August 2012 Glymm Bag

This month I had two different reactions to the August Glymm Bag. At first when I was seeing what other girls were receiving I was very disappointed about this box with all the one time use samples. However, when Glymm sent me my product card by email I saw that I would be receiving a full size Coccolily Nail Polish and was really excited. I definitely think that the nail polish and bag paid for this month and all of the other samples were just bonuses.

Now I am excited that I was one of the lucky ones to receive a full size nail polish but I also think that it is wrong of Glymm to put out different bags with such a different value range. Glossybox did this last month and many girls including myself were very disappointed. Something Glymm should do is make sure that every girl is getting the same value of product in their bag. Something I like this month is that Glymm did not include the bag in the value of the box. Glymm you finally listened, good for you!!!

- MY THOUGHTS -

I am getting more into masks these days so I am excited to try this one out. With the size of the sample I may only get 1 or 2 uses but it will still be nice to try a more high end mask. The full size is really expensive so I probably wont buy it.

- MY THOUGHTS -

So excited for this polish! I got such a nice berry toned pink. It went on like a dream no streaks, dried quickly and was very glossy even without a top coat. I thought I already had a polish like this because it looks exactly like a Revlon polish I got at the Dollarama, but that polish turned out more red and this is a true berry pink.

This the tiniest lip gloss sample I have ever seen! But it is so flippin' cute! :) I love the color it is the perfect nude on my lips. This gloss is very smooth and not sticky at all and the scent is really nice too! If Glymm had a promo on these on their website I might buy one.

- MY THOUGHTS -

I am so glad that I received the blush papers this month instead of the bronzing one I got last time. The bronzing paper was way too dark and shimmery so it went right into the trash. These papers look like they will give a nice pink flush so I am excited to try them.
