So Susan Lip Love December 2015

WHAT'S IN

THE BOX?

So Susan Lip Love is a monthly makeup subscription bag that is about $21 and ships from England.  I think it is one of the funner makeup sub bags out there as the makeup is so cutely packaged and the makeup bags included are adorable. I also like this makeup line because they are cruelty free, paraben free, and more natural than other makeup lines.

There is a card in each month's bag with the quote on one side and the contents of the bag on the other.   I love the quote this month. 

"Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.  When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."  Lao Tzu

Every month, the sub includes a cloth makeup bag.  They are themed for the month and have the quote on them as well.  I loved the colors in this month's bag and the snowflakes.

Trifle Cosmetics Lip Parfait (Raccoon) - ($18.95) This is a sister company to So Susan. What a cute package!  The color is a bright pink.  I do not know many people who live in England, but they must like bright shades of lipstick.  Every tube of lipstick I have received is a shade I would never wear.  BRIGHT!

So Susan Dual Brow Powder - ($17.95) I passed this on to a friend as I really do not use anything on my eyebrows.  It is a nice quality brow liner. 
 

Jelly Pong Pong Lychee Gel - ($15.95) This is shower gel - it is not a very big tube. I do not think I would ever pay that much for it.

So Susan Luminous High-Coverage Foundation -  ($24.95)  This shade is maybe a tad to dark for my skin tone but I will try it out. It does contain sunblock, which I love in a foundation.

This was not my favorite month for Lip Love, but it was not a total dud.  I do miss getting an accessory in every bag and the price went up - with less in the bag - so that is not something a consumer likes to see. I ended up cancelling this sub, due to a problem with changing the billing information.  I was grandfathered in at the old sub price but since I had to change billing information, they would not let me keep that old price.  I might pick this back up in a few months, but for now I have a overabundance of So Susan cosmetics.

Purchased.  All opinions are my own and no compensation was received.

Lip Love Subscription from So Susan Cosmetics

What's in

the bag?

Lip Love Subscription bag is one I found while searching for fun, new subscriptions that were more reasonably priced.  This bag is from England and is $16 a month.  It contains 3 products, 2 bonus items, and a makeup bag designed exclusively for the subscription. 

Every bag has a quote on it and it is usually inspiring.  

The bags are always so colorful and pretty!  They are probably my favorite part of this subscription.

Jelly Pong Pong Paradise Pigments in Fig Jam -   ($19.99) These are the cutest packaged lip and cheek tubs.  I love their line of products because of the wonderful packaging and the fact that they are cruelty free.

So Susan Statement Skin in Candlelight - ($20) I was very excited to see this was included in our bag this month - I had seen this on some of the Instagram feeds - for Ipsy.  I really wanted to try this out. 

Haute Light in Eggshell - ($19.95) Another goodie that I was happy to receive in my bag. 

Strengthening Cuticle Oils -  ($25.95) This was our bonus accessory item of the month - I am happy to see them change it up from the usual piece of jewelry.  These are little cuticle oils and each one has a purpose.

   
Jelly Pong Pong Goju Blush is also one of the bonus items this month.  It sells for $17.95.  The bag was a winner this month - I will use every item in it and I love the packaging.  If you are thinking of a new sub to join, give this one a try - this bag had a value of $103.80 and that does not include the shipping charges you are saving. 

 

SoSusan Lip Love Subscription

What's in 

the bag?

What is it: So Susan Lip Love Subscription

How much: $15.95

How often: Once a month

This subscription bag is from a cosmetics line out of England.  They send you a bag, an accessory, and 3 makeup items and a bonus item each month.  

The Theme for May was I LOVE VACATIONS! 

I would also like to mention the list of things that So Susan cosmetics is proud of:

 • No Mineral Oils 
• No Phthalates 
• No Parabens 
• Hypoallergenic 
• Non-comedogenic

100% Cruelty-Free (We do NOT test our products or ingredients on animals)

The sailboat bag -  ($12) I was thrilled when I saw a spoiler of this bag on their website!  How cute is that little bay with the sailboats?  I almost bought it before I realized it was the bag of the month.

 Anchor bracelet in green -  ($10)  This is nice little bracelet and I will wear it a lot this summer. 

Play Paint by Jelly Pong Pong -   ($13) This is a lip and cheek paint. It is a very bright shade - perfect for summer.  I love products that do more than one thing too. 

Lightning Crew by The Beauty Crop - ($18) I cannot believe this little tube is $18 - but it is really pretty highlighting cream.  I picture it more for younger ladies hitting the clubs though so I will be passing it on. 

Light Diffuser by So Susan -  ($18) I love the packaging on this line of cosmetics.  The website explains how to use too - "Usage : Using the contour shade, apply along the hollow of your cheeks and blend upward to create the illusion of sculpted cheeks by creating shadows. Dust the illuminating colour over cheeks, temples, nose, décolleté, or anywhere you want a boost of soft, radiant color. Try sweeping the shades onto the eyes for a gorgeous, shimmering shadow."  This is scented in dark cocoa and coconut too - YUM!

BONUS ITEM - Creme Couture blush in terracotta -  ($16 - on sale now for $13.33)  This is a lovely cream blush in a great shade for me. I love the packaging! And it also smells really good.  

 The value of this bag is about $75 and it is a great way to try out the So Susan line without spending a lot.  I really recommend this one.  You get a bag, an accessory and makeup!  LOVE that mix of products!
