See How IPSY Beauty Editors Are Building Their Perfect November 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.
Luckily for us (and you!), those favorites are more likely than ever to end up in our bags. That’s because last month we launched Ultra Personalization for Glam Bag Plus. Every month you get to choose three (!!!) of the five full-size products in your Glam Bag Plus, shop for amazing Add-Ons, and see what two products IPSY has selected just for you. All of this means you can build your perfect bag every single month.
Want to know what IPSY beauty editors are coveting this month? Here are all the products we’re choosing, adding on, and crossing our fingers IPSY includes in our own November Glam Bag Plus.
Marta Topran, Senior Editorial Manager
1. ITEM BEAUTY Lid Glaze in Lunar Drop
“For those days that I’m getting up 10 minutes before my first Zoom yet still need to look (and feel!) cute, I’m reaching for this easy-to-use shimmery shadow. If you can apply lip gloss, you can swipe this onto your lids and smudge it in no problem.”
2. COMPLEX CULTURE FULL TIME Eyeshadow Palette
“With all my mask wearing, I’m really leaning into wearing more eyeshadow these days. I love how many looks I can create with this versatile palette. Everything from subtle to statement-making.”
3. SUNDAY RILEY U.F.O. Ultra Clarifying Acne Treatment Face Oil
“Obsessed is an understatement. This genius salicylic acid-infused facial oil is perfect for people like me who are simultaneously breaking out yet dry. It clears up my congestion while leaving my skin soft and flake-free. Total game changer.”
Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor
1. CIATÉ LONDON Extraordinary Translucent Powder
“This setting powder is truly translucent—you don’t see a trace of it once you dust it away. Some white-based powders leave my medium-tan skin looking dry, but this one sets my makeup to perfection and leaves no trace behind.”
2. TULA Eye Feel Amazing Cooling & Brightening Hydrogel Eye Mask
“I’m a little bit obsessed with gel eye masks. They just feel so cool on your skin and really wake up your eye area. I love keeping these in my fridge and popping them on while I work on my eye looks—my eye area looks brighter, depuffed, and feels sooo good after. Plus, they help catch eyeshadow fallout!”
3. WANDER BEAUTY Skyliner Automatic Gel Eyeliner
“Eyeliner is the one thing I cannot do without—and liquids and gels are my go-tos. The skinny tip glides on so easy, just where I want to apply. Love it for everything from a cute kitten flick or more dramatic wings—and it won’t smudge easy (a bonus when you’re out in the cold air.)”
Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor
1. ARACELI BEAUTY Ojos Perfectos Liquid Eyeliner in Coffee/Café
“With super fair skin and blonde lashes, black liner feels heavy for everyday wear, but I still want a *little* drama. My secret? A quick flick of this espresso brown liquid liner (the shade is perfect!) and a swipe of mascara. Done and done.”
2. SERAPHINE BOTANICALS Fruit Butter - Lip Mask
“My lips are perpetually chapped and come wintertime, balms just won’t cut it. This lip mask is heaven in a tube—and trust me, I’ve tried a million of them. It’s hydrating, buttery (not sticky!), and has the teeniest milky pink hue that somehow makes my lips look full and healthy.”
3. MILK MAKEUP Lip + Cheek in Werk
“The one product I can’t live without: Cream blush. A few swipes of this dusty rose cream-in-a-stick gives me an instant healthy-looking glow. And that dewy finish? A dry winter complexion’s best friend.”
Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor
1. COMPLEX CULTURE Deal Closer Tinted Lip Cream in Mauve Nude
“I like my lipsticks like I like my skincare: lightweight, hydrating, and a little glowy. This lip tint checks all three boxes. I like to pat a little in the center of my lips, then blend out with my finger for a diffused, undone lip look. Now all I need is three more for my purse, car, and desk.”
2. KATE SOMERVILLE Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream
“Don’t let the goat milk scare you. This moisturizer is a Game. Changer. I use it as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine to lock in moisture, and I love that it doesn’t mess with any of my other p.m. products, like serums and retinol.”
3. BEAUTYBLENDER BeautyBlender Beauty Queen & Opal Essence Duo
“I thought I had mastered glowy, natural-looking foundation...then I tried this duo. The BeautyBlender gives everything an airbrushed finish yet somehow magically looks like you’re not wearing any makeup. And this serum primer turned any foundation into a radiant dream.”
