What’s Inside
So Susan Cosmetics Summer Skin – Retail Value $42
I'll be the first to admit I'm not usually a bronzing-and-sculpting-palette person: the shades are almost always just slightly off. This one surprised me. The shades are right on point, mixable, and give you a genuinely sculpted look without a ton of effort. Minimal fallout, pigmented but blendable, and matte, which, honestly, is harder to find than it should be these days.
So Susan Cosmetics LipPout – Retail Value $18.95
Shade: Social Butterfly
This is one of the most pigmented lipsticks I've tried in a hot minute, and I mean that in the most intimidating way possible. The color is so intense that I'd almost recommend applying it with a lip brush rather than straight from the bullet, because one small miscalculation and your whole look is affected. The formula is decently creamy and didn't leave my lips looking dry, but I'd still layer a lip balm underneath for a smoother finish.
Trifle Cosmetics Cheek Parfait – Retail Value $9.50
Shade: Coffee Dessert
Speaking of intimidating shades, this blush stick looks a little scary straight out of the packaging, but it blends out more than you'd expect. The formula is creamy, though it does run a little sticky whether you apply it with fingers or a brush. My best tip: apply with a brush, then set it with a loose powder. It already has solid staying power on its own, but once it's set, it genuinely doesn't budge.
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Supercharged Super Intense Eyeshadow Duo – Retail Value $22.95
Shade: Electric
I'm calling it: this is the ultimate travel eyeshadow duo. Compact, punchy, zero fallout, beautiful shimmer, and blendable however you need it. The shades are versatile enough that it's hard not to find multiple ways to use them. I got the Electric combo — gold and bronze — which is perfect for building a simple eye look with real depth.
Value - Was This Bag Worth It?
The Cost: $20.95
Retail Value: $93.40
I keep loving this bag more and more, and I finally get why. The products might seem simple at first glance, but they're pigmented, polished, and genuinely versatile. The bronzing and sculpting palette alone was worth it for me. I've been looking for the right one forever. And I guess it's time to start practicing my red lip application.
