July Glam Bag Power Picks Spoilers
Every month, Glam Bag subscribers are guaranteed at least one Power Pick in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a Glam Bag in July could receive one of the following Power Picks:
1. CIATÉ LONDON Dewy Skin Vitamin C Glass Glow Primer
If you really want to turn up the wattage on your skin’s glow this summer, we recommend layering products with dewy finishes, starting with your primer. (Need recs for dewy foundations? We’ve got you covered.) This primer features a cushiony texture and an impressive list of skin-loving ingredients—like vitamins C and E, dragon fruit, yuzu, and hyaluronic acid—for a luminous glow with a glass-like finish.
2. ELEMIS Rehydrating Ginseng Toner
This toner is perfect for those with dry, dehydrated skin because it rebalances the skin’s pH level without alcohol or harsh ingredients. Infused with extracts of Korean ginseng, quillaja wood, and sweet betty flower, this gentle formula helps to revitalize and hydrate your skin while leaving it looking radiant. Use it after cleansing to tone your skin and remove any last traces of makeup.
3. KEYS SOULCARE Golden Face Cleanser With Manuka Honey Mini
Have you incorporated turmeric in your skincare routine yet? If the answer’s “no,” then you’re in for a treat. This golden Ayurvedic spice can help to infuse your skin with antioxidants, resulting in a brightened, soothed complexion. In this calming cleanser from Alicia Keys’ brand, turmeric teams up with star ingredient manuka honey to create a nourishing, hydrating, and antioxidant-rich formula that will leave your skin (and soul) feeling soothed and refreshed.
4. E.L.F. COSMETICS Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide
Need your makeup to last from brunch to BBQ to bonfire? This gel-based face primer is what you’re looking for. The sticky texture grips makeup for all-day wear, and the formula is even infused with 4% niacinamide to help even out skin tone and brighten. Perfect for all skin types, this primer applies completely clear and leaves a dewy finish.
July BoxyCharm by IPSY Power Picks Spoilers
Every month, BoxyCharm subscribers will get two Power Picks in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a BoxyCharm in July could receive the following:
1. NATASHA DENONA Fez Eyeshadow Palette
NATASHA DENONA eyeshadows are the gold standard in color payoff and blendability. Each shade in this five-pan palette is stunning, but the real show-stopper for us is the deep, saturated navy that has us dreaming of all the ways we’d rock blue eyeshadow.
2. KAT BURKI Silk Protein Primer
We’re almost tempted to say that this primer is more skincare than it is makeup. It contains hyaluronic acid and a silk amino protein complex to hydrate and plump the look of your skin, plus zinc and titanium dioxide to help shield you from UVA and UVB rays while it smooths and preps your skin for flawless makeup application.
3. HERBIVORE BOTANICALS Moon Dew 1% Bakuchiol + Peptides Retinol Alternative Eye Cream
Bakuchiol has been blowing up the skincare world as of late. This plant-based retinol alternative can help reduce the look of wrinkles and pores and tighten the appearance of skin, all without the harsh side effects that are sometimes associated with retinol. This line-filling eye cream from HERBIVORE BOTANICALS includes this buzzworthy ingredient, plus a dose of plant peptides to help visibly firm eye creases over time without irritation.
4. CIATÉ LONDON Brazilian Glow Eyeshadow Palette
Take your look from day to night with this stunning 24-pan palette that features silky pigmented mattes and super-shimmery metallics for endless bronze eye looks. Whether you use one of the rich brown shades to create a smoked-out liner look or one of the gold shimmers to add a touch of dimension to your lid, you’ll have an easy go-to glow that’s perfect for summer.
5. MALIN + GOETZ Vitamin E Face Moisturizer
Simplifying skincare for everyone, MALIN + GOETZ believes in more benefits with fewer steps. This multitasking face moisturizer lives up to that brand ethos, simultaneously balancing and hydrating skin with an impressive list of key ingredients: vitamin E to strengthen and defend skin against environmental stressors, fatty acids and chamomile to trap hydration in the skin, and more. Bonus: You can even use it as a primer for makeup or as an aftershave balm.
