Rihanna at the Super Bowl. Barbenheimer. Beyoncé’s and Taylor Swift’s separate—but equally life-changing—tours. That’s only a sample of what’s gone down in 2023 so far, and the best part is, the year isn’t over yet. So let’s keep the excitement going with a look at this month’s Power Picks: superstar products or brands guaranteed in your monthly Glam Bag or BoxyCharm.

While we could go on and on about why we love November’s Power Picks, one main reason is that these products make it so easy to prioritize self-care—which is a must during the holiday season, when we’re often so busy thinking about others that we forgot about ourselves. From skincare saviors to makeup must-haves, this lineup offers you a buffet of beauty options that keep your self-care front and center. Scroll down, dig in, and check out our spoilers page once you’re ready for a second (or third) helping. 

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

November 2023 Glam Bag Power Picks Spoilers

Every month, Glam Bag subscribers are guaranteed at least one Power Pick in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a Glam Bag in November could receive one of the following Power Picks:

1. BENEFIT COSMETICS 24-HR Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel

Whether you’re the victim of overplucked eyebrows or your full eyebrows always seem to need a trim, this long-lasting gel can help you achieve the brows of your dreams. It features a custom-molded, dual-sided wand that quickly deposits a flexible-hold formula from root to tip—shaping, sculpting, and taming brows for up to 24 hours at a time, no matter how much hair you have.

2. TARTE™ Tartlette™ Tubing Mascara

Even for those of us considered “experienced” in the makeup department, tubing mascaras still blow our mind. Haven’t used one yet? Listen up: Tubing mascaras lengthen the look of your lashes by forming a—you guessed it—tube around each hair. They also resist smearing, smudging, or running, so you enjoy the benefits of a traditional mascara without the downsides. As far as tubing mascaras go, this vegan option from TARTE™ is top of the line. Your natural lashes will look like extensions after just two coats.

3. CIATÉ LONDON Watermelon Burst Setting Powder

Some setting powders seem to suck all the moisture out of your complexion. But not this one. It’s formulated with watermelon extract, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E (all major hydrators!) to keep your complexion looking quenched. It also has a slight shimmer that adds dimension to your face without overdoing it.

4. ORIGINS Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash

November’s all about counting your blessings—including the fact that this best-selling ORIGINS’ best-selling face is coming to Power Picks. This frothy face wash ranks as a favorite formula for many skincare aficionados, not just because it easily rinses away impurities and makeup, but also because it leaves your skin feeling comfortably clean while it purifies.

5. HUDA BEAUTY Liquid Matte Ultra-Comfort Transfer-Proof Lipstick in First Class

We know what you’re thinking—matte, comfortable, and transfer-proof? Yep, it’s possible, and we expected nothing less from HUDA BEAUTY. This rich pink-brown shade only needs one swipe across your lips to coat them in up to eight hours of comfortable coverage. You can even count on this formula not to streak, smudge, or transfer (so you’ll be reaching for it on the daily, trust).

November 2023 BoxyCharm by IPSY Power Picks Spoilers

Every month, BoxyCharm subscribers will get two Power Picks in their five-product assortment. Members who signed up for a BoxyCharm in November could receive the following:

1. OSEA Ocean Eyes Serum

If you’re playing host this holiday season, then you know that the struggle. Is. Real. From coordinating family members to cleaning up your space, there’s plenty to keep you busy—and keep you awake at night. That’s why we love this hydrating eye serum that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness with seaweed, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. It also has a cooling roller ball applicator to instantly refresh your skin (pro tip: keep it in the fridge when not in use to help depuff even more).

2. L'OCCITANE Shea Light Comforting Face Cream

This non-comedogenic face moisturizer is exactly what we need as we head into colder weather. Lightweight but luxurious, this formula brings instant hydration with nourishing shea butter. Dab it over your face and then gently sweep over the skin for a blanket of comfort that lasts throughout the day. 

3. ALAMAR COSMETICS Destino Eyeshadow Palette

With shades names like Un Sueño, Sol, Tierra, and Estrella, this palette is inspired by the journey to self-discovery (which is kind of our thing here at IPSY!), so it’s safe to say we’re obsessed. This curated palette includes 10 buttery-smooth shadows in a variety of finishes, including a shimmery cobalt blue, a rich matte brown, a super-opaque soft coral, and more. 

4. GIRLACTIK Lash Play Duo Mascara

Long lashes? Flawless finish? Get you a mascara who can do both! This dual-ended mascara features one end for lengthening and one end for detailing, so you can achieve extra-long lashes without any smudging or clumping. This will be the mascara you reach for all season long so your makeup looks snatched in all your holiday photos.

5. TOYFACTORY Sidekick One Multipalette

Meet the new sidekick in your makeup kit. This contour and highlighter palette has an array of neutral shades to help sculpt, define, and highlight your features—and they’re all formulated with squalane so they nourish your skin at the same time.
