag. That's explained why i got the Revitalash Volumizing Mascara, the Rain Glam Lipstick and the Too Faced Sparkled lip gloss.

 Of course it came with a card describing everything in the bag.

 On top of that, they were kind enough to put in this card. I love this card as it got all the necessary information on different kind of flowers and their usage. 

 Well, i cannot wait to try all the products and come back with more reviews. If you want to know more about The Look Bag, please go to www.thelookstore.com

Vichy Box Review

I dont exactly remember when i received the Vichy Box but i got this when i subscribed to Birchbox few months ago. Before this, i never heard of this brand but i am open to try all the product they gave me. To be honest, they gave very good samples size that last me quite soometime.

1) Aqualia Termal Cream 
Full size (1.7fl oz) $29.95

"24hr Hydrating Care, Infused with a high concentration of mineral-rich antioxidant water, this moisturizer keeps skin hydrated around the clock. Use it every morning on a clean face, alone or under make up."

Verdict: It is a good product that does keep my skin hydrate. None greasy. The only set back about this product is that this doent have spf. I only use this cream when i am at home whole day.

2) Lifactiv Rhamnose Night
Full size (1.7fl oz) $49.00

"Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Care. This lush night cream works its magic with Rhamnose, a plant-derived ingredient (concentrated at 5%) that helps skin renew itself. Apply a thin layer after washing your face, and don't forget your neck and decolletage"

Verdict: I love this night cream. The best i use so far. I have tried numerous night cream and this is the best. Every morning when i wake up, i just feel my skin is soft and healthy. I am not sure about the anti-wrinkle element because i dont have any wrinkle.

3) Purete Thermal 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser
Full size (6.7fl oz) $19.50

"A real triple threat, this unique formula works as cleansing milk, toning lotion and a make remover all at once. Dab it on with a cotton pad, or smooth it directly onto skin and rinse with water"

Verdict: This cleanser is awesome. IT does remove all the make up and it doesnt burn/hurt my eyes. Your skin will normall feel soft each time you use the product.

4) Purete Thermal Eye Make Remover for Sensitive Eyes
Full size (5.1fl oz) $16.50

"Laced with cornflower water and vitamin B, this uber-gentle formula thoroughly cleanses your delicate eye area. Pour a small amount onto a cotton pad and pat into skin"

Verdict: My favourite sample in the box. Definitely do the job and does not hurt my eyes at all. I wish the price is cheaper because this is kinda expensive for an eye make up remover for me.

5) Celludestock
Full size (6.7fl oz) $39.50

"Intensive Treament for the Appearance of Cellulite. Vichy's own Lipocidine complex team up with caffeine to tone the skin on your tights, hips, and derrier. Massage into your skin to zap cellulite"

Verdict: Maybe i got a serious and bad case of cellulite but this product just doesnt work for me.

Glam Bag - February 2012 Review

 My first Glam Bag is the February bag. So with all the buzz in social media, i too signed  up for 1 year subscription with MyGlam.

 1) X Out Shine Control
" Stay flawless and shine free with this oil-free moisturizer with a mattifying complex"

Verdict: It was alright for me. It does do the job to keep my skin matte. Not a bad product at all.

 2) Nyx Roll On Shimmer
"Nyx's brand new, intensely rich, shimering powder that can be applied to the eyes, face, and body"

Verdict: I love this shimmer. The color is "RES14 Salmon". It is a shimmering brown/light bronze. It just help pop up my color and natural enough for me because i love natural make up.


3) Freeman Facial Mask - Goji Berry
"Soothing spa experience with easy-to- use skin-perfecting masks"

Verdict: Something i will keep buying. The mask left me with a radiant and smoother skin. The best part is that, this product is not expensive at all! 

 4) Premier Dead Sea 
"Luxury skincare rich in life-enhancing minerals from the Dead Sea waters"

Verdict: Facial serum (on the right) smells extremely good and a little goes a long way. I only use it at night before i go to sleep. That small sachet actually last me about 2 weeks. When i wake up the next morning, my skin doesnt feel tight. 

Anti -Aging Complex Treatment Cream (on the left) was alright for me. I dont see any different on my skin. I dont think i will be ever buy this brand because it is very expensive. i do believe there will be other brands with cheaper price and will do and give the same benefits. 

