August’s Top 10 Products—Rated and Ipster-Approved

Top Rated Products From August 2021 Glam Bag

1. GLOW RECIPE Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask

Taking first place for top-rated August Glam Bag product is the secret for puffy, tired under eyes. With 20,895 Ipster testaments and a 92.10 percent rating of 4-5 hearts, this creamy eye mask is loaded with nourishing avocados, encapsulated retinol, and antioxidant-rich coffeeberry, to help smooth, brighten, and depuff.

“This eye cream is amazing. I've had puffy circles and bags under my eyes since I was 12yrs old. Thank you genetics. Think it's the only thing I have used is that I could see a visible difference in my under eyes. Of course now I can't live without it and will be purchasing the full size,” writes Ipster donnacanfield531.

2. SOPHIA + MABELLE Lip Slick Hydration Lip Oil

With cold temps around the corner, our lips need all the hydration they can get. This hydrating oil features a conditioning formula that nips dryness in the bud and leaves your pout plump—with a cute sheer pink tint, too. It ranked at a close second with a 91.70 percent score from 36,737(!!) Ipsters like dearkittykaos, who wrote in: “I was SO sad when I ran out of this lip oil. Used it all day every day until it was gone. Cute bottle, cute colour, worked great and made me feel great.”

3. MARC ANTHONY Super Fast Strength Leave-in Conditioner

This brand is no stranger to our top-rated product lists. MARC ANTHONY’s products are consistently loved by Ipsters and this leave-in conditioner continued the trend with its 89.40 grade and 19,818 Ipster reviews. It’s made with vitamin E, ginseng, and caffeine to strengthen, moisturize, and smooth all hair types. Buh-bye split ends, frizz, and annoying tangles!

“SO impressed by this leave in conditioner, I've never used one before but after trying this I may have to make it part of my hair care. The first time I used it my hair instantly looked shinier and felt softer than before plus it really does detangle the hair,” Ipster nataliaxrmz reports.

4. PIXI BEAUTY Fresh Face Blush

It’s not just any blush...with an 86.80 percent rating from 6,767 Ipsters, it’s *the* blush.. This light-diffusing, matte mauve powder gives a blendable, buildable flush that keeps skin soft, smooth, and hydrated—oh, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. “I like this blush, it is very subtle on me and easy to apply and forgiving. Doesn’t look overdone or too fake on my lightly tanned pale skin. Very sheer and pretty,” says Ipster Adrifandi80.

5. BEAUTY FOR REAL 24-7 Gel Eyeliner

Rounding out our top five is the most-loved eyeliner in August—taking home an 85.70 percent rating of 4-5 hearts from 16,927 Ipsters. The rich gel formula is super pigmented, waterproof, and lasts all day long without smearing or smudging.

The best part according to Ipster melanieschnipke? The unique and versatile shade. “There is just a hint of shimmer or glitter that almost makes this liner look just slightly metallic in the right light. But it gives you that confident and bold black line. It goes on very smooth and lasts all day.”

Top Rated Products From August 2021 Glam Bag Plus

6. VITABRID C12 Daily-C Balancing Foam Cleanser

In the top spot for full-sized products from August’s Glam Bag Plus assortment is a gentle (yet seriously effective) cleanser. A whopping 21,286 Ipsters fell in love, giving it an impressive 93.60 percent score! This powerhouse cleanser features a blend of Vitabrid CG (the brand’s proprietary stable vitamin C) and kaolin clay that give your skin a deep clean without stripping away the much-needed moisture.

“My skin is so sensitive to skin care, especially face washes. This does an amazing job and I didn’t break out once! (Which is huge for someone who struggled with cystic acne),” writes Ipster lrau32.

7. MURAD Sensitive Skin Soothing Serum

Is your post-summer skin in need of some rehab? Prone to breakouts, redness, or irritation? Your holy grail (with a 92.40 percent rating from 9,902 Ipsters) is here. This soothing serum is ideal for sensitive, stressed-out, or sunburned skin and uses calming chamomile extract and hyaluronic acid to reduce inflammation and help restore moisture levels.

“I love Murad!! This is my new holy grail serum. My sensitive skin is so easily reddened/irritated. This has no scent and immediately calmed my skin. I do have to use a thin layer before makeup otherwise it will pill up,” Ipster ThatRadBlondie tells us.

8. CLARITYRX Get Balanced Probiotic Serum

Proof that bacteria on your skin can be a *good* thing. Taking in a score of 91.20 percent from 9,919 Ipsters, this serum sinks into skin to deliver powerhouse ingredients like probiotics (the helpful kind of bacteria!), hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants for a dewy, radiant glow.

“This has become my favorite serum!! It goes on like silk, after less than three days of use my skin is noticeably different, it’s brighter and more even and toned. I absolutely adore this product and wish it was an endless bottle,” says Ipster aeheacock.

9. COMPLEX CULTURE Cheek Chiseler Blush Brush

If you’ve ever received a COMPLEX CULTURE brush, you won’t be surprised to see this newcomer to the top rated list. Yep, they’re that good—and a total of 9,171 Ipsters awarded this game changer with a 90.80 percent rating. What’s so special? The oval shaped, angled bristles that are specifically designed to hug the contours of your cheekbones for a flawless application, every time.

“This brush is extremely soft and it picks up the pigment really well. I also really like how the brand is both vegan and cruelty free,” Ipster 23sotelles raves.

10. TARTE™ lights, camera, lashes™ 4-in-1 mascara

We. Love. Mascaras. This 4-in-1 mascara from TARTE took home a 90.70 percent rating in August and it’s safe to say that Ipsters were impressed. It’s lengthening, curling, volumizing, conditioning, and gives lashes a dramatic thick, sexy effect. Plus, it lasts for a full 24 hours without smudging or flaking too.

Ipster justinekcampbell echoes this sentiment in their testimonial: “This is my favorite mascara I've received from Ipsy. I love the easy and clean application you get with the thin applicator brush. Plus, great color and no smearing,”
