Southern Mom Loves: Icon Box by IPSY August 2023 Unboxing + All August Products!

Icon Box by IPSY August 2023 Unboxing + All August Products!

Monday, August 21, 2023

I received a complimentary Icon Box from IPSY. All opinions are my own. This post may contain some affiliate links. 


Hey, all! I've got the quarterly upgrade IPSY Icon Box for August 2023 to unbox for you and this one is curated by actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens. I'll tell you a little about Icon Box, all of the products that could come in this season's box, plus what I got in mine. Let's get unboxing!



Icon Box is a seasonal (4 times a year) upgrade to your regular Glam Bag or Boxycharm, so it will replace your bag or box every three months. 

It contains 8 full-sized products worth up to $350 specially curated by beauty’s biggest tastemakers and celebs, and you get to choose three from a personalized assortment, which includes exclusive product drops you won’t find anywhere else. 


Just like the previous Glam Bag X, Icon Box will be curated by a different celebrity each season. This season's curator is Vanessa Hudgens.


Beauty is everywhere you look—and with her August Icon Box collab, Vanessa Hudgens is here to help you find it. “I find beauty in the plants and old books I collect to decorate my house, the red lips and faux freckles I wear to hone my beauty aesthetic, and the fragrant peonies I smell on my morning walks with Darla,” she says. “My goal for this Icon Box is to help you find the magic in everyday life, too.”

Tag along as the actress and singer shows you she’s refined her keen eye for style and taste. Whether she’s designing her home or honing her beauty aesthetic, her Icon Box collection will inspire you to live life well—curated.

Check out all of my IPSY unboxings so far here.

ALL August 2023 Products

I like to share everything that could come in your box. Like most beauty boxes, you will complete quizzes and compile a profile for yourself when you join; That will determine the items that IPSY will choose for your box, and not all boxes will look like mine. 

This is everything that could come in an Icon Box this month.

That was the August 2023 Icon Box by IPSY. I always love getting the super-packed Icon Box and this one had some majorly good products to try.

I've been working on getting my brittle hair in better shape so I'll try that Amika the Kure asap. I'll try the Slather on the KP on my arms (fingers crossed!!!) and I'll be swapping in the daily peel + Neiroli moisturizer, too. 

Although browns aren't my favorite colors, I'm excited to get this Natasha Denona cheek palette (love me some ND!) and the lippie actually looks gorgeous on their pale model so I'll give it a try. Round it out with mega lashes by Huda and I've got a whole new look. Love it!

My Icon Box was worth $310; You just can't beat it for the value!
