My Ipsy Glam Bag for November 2024 is here and the theme was Glow Off This Winter! I received a bag that can double as a party clutch and of course five beauty products including a peachy lip gloss, magnificent mascara, and more. Read on to see all of my beauty items!

Ipsy Glam Bag The bag for November is vinyl and has a snakeskin print in silver and heather and a matching wrist strap. The inside is lined with fuchsia polyester (more pink than the picture I see on my computer screen) and this bag could double as a small purse during the celebratory season ahead!
Marc Anthony Repair Bond Leave-In Conditioner ($0.87) If your hair is already suffering the effects of static, heaters, or hats (or maybe still needs help from summer fun), then here’s a leave-in conditioner that smells a little like beachy coconut. It’s supposed to repair hair but also protect it from future assaults from heat, pollution, or chemicals. It’s on the thicker side so I sprayed a little into my hands, rubbed them together, and then distributed it through the ends of my hair (avoiding my sensitive scalp as much as I could). The comb went through my hair easily and afterwards I applied my usual styling product and blew my hair dry. It didn’t weigh my hair down and I didn’t have any static flyaways either.
Saturday Skin Carrot + Niacinamide Moisturizing Cream ($7.20) The first ingredient I look for in skincare is fragrance, and I didn’t spy it in this rich moisturizer and so maybe I did a little happy dance because of it (I’m not a fan of perfume in face or hair products). It seems like a good product for dry skin and it left my skin feeling soothed after I applied it in the morning. It worked well as a base for makeup too! It has ingredients like carrot extract (an antioxidant), niacinamide (to improve skin tone), ceramides (so nourishing for the skin), and cica (to reduce inflammation). Again, there was no scent that I could detect, and I would buy this product in the future!
Goldfaden MD Eye Defy Radiance Restoring Eye Treatment ($28) $28 for this tiny tube? Well, I guess a little goes a long way. This fragrance-free cream is supposed to help fine lines and wrinkles look less noticeable, plump up the under-eye area, and nourish the delicate skin there. It should be applied before bed and some of the ingredients are argan oil, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid plus peptides. The full-sized version of this product comes with a ceramic-tipped applicator which probably helps further cool the skin and reduce puffiness, but I just gently patted the product into my skin. It has a light scent but thankfully no added perfume.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Crystal Lip Gloss ($12.92 value) I had to double check to make sure this wasn’t a brow gel but no, it’s a glossy topper meant for the lips. It can be worn alone, with liner, or with lipstick and it has a peachy scent that makes me think of summer, even though it’s cool outside right now. It’s not super sticky but maybe skip it on a blustery day if you have long hair, but otherwise this one makes lips look shiny and pouty.
Huda Beauty 1 Coat Wow! Mascara in Very Vanta ($13) I’m not one to go crazy over mascara but this one deserves its name! I applied one coat and compared it to the other blank side and yes, with only one coat my lashes were thicker, longer, and somehow it looked like I had more of them than usual, what’s up with that? I’m sold! Make sure to move the wand around, it’s dual-sided, for the best impact.
One thing I appreciate about my Ipsy Glam Bag products is that they are perfectly portable! I don’t travel often but when I do, I love having travel-friendly makeup and beauty items so I don’t have to haul huge bottles for a short trip. I also have to say I love to try before I buy, and the Huda Beauty 1 Coat WOW mascara lived up to its name, I would buy that in the future because it really made my sparse, short lashes look way better. I also liked the peachy ABH Crystal Lip Gloss, the flavor/scent reminded me of summer and it made my lips look bigger, no small feat. While the Marc Anthony leave-in spray isn’t something I would use again, I look forward to finishing up the Goldfaden MD eye cream and the Saturday Skin moisturizer, they both worked well for my dry skin type. The value for my products was around $62!
