I bet your wondering what's the catch here? This sounds too good to be true. Well you're half right, the system is not perfect. It is very common on PINCHme to not receive any samples, and this could be because you missed out and they were already all claimed, or you simply do not qualify for any samples. It is very common to receive repeat samples too. Also boxes come about five weeks (sometimes longer) after you order them.
Now here is my personal experience with PINCHme. I joined back in May and I've ordered three boxes with a total of thirteen samples. However, within the past three months I've only received two boxes with a total of ten samples. Since samples are available every couple weeks, there were plenty of times when I was not offered any.
This is the first box I ever received from PINCHme and it included the Playtex Sport Combo and Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Lotion. Every PINCHme box includes a $100 wine voucher from nakedwines.com but this is not counted as a sample. Plus you have to spend $160 in order to use the $100 voucher. The pads and tampons from Playtex were definitely useful because I am a woman and I will need those products until I'm 50 years old. The lotion from Gold Bond was alright, it's not something I'd use normally, I'm more of a Bath & Body Works girl, but this lotion will be nice for travel because of the size. So here in my first box I received two samples! Also some samples also contain coupons in case you want to purchase the full size product.
Now here was my second and latest box I've received. This time I received more products because I received a free trial to PINCHme Plus. PINCHme Plus is their program where you can gain access to the samples 24 hours in advance for a simple price of $3.99 and you also have access to exclusive samples. Being part of PINCHme Plus is definitely a perk, but I wouldn't pay $3.99 each time just to get some extra samples, especially if it isn't something I truly I want.In this box I received: N°7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum, Summer's Eve Lavender Night-Time Cleansing Cloths and Cleansing Wash, Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk, Act Advanced Care Plaque Guard Mouthwash, Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Lotion, Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks, Water Block Band Aids, and Scotch-Brite Extreme Scrub Sponge. I loved the variety of products I received. I was most happy with the mouthwash, the iced coffee (which is a voucher to receive one in store), floss sticks and band aids. These are products I will use and was extremely excited to try. And as you can see I did receive a repeat, the Gold Bond lotion.
In the box I recently ordered, but have not received yet, contains three products: Playtex Sport Combo, Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks, and surprise surprise the Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Lotion. All three are repeats which is okay, cause I'll definitely use two of those products. But I have a feeling I'm going to get the Gold Bond lotion each time. Well I guess you get what you pay for. Am I right?

This month's Glam Bag came with a houndstooth patterned makeup bag, which indeed is Blair Waldorf approved. But instead of a cloth pouch it feels more like plastic or rubber, and it certainly will be easy to clean and won't get stained. Inside the pouch you'll find: the Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eye Liner Pen, the OFRA Comsetics Lip Liner in Wine, the JUARA Skincare Turmeric Antioxidant Radiance Facial Mask, the Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco Oil Treatment and the tarte deluxe LipSurgence™ skintuitive lip gloss in energy.
So first there is the Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eye Liner Pen, obviously in the color black. It is a felt tipped pen and contains a pro formula. It applies smoothly, dries quickly, and lasts all day or all night. This product is easy to use and it does not smear or get too messy at all. It does go on dark which the Jenny Humphreys out there would surely love.
Next, the OFRA Comsetics Lip Liner in Wine, disappoints because the color does not look like a shade of wine, so to call it that is misleading. And the image of this lip liner on ipsy and on OFRA are completely inaccurate. When you think of wine as a lipstick shade you imagine a red/purple shade instead of a nude pink shade. Would you ever drink brown wine? However, the shade is nice if you enjoy wearing neutral tones. This liner gives your lips a matte finish and according to ipsy, you can add some "serious drama to your pout" if you smudge the liner over your entire lip before applying a top coat of lipstick or gloss.
Then, there is the the JUARA Skincare Turmeric Antioxidant Radiance Facial Mask. This mask is supposed to detoxify, brighten and strengthen stressed, tired, or dull-looking skin. Turmeric helps brighten and even out skin tone and provides antioxidant protection. It also has kaolin clay to purify the skin and refine pores. Then with the little touch of candlenut oil to soften and nurture skin. This product is free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil, gluten, artificial colorants and no harsh chemicals. Best of all, it is not tested on animals and is 100% vegetarian friendly. The mask should stay on for 10-15 minutes and then be rinsed. It is advised to use this product 1-3 times a week or whenever your skin needs a little radiance boost. It can also be used as an overnight treatment if you want to wake up with a glowing complexion. The mask has a clear coat so it's not like one of those white or clay masks that makes everyone think you're some kind of ghost or monster. The mask really does not harden and it starts to feel oily after some time but it ends up leaving your skin soft and smooth once you rinse it off.
