Each month's MyGlam comes with a cosmetic bag and 4-5 deluxe product samples. The first bag I got was a pretty satin striped bag, and I was very impressed with the samples! Inside I found:
- NYX Soft Matte lip cream
- FULL SIZE Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sin
- mini Urban Decay primer potion
- mini Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! mascara
- Mai Couture oil-blotting sheets
- Mai Couture blush sample
For ten bucks, I think this is pretty awesome! The full size Urban Decay eyeshadow alone retails for $17, so I'm definitely pleased. I will continue to subscribe to this service! On a related note, I cancelled my Birchbox subscription a few days ago: I was becoming less and less impressed with the samples and it was taking until the last week of the month for me to receive my box anyway (slow shipping I guess). I'm happy that I've found another beauty box that seems to fit my interests more!
Do you subscribe to any beauty boxes?

I was debating whether to go with Birchbox or MyGlam as well.
ReplyDeleteI think MyGlam will be a bit more personable and have items that most of us can use or purchase that's reasonable priced. That's amazing the UDPP is full sized!
I really like the idea of putting the samples into a make-up bag instead of a plain box! I'm subscribed to something very simular to birchbox (called glossybox, it's basically the european version of birchbox) and I don't know what to do with all the boxes!
ReplyDeleteI am totally thinking about subscribing to MyGlam! I was going to at the beginning of December, but decided until January to subscribe. I wish I had though, b/c last months items seemed amazing! I will not subscribe to Birchbox. They're items seem like only a certain type of person can use them. And these items in MyGlam are more for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI was a member of birchbox but I cancelled that after only two months. I signed up to get the MyGlam January bag so I am very excited to get it, and I think I will like MyGlam a lot more than birchbox
ReplyDeleteI cancelled birchbox in November. I was tired of getting oils and more oils. This one is what I wish birchbox had been. If it continues to be good, I may have to sign up. Please keep doing posts on it.
ReplyDeleteHi Allison,
ReplyDeleteI know you live in the States, but I was wondering if you have any ideas as to like a My Glam for Canadians because I see all these monthly subscription things like My Glam, BirchBox, JewelMint, etc and none of them ship internationally. I would be really nice if there were any out there that did. Thanks anyway.
Ashley
This looks like the best beauty box out there! I would definitely subscribe to it if I lived in the USA.

The bag itself is super adorable. Plus what great products you have inside. Like others have said, continue to do posts on this so that we can see if we'd like to subscribe! Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI subscribed to MyGlam and I'm so excited to see the future bags!
ReplyDeleteI've been so disappointed in Birchbox lately! I finally cancelled my account because I didn't even receive my December box. They made it up by refunding my $10 and giving me 200 points.
I believe there are a few. One that comes to mind is Glymm Box.

I live in Toronto and I get the LuxBox from Loose Button and I've been impressed so far!
ReplyDeleteI don't, but I'm not opposed to it. I had though about joining Birchbox, but I've seen so many videos/blog posts about people not being happy with their samples, so I scrapped it. $10 definitely is a good price, though, and your products all sound great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links! I tried the LooseButton luxebox and I wasn't very impressed, but I'll definitely check out the other two. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get this! I don't have my own credit card though, and i'm not making my own money yet.. I really wish I had bought it though, everything is so worth it!
ReplyDeleteI'm subscribed to this box as well! The only problem was they messed up my shipping address, and they sent it to my fiance's house because he bought it for me as a gift, and they used his billing address. But, I was very impressed with their selection. I hope they continue to have great bags and that their quality does not worsen as the time goes on, like Brichbox.
ReplyDeleteI really want to get the glam bag!
ReplyDeletei really want to subscribe to this one but i live in Canada:(
ReplyDeleteUnfortunatelly we don't have any in Ukraine =( Although I was contacted through youtube and asked if i would be interested in such kind of service. Hell yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for this and can't wait to receive my first one! I am a little addicted to these sample boxes. I do birchbox, MyGlam bag, and just signed up for Beauty Army =)
ReplyDeleteI want to try this so bad! I can't believe they have full sizes of the eyeshadow!
ReplyDeletePlease check out my blog and let me know what you think! Follow if you like! http://bloomwithbeauty.blogspot.com/
I am currently subscribed to Birchbox, and although I like the two boxes I have received so far, I might just have to try MyGlam. How could you pass up a full size Urban Decay eyeshadow?
ReplyDeletewww.thislittlepreppygoeswest.blogspot.com
Wish they'd come to Canada, looks like an awesome subscription service :) Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about birchbox! I had a subscription for about 4 months and then cancelled. I didn't enjoy any of the products they were sending me:/ My glam bag seems really awesome though! I think I might sign up:)
ReplyDeleteI recently subscribed to My Glam, too and I am very impressed! I hope that the quality of items included continues to be this great. I see a lot of people becoming less and less satisfied with their Birchbox so I am glad that there are other subscription services available.
ReplyDeleteThere are actually quite a few beauty box subs. that ship to Canada. Try googling.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about cancelling BirchBox too. I keep getting samples I don't or can't enjoy. I signed up for Eco-Emi, which packs a lot more each month, all organic, Eco-friendly products. I love it so far!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....well everyone was singing the praises of Birch Box and now it seems as though they have nothing interesting to off. I think I will wait to see if people are still excited about this service a few months into the year before I subscribe. I am tired of jumping on the newest hottest thing bandwagon only for it to fall flat after a few deliveries.
ReplyDeleteI canceled my BirchBox subscription a while ago. This sounds more up my alley, I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the post! Happy New Year!

