So Susan Cosmetics Muse Highlighting Drops in Royal - Value $35
This highlighter is a rose gold hue, with an even micro shimmer.
A little goes a long way, and it's easy to blend, too. You can add a drop to a liquid foundation, BB cream, serum, etc., or apply it directly as a highlighter on your cheeks and browbone.
(And if you are in highlighter overload thanks to subscription boxes, this works great mixed with body lotion, too.)

jelly pong pong Eye Smolder in “Firestarter” - Value $24
This eye pencil/crayon has a subtle shimmer, good pigment, and glides on easily. You can blend/smudge easily when it is first applied, but after that, it stays put!

Trifle Cosmetics Matte Decadence in “Luxe Biscotti” - Value $18
This is a lip pencil and cheek stain in one. The berry color is matte, with excellent pigment, but I found it a little tough to blend. I'm going to stick to using it only as a lip color.

Beauty For Real Kiss Me Gloss - Value $18
This lip gloss has a built in light:
And a mirror:
I've never really had a need for lighting in my beauty products, but I do really like this lip gloss formula.
It has a subtle, minty flavor and no stickiness. The gloss provides a natural amount of shine, and a wash of color - perfect for a natural look.
Here it is swatched beneath the other makeup:
(Highlighting drops, eye crayon, lip pencil, lip gloss.)
And each So Susan Lip Love comes with a new makeup bag:
Limited Edition Makeup Bag - Value $12
Every month includes a makeup bag. In the past, the bags have been canvas, but this year they transitioned to a water/spill proof plastic material. I really liked the canvas bags, but I like this version even more - it's very practical for makeup! (And it is lined inside!)
(I would love to see them send out bags with just background print, no text!)
Verdict: This month's So Susan Lip Love bag has a value of about $107! I think that value is fantastic for a $21 ingredient-conscious beauty subscription box. All the colors work well for me this month, too! (The lip gloss is my favorite though - I love the subtle tingly mint feeling!)
If you are looking for a vegan, ingredient conscious makeup subscription, I can't recommend this one enough. The value is great, the formulas are great, and the bonus bag is always super cute!
