March GlamBag


Hello  everyone! I am back again. It seems like forever. Work has been so busy and I meant to post this last week but my parents were in town and there was just not any time. I received my March Glam Bag about two weeks ago. I am not particularly amazed by what I received. I saw a lot of videos on YouTube that hated this bag and I don’t blame them. I have already used a couple of the products in the bag so this can be somewhat of a tiny review. The theme for this month’s bag was repair and restore. The bag itself is not my style but it seems sturdy.




Included in this month’s glam bag was the DermStore care package. Inside was a $25 gift card to Dermstore. However, you have to spend $50 to receive the$25 off. The fine print says it cannot be used on every brand. I haven’t spent a lot of time looking at this site but I better because it expires in May. The second item in this package was the Murad Eye Lift Perfector. I have used this already and I am not impressed. This product is supposed to visibly lift, hydrate, and de-puff around the eyes while minimizing dark circles to restore a youthful look. Honestly, I didn’t notice a difference and it wouldn’t have been so bad but the tint was just awful. It was not meant for us fair skin girls. It said it had a “natural” tint but it was much darker than my skin tone. It was very noticeable and I had to blend it out with my foundation which defeated the purpose because I must have wiped most of it away. I am sure it works just fine for girls with a “natural” skin tone but for me, it just didn’t cut it. The last product was the Pur-lisse Pur-tect Essential Daily Moisturizer. It has SPF 30 which is good for me. I haven’t tried this product out yet. I am still searching for the perfect moisturizer so I am planning on trying this soon.






Next is a product I probably won’t use because I just dyed my hair. It is the Keracolor Color Enhancing Leave-In Treatment. It is designed to enhance, protect, strengthen and hydrate all hair types. Maybe I will try it once my color fades. I believe this includes two one- time use samples.


I received another Murad product and it is the Absolute bronzing boost. Now if you are reading this, I am sure you have seen my picture by now. I am extremely fair and I am not into bronzing and if I was, this product is just way TOO DARK for me. I included a swatch below. Now I know not everyone is fair like me but I am tired of receiving products I cannot wear unless I have a darker skin tone. It is very annoying. I guess I can try to sheer it out with moisturizer and put it on my neck. I will have to play with it but I am not in any rush. Why is it that I always have to find a way to “sheer” foundation and bronzers? Why can’t anyone make the perfect color for me!!



The last thing in the bag was the My Glam exclusive Classic Crease brush and case. I know a lot of people think this brush is crap but you know what, I love it! I have used it every day since I received it. It blends my shadows so well and it hasn’t shed once. It is my new favorite blending brush. It is too big to be used just on the crease but it blends like a dream. The brush case, however,  is crap. It smells badly and it doesn’t stay shut. I like the color but it is low quality. I am still trying to decide what to do with it. I don’t want to trash it but I am not sure if I could really use it. I am afraid to put any brushes in there because I don’t want them to smell. Decisions, decisions.




That’s it for the March Glam bag. I am not overly impressed but I don’t hate every product so that has to be a good thing, right?

Don’t go anywhere! I will be back again with my March Birch Box!
