The October 2014 So Susan LacquerLove box has arrived and this month’s theme is inspired by Halloween and whilst the 31st of the month may be doom and gloom for some, So Susan have come up with an edit which includes a selection of pretty and sparkly nail lacquers embracing magic and fantasy with illuminating and supernatural shades from ghouls and goblins to mermaids and ice queens.
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. Each monthly edit features a unique theme and is specially curated.
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 2 bonus Jelly Pong Pong Liner/Shadow crayons chosen randomly from 3 make-up items.
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 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 but also great quality.
This month’s box included the shades Mermaid, Red Cape, Aurora and Ice Queen (Full sized retailed at £6.95 individually).
This Halloween edit features a selection of different unique shades and look absolutely stunning when applied. My favourite is the Ice Queen as it’s so sparkly and reminds of crisp frosty mornings in the Winter. The Aurora nail lacquer is unique in colour with its tiny specks of glitter and the Mermaid and Red Cape is the perfect companion alongside your Autumn wardrobe.
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. One coat is all it takes to for an opaque result. They really do give you the most effortlessly application.
2. Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Shadow/Liner x2 – Full Size RRP £10.50 each
This month So Susan are surprising their subscribers with a selection of 3 different make-up items which are chosen randomly.
I was delighted to receive not one but two of these liners which are uniquely formulated to double as an eyeliner for thick, precise lines as well as a perfectly-blended eye shadow. The exclusive combination of Italian-formulated waxes and pigments allows you to build up the colour, smudge or create bold lines quickly and easily.
The black liner/shadow applies smoothly giving a striking bold line on the waterline and the plum shade is more of subtle pink which is a lovely natural colour. Both blend quite easily on the eyelid or under the water line or above. I love that these liners are multi-purpose which can be used together to achieve either a natural look for the day or a dashing smokey eye look for the evening.
My Verdict
This is by far one of my favourite edits by So Susan. I love the beautiful shades which provides the perfect finishing touch whether you’re off to a Halloween party or simply looking for the perfect nail colour to compliment your autumn wardrobe.
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 £31.95 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. 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.
