So Susan Lip Love – December 2016 Review

is a monthly beauty subscription box.  It costs $20.95 per month (cheaper with longer subscription period) and includes 4-5 beauty products in a canvas bag.

This is a review of December’s box.  Above picture shows everything in this month’s box.

Each box contains an information card describing the box’s theme and the items in the box. This is the “I Love Celebrations” bag.

Eco-Chic Canvas Makeup Bag ($12) – La la la dancing penguins!  I really like this month’s quote.  I’m the kind of person who, when life throws me lemons, throws some of them back at life and makes some lemonade.

Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated!

Kabuki Brush by So Susan ($22.95) – I love So Susan’s brushes.  This one is super fluffy and soft.  I think it’s a really good powder brush.

A versatile brush made from best quality synthetic nylon & taklon hairs only.

Owls by Jelly Pong Pong ($18.95) – Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!  I have owned a few of these incredibly cute packaged lippies with dogs, cats, ice cream, balloons…  This one is owls!  Owls are definitely one of the species that I have special feelings for.  On to the lipstick.  It’s a rosy pink color.  It has a strawberry scent (which, unfortunately, is not my favorite), but this line of lipstick is very creamy and the pigmentation is also good.  The lasting power is not the best but I like everything else about the lipstick so that isn’t such a big deal to me.

A gorgeous raspberry lip stain that relieves dry lips, moisturizes, provides antioxidant protection and offers full, shiny, long-lasting colour.

Cheek Parfait by Trifle Cosmetics ($22.95) – This one inherited the cute packaging from the So Susan brands.  This was their spoiler item this month.  It has a sweet peach scent.  It blends pretty well.  It’s a little dramatic for me to use as a blush, but the rosy coral color is also good for lips.

Liquid Crystal by So Susan (bonus item, $21.95) – Yisssssssssss!  Another lippie!  I’ve never tried So Susan’s liquid lipstick, so I’m super excited to try this.  It has a pretty strong floral scent.  The color is a nude color that I can actually pull off.  The lasting power is pretty good.  I think it’s among the best I’ve tried from the So Susan brands’ lip products.  It has a semi-matte finish.

A highly pigmented liquid lipstick that gives you brilliant moisture without the stickiness and long-lasting colour without the flakiness. Formulated with Olive Oil and Chamomile Extract, super ingredients that help keep lips hydrated, smooth and supple.

Usage: Apply onto lips & purse for a long-wearing stain. Apply two more coats for deep, high-impact colour.