Just a heads up the jewelmint and stylemint now ship to Canada. I think it just started last week
ReplyDeletei totally agree with you about birchbox...i cancelled my subscription as well because I was dissapointed just about every month. I subbed to myglam and can't wait to get my first one this month :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Great review.

This looks amazing! Great products in a cute make-up bag, I wish they had this in The Netherlands. We have Glossybox now, but when I saw the reviews I wasn't really impressed.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really great and you got some amazing bits there. wish it was available in the uk

I just signed up for My Glam after hearing youtubers like you rave about it!
ReplyDeleteI want to try the my glam bag but I'm waiting to see if the bags are still good in a few months, the first one seemed great but if the quality of the products go down, I don't want to join. I have birchbox now and it seems like sometimes I get good things (laura gellar bronzer) but mostly every month I get a perfume sample and I'm tired of it. If my glam bag keeps this high quality of samples I'll switch.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing, getting a full sized UD eyeshadow is so good!

I use my empty Birchboxes as drawer dividers (instead of buying those plastic organizers) They're pretty sturdy so they're good for organizing...or you can cover them in wrapping paper & use them to give someone a gift!
ReplyDeleteI cancelled my BirchBox suscription a few months ago as well. It just wasn't worth it anymore considering the samples that I was receiving were really random and not things that I was excited over. This sounds like a beauty subscription service that I would like muuch more, so thanks once again for more awesome advice and suggestions! You have never steered me wrong so far, Allison! :)
ReplyDeleteI get the GlossyBox in the UK, but that bag looks so much better! Do you know if it will be expanding internationally anytime soon? :)

As soon as I heard about myglam from Bethenny's videos I canceled my birchbox sub and signed up, I am so glad I did this service is fantastic and I love that it was created by Michele Phan!
ReplyDeleteI get a Glymm box every month and it's AMAZING. I'd go with that if you wanted to subscribe to one.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get mine :) Please check out my blog! lovelucinda.com thanks! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've been searching all over and had no luck, I will definitely check these out!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I will definitely be checking these out!
ReplyDeleteHi. I referred to your review of the December MyGlam bag on my blog.
ReplyDeletehttp://makemechic1.blogspot.com/2012/01/limited-myglam-february-subscriptions.html
i did the exact same thing. birchbox became a let down
ReplyDeleteI just signed up for this today and should be getting the February bag. I had birchbox for almost a year but canceled a few months ago because I was not enjoying the samples anymore. I hope this one is better!
ReplyDeleteI am getting mine pretty soon. I have a blog that I think a lot of you will like. I haven't announced the giveaway yet, but pretty soon I will be giving one lucky reader a chance to win a myglam bag or birchbox! Come follow me at http://acollegeconfession.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteWhat color did you get of the nyx matte lip cream?
ReplyDeleteI just reviewed the January bag on my blog. Check it out at www.dianecristi.blogspot.com