5) Nume Gift Certificate
"Enjoy $100 towards NuMe's products. Hair tools that will revolutionize your everyday look"

Verdict: Honestly, i don't count this as 1 item. On top of that, there are terms and condition in using this 'gift card'. So anything with conditions is not a gift card. It is merely a coupon. 

6) Ghirardelli (Bonus Item)

Verdict: You can't do wrong with Ghirardelli chocolate. Both Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate is delicious.This is a bonus item since it is February and Valentine's Day.

The Look Bag - February 2012 Review

 I know this is way overdue but better late then never right? Well i signed up with The Look Bag early February this year. For $10 per month, i think this is definitely worth the money i paid for.

1) Lalicious Sugar Reef Body Butter

" Paraben Free! Sugar Reef Body Butter exudes a fresh, crisp beachy clean scent that blends exotic casaba melon, ginger and white tea. This irresistible scent allows you to escape to the tropical adventure of your dreams. Enriched with Shea Butter which seals in moisture keeping your skin soft throughout the day.

Verdict: This is a good product. Leaving my skin soft and non greasy. I use it after a good shower at nite.

 2) S.S Soap Co - Gingerbread Caffeinated Soap
Non Member - $6.00
Member - $5.40
 "Beautiful Gingerbread scented soap with finely ground coffee and cocoa butter for a silky lather that moisturizes and exfoliates. Caffeine is a vasodilator which works to firm and tighten skin, plus it's full of antioxidants and helps diminish redness. "

Verdict: Honest i dont feel anything special besides the smell. It was just another soap for me with a gingerbread smell.

3) Obliphica Treatment Hair Mask
Small Non Member - $32.95
Small Member - $26.36
Large Non Member - $48.95
Large Member - $39.16
"Repair and nourishing for very dry and colored hair
Obliphica has an advanced formula for intensive treatment of very dry, colored hair.
The creamy texture of the mask penetrates hair structure and envelops it in softness.
Your hair looks shiny and healthy, and has a pleasant fragrance.
The Obliphica plant contains many vitamins (A,E,C,K), and oils (tea tree, olive, rosemary etc.), 18 amino acids, 11 trace minerals and naturally balanced omega 3,6,9 essential fatty acids that are crucial for a healthy scalp and hair.
It eliminates split ends and prevents graying, making the hair stonger.
The mask has been especially adapted for hard water users, being PH balancing.
Your hair stays soft, even after shampooing, drying and styling it!"

Verdict: I love this product. I used after i dyed my hair and it does restore my hair from dry to healthy. My hair was soft after using the hair mask.

4) Shadow Shields
(30 shields)

Member - $7.99
"What it is:
A convenient way to prevent messy "raccoon eyes" from eyeshadow application.
What it does:

Verdict: It is a good product to have a clean make up but 30 shields for $10 is pretty expensive for me. 

 5) Cailyn Eye Liner with 2 Eye Shadow
Non Member - $21.00
Member - $16.80
"Cailyn waterproof gel eyeliner offers perfectly smooth and glide lines."

Verdict: This is one of the best Gel Eye liner i used so far. the brush is need and a little goes a long long long way. You can even mix the eye shadow color to give you a different color eye liner. This is something every girl needs. The website doesnt come with the eye shadow color. The price are quoted only for the eye liner.

7) Jus D'Amour (LOVE)
Non Member -1/8oz $44, 1/4oz $64, 1/2oz $108
Member - 1/8oz $435.20, 1/4oz $51.20, 1/2oz $86.40

"A beautiful, grown-up comfort scent - and really, is there anyone who couldn’t use an extra dose of comfort right about now? Jus d’amour opens with coco palm sweet, but not cupcake-topping sweet. This is a dark and dusky coco palm, and there is a brief moment when it meets the mysterious and green aqualeaf accord that makes us wonder if we might be headed someplace edgy. Then the most soothing, enveloping woods appear, and it is clear that the place we are headed is the coziest chair in the room, complete with a cashmere throw. We can feel the knots in our neck begin to unwind, as creamy Tahitian vanilla wraps itself around mesmerizing sandalwood. Even the lilting violets and jasmine snuggle into the tranquil blend instead of floating above it. Sophisticated and serene, with a warm, soft sweetness that takes the edge off a stressful day. "

Verdict: I like the scent but this is not something i will buy. I am pretty much use back the same old brand i use since i was 15. I am not really a adventurous person when it comes to perfume.
