I received the first My Glam "Glam Bag" just a couple of weeks ago. I have yet to try ALL of the products since the Mai Couture Lavender Blush Paper is really not my color and the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream was also not my color. I did however take a little bit out of the tube and put it on my finger tip to feel the texture. :)
So here is my take on the products from the first Glam Bag!
Sin Eyeshadow by Urban Decay:
I really like this eyeshadow. It has a very smooth consistency, a nice shimmer and great pigment. Not something I would wear alone, but it would be good for a lid color or even a highlight.
These single colors have 52 different shades to choose from.

Eyeshadow Primer Potion by Urban Decay :
I've only used this a couple of times since I got it. Not sure how I feel about it just yet. I'm doing a shoot out right now between this and the E.L.F.'s (Eyes Lips Face- for those who DON'T know) eyeLID primer. Not the mineral eyeSHADOW primer. While they technically are different, the concept is the same. They're both eye primers. I'll have a post about who wins the shoot out tomorrow. :)
So far though, I'd say it's ok. I'm not going to RAVE about it just yet. We'll see how it holds up to a more complex eye makeup look.
These Primer Potions have a few different varieties and colors. There are squeeze tubes, applicator tubes, big sizes, travel sizes, etc.

Lights, Camera, Lashes! by Tarte Cosmetics:
Oh. My. Gosh. I LA-LA-LOOOOOOOOOVE this mascara!!! It's so smooth, doesn't clump, makes my lashes look longer AND fuller!!! And I don't even have to curl them! (Which I rarely ever do anyways--still trying to perfect my technique.) Another good thing about this product is that it's ingredients are 100% natural, the packaging is recycled and uses soy ink. It's a nice GREEN product. (For those of you who care ;D) Either way, it works, I love it and I will pay the $19 for a full size tube of it.

Soft Matte Lip Cream by NYX Cosmetics:
I received this in Istanbul. Not a good color for me. I focus more towards to "blue" or cool colors rather than the "orange" or warm colors and they tend to make my teeth look more yellow. As I said before I took some out of the tube with a toothpick to at least feel the texture. WOW! It's so creamy and smooth!! It's like a cream lip stick, in a gloss form that isn't shiny and is a completely matte color. It's also not sticky AT ALL. I can't imagine it lasting very long if you're eating or drinking a lot. But it would be well worth the price to get a nice tube of Amsterdam or Monte Carlo :)

Blush Papier by Mai Couture:
Hm. I haven't tried this. I got a lavender color (which for some reason isn't even available on their website?). Purple is not a good blush color for someone as pale as I am. : / I'm sure they're great, but I just don't know for sure. I wish I would have gotten a nice pale pink or even the oil blotters. Anyone have any input for these blush papers? Please comment below!

I hope my review of the December Glam Bag products was helpful. I plan on doing one for each bag I receive. I can't WAIT for January's bag!! Here's the sneak peek we all got just a few days ago!
What do YOU think will be apart of January's bag? :)
Coming Soon!! Who will win the eye primer shoot out?! Urban Decay or E.L.F.??
I love makeup XD Keep experimenting!
