So Susan is a brand which is known to have the prettiest quirky packaging and definitely a brand which stands out. Their collection of products ranges from make-up to nail varnish combining their lovely portfolio of colours with science. Their philosophy is to create colours which last and is kind to your skin.
A huge welcome to the So Susan LacquerLove monthly subscription box which is the ultimate box for all you nail varnish enthusiasts and fans.
This box includes 5 full sized items four of which are 4- free nail varnishes and one bonus make up product each month from Jelly Pongpong with So Susan being the sister company. Their monthly edits include lacquer shades especially selected to compliment their theme for the month.
This pastel coloured and elegantly designed box is very So Susan designed and comes in the form of a gift box which is secured by a magnetic fastener.
July’s LacquerLove theme was Ready, Jet Set, Go and comes at the right time of the season where we all start to enjoy the summer sun and plan for a summer holiday either at home or away.
Inside the box was four 4-free nail lacquers and a bonus Jelly Pong-pong Mineral Foundation with SPF 15.
1. So Susan 4-Free Nail Lacquers – Full Size. RRP £6.95 each
The So Susan nail lacquers are highly pigmented and are formulated to be chip-free and to remain intense with shine from the first application. The formula has quick drying time and is enriched with Rosehip fruit oil to moisturise and strengthen your nails and the delicate skin around it.
These nail lacquers they are 4-free which means they contain no DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate), no Toluene, no Formaldehyde and no Formaldehyde resin. A nail varnish which contains no nasties making it the ideal product which is kind to you.
The four shades within this box were Summer Breeze, Sunset, Orange Bellini and Hot Sand (Full sized retailed at £6.95 individually). The perfect collection for those summer days and nights. There’s a shade for every occasion whether you’re taking a stroll on the beach or going out in the evening.
These nail lacquers have a wonderful formula and the colour payoff is pretty good. The brush is good sized and of good quality which in turn gives you a great application. These also have a good sheen when applied and just one coats is enough to show it’s true vibrant colours.
These are definitely shades I will be reaching out for this Summer.
2. Jelly Pong-pong Mineral Foundation with SPF 15 – Full Size RRP £15.00
I love that within this box also includes a make up item.
This talc-free formulation which comes in three different shades gives optimal coverage as well as moisture to your complexion giving you a matte but not cakey result. This extremely silky and sophisticated to the touch is formulated with a pool of different minerals (sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc) which are extremely skin compatible.
I received the shade fair which was perfect for my skin tone. I’ve never used a powder foundation so was keen to give this a go.
I used a powder brush to apply and this light weight powder is great for the warmer months as an alternatively to using a cream foundation which can feel heavy. I loved the silky satin finish which looked flawless on the skin.
For someone who has always used a cream foundation I’ve fallen in love with this.
My Verdict
Overall this is an unique fun themed box which concentrates mostly on nails and is the first of it’s kind in the UK subscription market. I love So Susan’s concept of this monthly box it’s certainly one which will ensure you have the latest colour trends in your collection and the box is the perfect size to pop into your suitcase if you’re traveling this Summer. I also like the fact that you receive a bonus make up product too making the discovery not just nails. Alternatively this would also make a lovely gift.
This box is worth £42.80 which is great value for money as the box itself is only £14.95 including P&P. You certainly won’t be in the dark with this box as you will be able to preview the box and all it’s contents prior to it being sent to you however if you don’t fancy the pickings you can simply skip the month giving you complete control and flexibility.
Come rain or shine there’s a colour to suit every occasion delivered straight to your door making it the ultimate box for all you nail varnish enthusiasts and fans.
