What's Inside The Bag

So Susan Limited-Edition Makeup Bag, June 2022 - Retail Value $12

 

Yes! Keep these fun bags coming! I love the girly simplicity I am getting from this month's design. I am always attracted to plants and floral designs, so naturally, this bag fits my favorite aesthetic. The outside of the bag is so easy to wipe clean, and the size could easily fit a day's touchup essentials.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Eye Smolder in Firestarter - Retail Value $24.00

 

I remember using the same eyeliner formula months ago and not getting on with it. Well, this shade isn't much better. I thought it swatched just fine, but when it came to the sensitive eye area, it ended up tugging on my eyelids and skipping around my skin. I also liked the color of this on my swatch hand, but once applied to my lids, it barely showed up. I ended up using it as an all over color for my eyelook, but it was like looking at my bare eye.

So Susan Cosmetics Lip Dome in Blackcurrant  - Retail Value $18.00

 

I can't resist a hydrating lip tint. This pencil went on so smoothly, and it is the best of both worlds; you can use this for a popsicle lip stain, but you can also layer it for a full on lip color. It is really comfortable to wear, and this universal berry shade could work on any skin tone.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Luna Light Liquid Luminizer in Rose Halo - Retail Value $19.00

 

I use liquid highlight almost every day. I can't get enough of a dewy skin look, and typically I'd go for a champagne, but this pink gem has changed everything! It's such a vivid pink; it looks gorgeous totally blended out into cheek color, but I also like it layered for an intense pink highlight. It melts right into the skin and doesn't create any unwanted texture like some more pigmented powder highlights tend to do.

Trifle Cosmetics Fruit Punch Eyeshadow Quad - Retail Value $22.00

 

This quad was the item I was most excited about in this month's bag. Jewel tones are so flattering on any eye color, and playing with this palette and blending one color into the next was so satisfying. I used my fingertip to blend and shape my eye look which turned out to be the perfect medium for this soft, buttery eye color. My look lasted about 3 hours in the heat, but by the end of my 8-hour shift, my eyelids looked like an oil slick but not in a fun, colorful, metallic way.

I am wearing all of the products from this month's bag in this photo. All of this rich color can definitely turn this tired mama's mood around. Let's start the day!

Verdict

This month's So Susan Color Curate had some really fun colorful products. I loved dipping into the colorful eyeshadow quad, layering the berry lip tint and getting beamed up to outer space in my funky pink highlight. The Jelly Pong Pong eyeliner was not my favorite formula, but I was very happy with this month's bag (including the bag itself) in general. This month's picks add up to a value of $95; I think that is a fantastic value for this $20.95 subscription!

I’m a self-proclaimed “cool mom” who loves a little, who am I kidding, a lot of razzle-dazzle. I have been box-obsessed for over 10 years, and I am always on the hunt for new beauty, fun flair and trendy clothing boxes. A fun night for me includes an exfoliating foot mask and a bag of Dot's Pretzels while binging Rupaul’s Drag Race.

Not sure if anyone else had this issue but as soon as I opened the eye smolder the tip broke AND when you turn the bottom (which would not turn until I ran under warm water) nothing comes up to the top. Is there a trick to this?

You look great Abby! I love the eye look, so pretty, and I love the lip tint. I might need to purchase that shade, it’s beautiful. I’m glad they stopped with the sappy sayings on the bags a while back, though I still wish their logo wasn’t so bold.
