It is getting closer and closer to 2023, and boy do we have something special for our Ipsters. Despite getting ready to say our goodbyes to 2022, many of us are still having trouble parting with our old beauty and skincare routines that just aren’t serving us the same anymore. Yes, that includes the decade-old pot of face-and-eye glitter you’ve dug up from the depths of your closet. You can save that for another time, because January’s Spoilers are here just in the nick of time.
We’ve shown you how to get prepped for New Years, and now we’re bringing in the goods to get you gorgeous for the rest of the month! From cult-favorite lip products, to versatile shadow palettes and skincare that helps you achieve an at-home facial. This month’s picks have got it all, and FOMO is the last thing you want as you’re entering the new year.
Go ahead and take a peek—we can’t wait for you to see what you can score. (And if you’re curious about what you might get next month, check out our February Glam Bag Plus Spoilers and Glam Bag Spoilers). Wondering what you might have missed in previous months?

January 2023 Glam Bag Spoilers
Ipsters who signed up for a Glam Bag in January could receive the following:
1. NARS COSMETICS Mini Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita
We do love a cult-favorite lippie from a brand that never fails us in the pigment department—and this velvety smooth lip pencil is among our faves. We love how you get long-lasting color that doesn’t fade or feather (just like a long-wearing matte lipstick), with the convenience and feel of a lip balm (thanks to its creamy vitamin E-enriched formula). The vibrant and vivid color payoff works well for all-over coverage, and its tapered tip makes it ideal for lining, defining, and enhancing the contours of your lips, too. That means this lip pencil pairs well with other lippies, but you can go ahead and just use it on its own. The compact size allows you to throw it in your bag and swipe on a lip color that lasts as long as you do. (Wish all your lippies could stand the test of time like this one?

2. FIRST AID BEAUTY Pure Skin Face Cleanser
Facial cleansers can be your BFF or your worst enemy if you have sensitive skin. We’ve shown you how to enter into the New Year with smooth, clear skin, and this product is definitely one you’ll want to keep in your arsenal. This cleanser comes without any of the irritating ingredients—its fragrance-free, pH-balanced, dermatologist-tested, and free of alcohol, artificial colorants, sulfates, parabens, and mineral oils. You just get a creamy, gentle, and effective face wash that rids your complexion of impurities, dirt, and makeup. Plus, its travel-friendly size makes this the perfect skincare companion in your cosmetics bag.
3. DEW OF THE GODS MINI Feels Microdermabrasion Facial Scrub
So you’re getting into your feels about the ending of 2022—whether you’re relieved that it’s over or already missing the good times you’ve had, one thing you won’t miss are all the dead skin cells you’ll be shedding when you use this exfoliating face scrub. It’s formulated with magnesium oxide crystals, soothing oat milk, and squalane to help erase your rough, uneven skin while protecting the newer, smoother skin that lays beneath. You’ll look and feel like a brand-new, glowier you—just in time to celebrate 2023 and all the new memories you’ll be creating.
4. MURAD Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture
After you’ve cleansed and buffed your skin to perfection, you’ll want to lock in the hydration so that it stays looking radiant. That’s where this lightweight yet luxuriously rich cream comes in. You get 24 hours of intense moisture that keeps your complexion balanced, supple, and youthfully smooth thanks to its advanced hyaluronic acid technology that delivers non-stop comfort and fine-line fighting nourishment to your skin. Coconut extracts, sunflower oil, and fruit oils help to condition and protect your skin’s moisture barrier, for visibly healthier skin that can withstand a night or two of celebration.
5. PURLISSE BEAUTY Silk Glow BB Base Primer
This glow-getting complexion primer is just what you need to achieve a silky smooth and dewy-looking complexion. It’s oil-free and has a satin finish, so your makeup looks natural yet free of imperfections. Plus, the chamomile-enriched formula soothes inflammation as well as prolongs the wear of your foundation, so that you can glow all night long.
6. ORYZA Nebula Shimmer Palette
One thing about this eyeshadow quad is that its name is an indication of how beautiful it looks (which is otherworldly, of course). Not only does this light up your eyes, there’s also a contour shade to help create depth and dimension or just the perfect subtle touch to your creases. Plus, we love how they’re shimmery and luminous without being too flashy. This palette is ideal for those who want to be eye-catching like a strobe, rather than sequins.
7. BEAUTY VAULTE Mascara
We love a no-fuss mascara that you can rely on for long, voluminous lashes that stay looking flawless through rain or shine—especially when it’s waterproof and long-wearing like this one is. Just a few swipes of this give you dramatic, flirty, and lusciously long lashes that you can bat all night without worrying about fading. Even through your tear-soaked salutations (either to send off 2022 or welcome 2023), this mascara won’t budge until you take it off (and if you don’t know how, read our blog on how to take off even the most stubborn of waterproof makeup). And what more could you ask for?
