April Glam Bag--thoughts?

Anyone else get an Urban Decay 24/7 pencil that isn't part of the permanent line in this month's Glam Bag?  From the look of a couple makeup forums I visit, it seems like most people received samples of a permanent shade, but I got Junkie, which is a glittery medium silver-blue.  It's gorgeous, and I'm thrilled with it, but am bummed that I'll have to use it sparingly since it can't be replaced.

The rest of the bag was pretty meh for me, and I'm probably canceling after this month.  As nice as the pencil was, the bag stank to high heavens for the second month in a row thanks to those stupid cheap brushes, and I'm unimpressed by the lip treatment. 

What did you think?

Re: April Glam Bag--thoughts?

  • I'm ok with it. I've gotten like three bags now and have been pretty good with them all.  I agree about the brushes and the plastic-y smell.  I'll probably keep subscribing for at least a few more months.

  • I should get mine on Monday, but I'm really happy this month.  The smell of the bag didn't bother me last month.  It just smelled like plastic packaging and went away after it aired out for a few minutes. 

    I'm thrilled about the UD liner.  I've read on makeuptalk.com that most are from a limited addition set.  That doesn't bother me.  It's something new to try out, and I don't care if I can't buy it again. 

    I'll be really happy with the bags if each is like this month with one nice/higher end makeup product and then other random products that aren't the stupid coupons or drug store stuff like the Freemans crap.  The lashes are something I never would have purchased myself, but I'll wear them out for a girls night out or something and think they are kind of fun.  I'm not expecting much out of the lip stuff, but I'll use it.  I'm kind of indifferent about the brushes, but I do think the hot pink is cute.

  • It turns out my bag came today!  I LOVE it.  I actually like the lip stuff a lot!  I got the UD liner in radium, which is really, really pretty.  I even like the brushes.  I'm thrilled with this bag and definitely think it's worth $10.

    The liners are from a limited addition UD travel set.  http://asoftblackstar.blogspot.com/2011/11/urban-decay-electric-24-7-glide-on-eye.html

     

  • I also got Junkie, which I LOVE. And I like the lipquench. Brushes,eh. And no interest in the fake lashes, but I have a friend who wears them for special events so I'll pass them on. Overall for $10 I'm happy - it's just as much for the excitement of the unknown goodies as the actual items (although if I would never use any of them I would cancel asap).  Oh, and I think the actual bag this month is ugly, but no biggie.

    That is pretty!

    Mu guess is that UD broke apart unsold sets--they also showed up on HauteLook last week, and are clearances on their website.

    Yeah, they're $19 (plus shipping). I just saw this tonight. I think I'm going to snag one. 

    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

    I just tried to sign up for Glam Bag and it says it's sold out. Boo!

  • I got the perversion color (black) of eyeliner. I would've loved that junkie color!

  • I cancelled after this bag. I am never going to use the lashes and I go the UD liner in woodstock, which is hot pink. Really not into looking like I have pink eye. I can see how people would like the bag, though. I'm just over myglam. The hot pink liner was the last straw for me.

  • I love the Woodstock liner and think it's pretty for spring and summer!  Here are some pics where it looks soft and pretty, and not like pink eye :)

    The last one actually uses an eye shadow in Woodstock along the lash line, but you can get the same look with the liner.

    I actually might buy it for myself.

  • Yeah, still not a fan. The last one is okay but my skin tone is much lighter than hers and it wouldn't be the same effect.

     Wanna trade? I received the black, and I already have UD 24/7 black eyeliner.

    Sorry, I totally would but I already gave it to my 16 year old niece! But there are a ton of people on the makeuptalk forum looking to trade their woodstocks!

  • Did everyone just get one travel liner?

    I definitely got two travel Perversions (which is awesome, because I use it daily and LOVE it). 

    Not sure if I won the Glam Bag lottery or not, lol.

    You hit the Glam Bag lottery :)  You were just supposed to get one liner.  Are you missing anything?

    I don't think so. Got the lip quench, fake lashes, and two brushes.
