My Glam Bag - February 2012

I really liked all the products I received in the January My Glam Bag, so I was excited to receive the February bag.

The February Glam Bag was delivered in its usual bright pink mailing envelope.  Inside was a pretty pink makeup bag with black hearts on it.  I could actually do without the makeup bags every month.....I already have a ton of them.  I suggest replacing the makeup bag every month with another deluxe sample :)

The bag was filled with the following goodies:

Freeman Goji Berry Facial Hydration Mask

I really enjoyed the Freeman's Cucumber Peel-Off Mask that was in last months bag, so I was excited to get a packet size Freeman Goji Berry Facial Hydration Mask for stressed and dehydrated skin types.  I used this last night and while it did leave my skin feeling soft, it didn't hydrate my skin.  In fact, it felt dry and tight, so I won't be purchasing the full size product.

X Out Shine Control

This is a mattifying, shine controlling, oil-free moisturizer.  It is a free gift with the purchase of the X Out Wash-In Treatment, from the makers of ProActive.  I haven't tried any products from ProActive because I don't have acne problems, but I do have oily skin so I will give this a try.  I won't be purchasing it because I doubt it will work any better then the mattifying, shine control, oil-free moisturizer I currently use (La Roche-Posay Effaclar M Daily Mattifying Moisturizer).

NYX Roll On Shimmer

Another full size product that we received this month was the NYX roll on shimmer.  I received the color "Pink".  This applies with a roller ball applicator and when I applied it to my arm for the swatch, I was able to just wipe it away with my hand, which would make me question the staying power of the product.  It's way too shimmery for me so I will never wear it.  This will go to one of my Nieces.

Premier Dead Sea Cinderella Stretching Mask and Eye Serum

I received a sample of the Cinderella Stretching Mask and a sample of the Eye Serum.  I checked out the Premier Dead Sea website and their products are very expensive.  The Cinderella Stretching Mask costs $149.99 for 2.04 fl. oz., and the Eye Serum costs $175.00 for 1.2 fl oz.  Both products can be purchased at http://www.premierdeadsea.com/.  The samples are pretty tiny and I'll only be able to get one use out of the mask and maybe 2 or 3 out of the eye serum, but I don't think using this product a couple of times is going to show me the benefits they are claiming.  I don't mind spending money on expensive products if I was able to use them for a week or two, to see if they do what they claim.  Chances are, I won't see any results after two applications, so it's likely I won't be purchasing them.  We'll see....I'll let you know my opinion after I use it.

NuMe Gift Card

Everyone received a $100 gift card to Nu Me Style to use on either hair tools or hair extensions.  (http://www.numestyle.com/).  There is no spending limit but must be used for purchasing hair tools (dryer, straightener, curling wands, etc.) or hair extensions.  I'm very suspicious of coupons like this.  to me, if a company can afford to give me $100 dollars off a product, they are charging too much for the product in the first place.  If any of you check out the website and find something you want, subscribe to my blog and leave me a comment below and I will give you  my coupon code (must be a subscriber to receive the code).  It can only be used once.

We also received two little chocolates for Valentine's Day.  My husband loved them :)

I was definitely happier with last month's bag, but I realize that I'm not going to like every bag.  I'll still enjoy trying all these products and sharing a few, too.

UPDATE:  As of March 13, the NuMe coupon code is still available!!

Have a great day,
Kat
