Sample Bar Reveiw
New Zealand's Birchbox-GLAM PACK
The Glam Pack packaging when it arrives. |
Hey beauties..
Today I received my Glam Pack in the mail, for those you who don't know what this is, it is basically a monthly subscription to Sample bar, each month you receive a brand new box full of 5 products for you to sample and use and review on the site. With every review you make you receive 'Glam Points' and you can use your glam points to get discounts off the products you received and loved.
LETS GET STARTED... |
So how about we review my Glam pack for the month of January. This months glam theme is 'Ready-Set-JET!' Sample bar wants to keep us looking beautiful with this months 5 travel friendly, travel themed products.
Each box comes with a card with a fun blurb about the box and information about all the products on the overleaf.
(Before we start, sample bar asks you to fill out a quetionare so they can chose the best products specifically for you.)
First product in this months glam pack.
'Steamcram'
I had never heard of this before, but I am so excited about this, for some reason. Firstly look at the packaging. a tin. I could reuse that for so many things once I have used all the cream,
It smells amazing, I can definitely smell lavender. this product is described as a moisturizer for your face or a luxurious treat for your hands or body.. My skin is sensitive so I will be wary of using this on my face but my hands are loving it so far..
value: $29.95
Product number two.
'Le Tan SPF 30 Coconut Lotion'
Two awesome products in a row, although I have never tried this product before I LOVE Le Tan products (GGYS). I really needed some sunscreen too. I am excited to try this as my skin hates many normal suncreams and so its great to "try before you buy" and bonus number two, it smells uh-mazing.
value: $5.99
Number three.
'Twistbands'
okay.!!!! Sample bar. What the... Biggest disappointment ever. A hair tie.. seriously.. HAHA. "can be worn around your wrists or used to create bright funky up-dos" firstly, mine is bright orange.. the picture does not do it justice. highlighter orange.. why could I not get the purple or blue ones... humph.. Although this will be handy to tie my hair up around home so I don't get the hair-tie lines, I will not leave the house with this in my hair... blond and orange. No thank you sample bar.
value: from $2.95
I am number Four.
'Air repair Eye Cream'
Sample bar has now recovered from the hair-tie incident cause I am SO excited about this. just the other day I was thinking I wanna try some new eye creams, next thing there is one at my door.
And its another full sized product YAY. this claims to reduce dark circles and fight under eye puffiness. I will definitely have to review this one.
value: $17.50
Last but not Least
'Hil Cook Solution Buds'
what an awesome idea. these cotton buds have a eye make up solution in them, for that "oh crap i cant do my make up today" problem. I love this.
these are going in my hand bag. you never know when you you are going to need to remove your make up.. probably going to purchase this one.. we will see ;)
value: $1.30
All in all I give januarys glam pack a 4.5/5.. who can complain about two full sized products.!
total value: $57.69

so having received my latest glam pack that must mean its been a month since i got this, heres my updated thoughts, i liked the moisturizer, my hands feel really good when I use this, especially when compared to other hand creams but its obviously not designed to help nails in anyway as my hands feel really nice but nails stay brittle, the sunscreen is nice, my skin didn't react too it and i didn't get sunburnt i even used this on my face without any trouble, (well my nose haha) i haven't used the hair tie yet… the Eyecream is good makes my eyes feel refreshed and awake so good for in the mornings i think, and the cotton solution buds are still in my hand bag, i so want to use these but am saving them for when i actually need them, when i am at home i just dip a cotton bud into my makeup remover, a cheaper alternative, but i still think these are an awesome idea. much love Mogz
ReplyDeletei have changed my mind about the eye cream haha i used it and i got hot on my eyes and i have been to scared to used it since so i don't like that.! i have to take away a point for that 3.5/5 sorry sample bar. don't send me anymore products from that range haha
