Every month, Glam Bag members receive at least one Power Pick in their five-product assortment. If you signed up for a Glam Bag in August, you might find one of these fab Power Picks inside:
Love the look of toasty, sun-kissed skin without the UV damage? A light dusting of this bronzer creates a radiant, just-got-back-from-the-beach glow in an instant. The ultra-fine pigments are featherweight and blend in like butter to create a natural-looking, second-skin finish.
Your quest for natural, flushed-out cheeks that last all day ends here. This liquid blush works like camo to seamlessly blend into your skin or makeup, creating the perfect dupe for the real deal. It’s lightweight, long-lasting, buildable, and adds a dewy pop of rosy pink color to your cheeks without being streaky or heavy.
This light and airy gel-cream packs a hydrating punch, quenching your thirsty skin with time-release moisture while a blend of prebiotics and probiotics help to balance out your microbiome and soothe stressed-out skin.
Give your skin some TLC with this best-selling serum. It helps restore radiance and elasticity by strengthening your skin barrier overnight with the brand’s exclusive 1-in-60 Million Night Peptide. The results? Firmer, bouncier, and more youthful-looking skin that stays hydrated for up to 72 hours.
Every month, BoxyCharm subscribers will get two Power Picks in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a BoxyCharm in August might receive the following:
