August’s Glam Bag Add-Ons Are the Cherry On Top of Your Summer
It’s August, which means we’re making our last-hurrah rounds of summer festivities and soaking up the rest of our vacation. It seemed like only yesterday that we learned about boyfriend blush and became obsessed with the latest bronzers and blonzers! But if you think that the best of summer is coming to a close, IPSY’s got a few more tricks up our sleeves.
This month’s Glam Bag is filled with skin-loving goodies, hair heroes, and makeup must-haves, but we have a way of making your curation even better—and that’s with August Glam Bag Add-Ons, of course! This month’s Glam Bag Add-Ons spoilers are star studded with everything you want and what you didn’t know you needed. New to Glam Bag Add-Ons and wondering how it works? We’ve got you. For those who really want to dive into that FOMO, you can check out our previous spoilers here. Curious about what you might get next month, check out our September Glam Bag Add-Ons Spoilers.
1. MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist For Ever Matte 24HR Longwear Liquid Lipstick
Ever checked on your makeup in the mirror while out with friends and looked in horror at your uneven lipstick staring back at you? But it was perfect before you left! Sometimes, no amount of lip liner will help keep your lippie intact, especially after a few bites and drinks—until now. These iconic liquid lipsticks (you could snag the prettiest peachy-nude or a muted mauve) last up to 24 hours without fading, feathering, or transferring. Just one swipe of these gives you full-coverage color and comfort without drying out your lips. We love these long-lasting lippie legends.
2. PERSONA COSMETICS Identity Two Eyeshadow Palette
If you’re looking for rich, buttery, and buildable pigments in both earth and jewel tones, this eyeshadow palette is your go-to. It features 12 buildable shades that span from matte onyx, brown, and beige, to deeper shimmery tones in royal purple and emerald green. You can take your look from light and minimalistic during the day, to dark, bold, and colorful at night.
3. COMMODITY FRAGRANCES Commodity Personal Scent Space Kit
Perfect for those who love subtle, close-to-the-skin scents, this up-close-and-personal discovery kit is all about proximity and space. They’re not your typical musky, gourmand, or floral scents that make a loud announcement when they enter the room; instead, they err on the quiet and intimate side of the fence. You’ll have to stand close to hear them. Out of the six scents, you’re sure to find a few that speak to you. Best worn for a romantic night in, or in close quarters with that special someone.
4. OLAPLEX No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask
Wish you could distance yourself from your weak and brittle hair? Here’s your cue to get in some bonding time—literally. Ten minutes is all it takes to get your hair from fried and frizzy to soft and shiny. It revives your dry, damaged hair and helps to repair it from the inside out with the brand’s patented Bond Building Technology™. Plus, some serious moisture from ceramides, meadowfoam oil, and rice bran oil give your locks that luscious look while remaining weightless.
5. LOVED01 SKINCARE Cleansing Wipes
Makeup meltdowns and excess sweat don’t have to ruin your summer fun. Instead, reach for these on-the-go face and body wipes for a quick and easy clean-up. Bring them to the gym with you for a post-workout wipedown or to remove makeup without makeup remover. The wipes are soaked in gentle exfoliating heroes, like salicylic acid and papaya extract, to help with congestion and dead skin cells, while green tea and cucumber soothe and hydrate. Acne-prone girlies will love these for their deep-cleansing yet calming properties, too.
6. LANEIGE Water Bank Serum
Do we spot another cult-favorite skincare product from this K-beauty brand in your Glam Bag Add-Ons? Indeed, we do! The perfect preliminary step to your fave moisturizer, this intensely hydrating serum helps to lock in moisture in the thirstiest of complexions with hyaluronic acid, deep sea algae, and a 10-step microfiltration system. Peptides and green tea ensure a strong and protected moisture barrier while giving your skin a replenished and smoother look.
7. FRESH Sugar Watermelon Lip Balm
Our new favorite lip balm is now available in mouth-watering watermelon, and we are living for it. This little jar contains the secret formula for soft, luscious, and plush lips that stay hydrated and smooth for up to 24 hours. Wear it before bed and wake up to perfectly a plump pout, or use it any time your lips want a boost of moisture with a hint of rosy-red tint.
8. ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Night Cream
In order to achieve smooth, glass-like skin, you need to get beyond surface deep. This overnight cream works while you sleep to gently help stimulate cell renewal with the brand’s proprietary Tri-Enzyme Technology, for a brighter and more even-looking complexion when you wake. Skin-loving lipids, white truffle, and restorative samphire (a sea fennel extract rich in vitamins A and C) plump and help clarify skin while fighting off environmental stressors that contribute to visible signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. You don’t want to sleep on this…or maybe you do!
