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 January 2021 Glam Bag Plus.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

COMPLEX CULTURE POWER POSE Lip Gloss in Clear MobileCOMPLEX CULTURE POWER POSE Lip Gloss in Clear Desktop

1. COMPLEX CULTURE POWER POSE Lip Gloss in Clear

“If you’ve been getting out of bed and putting on a bold lip for your coworkers via Zoom—I salute you. The most I can do is swipe on a gloss for mine. This is my new go-to. It’s hydrating and not sticky and makes me look a little more pulled together.”

ARACELI BEAUTY Ojos Perfectos Gel Pencil Eyeliner Dúo + Cosmética Sharpener in Chocolate/Chocolate and Cinnamon/Canela MobileARACELI BEAUTY Ojos Perfectos Gel Pencil Eyeliner Dúo + Cosmética Sharpener in Chocolate/Chocolate and Cinnamon/Canela Desktop

2. ARACELI BEAUTY Ojos Perfectos Gel Pencil Eyeliner Dúo + Cosmética Sharpener in Chocolate/Chocolate + Cinnamon/Canela

“This duo has made me fall in love with liner again. I love the dark brown Chocolate shade for subtly enhancing my lash line and I’ve been having fun creating wings with the shimmery Cinnamon shade. It glides on so so smooth and lasts all day long.”

KATE SOMERVILLE® EradiKate® Daily Foaming Cleanser MobileKATE SOMERVILLE® EradiKate® Daily Foaming Cleanser Desktop

3. KATE SOMERVILLE® EradiKate® Daily Foaming Cleanser

“Maskne is so real. In addition to all the spot treatments and serums, I’m reaching for this sulfur-spiked cleanser to help me clear up the breakouts that just won't quit along my jawline and cheeks.”

Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor

HUDA BEAUTY Obsessions Palette in Mauve MobileHUDA BEAUTY Obsessions Palette in Mauve Desktop

1. HUDA BEAUTY Obsessions Palette in Mauve

“Nothing lifts my spirits (and breaks my quarantine boredom) like adding a little flair to my makeup looks. Gold is my everyday eyeshadow color—it just works with my skin tone—and I always amp it up with a little hit of rose or plum from this palette. The colors are so pigmented and so so fun.”

FLORENCE BY MILLS Mind Glowing Peel Off Mask MobileFLORENCE BY MILLS Mind Glowing Peel Off Mask Desktop

2. FLORENCE BY MILLS Mind Glowing Peel Off Mask

“This super cute purple mask takes me back to the fun, bright masks I loved as a teen—except it actually makes my skin glow. Charcoal gets my pores clean, and lavender oil helps balance and calm my super dry skin—and it’s so satisfying to peel off.”

RAW SUGAR LIVING Mini Hand Sanitizer in Watermelon + Aloe Vera MobileRAW SUGAR LIVING Mini Hand Sanitizer in Watermelon + Aloe Vera Desktop

3. RAW SUGAR Mini Hand Sanitizer - Watermelon + Aloe Vera

“I’ve lost track of how many times a day I use hand sani lately—one thing I do know is that my hands are craving moisture like never before. Not only does this smell heavenly (not chemically like some formulas), it keeps my hands feeling so comfy and soft that I barely need lotion after.”

Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor

GOLDFADEN MD Mist RX Daily Nutrient Facial Mist MobileGOLDFADEN MD Mist RX Daily Nutrient Facial Mist Desktop

1. GOLDFADEN MD Mist Rx Daily Nutrient Facial Mist

“Mists are like the whipped cream of your skincare routine—a little extra, but it feels good. This ultra-fine mist (read: not like a squirt gun to the eye) is the perfect first step after cleansing. It adds a boost of nourishment, helps my serum absorb a little easier, and feels so refreshing”

GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Lip Pop MobileGLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Lip Pop Desktop

2. GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Lip Pop

“An all-in-one lip product to save my chapped winter lips in one step? Let me tell you, this one’s a game changer. The gentle exfoliation keeps dead skin at bay and helps the moisturizing ingredients do their jobs. Plus, the pink tint gives a your-lips-but-better effect.”

KITSCH Satin Sleep Set - Ivory MobileKITSCH Satin Sleep Set - Ivory Desktop

3. KITSCH Satin Sleep Set - Ivory

“In addition to my noise machine, these pillowcases have taken my beauty sleep game up several notches. Because they’re made from satin (aka less friction), my baby fine hair isn’t prone to the tangles, knots, and dents I usually have after a night’s sleep on cotton.”

Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor

WANDER BEAUTY Lip Retreat Oil in Oasis MobileWANDER BEAUTY Lip Retreat Oil in Oasis Desktop

1. WANDER BEAUTY Lip Retreat Oil in Oasis

“To put it simply, I’m OBSESSED! I find myself reaching for it every 20 minutes to swipe on some more (even though the hydrating powers last ages). And can we talk about that shine?! Again, obsessed!”

ITEM BEAUTY Air Hug Concealer MobileITEM BEAUTY Air Hug Concealer Desktop

2. ITEM BEAUTY Air Hug Concealer

“I’ve found the unicorn of concealer! This baby somehow manages to deliver enough coverage to hide my breakouts and dark circles all while feeling totally weightless and looking natural. It’s the ultimate no-makeup makeup staple in my routine.”

VIOLET VOSS Single Eyeshadow in Magic Hour MobileVIOLET VOSS Single Eyeshadow in Magic Hour Desktop

3. VIOLET VOSS Single Eyeshadow in Magic Hour

“I’ve mastered brow pencil, can do a mean cat eye, but one thing I still haven’t gotten the hang of is eyeshadow. To get the look minus the intricate blending and color pairing, I like to add a wash of a shimmery shadow across my entire lid. My go-to as of late: this warm gold from VIOLET VOSS. I get tons of dimension without the work.”
