Now, on to the items!

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Original Sheen Intense Eye Shadow Palette in Last Friyay – Retail Value $35

Usually, So Susan’s full-size palettes are on the small side compared to other makeup brands, but not this time!

The shades live up to the Intense name – the pigment and shimmer on these are fantastic.

Since this is a 100% shimmer palette, you’ll probably need to mix it with mattes from another palette. (Or be far more daring than I am when it comes to eye looks!)

So Susan Cosmetics Muse Highlighting Drops in Platinum – Retail Value $35

This is a highly pigmented and shimmery liquid highlighter that blends out beautifully. (You could also mix a drop of this in with your liquid foundation if you want more of a glowy finish.)

But, I don’t know why So Susan has sent a liquid highlighter for 3 months in a row now – we can only glow so much every day! 🙂

My only issue with this is the applicator. The formula is too thick for a dropper. This really should have been in a squeezable tube.

Here it is swatched beneath the eye shadow palette:

That is one shimmery arm!

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Jelly Puff – Retail Value $8.99

This is pretty much identical to the MakeupDrop silicone applicator – and for less than half the price!

Typically, I use a beauty blender or a stippling brush to apply liquid foundation. This silicone applicator gets the same flawless application look of the beauty blender, but it has additional benefits:

1. No foundation absorbing into it! With a Beauty Blender or brush, I’m always losing some foundation to the tool itself, but this silicone isn’t porous, so all makeup goes on your skin!
2. Super easy cleanup! Just soap, water, and towel it off and it’s good to go! No waiting for beauty blenders/brushes to dry!

Trifle Cosmetics Sugar Bunny Heavenly Lip Scrub in Watermelon – Retail Value $17.95

So Susan sends out lip scrubs pretty often, but they smell so good I can’t complain! This sugar scrub smells exactly like watermellon gummies! The oils are very moisturizing, too.

And each So Susan Lip Love comes with a new makeup bag:

Limited Edition Makeup Bag – Value $12

As usual, I prefer the non-text side of the bag!

The bag is made of a spill-proof vinyl material with a fabric lining.

Verdict: This month’s So Susan Lip Love bag has a value of about $108.95! I think that value is fantastic for a $21 ingredient-conscious makeup subscription box.

If you are looking for a vegan, ingredient-conscious makeup subscription, I can’t recommend this one enough. The value is great, the formulas are great, and the bonus bag is always super cute!
