IPSY Beauty Editors Share Their Favorite Products From November’s Glam Bags
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 November Glam Bags (and stealing from work if we don’t).
Marta Topran, Senior Editorial Manager
1. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Lip Gloss Mini in Moon Jelly
“I may be steering clear of bright lip colors these days (#masklife), but I still want my mouth to pop. This is the perfect sparkly gloss—it’s got a diamond-like blueish shimmer to it that looks so so pretty and makes my lips look way plumper than they are.”
2. COMPLEX CULTURE OVERTIME Contour Powder
“Where did summer go?? I’m in major need of some warming up and this matte contour powder is just the thing. It gives me some subtle sculpting and just the right amount of glow for fall.”
3. TARTE Double Duty Beauty™ Shape Tape™ Concealer in Light-Medium
“Holy. Grail. Status. There is nothing Shape Tape can’t cover. From the bluest of under eye circles to the gnarliest of breakouts—this is my ride or die. A little goes a long way so dot carefully!”
Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor
1. BANILA CO. Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm
“As every New Yorker knows, winters here can be long and brutal on your skin—especially if you’re prone to dryness like me. I’ve been using this super hydrating balm and my skin’s been so happy ever since. It melts onto your skin (so satisfying) and gets every bit of makeup off. My skin’s never been more comfy.”
2. COMPLEX CULTURE Good Lighting Highlighter in Afterglow
“When it comes to highlighters, I’m super light-handed. It can be hard to find the perfect shade for my medium-tan skin-tone. I love how this one goes on subtle and builds up to a natural glow—no cakeyness, and it doesn’t amplify imperfections. Love it.”
3. BOBBI BROWN COSMETICS Smokey Eye Mascara
“I rave about this mascara every chance I get. It’s been an OG in my stash for as long as I can remember. I love a smokey eye any day of the week, and this one lengthens and volumizes my lashes so easily. It also gets my dark lashes looking blacker-than-black—perfect for adding a little drama to my looks.”
Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor
1. FIRST AID BEAUTY Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer
“Now that I’m using retinol on the reg, my p.m. moisture needs are serious. A healthy slather each night helps keep those retinol ‘uglies’ (red, peely skin) at bay and my skin super glowy. I’m consistently awestruck at how I did, in fact, wake up like this.”
2. SAND & SKY Australian Pink Clay - Porefining Face Mask
“Every time I use this, I like to think my pores are all celebrating with me—because the dirt-sucking, pore-refining abilities of this clay-based mask are amazing. I use this twice a week to keep my pores clean and happy.”
3. TATCHA Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
“The mist is ultra-fine, so it feels like a gentle morning dew and less like I’m punishing myself with a squirt gun. It’s insanely refreshing and a few spritzes gives me the radiant, dewy skin of a cherub.”
Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor
1. ITEM BEAUTY Lid Glaze in Lunar Drop
“No matter how many YouTube tutorials and TikTok makeup videos I watch, I’ll never be one of those girls who can master eyeshadow looks, which is why I stick to an all-over wash of color on my lids. My new go-to: this shimmery champagne cream shadow from ITEM BEAUTY. It couldn't be any easier. I just swipe it across my lids, then blend out the edges with a clean finger.”
2. MISCHO BEAUTY Nail Lacquer in Mischo
“When it comes to my home decor aesthetic, wardrobe staples, and go-to makeup look, I’m all about neutrals. The same is true for my everyday nail polishes, which is why I love this rosy lacquer from MISCHO. It’s a nice pop of color without straying too far from my chosen color palette.”
3. OBLIPHICA PROFESSIONAL Seaberry Hair Mask
“To treat my perpetually dry hair (I can thank years of bleach and hot tools for that one!), I’ve swapped out my regular conditioner for this hydrating mask. After a few uses, my hair is noticeably softer and more manageable, and I’m hooked.”
