What's Inside The Bag
Limited-Edition Makeup Bag, October 2024 - Retail Value $12
This month's bag is another fabric/canvas bag, just like August's. I like this style; it is a breath of fresh air, and I think it is important to switch things up occasionally when you've been at it so long. There is an interesting quote on the front of this bag, but my favorite part is the floating nail polish bottles. I would love a bag with just the cute bottles all over it.
So Susan Cosmetics - Covert Canvas Concealer Palette - Retail Value $40.00
This palette is a risky choice for a subscription box, since I am sure not all of their subscribers can use a light complexion palette; however, it does work well for me and my pasty pale skin. The consistency of this palette is consistently butter smooth with great color payoff. Whether you use it with a concealer brush or a clean fingertip, the color-correcting shades blend easily into the skin, especially on sensitive undereye area.
Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics - Liptensity in "Sumptuosity" - Retail Value $19.95
Your girl loves a good gloss. This thick formula is like applying a layer of vinyl to the lip; it is so shiny and has impressive color opacity. This is a one-swipe lip look. It was a little sticky and certainly not transfer-proof, but I expect that from any gloss. The shade "Sumptuosity" is a gorgeous pink that will pop day or night.
Trifle Cosmetics - Cheek Souffle- Retail Value $12.00
Cream blush is my favorite way to combat chronic dry skin. It is a game-changer, and I swear it makes whoever wearing it look younger. I haven't met one that I didn't like, and this peachy pot is an instant favorite. Its micronized silk pigments melted into my skin and created an even, youthful glow.
Trifle Cosmetics - Matte Decadence - Retail Value $9.00
This little pencil packs a big punch of color. It is recommended to use on the lips and cheeks, but it is so pigmented I didn't think adding it directly to my cheeks was a good option. I did, however, use my foundation sponge to stipple it on, and it worked like a charm. It's such a punchy color, I would have loved to have this in the summer. It felt okay on my lips, but I always prefer loading my lips with balm before applying a matte product.
Swatched Above: So Susan palette, Jelly Pong Pong gloss, Trifle Cosmetics matte pencil, Trifle Cosmetics Cheek Souffle
In this photo, I am wearing the concealer palette, Jelly Pong Pong's gloss, and the cheek souffle across my cheeks and even my nose. I don't use blush on my nose all the time, but I am digging the outcome. What do you think?
Verdict
October's So Susan Color Curate was a great fit for me. The cheek souffle is perfection, and I am wild about my new lip gloss. The concealer palette will also be handy as my two-year-old's sleep regression continues (lol). October's bag's retail value comes to $92.95; you're getting four products and a bag for $20.95, a great deal.
