Top Rated July 2021 Glam Bag Products
1. KOKIE PROFESSIONAL Precise Longwear Liquid Eyeliner
Coming in at first place with an impressive 89.50 percent rating of 4-5 stars from 13,690 Ipster reviews is your new secret weapon for sharp wings. The formula contains jet black pigments that last all day without smearing, smudging, or transferring. Plus, the firm felt tip allows for whipping up cat eyes (or cat faces, as one Ipster points out) with ease. “Holy moly this stuff is legit! My son and I drew cat faces on each other, and the waterproof action on this liner is no joke! I almost was a cat for work the next day…” writes Ipster agakg.
2. IT COSMETICS Lash Blowout Salon Volume Lift Mascara
In close competition with its 89.00 percent rating and 155,808 (!!) reviews, the famed IT COSMETICS mascara is undeniably Ipster approved. Give your lashes major length, nourishment, tons of volume with a biotin-spiked formula and unique wand that’s inspired by salon round brushes.
Take Ipster becki_errington’s testimonial as proof: “I have short, blonde, thin eyelashes (with some missing, creating a few small gaps) so I'm always on the hunt for a great mascara. But now... I think my search is over! I'm in love with this mascara! Not only did it make my lashes look thicker, which hid the gaps, but it also made them look almost twice as long. I look like I have naturally long lashes now! And as a side bonus, the mascara made my top lashes curl upwards. I didn't need to use a curler or any extra products. Definitely the best mascara I've tried in years!!”
3. KOKIE PROFESSIONAL Full Face Sponge
Beauty sponges have quickly become the gold standard of quick, flawless makeup application and blending—and this bb from KOKIE COSMETICS does not disappoint, with 40,875 reviews and 88.20 percent of Ipsters awarding 4-5 stars. The lavender-colored cutie easily blends liquid and cream formulas (from blush to foundation) with no streaks or cakiness.
“If I could have gotten more, I would have. It’s super soft and applies cover-up like melted butter. I really enjoy this sponge compared to the ones I’ve bought in the past,” says Ipster melodybrooke_13.
4. GRACE & STELLA Foaming Face Wash
This gentle, fragrance-free cleanser is everything you want in a face wash—fluffy, foamy, and fresh. And with 22,185 reviews and an 86.40% rating, it’s not hard to see why this is an instant hit. Rose damascena flower water, aloe, and hyaluronic acid work to tone, moisturize, and soothe skin while thoroughly removing any dirt, excess oil, and impurities. The result? Totally cleansed skin that’s never tight or dry.
“There is so much about this face wash that I love. The brand. Cruelty free. It really works. Plus my face doesn’t feel real dry afterwards. I could go on and on. It’s a really good all around face wash,” Ipster caryebear tells us.
5. SERAPHINE BOTANICALS Berry + Juice - 100% Vegan Lip Gel
Rounding out the top Glam Bag products from July is our fave non-sticky lip product—racking in an 86.20% rating of 4-5 stars. What makes this lip gloss-gel hybrid so good? The unique, gel-textured formula (packed with conditioning shea butter and plant oils) coats lips in a sheer peachy color and weightless moisture. Don’t just take our word for it…Ipter divableu is one of the many devotees among the 11,459 Ipster reviews. “Great finish, fragrance and aftertaste. All the things that matter in a lip gloss! I'd be surprised if this color wasn't flattering to all skin types, it's just the right amount of peach.”

6. 111SKIN 3 Phase Anti Blemish Booster
Breakouts...suck. There’s no doubt about it. Luckily, products like this booster from 111SKIN (with a whopping 92.50 percent rating of 4-5 stars!) are designed to nip them in the bud without adding any fuel to the fire—aka redness and irritation. A few drops of this serum helps regulate sebum production, refine pores, and reduce acne-causing bacteria—all while soothing the skin in the process.
We peeked into the 32,482 Ipster reviews and found a major fan following. “I don’t have enough good things to say about this product. I have always struggled with unruly acne that doesn’t respond well to most acne products with sensitive skin to boot, but this product clears my face in no time with no irritation! I love it” writes Ipster vburroughs1023.
7. GO-TO SKINCARE The Removalist
Coming in at a close second for July’s most-loved Glam Bag Plus products is a clay mask that blew our editors (and Ipsters) minds. Like a quick-fix detox for your complexion, this mask clarifies with kaolin clay and soothes with zinc oxide, making it safe for all skin types (including sensitive and acne-prone). But the best part? It won’t dry out your skin and rinses off easy-peasy.
It boasts a 92.20 percent 4-5 star rating and 2,554 declarations of love. “I have sensitive skin and this mask does not irritate my skin. It’s easy to apply and easy to wash off. It does not get crusty or flake everywhere. You can even use it as a spot treatment,” writes Ipster kaylenlanius.
8. HALF CAKED Your Eyes Only Palette
A dream come true palette. This collection of nine richly-pigmented shades in soft pinks and chocolate is a year-round stunner—making its way into July’s top five with an 89.70 percent rating from 8,995 reviews. The buttery soft shadow formula makes blending a breeze, so you can easily craft looks that range from subtle washes of color to all-out eye art.
Ipster TiniFlute writes, “Gorgeous colors, highly pigmented, great payoff, very little fallout, applies beautifully with fingers and brushes. The duochrome pink does not disappoint!!!”
9. MOTD COSMETICS Gold Goddess Face Brush Set
Create pro-level looks with just three face brushes. Yep, this top-rated trio (with an 89.70 percent rating of 4-5 stars) can do it all—thanks to its super soft, synthetic bristles that make applying and blending a breeze. Use them with your favorite powder, cream, and liquid products to sculpt, illuminate, and warm up your complexion.
Among the 9,522 raving reviews, Ipster april_hemhauser522 details what makes this set a winner. “These are three of the best face brushes that I’ve ever used. I’m usually a Sephora or Morphe snob when it comes to brushes, but these are amazing. They are so soft and love the way they lay down my powder contour and highlighters. Really truly a great set of brushes!!!!”
10. NEUMA neuSmooth Revitalizing Hair Masque
Last, but absolutely not least, is your salon treatment-in-a-bottle—with 89.70 percent of Ipsters giving 4-5 stars. Too much time with hot tools or DIY bleaching? This nourishing treatment helps nix frizz, strengthen hair, extend color, and repair split ends thanks to nourishing Marula Oil and Horsetail Extract.
“OH. MY. GAWD. I cannot praise this enough! My hair has endured all kinds of damage over the years and hair masks are always an essential. I absolutely love this; the smell alone is to die for,” writes Ipster kcarpenter24.
