What's Inside The Bag
Eco-Chic Makeup Bag - Retail Value $12
This month's bag is my cup of tea. I definitely live by the mantra on the front: "Worrying is worthless. Drink your tea slowly and reverently, without rushing toward the future... Live the actual moment." At home, I try to live in the moment and not worry about the small stuff; however, it is nearly impossible to maintain that mindset in the workplace.
So Susan Cosmetics - Nocturne Palette - Retail Value $48
So Susan makes some really beautiful powder products. The texture of each powder is silky smooth, and the pigmentation is lovely. This dark-hued eyeshadow color palette is not my taste, but the blushes are perfect for my light complexion.
So Susan Cosmetics - LipoPout in "Cats" - Retail Value $18.95
This lovely fuchsia lipstick and balm hybrid applies pigmented and has a gorgeous shine. The paper tube is adorable, too! It is hydrating and packs a huge punch of color; it would look fantastic on any skintone, whoever may be bold enough to wear it. This is one you might have to touch up more, but it is so easy to swipe on, I won't mind one bit.
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics - Cosmic Light in "Nebula" - Retail Value $18
Although I typically prefer using a palette with a few workable and blendable colors, sometimes I find single shadows or loose pigments find their way into my heart. This metallic royal blue is a show-stopper. It went on seamlessly and blended out beautifully on my lids.
Trifle Cosmetics - Sugar Bunny - Retail Value $9
I didn't know I needed this lip scrub until I tried it and noticed a vast difference in texture on my lips. Sugar crumbs mixed with emollient oils and vanilla made this a pleasure to use, and it felt great to resurface my pout. My lip mask glided on so smoothly, and I noticed fewer lines in my lips the next morning. Of course, that is temporary, but I will definitely be using this weekly as a treat.
BONUS ITEM : Peony Cosmetics - Chameleon Powder Pigment in "Tales Are True" - Retail Value $18
Single pots of eyeshadow, especially loose powders, can be kind of a pain, so when I add one to my collection, it has to be special. I was surprised (and relieved) at how fine this pigment is. This blends into a fine, sparkly finish that you can build up or apply lightly for an all over shimmer. This is the perfect powder to apply to your decolletage for a gorgeous sheen, especially stunning in the sun.
Swatched Above: Jelly Pong Pong Cosmic Light in Nebula, Peony Cosmetics Chameleon Pigment, So Susan Palette, So Susan Lipopout
Verdict
August's So Susan Color Curate had an interesting array of products for summer. I love the pops of color and shimmer with each loose pigment, and even though it is super punchy, I look forward to giving the So Susan Lipopout a fair shot. August's bag's retail value comes to $123.95; you're getting five full-sized products and a bag for $20.95, a great deal.
