My last Look Bag, July's Bag.

Hey there everyone! This is my very last Look Bag, it is last month's, July, I have been so busy that I haven't been able to get to it though, it has been sitting right on my desk waiting. The reason that it will be my very last one is that in July they put out a memo that they were closing up shop, then today I got a message saying that they are reopening in September. Though I like them alright, not really thrilled with July, and I was able to get 2 bags from them I am not really into the whole wishy washy thing. Two months is not enough time to totally revamp the company, get new products in, and then shipped out. I apologize in advance for the icky pictures my camera wasn't cooperating with me that day.

So here is it July's Look Bag. The theme for the month was Summer Fun!

Here is the Card that came with it telling about the theme.

Here is how the bag looked when I opened it up! I really love the bags, since I have 2 now I use one as a bag for my samples of body creams and the other holds all of my hair ties!

 The first product is from Korres, I am really really liking this company and will probably order a few things from them in the future. This is the Mango Butter Lipstick in #18 Peach. I love this color, the texture is great and it is not a heavy lipstick formula so you can swipe it on without having to be right in front of a mirror. While doing my pricing research on it I came to find out it is a discontinued color. This is not the first time that the Look Bag has sent out a discontinued color from Korres, my eyeshadow I received in May's bag was a discontinued color as well. This is a full sized lipstick! The price I could find on it is $8.99.

Item number 2 is from Ultra Flesh, it is their Gold Standard Mascara. This mascara is AMAZING, it separates lashes perfectly!!! To bad like the lipstick it is discontinued as well, so though I was able to try this product I cannot go buy it unless I order it from Amazon stores that were able to get a bulk supply. It is a pretty good sample size so it should last me quite a while. The sample value is $4.72.


Item 3 is Betsy Johnson Perfume. This tiny little sample was good for one use because as soon as you opened it it began evaporating. When I came home and looked at it there was nothing left in it. It smells nice, but you would have to reapply pretty often to have the continual scent. I had a hard time pricing this one as well, turns out it is a Drug Store scent that is currently on clearance... The sample value on this is $.25.

Item 4 is Bremenn Research Labs Miracle Cream for the face. I really like this, it will be really nice for the winter when my skin gets really dry. It's not greasy at all and dries nicely. The sample value is $9.04.

Finally item number 5 are these little nail polishes... If you are around my age which is 26 you might recognize these. These are Bon Bon's fruit scented polishes in blueberry and lime, these come in a set of 5 scents, so they broke up the sets and sent each person 2... These were the coolest thing in the world when I was in Elementary and Middle school... With that said, I am now an adult and my tastes have changed considerably... Why would a company that wants to show you new and high end items put Bon Bon's in their sample line up is truly beyond me. My 6 year old loves them! The sample value on these are $1.98. 

The Look Bag costs $10.00 per month, the total worth of July's bag was $24.98. Normally I would be fine with this, but when you put multiple discontinued products and nail polish that is far far less than quality I begin to wonder about the legitimacy of a company that advertises to have the newest products to try. So that is my last bag, if you would like to try them for yourselves they are reopening in September.

*I pay for these sample boxes and bags with my own money, any and all opinions are honest and my own.*

June Look Bag! Makup Bliss!!!!


I have been a bad bad blogger. Last week I received both my June Look Bag and Green Grab Bag. I took pictures and edited them all... And then, I didn't post a blog about either. So today y'all will be getting a double blog. I will get the second one up later this evening.

With that said! June's The Look Bag!!!!!


This is how it comes in a bubble envelope. I like it, but I wish they were reusable bubble envelopes, green is an effort all around.


I love the bag everything comes in! The organza cinch top bags are awesome for tons and tons of different things from gifting to storage!!!



As with most all other sub services you get a card that gives you a monthly greeting, theme and tells about the products that are inside. This month the theme was June Beauty Boom, they really were putting an emphasis on taking care of your skin during the summer, very good sage advice!!!


















The first product, #1 on the card is Atopalm Intensive Moisturizing cream. I haven't tried this yet, but it will be nice to take this little tub along with me on vaca because I will be out in the sun a ton and in the water so I don't want to get dried out! The sample value of this is $2.20.


Next #2, says it is Snowberry Cellular Regeneration Night Cream, but what I was sent is Snowberry Intensive Renewal Face Serum. I am really glad I got this instead of the night cream, I have tons of that. For in the morning this is amazing!!! It has a slight smell of oatmeal, which I like, and it goes on and soaks in perfectly, dries quick too. It leaves your face feeling very very fresh! The sample value of this serum is $22.26. Just for giggles, the sample value of the night cream would have been $8.56 for the same size sample.



 


#3 on the card is Korres Eyeshadow. The color I received is Golden and it is part of the Sunflower Evening Primrose line. I am in love with this shadow! The pigment is amazing and really gives a lot of color!!! I have worn it several times now by itself. You can use it lightly for an all over color and then it can be layered more for a deeper pigmented color! This is a full sized product!!!! The price for one of these are $13.49.





The #4 item is this liner sharpener made by Prescriptives. I really like when boxes send out tools like this! This sharpener can put a point on both fat pencils and when the insert is placed small pencils! I had to estimate the price of this because I could not find this sharpener for sale on the Prescriptives web site. My estimate is around $2.00.



















The Last product that comes in a Look Bag is a personal product that is chosen just for you based on your beauty profile. I received this Too Faced Sparkler Glamour Gloss in Violet Vapor. I like this gloss, but there are some aspects of it I am not a huge fan of. I love love love the color, the pictures do not do it any justice at all. It is a iridescent light purple white and other colors sparkle. I like the packaging. I also like how it comes out with the wind up, I do not like that you can turn it both ways and have to hold the bottom to twist up the top, I have been turning the wrong way a lot. I also do not like the feeling of it on my lips. It is very very grainy, not cool. This is another full sized product and the price is $9.99 for a tube.

So, all in all great bag! I am definitely going to stick with the Look Bag if they continue to send products of this level and variety! The look bag costs $10.00 a month. This bag was worth a total of $49.94. Not bad for $10.00.
