The Lip Love Monthly beauty bags from So Susan Cosmetics get better each month. At just $20.95 per bag - they ship worldwide from the UK - these contain full-sized makeup products which are all cruelty-free and exciting. This is my favourite subscription at the moment.
This month, the bag, which features a quote on a cute flotilla design, is themed I Love Vacations. I had guessed that it would include a bronzer and hoped they would leave out the fake tan, since I already have more than enough.
Check out the contents of my May 2015 Lip Love beauty bag from So Susan Cosmetics.
I received:
Anchor Bracelet
The Beauty Crop Lighting Crew Highlighting Cream
Jelly Pong Pong Play Paint in Damson
Creme Couture Soft-Focus Cream Blush in Terracotta
Light Diffuser Illuminator and Bronzer Duo in Cocoa Dust
Isn't the anchor bracelet cute? I am taking it with me to London and will wear it even with outfits which clash horribly with it. I love anchors.
The Beauty Crop Lighting Crew Highlighting Cream
Easily one of my favourite highlighters. This is neither pink- nor gold-based but more of a rose-gold, which suits my skintone and blends beautifully - swatched below. It contains pineapple and green tea. Cruelty-, paraben-, phthalate- and mineral oil- and fragrance-free.

Jelly Pong Pong Play Paint in Damson
I always love the multipurpose products in the Lip Love beauty bags. This is a lip-and-cheek cream but I will definitely keep it for the lips. It contains pumpkin seed oil and rhubarb extracts for moisturising, and promises 10 hours' wear. The shade is beautiful. I have swatched everything at the end of this post.
Creme Couture Soft-Focus Cream Blush in Terracotta
This is a very creamy, pigmented blush. It contains Argireline and Matrixyl, both of which are peptides that reduce wrinkles. So Susan blushes are some of the best out there and I'm glad to have this pinky-peach shade. It is actually paler than it looks in the pan. Swatches are further below.
Light Diffuser Illuminator and Bronzer Duo in Cocoa Dust
My favourite product in this box. A bronzer and gold-highlighter duo that contains cocoa, papaya and sea kelp extracts and smells of chocolate. The formula, smell and shade remind me of Too Faced Chocolate Soleil, which is one of my favourite bronzers ever.

Verdict
This was another good month. I will definitely use everything in the May 2015 Lip Love bag. The bronzer and highlighter are especially beautiful, as also the Play Paint. I would like to see more lip products in future bags, as it is called Lip Love, after all.
Lip Love beauty bags are shipped worldwide from the UK every month and cost $20.95 inclusive of postage. You can buy yours here. They send you previews each month and you can skip a bag if you don't like the contents. If you are shopping on So Susan Cosmetics, do use R8BOkHTT for a discount.
I'm not sure if/when I will receive the June bag, since I am travelling. I will take a look at the preview and decide.
