July 2019 So Susan Color Curate Review
Included this month is an info card with a list of all of the included products. It looks like this bag has a listed value of $115.00!
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 Limited-Edition Makeup Bag July 2019Β Β – Retail Value $12.00 This cute Frenchie is riding a skateboard across this bag and it is SO cute!
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Diamond Twinkle Angled Contour BrushΒ – Retail Value $34.00 This brush is really long. From tip to tip it is around 8.5 inches, which is far too long for my makeup bag, so this will be a vanity-only brush. I do quite love the super fluffy brush head and thought it added a very soft finish to my translucent powder.
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Nebula in “Milky Way”, 4 g – Retail Value $22.00 This eyeshadow has a spongy cream texture that is really interesting. I was actually a little unimpressed when I used it with a brush because I thought there would be more shimmer and payoff. I then wet my brush a little and WOW did that make a difference in coverage and radiance. It was a perfect brow bone color on my lid and was smooth as silk. You could easily use this for a highlighter too!
1 of 4 2 of 4 3 of 4 4 of 4 So Susan Cosmetics Halo on High in “Flashback”, 4 g – Retail Value $25.00 These highlighters have made a few appearances in this sub recently: a single in May, another single in MarchΒ and a quad in February. Surely I have all of them by now? At least this month’s shade is a pretty smoked plum color instead of a golden brown or bronze. While the shade looked a little too silvery on my cheekbones, it is a stunningly gorgeous eyeshadow with my light brown eyes. It blends out beautifully and is buildable, so go soft or full drama, your choice! Top: Nebula Eyeshadow in “Milky Way.” Bottom: Halo on High in “Flashback.”
1 of 3 2 of 3 3 of 3 Trifle Cosmetics Red Velvet PaletteΒ – Retail Value $22.00 Although this packaging is a little too cutesy for me personally, the shades inside are right up my alley! I think this palette actually has all of the colors I keep close by in one package. My favorite duo would easily be the Candy High pair, a gorgeous dirty pink and brown/olive shimmer combo. The only set I thought wasn’t excellent would be the Sugarcoated pair, mainly because the first shade is lacking in saturation, but other than that, this is a solid palette I really enjoyed! Top to bottom: Divine, Luscious Top to bottom: Candy High, Sugarcoated Verdict:Β So Susan Color CurateΒ was much better this month for me than the last few reviews. I was really over gold/bronze! This box was very shimmery and just pretty. I love plummy pink shades and there were a ton in this box. The palette is full of shades I will wear and the luminizer will likely also end up as a shadow. I thought the Nebula shadow was gorgeous as a shadow or highlighter, and I liked the weird texture. The brush was a little long to live anywhere outside of my vanity, but I loved the oversized fluffy head. The overall value lands somewhere around $115, which is great for a $20.95 box. To Wrap Up: Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes! If you sign up in July, the July box will be your first box.

I ordered July’s box based on the palette in this review, but I was sent a gold palette instead of the Red Velvet palette I so badly wanted to try. π I am already overloaded with golds.
Love all the shimmer!
I love these colors! I could easily use all of them for eyeshadows and actually be able to pull them off.
Agree completely! I was getting really weary of browns and golds. And how many bronzers does one fair girl need?
Finally a month with my kind of colors and no lippie in a color that is the worst for me.
Great review as always. Thank you.
