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 June Glam Bags (and stealing from work if we don’t).
“I’m a huge fan of LA-based clean beauty brand YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE. I keep at least two of their products in my daily rotation at all times. I reach for this lightweight cream that’s packed with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid on warm weather days for just the right amount of moisture and no mid-day shine.”
“There’s really only one word to describe my brows: Bushy. Ok, you could call them thick, unruly, bold, and then some. I love them though and I love that this BENEFIT clear gel is the only (and I mean only—I’ve tried them all) thing that can keep them in place all day long. The best part, it doesn’t do that weird flaking thing some other strong-hold formulas do.”
“To me, PACIFICA products feel like a beachy escape—and boy could I use one right about now. I love the glow this duo gives me. It almost makes it look like I’ve just gotten back from vacay. A girl can dream!”
“With hot temps already setting in, I’ve been leaning into summer shades—and I cannot get enough of peachy-coral hues. This crayon-like lip tint gives the softest peachy sheen and a solid dose of moisture, which is fab for my perpetually dry lips.”
“Home manis have quickly become my way to disconnect and indulge in a little quiet time. Normally, I’m all about the neons—but lately I’ve been gravitating toward classic ummery shades—like this perfectly cool-toned red. It’s the perfect color for a much-needed pedicure!”
“The sultry coppery hues of this duo give me major seventies disco vibes. I love using a wash of Wynwood over eyes and then adding pop of shimmery Heat to the center of my lids. Open the windows, pop a bottle of wine, and put on an old record—aka the perfect Friday night glam plan.”
“When I discovered LXMI, I fell in love with their mission just as much as their amazing products. They’re dedicated to 'giving work' and creating opportunities for marginalized women in East Africa’s Nile River Valley, where the nilotica nut (LXMI’s main ingredient) is harvested. Not only does this rosy moisturizer give my skin an instant glow, I feel good knowing the brand is doing good for the world.”
“Day, night, work, weekend—a rosy lip is my go-to color. I love that I can swipe this creamy lipstick on without a thought, and know it goes with any beauty look I have on. My lips also tend to get crazy dry no matter what season it is, and I don’t have to layer on tons of balm before wearing this to keep my lips soft—it’s nice and hydrating, and the color is so versatile.”
“MALIN + GOETZ is one of my OG favorite beauty brands—their products never disappoint! My skin is on the drier side, so I’m always looking for a cleanser that does the job without stripping my skin of moisture. I also love how refreshing it smells and feels after a long day—it gets rid of all the dirt and makeup and leaves my skin feeling so nice and smooth.”
“I know it’s anatomically impossible, but I swear my pores are the size of Lake Superior. This pore-disguising primer makes them virtually disappear and stay gone all day. Plus, it stops my oily T-zone in its tracks.”
“A few drops of this leave-in conditioner make my heat-damaged hair look like it’s never seen a flat iron in its life. My hair looks smooth, silky, shiny, and best of all, the cream protects it from future damage.”
“I get it! Face oil and anti-acne sound like an oxymoron, but somehow this clarifying oil did just that. It kept my face clear from pesky pimples without drying it out like most of my other acne products.”
