February 2013 Glymm Bag

Yes. Glymm and I have gotten back together at least for another year, but I’m regretting it a little. February’s Glymm Bag arrived in March and although it is Valentine’s-themed, is somewhat lacking in excitement. For those that are part of the nail polish promo, this bag was probably more interesting because of the extra nail polish thrown in, but for someone like me that got just a $20 credit for “coming back”, February’s Glymm Bag is just “comme ci, comme ca” and you will soon find out why.

Purely Pro Eye Shadow in Luxury

Welcome to your chic and classic eye makeup. This innovative shadow is sure to make you stand out in the crowd.

Thoughts: I don’t really like matte eye shadows and although this shadow looks brown in the photo, in real life it’s more of a taupe that isn’t all that flattering on me. The texture is nice though, but pigmentation is just okay.

Full size: 1.7g/$18.00

Villainess Ginger Snapped Bar Soap

This original soap in all its luxurious lather is bound to transform your daily ablutions from a task into a treat.

Thoughts: I quite like Villainess products and their unique scents so I enjoyed this sample. This wouldn’t have been a scent that I would have chosen for myself, but I like the “snap” in this ginger-scented soap. The sample is also a good size and a normal shape which I appreciate! I hate it when soap bar samples are just shards and awkward to use.

Full size: 99g/$6.00

I received: ~10g/$0.61

Nailuv Gel Nail Polish in Berry Sweetie

This gel polish will leave your mani looking better for longer.

Thoughts: I think this is the product is the most flummoxing as this is a gel polish that needs to be cured by UV/LED light. I suppose little portable versions of these are all the rage right now, but a lot of people (including myself) don’t own them, rendering this polish essentially useless. The packaging is cute though and the colour seems nice.

Full size: 15mL/$14.95

I received: ~5mL/$4.98

Femme Couture Monster Gloss in Divine

Give your lips an intensity and shine that will last for hours.

Thoughts: I’ve always wanted to try a Femme Couture product so I was pleased to see this lip gloss in a colour that I would definitely wear. The tube is truly monstrous and I will pretend that I am sort of Amazon when I use it.

Full size: 10.4g/$9.00

Total value of February Glymm Bag: $32.59

It’s unfortunate that I did not like the eye shadow as I would have felt better about February’s Glymm Bag. The nail polish is just an enigma to me as to why Glymm would send such a polish, but maybe I’ll have a pedicure done with it at the salon. I hope March’s Glymm Bag is not quite so hit and miss because I’ve got another 11 months with Glymm to go!
