MyGlam, Birchbox June 2012

My first MyGlam and Birchbox subscriptions for June have arrived! 

                                                                     MyGlam-$10

I was very impressed with the MyGlam box! Being that I heard some so so reviews 
about the company. The theme for this months box was "Out All Night" which I 

instantly noticed when I opened up the hot pink bubble wrap was a very gold and 
sparkly little clutch like bag that has a snap clasp! So very cute. 
Inside were three cards one with the theme that showed the lovely 
AndreasChoice! One of the affiliates and also a very well known YouTube guru! 

                                                                                           The products:

I loved how received a product for every aspect of beauty.

Rating: 5 of 5

Shipping time/Waiting: Shipping took 4 days to receive from W. Coast

*NOTE - If when you sign up there are no available subscriptions you will be put on a wait list then you will receive an email to reserve your spot before the months boxes are sent out subscribe and pay for your subscription. I was on the waiting list for 6 days then was asked to signed up for the subscription and my box was sent out 9 days after.
Quality of box: I was surprised with the sizes of  the samples, definitely enough product to see if you love or just like the product! The cosmetic products I received seem to be full size. Definitely not samples. Which is great because most women complain about their boxes not containing make-up. Not here! It was actually that the other items other than makeup were samples 
Satisfaction: 5 of 5

Continuing Subscription?: YES!

Birchbox-$10

This months theme was Jet Set and included things you may need when traveling or 
on the go this summer! Or even just traveling where ever. All cosmetic products were said to be long lasting. One thing I disliked about this months Birchbox is that the 3 out of the 4 samples were very tiny! The Biggest sample was the UK brand eye stick as you will see below:

I received items for the different aspects of beauty as well.

Skin: Yu-be Moisturizing skin cream
Japanese cream, heals cracked hands, chapped lips. New carry-on essential

Body: Borghese Bango Di Vita Soak
Mineral rich crystals, helps to soothe dry skin and tired muscles

Cosmetics

Eyes: Eyeko Fat Eye Stick in Charcoal
Creamy and long last lasting wear
A Birchbox exclusive item sold in UK 
I love how the eye stick is twist up and never needs to be sharpened! Nice shade 
as well :)

Lips & Cheeks:
theBalm cosmetics-Stainiac in beauty queen
2 in 1 lip and cheek stain: sheer gel formula, subtle, long-wearing flush.

*Lifestyle Extra

LUNA bar- Luna Minis, Candy Bar

Rating: 3 of 5

Shipping Time/Waiting: Shipping took 2 days from the same city!

*NOTE- I was on the waiting list for 16 days. I joined the 30th and my order shipped on the 8th.
Quality of box: As I stated before the samples aren't that big to gage whether I like the product completely. The cosmetic products however are. If cosmetics are what you are looking for then maybe this would be a good box for you. It is up to you to decide whether you would like to spend $10 on 2 make-up products.

Satisfaction: 4 of 5

Continuing Subscription?: UNDECIDED

______________________________________________________________________

What I enjoy about these are the travel friendly beauty products and both themes included long-lasting wear for these hot summer days coming up! I enjoyed my Myglam box more than Birchbox. I'm not sure if Myglam only included big makeup samples because the them was "Out All Night" for a night out with your girls but regardless I loved everything about it especially the packaging! I will start doing reviews on the products once I begin using them! Check back and definitely feel free to ask any questions you may have. 

-Stay Beautiful,
