August Glam Bag Power Picks Spoilers
Every month, Glam Bag subscribers are guaranteed at least one Power Pick in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a Glam Bag in August could receive one of the following Power Picks:
1. GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
Watermelon isn’t just a mouth-watering snack for summer—it’s also a refreshing treat for your skin. Packed with vitamins and amino acids, watermelon helps to moisturize and plump the skin, and even treat fine lines and wrinkles. This popular highlighting serum from member-fave brand GLOW RECIPE contains the juicy fruit, along with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, to help you reveal a dewy glow both instantly and over time.
2. E.L.F. SKIN Suntouchable! Woah Glow SPF 30
The sun is beating down, the temp is turning up, and our complexions are begging for one thing: SPF. Luckily, this rave-reviewed sunscreen and primer hybrid from E.L.F. SKIN is here to help protect us from any potential sun damage. Fans of the formula love that the sheer peach finish adds just a touch of radiance to the skin, while ingredients like aloe, hyaluronic acid, and squalane help to nourish your complexion.
3. CIATÉ LONDON Dewy Blush Glossy Cheek Tint in Coconut or Papaya
Your dewy makeup look isn’t complete without a radiant blush gracing your skin. Get the look with this gel-balm formula from CIATÉ LONDON, which delivers a glass-like sheen with a tint of color (Coconut is a rose mauve, while Papaya is a punchy coral) that looks gorgeous on all skin tones. Bonus: It also contains natural extracts of yuzu and dragon fruit to brighten and refresh your base.
4. JLO BEAUTY Mini Size Firm + Flaunt Targeted Booty Balm
Anything with JLo’s stamp of approval has our attention, but this clinically tested, hydrating balm really made our jaws drop. It’s designed to visibly firm and tighten the skin in any areas you want to target—like your booty, hips, and thighs—which is perfect for these warmer months where our bathing suits, shorts, and dresses are on heavy rotation. Sweep it over your skin and let the formula’s guarana seed extract, pink pepperslim, and shea butter visibly reduce puffiness, smooth texture, and improve suppleness.
August BoxyCharm by IPSY Power Picks Spoilers
Every month, BoxyCharm subscribers will get two Power Picks in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a BoxyCharm in August could receive the following:
1. MURAD Essential-C Toner
Scroll through the reviews for this must-have toner, and one word that always pops up is “amazing.” The reviews don’t lie—this antioxidant-packed powerhouse helps replenish moisture and balance your skin’s pH, leaving you with a glowing complexion that’s beautifully prepped for any products that follow.
2. FEMMUE Ideal Camellia Elixir Oil
This facial oil delivers in all the ways a facial should feel and work, so it’s no wonder “ideal” is in the name. Formulated with 67% pure camellia seed oil (a powerful antioxidant) harvested from Jeju Island in Korea, this oil intensely nourishes your skin as it helps strengthen the skin barrier. Other skin-loving oils like olive, rosa, grapeseed, and jasmine, as well as vitamin E, also team up to help combat aging and firm skin.
3. VIOLET VOSS Berries N' Cream Dreams Eyeshadow Palette
In the mood for berries this summer? You’re in luck, because this fruit-inspired palette from VIOLET VOSS is coming to Power Picks. Featuring 10 matte and shimmer shades in a range of berry and cream tone, this universally flattering palette is the key to creating any—and all—the sweet, romantic eye looks you can imagine.
4. SELFLESS BY HYRAM Niacinamide and Maracujá Daily Barrier Support Face Moisturizer
Happier skin, here you come! This daily moisturizer from YouTube skincare influencer Hyram Yarbro helps support your skin’s health with a host of nourishing ingredients that include barrier-strengthening niacinamide, soothing maracujá, and moisturizing murumuru seed butter. With so much goodness packed in one product, you’ll never want to do your skincare routine without it again.
5. CIATÉ LONDON Brazilian Glow Eye & Face Palette in Light Medium or Medium Dark
If you only have space in your carry-on for one palette, let it be this multitasking favorite from CIATÉ LONDON. Described as a “one-stop shop for bronzed complexion perfection,” this palette contains a finishing powder (not to be confused with a setting powder), bronzer, blusher, and highlighter to help you complete an entire makeup look without ever reaching back into your makeup bag.
