Limited-Edition Makeup Bag March 2020 - Retail Value $12.00
Love these colors and the kind od jellyfish vibe I am getting from this month's bag. The inside is lined in a pale yellow.

So Susan Cosmetics Subtropical Eyeshadow Palette in "Royal Palm" - Retail Value $45.00
How freaking pretty are these colors? This palette feels like summertime! There are 7 metallics and one lone matte in here, but it all works really well. The pigment is awesome and the colors are super bold. I actually think the matte shade might be my favorite. It is moody and this wonderfully greenish-blue-grey that feels really wearable and unique. It is also neutral enough to enhance the bolder shimmering shades beautifully.
Top to bottom: Climate, Latitude, Humid, and Plateau
Top to bottom: Cyclone, Lagoon, Wetland, and Riviera

So Susan Cosmetics Dream Maker in "Pop Star", 10 ml - Retail Value $29.00
I didn't expect to like this liquid highlighter as much as I did, but I think the sheer formula and more pearly than sparkly finish won me over. Just a little of this stuff goes a long way! It is on the sheer side and gives my skin a cooler golden glow with just a hint of pink. It is gorgeous on cheekbones and even eyelids as a shadow wash sort of deal.
A very pretty sheen.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Caribbean Sun Duo Bronzer in "Aruba", 3 g - Retail Value $24.95
I had to sigh when I first saw a bronzer in this bag. They just generally don't work for me, and I always feel like I get millions of them once the weather warms up. I was pleasantly surprised that this is more of a blush + contour sort of deal. The blush side is a warm peach that would flatter anyone and the bronzer side is soft enough that I could easily get away with this. It is notably not orange leaning! This will be going into my stash instead of to a friend!
This is my sort of bronzer duo I guess!

Trifle Cosmetics Creamsicle in "Acerola", 20 ml - Retail Value $9.00
Finally, our last item is a little tube of lip and cheek tint. I really liked this glossy stuff! I found it was much more of the type of thing I would use on my lips instead of my cheeks because it does have a little shine. On my lips, it is a sheer pink that is adorable and so spring appropriate!
Cute!
Verdict: So Susan Color Curate has a value of $119.95 this month and I actually loved everything inside! The bold colors of the palette are stunning and feel perfect for going into spring and summer. I also was so pleasantly surprised with the highlighter cream and the bronzer duo. Of course, I loved the lip and cheek tint too! This was a really great month for this sub!
