The September 2014 So Susan LacquerLove monthly subscription box has arrived and this month’s theme is Fashionista celebrating London Fashion Week. This month’s box contains hot runway trends with 4 new shades for every fashion icon.
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.
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 Pong Pong 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.
Inside the box was four 4-free nail lacquers and a bonus So Susan Universal Blush which I received from a mystery selection this month.
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.
This month’s box included the shades Peplum, Emerald Dust, Dark Denim and Aqua Marine (Full sized retailed at £6.95 individually).
These nail lacquers have a wonderful formula and the colour payoff is pretty good.The most impressive factor is the shine which these lacquers give without the need for a top coat and one coat is all it takes to show it’s true colour.
This month’s box featured a range of different unique shades and look absolutely stunning when applied. I welcome the very subtle aqua blue and the vibrant emerald green as I don’t own any similar shades in my collection. The darker shades in the form of the dark purple and blue are great for the Autumn Fall which is nearing upon us.
2. So Susan Universal Blush – Full Size RRP £17.95
This month So Susan are surprising their subscribers with a mystery make up item.
I was delighted to receive the Universal Blush which I’ve been wanting to try having read really positive reviews. This is a micronized, jet-milled blush that works with your skin’s natural chemistry to create a universal healthy flush that is flattering on all skin tones. Made with Buriti Fruit Oil to repair the epidermis and improve skin elasticity.
This diverse blusher is the most amazing shade of pink which gives a soft warm glow. It’s looks very natural once on and the depth of colour is ideal for achieving the perfect rosy cheeks. The texture of the powder glides smoothly onto your skin.
My Verdict
Overall this is an unique subscription box which concentrates only 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. I also like 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 an amazing £45.75 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.
If you tend to stick to classic shades this box definitely gives you the opportunity to try something which you normally wouldn’t reach out for.
There’s a colour to suit every occasion in this box making it the ultimate box for all you nail varnish enthusiasts and fans.
