See How IPSY Beauty Editors Are Building Their Perfect September Glam Bag Plus

09_GBP_EditorsPick_Thumbnail09_GBP_EditorsPick_Header

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 Glam Bag Plus.

Marta Topran, Senior Editorial Manager

COMPLEX CULTURE Press & Set • Bronzer Brush

1. COMPLEX CULTURE Press & Set • Bronzer Brush

“Try and find a softer brush than this I dare you. Once I got my hands on the new brush collection from COMPLEX CULTURE, they quickly replaced everything else in my makeup bag. I love that this one multitasks so I don’t have to waste time or energy on a complicated brush routine.”

ILLAMASQUA Hydra Veil Primer

1. ILLAMASQUA Hydra Veil Primer

“My large pores are one of my biggest skinsecurities. I love the way this hydrating primer makes them disappear instantly under my makeup. But what I love even more is the way it makes my bare skin look perfect when I’m not wearing any other makeup. It’s the secret to my no-makeup days. Shh, don’t tell.”

GOLDFADEN MD Brightening Elixir Protect + Repair Brightening Serum

2. GOLDFADEN MD Brightening Elixir Protect + Repair Brightening Serum

“Confession: I may have spent a little too much time in the California sun this summer. This brightening powerhouse (it’s got ascorbic acid—my fave form of vitamin C) is helping to repair all that damage and brighten up my freckles.”

DR BRANDT SKINCARE Pores No More PoreDermabrasion

3. DR. BRANDT SKINCARE Pores No More PoreDermabrasion

“Regular exfoliation is my biggest skincare secret. For me, DR. BRANDT makes some of the best scrubs on the market. I love that this has a combo of physical scrubbers plus a dose of chemical exfoliation with salicylic acid. It’s the one-two punch my skin needs to get glowy fast. Plus, I love that it’s fragrance-free.”

Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor

ITEM BEAUTY Lash Snack in Midnight Mood

1. ITEM BEAUTY Lash Snack in Midnight Mood

“When it comes to mascaras, I’m super picky. I need volume, definition, and a natural-looking formula that won’t end up flaking into my eyes or smudged on my under eyes. This mascara DELIVERS. Two coats and my lashes look like mine, but better (lengthy, pigmented, and soft)—and with the added growth vitamins, I can’t wait to see what they look like over time!”

SOAPBOX Coconut Milk Hair Mist

2. SOAPBOX Hydrate & Shine Coconut Milk Hair Mist With Vitamin E

“Did anybody else dye their hair a bunch of crazy colors (and then unsuccessfully attempt to strip them) during quarantine? Just me? Cool, cool. Needless to say, my strands were drier than a trip to Palm Springs in August—until I incorporated this conditioning mist. After showering, I spritz this onto wet hair from mid-lengths to ends to lock in moisture and convince the world my hair is totally healthy.”

FEEL Vitamin E Balm

3. FEEL Vitamin E Balm in Rose

“For me, multitasking balms are like french fries—there’s no such thing as too many. The soft pinky-rose color gives a sheer wash of color to lips, but my little secret? Tap this balm onto cheekbones and down into your blush. It creates a gel-like finish that gives a really natural-looking flush. Think: Just finished yoga glow.”

Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor

BEAUTYBLENDER Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge

1. BEAUTYBLENDER Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge

If you’ve ever used a Beautyblender, you know how game-changing it is. It’s one of my holy grail products that I just can’t do without. It applies makeup flawlessly—smooth, no streaks, and it’s so easy to sheer out or build up foundation with it. I even use it to apply cream blush and highlighter. It’s pure magic.”

WANDER BEAUTY Wanderess Seascape Eyeshadow Palette

2. WANDER BEAUTY Wanderess Seascape Eyeshadow Palette

“The first thing I noticed when I saw this palette was that beautiful, deep blue. Have I worn blue shadow before? Not really. Do I now? You bet. Every shade in this palette looks so pretty alone, and is next level gorgeous with a pop of blue color. Plus, the whole thing gives me vacay vibes which I SO need.”

3. YENSA Super 8 Lip Oil in Pink Shine

“I love YENSA for their superfood-packed products, and this one is so majorly hydrating and healthy. One swipe quenches my lips (they get dry easily) and although it’s an oil, it’s not the least bit greasy. It’s so shiny, I even dab some on my lids for a cool, glossy effect.”

Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor

ITEM BEAUTY Brow Chow in Warm Blonde

2. ITEM BEAUTY Brow Chow in Warm Blonde

“It’s impossible to overdo your brows with the perfect waxy pencil. It deposits the most perfect amount of color without looking crazy. And the buffing brush on the other end somehow makes it look even more natural. I’m a huge fan!”

MURAD Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 | PA+++

3. MURAD Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 | PA+++

“For mornings when I’m rushing to get ready (a.k.a. Every morning. What can I say? I love my beauty sleep!), this is my hero product. It takes the place of my brightening serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen all in one step. Plus, it absorbs fast, so I can quickly slap on some makeup and get started with my day.”
