IPSY Beauty Editors Share Their Favorite Products From December’s Glam Bags
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 December Glam Bags (and stealing from work if we don’t).
Marta Topran, Senior Editorial Manager
1. BENEFIT COSMETICS Precisely, My Brow Eyebrow Pencil in 3
“Legit my most favorite eyebrow pencil I’ve ever tried. As the name suggests, this guy has the perfect precise tip that only fills in where you want it to. No worry of too-bold-brows, this is perfect for all skill levels.”
2. CAUDALÍE Vinoperfect Radiance Serum
“Back in B.C. times (before COVID), I would splurge on the most luxe-feeling facials at the Caudalíe spa. This French brand harvests the power of wine grapes (so French right??) to brighten the skin and give it that certain je ne sais quoi. Until I can get back into the spa, this is giving me my glow.”
3. GOLDFADEN MD Facial Detox Clarify + Clear Mask
“Anyone else breaking out like crazy right now with all the mask wearing? To help my chin zit sitch I’m reaching for this mask from one of my favorite clean beauty brands. It’s got a soothing (yet effective) blend of zinc oxide, sulfur, and camphor that pulls out dirt and debris without over-drying my skin.”
Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor
1. CIATE LONDON Watermelon Burst Hydrating Lip Oil
“Winters are longgg here in NYC so I love anything that reminds me of summer—and this watermelon lip oil smells just like it. It gets my lips juicy, soft, and super shiny. SO refreshing.”
2. BEAU GACHIS Limited Edition Powder Brush - IPSY Exclusive
“Setting your makeup before putting on your mask is a must. I love how this brush evenly and lightly blends setting powders to perfection—I dust it over my lips to set lipstick, too. ”
3. LXMI Nilotica Goddess Glow
“My skin gets dry—like dry dry. Lately, I’ve been using this before or mixed with foundation for a radiance boost that looks so natural. My skin feels softer and smoother the more I use it. It’s just so good.”
Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor
1. FIRST AID BEAUTY 5 in 1 Bouncy Mask
“Um, this gel mask is magic. I haphazardly slathered it on and somehow it settled perfectly into and plumped up all the fine lines I’ve developed from this year’s stress.”
2. FEEL BEAUTY Enzymatic Exfoliating Cleanser
“Two words: Game changer. No amount of moisturizer was keeping me from waking up with dry skin. The enzymes gently buffed off dead cells and let my skin drink in all the moisture. ”
3. LAURA MAKEUP LABS Glozzing Sparkly Lipgloss in Spelzz
“I love glitter gloss—seriously, I own too many. The lilac flecks are so ethereal and I couldn’t resist adding another option to my collection.”
Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor
1. IT COSMETICS Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara Mini
“Lately, no-makeup makeup has been the name of the game, but I just can’t seem to quit mascara even on the most minimal of days. I love how buildable this mascara is. I can do a light coat for a subtle lash look, or add another layer to really play up the length and volume.”
2. BEAUTY FOR REAL Lip Revival Tinted Lip Balm in Hannah
“My fair skin and naturally pale lips mean that if I don’t put on a little lip color, I look ghostly. My LPOC (lip product of choice) is a tinted balm, and lately I’ve been grabbing this one a ton. It hydrates like a good lip balm should, and the rosy brown shade brightens up my complexion without looking too try-hard.”
3. GRACE & STELLA Lavender Body Lotion
“I hate to admit it, but most of the time I’m pretty neglectful of the skin on my body. This floral scented lotion has me rethinking where my skincare ends. The light lavender scent takes me straight to the south of France during spring (and far away from my apartment in the middle of winter).”
