GLAMGLOW Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask (Glymm Box)

Hey everyone! I decided to make a new post about the product I tried out from my February Glymm Box.

I currently have the GLAMGLOW mask on my face. On the Glymm card, it says "Lights, Camera, Action! Designed for Hollywood's entertainment industry, it tingles, tightens & lightens in 15 minutes, so you're always camera-ready. Volcanic rock, French Sea Clay and real pieces of Green Tea Leaf will give you super sexy, super radiant skin."

The product we got was a sample size which was 7 ml (0.24 oz) and the actual product is 50 ml (for $78).

The consistency of this product was a bit liquidy (I thought it would be a lot more *thick* since it says it is clay)  but it is quite chunky with the bits and pieces in it. Because it was liquidy, the application was a bit difficult. I couldn't create a uniform thickness layer on my skin. I noticed in a picture I took with my phone that I actually missed a few spots on my face.. lol! The product actually dried pretty quickly. It comes out as a dark grey/green colour and it is now a pale grey/green colour which chunks of tea leaves and granules. The smell is absolutely divine! That is, if you like green tea!

I used almost the whole sample size and the picture I will be posting is how much coverage I got. I think if I applied it where I missed my spots and covered my face completely (like how I usually do it with LUSH masks), I would've probably used the whole sample. I was hoping it would last me two tries, but I see that it's not possible now!

It has to be on for 15 minutes, and hence why I'm writing the post right now. I can definitely feel it tightening up on my face (but to me, that is no different from any other mask I've used). My skin is starting to feel a little bit itchy right now, but I do find myself a little bit sensitive to products sometimes. I had a bit of an outbreak of acne on my forehead and I used a whitehead/blackhead picker to take out the sebaceous things so I hope this mask closes up my pores.

Okay, timer went off. Time to wash this mask off and reveal some "super sexy, super radiant skin" haha.

My skin definitely seems smoother and I still got some bumpies on my head haha. You're supposed to scrub & exfoliate while washing it off. It kind of spattered all over my sink area. I think it's because when you add the water, it goes back to that liquidy form it was in before. Well, in any case my skin feels great!

I just wish the sample size was a bit bigger so that I could try it a few more times.

I'll upload my mask picture tomorrow because I have my MMI for DH tomorrow morning.... in 9 or so hours so I really should be sleeping.

Thanks for reading :)

Glymm Box

Hey ya'll! So I just received my Glymm box on Feb 23, and I thought I'd share it with you! If you don't know what a Glymm box is, it's basically a box that gets sent to you monthly with a bunch of samples inside. It's $10 for a box and you create a beauty profile, so that they can pick out samples to suit your needs (or at least the correct colours to your liking). This is my first box, so I'm not sure if the company is consistent in picking out good samples for you. I've also signed up for Topbox, which is the same idea, however, the demand for this box is higher than supply, so there's actually a waiting list. I got lucky a couple weeks ago, when they opened up another chance to purchase their subscriptions. It took forever (I was sitting in my IMIN200 class, not even paying attention while trying to get it) but in the end, I ended up scoring one ...... FOR JUNE. Long wait, but I think it'll be worth it! I'm just really happy that I ended up getting one. Anyways... onto the Glymm !

Cute pink mailing box!

Cute packaging - very sturdy

4 items in this box!

I haven't tried out the eyeshadow yet, but I will today before I go to work. I have tried to take swatch pictures of it but it's really hard without the camera I usually use... (NTS: must find it). Here's my best attempt:

Sula Natural EyeShadow - Purple Haze

CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURE OF IT ON MY EYES

It's the lighter purple on top, I used Virgin&Naked (from my UD naked palette), as well as a dark purple from a Lancome quad and lined it with UD 24/7 eyeliner in Ransom

I like it! It held really well and it went on smoothly. It doesn't have much pigmentation but I guess since it's a lilac-y colour, I can't expect it to be too bold anyway. 

I really like the Burt's Bees lip balm! The colour is absolutely perfect for my lips & makes them look extremely natural. 

face picture! my lips are usually more dull looking :P

The other two I have not used yet. I will use the mask tonight though! 

Okay that's it for now. Phew, this was really hard to do since I haven't used some of the products..

Thanks for reading ! :)
