Thinking of canceling MyGlam
I have only received two bags, but so far I've used nothing from the two bags, except for trying the Pur Lisse lip stuff once. I was really hoping for actual makeup that I could use and not a bunch of skin and hair care samples, as I'm already very set on specific products for those (especially skincare).
I know they have received a lot of complaints about wanting more makeup in the bags, and think that maybe I should stick it out and see if it gets better over the next few months. After all, it's only $10 a month.
Then again, I've already spent $20 and received nothing I like, and that's $20 I could have spent on full size products that I'll actually use.
Anyone else not thrilled? Are you going to cancel or give it some time?

There isn't one, because most makeup companies don't make larger trial samples. Even Sephora only rarely has makeup samples & they're usually mascara or lip products. Birchbox has said they're trying to get companies to make more cosmetic samples for their boxes, but it's a slow process.
My Birchbox this month had a lipstick, nailpolish & blotting papers in it--which is the closest I've seen to an all makeup box ( I got the Teen Vogue box).
I cancelled MyGlam. The only big draw to that one for me was the little bag each month, but I realized that I really don't need a pile of random makeup bags that I don't even like.
I switched to Birchbox, but I haven't gotten one yet. I'll likely cancel that in a few months too.
I cancelled MyGlam. To me, it seemed like they got overwhelmed and threw a bunch of stuff in there. When I got it the chocolate was so melted it was all over the bag. So even that was a bust.
I have been happy with Birchbox though.
I cancelled mine after the second bag. I hated everything. I won't wear bright blue glittery roll on shadow (WTF?!) The $20 I spent on it pretty much went towards my 6yr olds play makeup, so at least it wasn't a total waste.
There are a couple of bags but I can't remember the names. AllThatGlitters & MissJenFabulous on youtube have reviewed some. They look fun, but I'm staying with BirchBox for now.

They advertise that you get deluxe samples and full size products, so I was expecting it to be a good deal. And if you actually like the products they send, then it is a deal. The last bag had a full size Pur Lisse lip nourisher that retails for $22. I'll use it, but it's not a product I'm excited about.
I had MyGlam for Jan and Feb. I cancelled in Feb and signed up for BB again. I also received a free MyGlam bag for March and was very happy that I didn't pay for it and that I cancelled. I don't think I will use anything from it. I used one product from the 3 months.
I had BB for 3 months then cancelled and signed up again and got my first box today after my signing up again. The samples are worth it from BB and the sizes are much better than MyGlam. I have used almost everything from BB and I have purchased a few things in full size as well.
