❧❦ July 2012 MyGlam Bag - Circus Nail Color ❦❧

The nail polish is from YT Beauty Guru Andrea's Choice.  I suppose she was inspired by Britney Spears circa 2008...

I'll just say it.  The July MyGlam bag is FABULOUS!  By far the best bag I have received from them so far (including the one I didn't receive that went missing!).

In terms of value, the Buxom Lip Gloss alone is $18 - whereas the whole MyGlam bag only costs $10 (including shipping).  So it's excellent value for month this month.

It was an excellent mix of interesting products, with a pretty yellow (and I really don't like the color yellow) nail polish which is a color that I would never normally buy except for an occasion like Halloween.  I bought a NuMe hair straightener a few months ago using my $100 MyGlam coupon, but I didn't know that they made hair products like conditioner.  So this is why I love beauty sample programs.  Sometimes they really do force you out of your comfort zone and allow you to try products you have never heard of or wouldn't normally buy.

For me, out of three of the beauty sample programs I subscribe to - GlossyBox USA, Birchbox and MyGlam (July editions) - the July MyGlam was by far the best and most exciting to receive.

The July MyGlam bag featured:

***UPDATE: I tried out the Somersault Circus nail polish by Andrea's Choice and it is awful!  It's one of the worst nail polish formulas I've ever tried.  It smells strong, it's streaky and it takes a long time to dry.  Not recommended.

❧❦ Why I've been M.I.A. ❦❧

The Sassi Wench
Just a short note to all who read my blog.

I'm really sorry for my extended absence, but my MacBook started having problems in the beginning of June (yes, over 1 month ago!).

Over a month later and after 5 trips to the Apple store - which is nowhere near my house - Apple is FINALLY replacing my MacBook!

Unfortunately, my entire archive of two and a half years of video and photos was on my original MacBook.  We have a backup but because of the problems we had we aren't sure if everything was backed up properly and can be recovered.  I'll cry about that later.

As my MacBook was customized, the new one is on special order but it should be here within the next week or so and then I'll be able to continue blogging! 

Funny how things work.  I never realized how much I enjoy blogging until this happened...

B.T.W., I am on Instagram now as SassiWench.

Take care,
