October 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 October could receive one of the following Power Picks:

1. CIATÉ LONDON Fruit Burst Lip Oil in Mango & Lime

If you’re already a fan of lip oils, you know that they’re a serious treat for your lips. Nourishing like a lip balm but shiny like a gloss, lip oils seem to give you the best of both worlds. This member-fave CIATÉ LONDON Fruit Burst Lip Oil includes a blend of mango seed butter, lime oil, jojoba seed oil, and more, so it nurtures your lips with antioxidants and essential fatty acids while creating a drenched, glossy effect.

2. KAT BURKI Dual Exfoliating Clay Mask

Now you don’t have to choose between a chemical exfoliant or a physical one: This powerful clay mask from KAT BURKI taps into the power of both. It physically exfoliates with the help of cranberry fibers and hibiscus petals, chemically exfoliates with glycolic acid and encapsulated retinol, and even helps absorb excess oil and refine pores with kaolin clay. The full-size version also retails for a whopping $98.

3. CIATÉ LONDON Extraordinary BB Cream

Fall is typically associated with full-coverage foundation, dark lips, and smoky eyes, but there are no rules against embracing a lighter makeup look for the season. So if a more minimal makeup look is in the air, this BB cream from CIATÉ LONDON is where you want to start. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamins B3 and B5, and vitamin E, this skincare-makeup hybrid soothes your skin while offering natural, your-skin-but-better coverage.

4. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Lash Sculpt Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara

We heard you loud and clear: You can’t get enough ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS. Well, same—and we think you’re going to love this mascara coming to October’s Power Picks. This formula gives you that coveted lash-extension look without the price tag or the maintenance.

5. DR. BRANDT SKINCARE Pore Purifying Cleanser

Pores. Hate ’em, love ’em, we all have them, so we might as well treat them right. And in our opinion, one of the best ways to do so is with this purifying cleanser from DR. BRANDT SKINCARE. Developed for oily and combo skin, this deep-cleansing formula removes residue and dead skin while helping to eliminate excess sebum and decongest pores, leaving you with a noticeably mattified, clear complexion (and squeaky-clean pores!).

October 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 October could receive the following:

1. ICONIC LONDON Thriving & Shining Eyeshadow Palette

A universally flattering palette like this one is basically foolproof—no matter which of the 20 silky-smooth shades you dip into, you’re sure to create an eye look worthy of a selfie (or two…or five!). But if you want to approach your eyeshadow like a pro, there is a specific way to use eyeshadows palettes, and we even have a how-to guide for you. Give it a read so you can be prepared in case this luxe palette ends up being one of your Power Picks this month.

2. GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment

We swoon over this cult-fave night treatment from GLOW RECIPE every time we use it. It resets your skin overnight with a 2.5% pH-balanced AHA complex that exfoliates without irritation, and helps hydrate, brighten, and firm with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and watermelon enzymes, so you wake up to smooth, even-toned skin by morning.

3. OFRA COSMETICS Bienvenidos a Miami Palette

Inspired by the art deco and neons that fill Miami, this full-face palette contains two highlighters, two bronzers, and two blushes that bring color and dimension to your makeup looks. The highlighters feature OFRA COSMETICS’ beloved liquid-to-baked formulas, while the bronzers and blushes are ultra pigmented, so you only need a light hand when applying.

4. OLEHENRIKSEN Truth Juice Daily Cleanser
