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).
Tiffany Tse, Editorial Director
1. KINSHIP Mint Mud Deep Pore Detox Mask
“If I can’t have perfect, poreless-looking skin, the next best thing is clean, properly taken-care-of pores. That’s where this supercharged mask comes in—made with lactic acid and jojoba oil beads to offer chemical and physical pore-unclogging exfoliation and natural clay minerals to help detox. Plus, I love how KINSHIP’s committed to clean formulations and sustainable packaging (for example, this jar is made with recycled ocean waste plastic)!
2. LAW BEAUTY ESSENTIALS Nail Polish in Net Worth How Much
“I’m incredibly picky about nail polish colors, never straying far from classic reds or understated neutrals. But I’m branching out with LAW BEAUTY ESSENTIALS’ creamy green—cleverly dubbed Net Worth How Much. It’s such a rich, unique shade, but still subtle enough for my tastes. Plus, the five-free formulation is 100% vegan!”
3. TATCHA Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
“I carry this portable mister in my purse at all times! When I feel like my makeup’s starting to look cakey, a few spritzes of this soothing skin savior instantly replenishes moisture. A blend of botanical oils, hyaluronic acid, and Okinawan red algae give you an enviable fresh-faced glow.”
Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor
1. ORIGINS Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash
“Winter is just about here and my skin knows it. I’m constantly searching for ways to keep my skin balanced and happy, starting with switching up my cleanser. This stuff feels so satisfying to use and gets rid of every trace of makeup without drying my skin. And the minty essential oil is sooo refreshing.”
2. TANAÏS Liquid Kajal in Bengal Green
“My all-time favorite makeup product is eyeliner—I can’t go without it. But when it comes to shades, I hardly stray from black. That’s until I set eyes on this gorgeous, rich green. It’s the perfect pop of fun for my fall eye looks and the formula is incredibly creamy and long-lasting.”
3. MARC JACOBS BEAUTY At Lash'd Lengthening and Curling Mascara in Blacquer
“This beautiful mascara adds the perfect touch of glam to my everyday routine. It lengthens, curls, defines—everything you need in a mascara. Plus, it’s made with biotin peptide and provitamin B5 to condition and nourish your lashes.”
Hannah Cassidy, Senior Beauty Editor
1. H2O+ Hydration Sensitive Gel Cream Moisturizer
“Winter can be hard on us sensitive types—with colder, dryer weather, my skin is practically begging for more moisture. Thanks to calming chamomile and squalane, this soothing cream is like a flood of relief (and hydration) for stressed-out complexions.”
2. AUTHENTIC BEAUTY CONCEPT Dry Shampoo
“Anyone with bangs understands the woes that accompany them: constant zhuzhing, cowlicks, and the inevitable greasy fringe. Let me tell you, having a travel-sized dry shampoo on hand (like this one from AUTHENTIC BEAUTY CONCEPT) is an absolute game changer. A quick spritz helps zap oil and add a little body so you can mold them back into shape.”
3. TRESLÚCE BEAUTY Grateful Soul Eyeshadow Quad
“Such. Pretty. Colors. Plus, these shadows from TRESLÚCE BEAUTY are seriously amazing to work with. They’re buttery, blendable, and pigmented with minimal fallout, so if you’re partial to a pop of something vibrant—run, don’t walk to this quad palette.”
Maddie Aberman, Senior Beauty Editor
1. IT COSMETICS Brow Power Universal Defining Eyebrow Pencil in Universal Taupe
“I’m all for a fluffy, soap-brow look, but sparse spots in my brows require a little extra help, which is where this brown pencil comes in. The taupe color blends perfectly with my brunette brows, and the waxy tip makes it nearly impossible to overdo it.”
2. OUAI Detox Shampoo
“Stop sleeping on clarifying shampoos! If you’re anything like me, then your scalp is laden with dry shampoo and styling product residue that gets in the way of healthy hair growth and shine. After just one rinse with this Detox Shampoo, my strands were noticeably glowing, and my scalp felt clear and clean but not stripped.”
3. TARTE SUGAR RUSH™ Cake Butter Whipped Body Butter
“It’s officially body butter season, but don’t get it twisted… any old body butter won’t do. I’m looking for one with intense hydration that my skin needs during this dry, frigid weather but doesn’t feel like I’m coating my body in Crisco. Surprisingly, that’s a hard combo to find, which is why I was surprisingly delighted when I first gave this Whipped Body Butter a go. It absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling supple and smooth through the next day.”
