What's Inside The Bag
So Susan Limited-Edition Makeup Bag, July 2024 - Retail Value $12
Wow! I am excited So Susan is trying a new style this month, but my daughter was even more excited! I had to kiss this bag goodbye when she locked her gaze on the "cute kitties!" This month's bag is more of a fabric/canvas bag, and it is a breath of fresh air.
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics - Caribbean Sun in "Aruba" - Retail Value $24.95
This warm duo could make any time of year feel like summer. I was surprised by the tone of this duo; typically I see warm shades, which don't always work out for me; this cool-toned palette blends amazingly well with my neutral/cool-leaning skin tone. I really liked using this bronzer shade as a light contour and the peach gives my complexion a sunkissed glow.
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics - Cosmic Light in "Flare" - Retail Value $18.00
Some shades from this line from Jelly Pong Pong are loose powder pigment, but this color is straight-up loose glitter. I think it is gorgeous! This red sparkle could add pizzazz to any summery look. I find it is best to use with a glitter glue to prevent fallout.
Trifle Cosmetics - Eye Candy in "Cupcake" - Retail Value $14.00
Trifle Cosmetics makes an excellent foiled shadow. I love the texture and application of both colors above. I like to dip into the cranberry shade for the outer corner of my eyes, and I do the same for the silver but in my inner corner. I then returned to the cranberry shade and added a little where they touch to blend the colors. It is such a quick, easy look that would be perfect for anyone getting into eyeshadows.
So Susan Cosmetics - Butterstain in "Bitten" - Retail Value $35.00
Cream blush is a must-have for dry skin. This array of colors really flattered my complexion. The formula for these is ultra-pigmented so a tiny dab will easily blend all over the cheeks imparting a nice glow to the skin; if you go too heavy, it is easy to tame the color with a touch of powder. If you want to take it a step further, take your foundation sponge or brush and stipple what's left over on your tool to your cheek color to make your flush subtle and especially beautiful. I was impressed that the color lasted all day without getting greasy or completely disappearing.
Swatched Above: So Susan Butterstain trio, Trifle Cosmetics Eyeshadow duo, Jelly Pong Pong Cosmic Light & Caribbean Sun
Verdict
August's So Susan Color Curate is great for anyone who loves a quick yet sophisticated makeup look. I have always been a sucker for cheek products, so the Caribbean duo and Butterstain collection really won my heart this month. August's bag's retail value comes to $103.95; you're getting four products and a bag for $20.95, which is a fantastic deal.
