The *October Lip Love Bag has arrived and this month it’s inspired by courage, something which comes in many shapes, sizes and forms. I love the design of the bag it’s very autumn inspired and the polar bear is just the cutest! Design aside the contents are just as loveable and focuses on illuminating the skin as well as accentuating those key features. Boasting a mix of some of So Susan’s new and popular collection as well as a product from the ever so cute Trifle Cosmetics, there’s quite a few highlights with lots of exciting things to try. As always the curation really shows off what So Susan do best and their innovation and creativity impresses me month on month, it’s amazing how many new launches they bring out but I’m particularly happy to see another new lip product on board from their collection.
The So Susan collection ranges from make-up to nail varnish combining their lovely portfolio of colours with science. Their philosophy is to create colours which last, are cruelty free and also much kinder to your skin. As well as the philosophy behind the brand, I love the feminine and pretty designed packaging which always stands out for me. I’ve tried quite a few products from their collection and already have a few firm favourites.
Each month, the Lip Love bag will include 3 full sized items and one bonus product from either Jelly Pong Pong or So Susan alongside an treat in the form of jewellery or a hair accessory.
1. Lip Parfait by Trifle Cosmetics- Full Size. RRP £12.95
One of the highlights from the line up is the Lip Parfait from Trifle Cosmetics in a lovely coral/orange shade.
If you love cute packaging you’re in for a real treat as this lipstick is just adorable! The pigmentation is great and the formula sweeps on smoothly whilst also keeping your lips hydrated. I really love the formula and hope to see more shade variations within future edits.
The cardboard material isn’t as long lasting as a normal plastic lipstick but the pretty design makes it worth the sacrifice! I am so in love, not only does this lipstick look amazing the formula is just as loveable.
2. Lighten Up by Jelly Pong Pong – Full Size RRP £14.95
This emollient waterliner comes in an off-white color to instantly brighten your eyes for a natural, refreshed “wide awake” look or you can blend onto the forehead, cheek bones, brow bone and along the nose to illuminate your features.
The pencil works as a great highlighter for the inner corner of the eyes and the brow bone which instantly brightens your eyes up.
3. Statement Skin in “Starlight” – Full Size RRP £15.00
Starlight mimics the great properties of its counterpart Candlelight which was featured a couple of months ago and is undoubtedly a beautiful highlighter.
The unique chiseled head enables you to cover large areas of the face, or target small pinpoint ones (like your cupid’s bow), all without using a brush! Powered by Organic Chia Seed it helps to keep skin softly hydrated and the addition of the Silk Peptide promotes skin suppleness and elasticity.
This highlighter is creamy, luminous, long-lasting and is the most perfect shade that looks entirely natural. It reminds me of a cream eyeshadow stick. It’s an absolutely stunning colour that would suit all skin tones and it blends in leaving the most radiant of glows. In my opinion this is just as great as Candlelight and the formula alone is one of the best I’ve tried. I think this one is probably more suited for the evening as you can definitely see hints of sparkle.
4. So Susan Powder Primer – Full Size RRP £18.00
I’ve never tried a primer in a powder form before so couldn’t wait to see how this compares against my liquid primer.
This powder primer is a new addition to the So Susan range and has been developed in a first-of-its-kind powder format, free from silicon and with SPF-15. Formulated specifically to reduce the layers of bases & creams you apply on a daily basis which may clog pores and increase skin sensitivity in the long run.
Even though, I did not expect to love this product – it has truly amazed me. The lid allows me to control how much powder I need, so I never have to deal with any clumsy situations and in terms of application this primer applies like a dream. With very little effort. it magically blurs all imperfections whilst matifying the skin too giving you the perfect base for the remainder of your make up. I love the feather light feel and in all honestly I could wear this just on its own without applying a foundation on top, it’s that good! It’s definitely the star product this month.
5. Peace Bracelet – RRP £8.95
As well as the make-up line up you can also expect to see an additional treat usually in the form of jewellery or hair accessories and this month features a peace bracelet. It’s not really my kind of style and seems a little out of place with the theme itself.
My Verdict
So Susan have curated another great edition which features lots of new and exciting discoveries including some of their newest creations. There’s definitely quite a few items I’ve fallen in love with this month, the lipstick shade is more wearable in comparison to last month and the powder primer has truly wowed me something I wasn’t expecting at all, it’s so AH-mazing! The only negative is the fact there’s two highlighters again this month and these are slowly piling up for me as it’s not something I use on a daily basis but that being said I am really loving the Statement Skin highlighter in Starlight! As always the bag features five full sized products so it’s incredible value for money and great for those who want to discover more skin friendly and cruelty-free alternatives.
The Lip Love Bag literally caters for every make-up addict regardless of whether you’re a pro or just want to experiment with different products and shades that may usually be outside of your comfort zone. One of the aspects I really love is that So Susan are always churning out new revolutionary products so you can always expect to discover something new as well as some of their classic and popular products too.
