This months bag is super cute a black snake skin print. Is it just me or is every month getting better and better with the bag styles? It's my favorite part about Glymm.
Lys Parisien Porfessionnel Moisturizing Shampoo and Balm - This smells decent and has argan oil in it. I never get super excited over hair stuff, but this seems ok.
Villainess Scintillating Bar Soap This smells so good, plus I loved the Villainess moisturizer I received a few months back. Not huge on bar soaps but this might be ok. It says it's moisturizing which is my main issue with bar soaps.
The New Black nail polish - I don't know what colour this is, but at least it's not teal! It's kind of like a metallic chrome lilac, which might be nice for summer. I've never used The New Black polishes before so I'm excited to try this out.
The Beehive Honey Blossom perfume - this has notes of tea, mandarin, vanilla, amber and patchouli. It might be a bit floral for my tastes, but it doesn't make me cringe so I'll give it a go.
Not the best bag, but I don't hate anything so that's always good.

October Glymm Box
I picked this up a bit late, as the post office that my packages gets delivered to is out of the way so I can't always pick up my post right away. This months Glymm Bag was ok in product selection, mostly because one product isn't for me at all and I've received the other product before. The bag, however, is my favorite so far and the stuff I can use is really cool.
1. Johnson's Baby Oil: This is a promo item for the soon to be released Glymm MAMA box. While I'm not a mother, I do use baby oil for extra moisture in the winter in addition to my moisturizer so I like this travel sized version.
2. Lash Card: I don't really have issues smudging my mascara but I'll keep these around.
3. Femme Coture Lightening Lash Mascara: A full sized mascara which is awesome. I've only used this once and I found it very wet and smudgy... maybe I do need those lash cards. I'll keep testing it up but it doesn't really stand up to my Maybelline Falsies.
4. Cyberderm H2O Hydration: I've received this before in a Glymm bag but I like this packaging much better. It's like the L'Occitane hand creams rather than the syringe like packaging I received before.
5. cyberderm Every Morning Sun Whip: A zinc oxide based cream that is supposed to be used in conjunction with the H2O Hydration as it's supposed to be very light. I generally prefer my SPF to be built into my moisturizer so it's one less step I have to do in the morning.
6. Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme: So this is the product clearly not for me as a) I have fine hair that weighs down easily b) my hair is straight and not curly c) I'm not African-Canadian which the product is marketed for (I checked out their webpage) so I'm going to give this to a friend. It smells amazing though.
Pretty happy with this bag this month, other than the Buttercreme which smells so good but I fear the grease factor if I use it in my hair.

September Glymm bag!
Unlike Glossybox which I'm pretty much always disappointed with, Glymm hasn't let me down yet. There's always at least one or two products I love, plus the makeup bags are just great! I used them to organize myself while traveling. So far I've set up a overnight kit (for quick overnight trips so I don't have to run around searching for stuff) and an emergency kit (full of band-aids and such). On to this months Glymm bag products!
Evolvh UltraShine Shampoo & Conditioner I really like the scent of these, kind of masculine. They do a good job of cleaning my hair and don't leave it too heavy, as I have fine hair and it's easy to weigh it down. Leaves my hair really manageable with a minimum of tangles.
La Fresh waterproof makeup remover wipes I haven't tried these yet, but I love that they're individually packaged. These went straight into my overnight kit so I most likely won't try them for a while.
Bentaberry super moisturizing face cream for girls this is an OK product, I don't really like the smell (it reminds me a bit of musty towels) but thankfully it dissipates quickly. Like the name says this is really moisturizing.
Villainess Dulce en Fuego Whipped body creme omg I love this, this smells amazing. Like toasted marshmallows with just a hint of spice. This leaves my skin feeling powdery soft and I'm REALLY tempted to buy a full-size of this, even though I rarely buy expensive body creams.
The bag this month is ok, I can't say I'm in love with it like I was last month. I might just give this to my mom or sister, but we'll see if I can't find a use for it.

August Glymm Bag
So this is a little bit late but better late than never! I'm really liking Glymm a lot better than Glossybox, so much so that I think I'm going to cancel my Glossybox after this month. Anyways, onto the goodies!
Princepessa Cattiva Diva hand cream (full size)
I've never used Princepessa products before but I'm going to look into the brand after this. This smells divine and fells amazing on my hands. Such a treat, I'm trying to use up my body shop almond hand cream and my L'occitane honey and lemon hand creme before I start using this full time.
Naked Princess lip gloss in barely coral
I wish this sample had been bigger, but I do really like the product. The colour is really pretty and I like the fact that it's natural because apparently we ingest 2lbs of lip product a year (gross). It's expensive for a lip gloss ($25) so I don't see myself buying this anytime soon.
Bentaberry G-1 moisturizing Face cream for boys and girls - Regulating line
This is made from 100% natural ingredients which I like. I haven't tried this yet as my skin has been acting up a bit, but I'm looking forward to taking this on a weekend away. I'd never heard of this brand before my glymm box this month so I'll be looking into it more.
Vitamine & Sea Mineral Clay Mask
I haven't tried this yet as I've been avoiding new products for my face until it calms down. I love face masks though and can't wait to try this. According to the product card it's supposed to give skin "a soft, tight, sexy, radiant glow." who doesn't like the sound of that?
Mai Couture Blush Papier in Prettyful
I'd never heard of this brand/type of product before. Apparently you just rub it on your cheeks and it gives you blush. Seems really great for traveling.
I also LOVE the bag this month, it's black patent quilted and it will be perfect for weekend trips. I really like getting these every month and I would totally recommend Glymm to those wanting to get started with a beauty subscription.

July Glymm Beauty Bag
So this is the first Glymm bag I've received and so far my impression is mildly positive. I wouldn't say I'm jumping up and down for joy with this subscription but I've heard that it's hit and miss some months. I do really like the little makeup bag that you get with it though. Here is a link to the product list of whats in this bag.
Dirt Salt Scrub
This smells great, but I'm really disappointed with the size as I don't think it'll do my whole body.
Cyberderm H20 Hydration and PM Anti-Age
I've never heard of this brand, but the packaging is super cute! They look like needles.
Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe hair treatment
Love this, I'm not huge into hair products as my hair is relatively healthy so I tend to not spend my money on them. This hair mask didn't weigh down my fine hair at all and made it feel smooth and silky, plus it had a light citrus smell that was really nice.
Social Butterfly Hair Perfume
Great idea, hate the scent. It's too perfumey and sweet for my tastes. I think I'll pass this on to my sister who likes these kind of scents.
