June MyGlam & Birchbox Reviews!

My favorite part of the month is when the goodies arrive in the mail! I carefully open the packages, carefully hurriedly take pics, and then get to town trying out the samples. Here's what arrived in JUNE:


MyGlam's theme for June was Out All Night. Here's what's inside:

  • Gold, glittery clutch...Yes, it sheds glitter, but IT'S GOLD & GLITTER. Keeping it. Glitter.
  • Philosophy--Take a Deep Breath Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer...I love this, and it's oil-free. 
  • NYX Round Lipstick in Vitamin...Last month was lipstick as well. No complaints here! It's a pretty pink, peachy color. Very wearable.
  • Living Proof--Nourishing Styling Cream...This product stops frizz by using it on wet hair before styling. I've liked their other products in the past--not a fan of the smell--and they've worked well. Oddly enough, this works better for me on dry hair.
  • Marbella--Permanent Eyeliner Pen...I went out last weekend, so this black eyeliner was put to the test. It works! No smudging. And it came off easily with makeup remover. 5/5


Birchbox's theme this month was Jet Set. I loved this month's box, but wish I got the full-sized products & same products like everyone else (conspiracy!).

  • Comodynes--Self-Tanning Intensive...$14.99/8...These tanning towels are easy to use and results can be seen in 3 hours. 
  • Jouer--Luminizing Moisture Tint...$38...I've gotten their other products before, and was just as pleased with this one. I'd describe it as more of a BB Cream, but I really liked it. Dewy, glowy skin indeed.
  • La Fresh--Eco Beauty Oil-Free Face Cleanser...$9.99/30...These were awful at getting shadow off my lids. I used my regular CVS wipes to finish the job.
  • Number 4......Super Comb Prep & Protect...$32...It's a leave-in, defrizzing treatment with UV filters. It reminds me of It's a 10! but this smells better!
  • The Balm's Stainiac in Beauty Queen--$32...A lip/cheek stain that's similar to Benetint, but I love this almost gel-like formula MUCH better.
  • Cynthia Rowley Bandaids...Maybe this is my full-size product? 20 bandaids (for $16) designed by Rowley in 2 sizes and several designs. Didn't try these out, admittedly, but will should a boo-boo arise. Yes, injuries are referred to in an immature manner. ;) 6/7

  2. Your box looks like a lot more fun than my birchbox, which was full of self-tanning items! I think that gold clutch is my favorite...so sparkly!

  3. I agree with Kyla, I think my fave is the gold clutch. I've got one like that and it leaves gold glitter everywhere

  5. I'm scared to try birchbox bc what if one month everyone gets the rad band aids or Dermalogica Microfoliant and I get peel and stick nails? Think shit fit! Hahaha

  6. That Philosophy Oxygen Gel moisturizer looks really cool. I am a fan of their products.

  8. We pretty much got the same glambag, but our Birchboxes are totally different. I will get my post up this upcoming week. I was ready to cancel both services, but I am actually pretty happy with both of them this month (after last month being horrible for me).

  23. WHAT? I didn't get Band-Aids :( I got a man's sample which was annoying.

    That MyGlam bag looks good - kinda wishing I didn't cancel mine!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Looks like you got some great goodies! I agree on peachy pink lipsticks being a great color choice :)

  27. Oh nice stuff! I'm totally digging the band aids! I just cancelled my monthly sample box. I have so many samples and it's becoming overwhelming. I want to use everything all the time and my face paid the price. LOL!

  28. I do the same thing on my blog every month!! Check it out!

  29. I just got my reservation confirmation for BirchBox and am still trying to decide to go for it or not. I already subscribe to MyGlam and have been pretty satisfied with it. I'm not sure how my husband would react knowing I'm subscribing to both. Do you have a preference between Birchbox and Myglam? Sorry to put you on the spot!
