IPSY Beauty Editors Share Their Favorite Products From June’s Glam Bag Plus
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 Bag Plus (and stealing from work if we don’t).
Marta Topran, Senior Editorial Manager
1. BLISS Oh My Gommage! Cleansing Stick
“When I lived in New York City, BLISS SPA was my go-to for the best pore-clearing facials. It’s crazy to think I’ve been a fan of the brand for legit 20 years. This super handy face cleansing stick is a new fave. I love the ease of it especially for travel and the gym (whenever we can do that again!). It leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy—it’s almost like a facial at their iconic spa.”
2. HAUS LABORATORIES Le Riot Lip Gloss
“Aside from lip balm, I rarely finish a lip product. So the fact that I hit tube on this gloss is saying a lot. It goes on so smooth, lasts forever, doesn’t feel sticky, and the shine is so so pretty. And when I used to actually see people IRL, it would get me so many compliments.”
3. GRACE & STELLA Rose Quartz Facial Roller
“Self-care has never been more important. And skincare = my self-care. If you’ve maybe been hitting the salty comfort foods more than usual, facial rolling is going to be your new best friend. It’s a great way to de-puff, stimulate blood flow, and help your skincare products penetrate deeper. I love to store mine in the fridge for extra de-puffing power.”
Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor
1. HONEY JARRET Clean Cover Cushion Foundation
“Since I’ve been living in sweatpants and moisturizer, my makeup choices have followed suit—fuss-free and nourishing. This foundation’s cushion functionality helps me get just the right amount of product and it’s packed with skin-yummy ingredients like propolis and moringa extract. The result? A natural, blurring finish that feels like second skin.”
2. HUDA BEAUTY Basic B Sponge
“Don’t let the name fool you, makeup sponges are anything but basic. In fact, I’ve tried every other method for applying foundation, but my holy grail is still a good sponge. Just dampen, dip into your foundation (I add it to the back of my hand), and tap onto your face—the tapered tip helps me get into the area around my nose that’s always prone to redness.”
3. WANDER BEAUTY Wanderess™ Seascape Eyeshadow Palette
“When I first saw this palette, I locked my gaze on Coastal—a deep, shimmery cobalt. I obviously love the warm-toned shades, but for whatever reason I felt like I couldn’t pull it off. Wrong! A sheer wash of blue paired with a pop of Seafoam on the inner corner? *Chef’s kiss.* I dare you to surprise yourself—it’s seriously chic.”
Pia Bhattacharya, Beauty Editor
1. ILLAMASQUA Liquid Eyeliner in Black
“I love trying new eyeliners—pencils, gels, liquids—all of them. But even though I wear eyeliner pretty much every day, I still find it super tough to create a perfect cat eye or kitten flick. This one helped me SO much. The formula goes on easy, but it’s not so liquidy that it gets everywhere (great for correcting mistakes!), and I have more control over my lines thanks to its super precise tips. Now if I could just steady my shaky hands!”
2. CIATE LONDON Marbled Metals Eyeshadow in Entwine
“Like most of us, I cannot resist rose gold anything—especially makeup. This metallic, shimmery shadow catches the light beautifully and gives my lids the perfect twinkle and glow. I also love the texture—it blends on really smoothly without tons of fallout, so it’s great to glam up your lids in a pinch.”
3. PURLISSE BEAUTY Watermelon Energizing Aqua Balm
“You know that refreshing feeling you get when you bite into a watermelon? This baby is like that, but for your face. First off, the scent is amazing—and when you smooth it on, it just feels so fresh and cool on your skin. I love this as a pick-me-up when my skin is looking dull and tired. It always leaves my skin feeling so hydrated (not greasy), and super soft.”
Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor
1. ARACELI BEAUTY Ojos Perfectos Liquid Eyeliner in Coffee/Café
“This is the first brown liquid liner I’ve ever tried, and I’m sold. It’s deep enough to define my eyes but more subtle than black for a softer look.”
2. COMPLEX CULTURE Precision Concealer Brush
“This unique brush makes my concealer blend in so seamlessly and effortlessly, it looks like I have naturally bright under eyes.”
3. DR. BRANDT SKINCARE Pores no More® Luminizer Primer
“I know everyone has pores, but I feel like mine are enormous! This primer disguises them with or without foundation and gives me a realistic glow. I’m obsessed.”
