My April's Glam bag! At last, I get to share what I received. MyGlam sent my replacement bag and never told me the new tracking number until I emailed them. The shipping took 2-3 days since I'm in California. I hope their customer service improves soon :(
The cute metallic pink bubble mailer it comes in :)
The bag it came in. The smell was horrifying since I wasn't prepared for it and I accidentally breathed in the fumes. It was bearable after that though.
What I did to get rid of the smell was empty it and lay it upside down on a fan so it can air it out.
The smell was gone within a few minutes.
If I sniff the bag, there's no smell so yay :)
The bag is pretty sturdy and although I don't really care for the color and shininess of it, it will make a good makeup or pencil bag.
Opening the bag!
First thing I spy is the eyelashes.
An asian brand I've never heard of. Either Taiwanese or Singaporean brand. Not sure.
I feel disappointed since I wanted a Japanese brand. I don't really trust made in China eyelashes.
Opened up the flap.
The eyelashes are pretty but it looks too choppy for me.
I might or might not try them out.
The Dermstore Lip Quench!
Back
I squeezed a bit out so you can see the color. It does have a bit of a shimmer but it doesn't really show on your lips. It smells really nice, like fruit to be exact. It smells like pineapples and coconuts to me. Yum!
It does a decent job of moisturizing but my lips still get a little rough.
Although it smells delish, it is super sticky. I am usually fine with sticky lip glosses but this one, if you don't put a thick, thick coat it feels really gross on my lips. I do give it kudos for lasting really long.
Another con is that it is difficult to squeeze it out of the tube. I use two hands to squeeze it and still have to wait for it come out.
I got two MyGlam brushes.
\\
An eyeliner brush and an C-brush or eyeshadow brush.
The eyeliner brush feels firm and the eyeshadow brush is rather dense.
I'm sticking to my Sigma brushes though.
The eyeliner brush is nice and thin and the eyeshadow brush is a little fluffy.
Got the UD eyeliner in 'Ransom' !
It's this gorgeous shimmery bright royal purple.
I find it not as pigmented as I hoped. It stretches my eyelids when I try to get some color out of it.
It does give your eyes a nice pop of color but I don't really like how hard it is to build color.
It took me a couple swipes to get it to its true color.
I do like how big the eyeliner is. It's going to last well over a year for me.
I still prefer Stila's eyeliner. I used up my black one already. It glided on easily and was extremely pigmented.
Create the perfect bun!
The first bun was created using the small one
The second bun was created using the large one
One what? Let me introduce you to the "Magic Sponge Bun Tool"
Yes, the name isn't exactly creative but the tool itself is.
You can create the perfect bun in under a minute.
I found this tool while watching a YouTube video and I was wondering the whole time what it was.
I am an avid eBay shopper so I looked there first and sure enough, there was a TON of these!
I got both for 25 cents total. Cheap, huh? :)
How? Watch this video :)
