My Favorite Products from IPSY
Over the summer, I decided I needed to revamp my makeup game. I ventured into Ulta and Sephora a few times, realized I didn’t even know where to begin, and headed home, defeated. I figured I’d follow influencers, watch youtube tutorials, and scout out different kits and deals. After several failed attempts and the realization that I was too lazy to pursue a passion for makeup, I finally stumbled upon Ipsy: a cheap bag of personalized makeup sent to me every month. I was instantly sold. I tried out the Glam Bag subscription over the summer and compiled all of my favorite products here for your glamour-journey convenience.
Georganic From Nature - Propolis Clear Peeling Pad
These exfoliating cleansing pads are made to pull away dead skin cells while also hydrating and soothing the skin, resulting in a more effortless skincare routine. My skin felt brighter and lighter after even a few uses, and I found myself disappointed when I ran out. Perfect for anyone looking for an easy route to brighter, lighter skin.
HOW TO USE: After cleansing both in the morning and before bed, wipe your face with a pad and let your skin naturally glow in its healthiest form.

Context Skin - Nail Lacquer in Body Talk
As a nail-biter, I’m constantly doing at-home manicures. My bag of nail-polishes is bursting at the seams, and I’m regularly searching for the hottest colors of the season. This Body Talk by Context is one of my favorites because it’s a rich, shiny neutral that fits for any time of the year. It’s a nail lacquer, meaning it’s thicker and more durable than polish, leading to a no-chip, long lasting mani.
HOW TO USE: Brush evenly onto each nail, wait until dry, apply a second coat.

Erborian CC Cream Radiance Color Corrector Broad Spectrum
I have always despised the feeling of heavy foundation and oily layers of concealer, so stumbling upon CC Creams was my saving grace. I keep this pocket-sized cream in my purse for touch-ups on nights out because it’s made for people like me: looking for the simplest but most effective product. I love that this CC cream is lightweight, protective, and seamless, and I hope it changes your life just as much as it did mine!
HOW TO USE: Use a sparing amount onto your face and blend with either fingers or a beauty blender.

Sweet Chef - Oat Milk Latte Cleanser
This deliciously-moisturizing cleanser was the ideal way to start and end my day. Made with ingredients like coffee seed, oat milk, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B-12, I felt refreshed and relaxed after every use. The oat-milk latte cleanser removes makeup and impurities while cleansing, making for an easy, all-in-one skincare routine. And you can’t beat a cleanser that smells as sweet as it feels.

HOW TO USE: Apply about 2 drops to wet palms and lather until suds, then rub onto face, starting with oilier areas.
Origins Clear Improvement - Active Charcoal Mask
After what feels like centuries of searching for the best face masks, I had the Holy Grail delivered to my doorstep. This mixture of white china clay and bamboo charcoal works to unclog pores and clear impurities while also deep cleaning. My skin is always left baby-smooth and radiant after every use, whether I’m in need of some self care or just primping myself before bed.
HOW TO USE: Layer onto skin in medium, even layer. Wash off after 15-20 minutes or when hardened.

Pixi Beauty - LipLift Max in Peony Bloom
There is no better feeling than the tingling sensation of a lip plumper at work. LipLift Max is my favorite I’ve found so far, leaving a colorful gloss as well as a smooth, full lip. It’s filled with jojoba oil and chamomile extract to hydrate and enhance lips, leaving you ready for any occasion, whether it be a night on the town or a day running errands. This gloss is anyone’s best friend.
HOW TO USE: Wear on its own or over any lip color for a fuller effect.
