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 a few months ago 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 February 2021 Glam Bag Plus.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream in Cactus Pink Pepper MobileAHAVA Mineral Hand Cream in Cactus Pink Pepper Desktop

1. AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream

“Anyone else’s hands a total wreck these days? Between the constant washing and drying sanitizer I am scale city. That’s why I’m loving this AHAVA cream. It’s infused with nourishing minerals from the Dead Sea to really hydrate and soothe.”

GOLDFADEN MD Vital Boost Even Skintone Daily Moisturizer MobileGOLDFADEN MD Vital Boost Even Skintone Daily Moisturizer Desktop

2. GOLDFADEN MD Vital Boost Even Skintone Daily Moisturizer

“I am truly obsessed with all of the brightening products from GOLDFADEN MD from their serum to their eye cream. This daily moisturizer is no exception. It’s got gooseberries rich in vitamin C to help with my dark spots and hyaluronic acid to help keep my skin plump.”

KINSHIP Pimple Potion MobileKINSHIP Pimple Potion Desktop

3. KINSHIP Pimple Potion

“Stress, masks, the state of the world—ev-er-y-thing is contributing to my breakouts right now. Enter this salicylic acid spot treatment from clean and sustainable brand KINSHIP to help zap them all away.”

Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor

MISCHO BEAUTY Nail Lacquer Duo in Manicured & Angel MobileMISCHO BEAUTY Nail Lacquer Duo in Manicured & Angel Desktop

1. MISCHO BEAUTY Nail Lacquer Duo in Manicured & Angel

“Still desperately missing my manicurist, but MISCHO’s polishes have made it a little less painful. I love a pretty rose mani for every day, and these are perf for DIY nail art (my skills are limited to dots and stripes, tbh). This set has two gorgeous rosy hues that look so luxe, plus they’re clean and cruelty-free.”

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Resist Color Pencil Eyeliner in 01 Graphite MobileMAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Resist Color Pencil Eyeliner in 01 Graphite Desktop

2. MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Resist Color Pencil Eyeliner in 01 Graphite

“Eyeliner is one product I cannot go without, but since I’ve been spending so much time at home, I’ve opted for more subtle eye looks. This liner is amazing for tightlining to give my eyes definition, and easy to build up for more drama. It’s so smooth so it glides on easily and seriously does not budge.”

COMPLEX CULTURE Full Time Eyeshadow Palette - The Party Edit MobileCOMPLEX CULTURE Full Time Eyeshadow Palette - The Party Edit Desktop

3. COMPLEX CULTURE Full Time Eyeshadow Palette - The Party Edit

“I believe you can never have too many eye palettes (my makeup drawer would confirm it), but this one palette will give you so many options. It’s got 9 shades grouped into 3 looks that make creating your eye looks super easy, but feel free to mix and match. Every shade is so pretty and pigmented, it’s def a keeper.”

Hannah Cassidy, Senior Beauty Editor

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Luminous Foundation MobileANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Luminous Foundation Desktop

1. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Luminous Foundation

“Thanks to the era of never leaving the house, I’ve developed a somewhat complicated relationship to foundation—aka everything other than tinted moisturizer feels heavy and cakey. But this foundation changed the game. It’s lightweight (feels so natural!), looks like my skin (but better, obvs), and is hands-down my new holy grail.”

DR. BRANDT SKINCARE HYDRO BIOTIC™ Recovery Sleeping Mask MobileDR. BRANDT SKINCARE HYDRO BIOTIC™ Recovery Sleeping Mask Desktop

2. DR. BRANDT SKINCARE HYDRO BIOTIC™ Recovery Sleeping Mask

“Now that dry winter air (and a few too many exfoliators) have set in, repairing my skin’s protective barrier has been a major focus. The silky smooth texture and ceramide-peptide combo in this mask are absolute heaven for my sensitive skin. Any time I see redness and irritation creeping in, I swap out my p.m. moisturizer for a pea-sized amount of this mask—by morning I’m already back to normal.”

BEAUTYBLENDER Liquid BlenderCleanser MobileBEAUTYBLENDER Liquid BlenderCleanser Desktop

3. BEAUTYBLENDER Liquid BlenderCleanser

“Washing my brushes and blenders is a dreaded chore that’s right up there with doing my laundry. My solution? A product that actually gets me excited to wash my brushes. I love that I don’t have to worry about harsh ingredients and watching all of that old makeup circle the drain is insanely satisfying.”

Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor

about-face Matte Fluid Eye Paint in Dionysus Mobileabout-face Matte Fluid Eye Paint in Dionysus Desktop

1. about-face Matte Fluid Eye Paint in Dionysus

“This orchid-colored liquid shadow goes against all my neutral makeup inclinations, but the color is so pretty that I continue to make exceptions. My favorite way to wear it: Dot it all over my lid, then buff out with a fluffy shadow brush for a soft, flattering wash of color.”

BEAUTYSTAT Universal C Skin Refiner MobileBEAUTYSTAT Universal C Skin Refiner Desktop

2. BEAUTYSTAT Universal C Skin Refiner

“I’ll be the first to admit that my skincare routine is not exactly ‘low-maintenance,’ but if I had to give up all my lotions and potions and pare it all down to a single treatment product, this vitamin C serum would be it. Not only is it from a brand started by a cosmetic chemist (so you know this stuff actually works!), but it also feels so smooth on my face, and I swear I already see a brighter complexion after just a few weeks.”

BENEFIT COSMETICS Lovetint Lip & Cheek Stain MobileBENEFIT COSMETICS Lovetint Lip & Cheek Stain Desktop

3. BENEFIT COSMETICS Lovetint Lip & Cheek Stain

“If you’re noticing a trend after my about-face pick, then yes, I am on a liquid makeup kick lately! I love the sheer color they give and how liquid makeup just looks like skin. One of my other obsessions besides the eyeshadow above is this liquid lip and cheek stain. Don’t let the red color scare you! You can make it as sheer and subtle as you want by adding just a couple dots to your cheeks (which is what I do), or you can pump up the color with another layer or two.”
