Fangs out, lipstick on—we’re bringing the glitz, glamour, and ghoulish behaviour to October. Whether you’re planning to stay in and turn on a spooky flick or make up for a lackluster 2020 Halloween and turn this year’s event into a month-long extravaganza, October’s design will bring out your supernatural spirit.

Curious about our design process? IPSY’s bag designer Joanne Wong is getting into the inspo, the details, and why October’s Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus designs will put a spell on you.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

October 2021 Glam Bag

Pops of neon green on a jet black background, embossed vampy lip designs, textured faux leather...October’s Glam Bag is a whole Halloween vibe. By embracing a black lipstick design, Wong aims to encourage Ipsters to step out of their comfort zone and try something new—like a dramatic wing or swipe of unexpected color. After all, sometimes the smallest touches can make the biggest difference.

And for Wong, every detail is accounted for. “My favorite part of the bag is the zipper puller—it's so unique! The long, lipstick-shaped puller helps to open and close the bag easily,” she tells us. And in case you need another reason to love this bag, it also happens to be the perfect size for stashing a few snack-size candy bars. Just saying...

Big plans? October’s Glam Bag Plus pouch is your match. If you’re the type to go all out—fake blood, special effects kits, multiple costumes—this handy accessory will keep you organized for every party. Wong’s tip? “You can use this drawstring bag to separate your seasonal or Halloween makeup from your daily makeup.” Plus, you won’t have to worry about on-the-go touch ups. The shockingly neon green drawstrings make it easy to spot in your tote and the black microfiber pouch will shield your bag from any glitter spillage.

Just like it holds your full-size products with ease, it’ll hold those full-size sweet treats, too. That’s what we call a win-win.
