Beachy waves, punchy manis, glossy lips—summer and July’s designs have officially arrived. Whether you’re on the coast or poolside, this month’s Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus designs were made for fun in the sun. So tuck your SPF and sunnies inside and get ready to live your best life all summer long.
To give you a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making our Glam Bags, we tapped IPSY designer Joanne Wong to give us all the deets, from inspo to design to construction. Want to see past designs? Check out our amazing bags from May and June.

July 2022 Glam Bag
“The teal, blue, and yellow are inspired by the beach, ocean, and summer fruits,” Wong tells us. The July Glam Bag is constructed with a pool blue faux leather, embossed with a wave-like texture, lemon sorbet-colored zipper tape and lining, and a gold starfish charm on the zipper pull as a final touch.
It’s also the perfect size for storing your small must-haves (in addition to your five new deluxe-size samples) for all your pool and beach days—the zip-up feature will help keep everything sand-free. “I always put my sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, lip balm, and waterproof mascara inside my Glam Bag during the summer time,” Wong adds as a pro tip.
July 2022 Glam Bag Plus
The wavy striped pattern is the ultimate accompaniment for any beach outfit, and this month we have two colorways making their way to Ipsters: ocean blue and lemon sorbet yellow. We also think it’s the perfect design for a summer manicure!
Made with a lightweight microfiber, the July Glam Bag plus is easy to pack your larger essentials (think spray sunscreen, deodorant, hair combs), then fold and stow away. “I love to using the Glam Bag Plus pouch to organize my swimwear and comfy cover-up inside my large beach tote bag. This way, I can easily keep my clean or dirty clothes separate from my other belongings,” says Wong.
