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 October Glam Bag Plus.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

HAUS LABORATORIES Le Riot Lip Gloss in Scream MobileHAUS LABORATORIES Le Riot Lip Gloss in Scream Desktop

1. Choice: HAUS LABORATORIES Le Riot Lip Gloss in Scream

“Could there be a more aptly-named shade than ‘Scream’ for October? My fave lip glosses of all time are back with the most fall-perfect colors this time. I’m totally vibing on this vampy, burgundy wine hue that is just the right amount of dramatic. It glides on so smooth, keeps my lips hydrated, and lasts so long unlike most glosses.”

CIATÉ LONDON Extraordinary Translucent Powder MobileCIATÉ LONDON Extraordinary Translucent Powder Desktop

2. Choice: CIATÉ LONDON Extraordinary Translucent Powder

“Anyone else take off their masks and it’s covered in face makeup? Ugh. I’m finding it’s super important to give myself a good dusting with translucent powder (this one disappears on contact), especially around my nose, to prevent makeup meltdown.”

SUNDAY RILEY C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum MobileSUNDAY RILEY C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum Desktop

3. Add-On: SUNDAY RILEY C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum

“Best. Vitamin C. Ever. Seriously, stop looking for something better—it doesn’t exist. I truly see a difference in my glow after using this formula for a few weeks. My skin looks more even and alive thanks to its potent 15% vitamin C. A lot of C serums can be tacky and make makeup pill, but this goes on like a lightweight lotion and blends seamlessly with the rest of your skincare and makeup routine.”

Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor

VIOLET VOSS Creme Brulee Fun Sized Eyeshadow Palette MobileVIOLET VOSS Creme Brulee Fun Sized Eyeshadow Palette Desktop

1. Choice: VIOLET VOSS Creme Brulee Fun Sized Eyeshadow Palette

“If fall were an eyeshadow palette it would look like this. This mix of browns, creams, mattes, and shimmers is perfect for creating toasty eye looks all season.”

THRIVE CAUSEMETICS Brilliant Eye Brightener in Aurora MobileTHRIVE CAUSEMETICS Brilliant Eye Brightener in Aurora Desktop

2. THRIVE CAUSEMETICS Brilliant Eye Brightener in Aurora

“I love a good multitasker and this highlighting stick does it all. I use it on my lids, inner eye corners, Cupid’s bow—anywhere I need to brighten up. It’s so easy to use and the rose gold shade = gorgeous.”

SUR.MEDIC Azulene Soothing Cream MobileSUR.MEDIC Azulene Soothing Cream Desktop

3. Add-On: SUR.MEDIC Azulene Soothing Cream

“Try this before/after a day out in the cold and you’ll be hooked like me. It’s so creamy and soothing, and instantly makes your skin feel calm and hydrated. I use it anytime my skin needs a little TLC.”

Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor

TARTE tarteist™ Double Take Eyeliner MobileTARTE tarteist™ Double Take Eyeliner Desktop

1. Add-On: TARTE tarteist™ Double Take Eyeliner

“This liner is my little secret. I use the liquid tip to sketch and fill out my shape, then layer over with the pencil to get right up against my lash line—easy peasy and lasts all day. ”

DR.LIPP Lip Tint 3 Pack MobileDR.LIPP Lip Tint 3 Pack Desktop

2. DR.LIPP Lip Tint 3 Pack

“Natural flush of color? Sign me up. The gel formula isn’t sticky, so I can tap a bit onto cheeks to get a pop of color with a nice glowy sheen that matches my lips.”

FIRST AID BEAUTY FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask MobileFIRST AID BEAUTY FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask Desktop

3. Add-On: FIRST AID BEAUTY FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask

“Sometimes I overdo it with my retinol and end up with redness and irritation around my mouth (ugh!)—but a slather of this mask helps calm my angry skin.”

Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor

COMPLEX CULTURE Plush Powder Brush MobileCOMPLEX CULTURE Plush Powder Brush Desktop

1. Choice: COMPLEX CULTURE Plush Powder Brush

“You have not felt soft until you’ve felt this jumbo powder brush. It feels so nice on my skin, I find myself reaching for it for everything from bronzer, blush, and setting powder.”

DR. BRANDT SKINCARE Poredermabrasion MobileDR. BRANDT SKINCARE Poredermabrasion Desktop

2. DR. BRANDT SKINCARE Poredermabrasion

“Whenever my skin is looking meh, I know it’s time for this product. The tiny crystals in this exfoliator mimic microdermabrasion and leave my skin insanely glowy after just one use.”

/SKIN REGIMEN/ Microalgae Essence Mobile/SKIN REGIMEN/ Microalgae Essence Desktop

3. Add-On: /SKIN REGIMEN/ Microalgae Essence

“Even though it’s called an essence, I treat this as more of a lightweight moisturizer. I love how nourished and protected it makes my skin feel in the morning, and it layers perfectly under my sunscreen.”
