As beauty editors at IPSY, we try out a ton of products (and we mean a ton). Hundreds of products come across our desks every single month. And while we’re busy swatching, swiping, and testing so that we can give you all the tips and tricks you need to know—we’re also keeping mental notes of our personal faves.
Want to know what IPSY beauty editors are coveting this month? Here are all the products we’re crossing our fingers we get in our own August Glam Bag X (and stealing from work if we don’t).
Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor
1. ĀTHR BEAUTY Moonlight Crystal Palette
“Ok, they had me at crystals. I love anything shimmery when it comes to my eye makeup, and this baby brings it. It's also infused with healthy oils so it blends out flawlessly and keeps my lids so smooth and soft.”
2. CHARLOTTE TILBURY Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Medium
“One word comes to mind when I see this shade: iconic. This cult-favorite pinky nude looks amazing anytime, anywhere. I love this liner to give my lips a little bit of fullness. It's so smooth and non-drying—just dreamy.”
3. HERBIVORE BOTANICALS Emerald Deep Moisture Glow Oil
“Fact: This is probably the only face oil I've bought twice—it's just that good. It gives my skin just the perfect hit of moisture without feeling greasy. I wear it day or night and it makes my skin look healthy and glowy in an instant.”
Hannah Cassidy, Senior Beauty Editor
1. THE NUE CO Barrier Culture Cleanser
“A product that's designed to replace a double cleanse!? You have my attention. I've swapped this probiotic cleanser into my P.M. routine and it consistently eliminates all traces of dirt, sweat, and SPF—perfect for my breakout-prone skin.”
2. ABOUT-FACE Light Lock Powder in Stars on Fire
“If you've been on the fence about trying highlighters but love the look of glass-like skin, run (don't walk) to this powder. It's buttery soft, subtle, and gives your skin the perfect amount of sheen.”
3. BEAUTYBLENDER® Beautyblender® Topaz
“Whenever I see a Beautyblender® come into the assortment, I get my hands on it immediately because I literally can't live without them. The bright aqua color is so cute and it's become my designated tool for reapplying SPF over makeup.”
Maddie Aberman, Senior Beauty Editor
1. RÓEN BEAUTY Kiss My Liquid Lip Balm in Charlie
“Halsey mentions that she keeps these RÓEN Liquid Lip Balms all over (in her purses, car, desk) and her friends are always requesting more. Now I can see why! This has become my daily staple for the perfect amount of everyday color with a little shiny hit and all the comfort of a lip balm. Seriously, what else could I want?!.”
2. PROSE Hair Perfume in Corsica
“We’ve all heard the expert tips that advise against washing your hair every day, but we all also know that there’s a certain *umm* odor that can coincide with skipping a wash day...or two, or three. This hair perfume from PROSE is the perfect antidote. A few spritzes through my lengths (my roots are already loaded up with dry shampoo) gives my hair the freshly washed smell minus the daily shampoo damage.”
3. FENTY BEAUTY Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara in Cuz I'm Black
“If I’m being honest, Rihanna could come out with a line of adult diapers, and I’d be first in line. But this mascara is so good, it doesn’t even take the power of RiRi to keep me coming back every morning. The magic is in the wand. One side is full and fluffy to give my lashes a quick coat of the volumizing formula. The other side is full or short, compact bristles that make coating my bottom lashes so easy.”