Next there is the Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco Oil Treatment. It is a lightweight oil that will give you strong, glossy, frizz-free hair and it works on all hair types. It has Mediterranean Olive Oil and Moroccan Argan Oil which are used to protect and condition hair, and it also has Vitamin E and shea butter to hydrate and soften. You apply 1-3 drops, depending on how thick and long your hair is, to either damp or dry hair. The oil softens and soothes the hair and not much oil is needed for good results.
Lastly, there is the tarte deluxe LipSurgence™ skintuitive lip gloss in energy. This lip gloss is infused with rich antioxidants to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while delivering intense hydration. This lip gloss pairs well with the OFRA Comsetics Lip Liner in Wine. The most unique thing about this lipgloss is the shade energy which creates a custom pink tone just for you. This is because of the skintuitive™ formula which responds to your skin’s natural pH and energy, and therefore gives you a personalized tint that is truly your own unique shade. If that doesn't scream Queen B to you, what would?
So who does this Glam Bag belong to? The prep school queens or the wannabes? Neither, there's a little something for everyone. In fact, with one of these products, it was made for literally everyone. With the tarte lipgloss, it creates a shade made especially for you. So instead of picking out one another's differences and trying to all blend into one form of perfection, celebrate the differences! That's what makes society so great and unique.
Overall, this Glam Bag wasn't bad at all, and on a scale of one to five, I'd give it a 3.5. Thanks for reading and until next time!

Now what is this Descendants movie you ask? Well it is the story of the children of the infamous villains: Jafar (Maz Jobrani), Cruella de Vil (Wendy Raquel Robinson), Evil Queen (Kathy Najimy) and Maleficent (Kristin Chenoweth). What a genius idea for a movie! Seeing the success of ABC's TV show, Once Upon A Time, it's no wonder they made a kid friendly/musical version of it. Now I didn't expect this movie to be a musical but I guess I should have realized that it would be since Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) was the director.
Descendants' interpretation of what happens after the classic Disney characters happy endings is quite interesting. Belle marries the Beast, and Beast unites all the kingdoms and become the United States of Auradon. So wouldn't that make Beast the President rather than King? Or has democracy not reached the fairytale lands yet? Anyways, all the villains were imprisoned on an island called Isle of the Lost which is surrounded by a magical barrier. Belle and Beast's son, Ben, is about to become king, which doesn't make sense seeing that his father is perfectly healthy and still on the young side. But anyways, his first royal proclamation is to give a chance to children of four villains to live in Auradon so they can find their inner goodness.
So Jay (Booboo Stewart), Carlos (Cameron Boyce), Evie (Sofia Carson) and Mal (Dove Cameron) find themsleves out of their homeland and now in the land of magic and happiness. But here's the catch Maleficent wants her daughter, Mal to steal the Fairy God Mother's magical wand, cause you know evil and taking over the world, blah blah blah, basic villain stuff.
When the kids get to Auradon they have their mind solely set on stealing the wand, making their parents proud and getting back home. Because who would want to deal with the children of the princes, princesses and other lovable classic characters? Some of those children turn out not to be as nice as their parents. But the love story between star crossed lovers Mal and Prince Ben certainly changes the dynamic of the movie.
Overall the story was great and it was enjoyable to watch. It gives a great perspective on good vs evil and setting the idea that just because you're supposed to be something because it is in your blood doesn't mean you have to be. You decide your own fate. The movie was adorable and those outfits were just to die for and they really capture each character's personality and traits. While the characters evolve so do their clothes.
The only thing that wasn't mind-blowing or fantastic was the music, which is disappointing because Kenny Ortega films normally have great music. Rotten to the Core was the opening number and introduced the viewers to the Isle of the Lost and it was by far the catchiest tune. However as expected, Kristin Chenoweth's phenomenal Broadway voice and talent was showcased and even Dove Cameron proved that she could keep up and displayed lots of talent musically and theatrically. But other than that the music was disappointing and not necessary. Most of the time the music was just a distraction, boring and painful to watch.
Disney fans will appreciate the references to the classic films in the movie. The children from heroes like Mulan, Cinderella, Aurora, Fairy God Mother and even Dopey have kids that attend the school as well. There are artifacts from several Disney films, like: the magic wand, the magic mirror, the spinning wheel, and etc, appear as well. For all we know there's probably a hidden Mickey or two in the film somewhere.
Is Descendants the next High School Musical or Camp Rock? There's a 50/50 chance. Based on Dove Cameron's performance, she has what it takes to rise to Teen Idol status. And based on the little twist at the end of the movie there should be a sequel in the works.
