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.

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

January Project 10 Pan

I was bad again this month. I hauled...sorry... hoarded a bunch of products and didnt use up as many as I bought. And again this month I didnt use up an makeup products. I have been trying really hard to finish up products, but after a while of using the same thing over and over I get bored and start using something else. I mean there are only so many days in a row that I can do a smokey eye, or bold liner, or neutral eyes. I am so close though to using up some makeup products that I think my project 10 pan post next month will finally include some.

I also am going through my collection and picking out things that I am just going to throw away. I know that I spent money on these products and it's kind of a waste to throw them out but, they are just things that I have had for too long and are not hygenic anymore, or products that I can honestly say I will never use again. I am thinking of doing a separate blog post on those products... like a products i regret buying post.

Here are the products that I used up this month:

Herbal Essences Body Envy 2 in 1 Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner

Repurchase: Yes

My Thoughts: I really like Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners and when I buy them I usually buy the 2 in 1 bottles because I am too lazy for the 2 steps required when they are separate. I like buying these shampoos because they are really inexpensive at Walmart and I like how they make my hair feel. I dont usually buy the same kind everytime, I like to buy a different one of the smaller bottles because I get bored of the same shampoo all the time. I definitely recommened this shampoo for someone looking for more volume. My hair is naturally wavy and this really helps promote that.

Replacement Product: John Freida Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner

Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent

Repurchase: Yes

My Thoughts:  This is a type of product that I always buy. I dont always buy the same brand or kind but I always have astringent at home. I use it in the morning to cleanse my face before I put my makeup on. Just to get rid of any oils and residual makeup. I always buy oil-free astringents because I have such oily skin and I dont want to add to it. I found this kind though, very harsh and over drying, it felt like my skin made more oils to make up for this product. The current one that I am using is made for sensitive skin and so far I am liking it.

Replacement Product: Clean & Clear Astringent for sensitive skin.

Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse Off Formula

Repurchase: No

My Thoughts: This was actually a deluxe sample that I got in one of my Clinique Bonus Time Gift with Purchases. It is just okay, in my opinion. Because it isn't the type made for my skin it was a little too moisturizing for my skin and it felt like there was a film on my skin after I used it. The exfoliating quality was nice but not harsh enough for my skin. It was nice to try and lasted me a lot longer than 7 days but, it isn't something I can see replacing my Holy Grail Exfoliator.

Replacement Product: St. Ives Apricot Scrub.
