July Glymm Bag Review


I was fairly happy with the contents of this month's box. However, the products were all moisturizers of some type for different parts of your body. I wish we received more makeup and nail polish in our Glymm bags instead. This month there was no product card and they included a 25% off nail polish promotion for their website. I was excited to use this but you cant use it in conjunction with your Loyalty Points, so this is another promotion that will go unused.




Here are the 5 products that I received in my July Glymm Bag.

Mane Teeze - Social Butterfly Hair Perfume
Sample Value - 8mL/$5.44
Full Size - 50mL/$34

- ON THE CARD - 
Summer is a busy time for pretty socialites like you, so bring this hair perfume along with you when you need that little boost of luxury.


- HOW IT WORKS -

Freshen up and bring out the fun-lover in you with this charming, vanilla infused fragrance.
The sweet subtlety of each spray teases your senses for up to 12 sensuous hours. This perfume has a higher concentrate than your average perfumes, so one to three sprays is more than enough to bring out the tempestuous diva within.


SAMPLE USAGE: 50 sprays

- MY THOUGHTS -
I really like the concept of this product. Sometimes I will spritz my hair with my perfume so that during the day as my hair flows in the wind I can smell it. The vanilla scent of this perfume is really nice but there is an underlying chemical/fake smell and I really don't like that. I will definitely be using this sample but I don't think that I will be purchasing the full size. According to Twitter we will be receiving the other 2 scents of hair perfume from this company over the next 2 months in our Glymm Boxes.

Joico - K-Pak Revitaluxe
Sample Value - 50mL/$8.33
Full Size - 150mL/$25

- ON THE CARD -
This luxury hair treatment is clinically proven to instantly correct damage and protect against future damage.


- HOW IT WORKS -

We tease, hairspray, curl, twirl, straighten and braid our tresses until they just can’t handle it anymore! It’s time to show them some love with a treatment that will leave your hair stronger, softer and more moisturized. It’s designed with bio-advanced Keratin Peptide Complex™ a patent-pending blend of revolutionary ingredients. Apply to clean, wet hair. Leave on for 3-5 minutes and rinse.


SAMPLE USAGE: Up to 3 uses

- MY THOUGHTS -
Another hair product...my room is packed with hair products right now and I am not really a fussy or big hair product person. This product sounds interesting and I will definitely use it because my ends are really dry right now. If this actually does what it says it will I will post a more in depth review.

CyberDerm H2O Hydration
Sample Value - 4mL/$4.80
Full Size - 50mL/$60

- ON THE CARD -
This moisturizer will show your skin a good time. With more benefits than you can count, you can be sure to see some drastic results.


- HOW IT WORKS -

H20 Hydration provides calming relief from the day’s stress and great anti-aging benefits. This olive based moisturizer mimics the skin’s own barrier, allowing its active ingredients to penetrate deeply.
It makes for an amazing daily moisturizer and anti-aging product. Apply it in the morning before your sunscreen or during the evening as part of your nighttime regimen.


SAMPLE USAGE: Up to 5 uses

- MY THOUGHTS -
The H2O Hydration goes on very smooth and soaks right into the skin leaving it feel silky smooth and definitely hydrated. I like that it is unscented and you don't really need a lot for your whole face. Although I think I will like this product I wont be buying the full size because it is just too expensive.

CyberDerm PM Anti-Age
Sample Value - 4mL/$9.20
Full Size - 50mL/$115

- ON THE CARD -
Take a bold stance against physiological aggressors that age us with this powerful cream.


- HOW IT WORKS -

Let’s face it, sometimes our lifestyle choices, albeit fun – may not be the most conducive to younger looking skin. So put up a fight with this ingenious cream. It will increase the lifespan of your skins’ collagen and elastin fibers and uses turmeric to brighten and bring out your radiance. Use nightly and see a reduction in fine lines, age spots and pore size while giving your skin a boost of hydration.


SAMPLE USAGE: Up to 5 uses

- MY THOUGHTS -
The packaging of these moisturizers are so cute and hygienic because you aren't sticking your fingers in a pot. I don't need an super strong anti-age cream just yet because I am only 22 but even if I did need it I don't know if I would put this cream on my face because it smells horrible.



Dirt Salt Scrub
Sample Value - 0.05oz/$0.19
Full Size - 12oz/$45

- ON THE CARD -
Dirt never sounded so delicious. This delectable body treatment will exfoliate and reveal a glow that you never knew you had.


- HOW IT WORKS -

Inspired by the nutrient-rich properties of the earth, this salt scrub will remove dead skin cells that dull and disguise your glow. Underneath all that ‘dirt’, there exists a natural radiance. This uncomplicated combination of salts and lush oils satiate the body with skin-quenching antioxidants and essential oils. The delicate scent of fresh cucumber, sun-warmed fig and hints of pear, bring absolute joy to the senses.


SAMPLE USAGE: Up to 2 uses

- MY THOUGHTS -
This sample smells amazing!! But it is so small, I mean the sample is only valued at 19 cents! Glymm says 2 uses but since my container is only half full I think I am only going to get 1 use. Because of price I don't think I would purchase the full size.

Glymm Nylon Collection Cosmetics Bag - Orange
Sample Value - $12
Full Size - $12

Say hello to your new cosmetic bag, in one of the hottest colors of the year.


- HOW IT WORKS -

This perfect bag makes your cosmetics look good. Keep your brushes, makeup, bobby pins and whatever else your beauty regime desires in here, zip it up and leave it on your vanity, or throw it in your tote bag for the day. Going on vacay? It makes a great travel case.


SAMPLE USAGE: Forever

- MY THOUGHTS -
This is my favourite colour for the bags so far and I like getting them because they have so many uses. But again I do not like that Glymm includes the cost of the bag in the value of the box.


OVERALL VALUE OF JULY BAG (w/o bag) - $27.96
VALUE OF JULY BAG (w/ bag) - $39.96

  1. Looks like a good bag...but I agree a lot of the products run in the same "family"...would be nice to see some variety.. I received that Kpak product in one of my subscription boxes and didn't really like it.. had higher hopes for it I guess.. would love to hear what you think about it after you use it :)

  2. I thought the packaging of the Cyberderm moisturizer was quite interesting, definitely something I'd never seen before. I agree, I don't think Glymm should include the cost of the bag in their value...I REALLY don't think it's worth $12...

    BTW, Have you seen the website for Mane Teeze? It's very...pink and party girl-esque. Made me laugh a little!

  3. I agree with Jayne on the Cyberderm packaging, and I also agree with you about the makeup samples! That was why I joined Glymm, but I've cancelled since the bag just wasn't for me. I'll be curious to see what is in August's bag!

  4. I loved my Glymm bag. It was my first one and it was packed with things that totally suited me so it was super. I don't love hair products but I will use these things on my daughter who has drier more difficult hair that I never know what to do with. Her hair has never been more tamable (used the Kpak and the Frizz Ease from Glossy recently). Perfume smell was in the types of smells I can tolerate, I love BOTH creams personally and got 9 uses out of each of them and the Dirt sample was the most disappointing for me since it was so tiny and totally irritated my eczema cuts on my hand (DUH, don't put salt in wounds, it hurts) lol
