Wantable: Makeup Edition July 2015

What's in
the box?



Wantable has three regular subscriptions and a fashion workout edit box.  The three that you can choose from each month or have sent to you every month are Makeup, Accessories, and Intimate.  I usually pick either an Accessories or Makeup one; my favorite boxes are the Makeup edition. 


    Wantable is different though - you can skip boxes each month or just have one or two of the selections sent to you.  Now you can also return items you do not like for a partial refund of your box monthly fee, which is $40.  If you keep the whole box, you earn a $4 off coupon on your next Wantable box.

 They always make you feel special at Wantable:

 Each of your boxes will come with a break down of the items - it has retail price and what your refund price would be on it.


Wantable is also nice because you make a Love, Like, and Dislike of products - you will never get anything from your dislike section and always something from your Love section.  I currently have brows, eyeliner, lash products, highlighter, bronzer, and nail products in my Dislike section but I could change it up for next month if I chose.  I have warm, eye shadow and lip color in my Love section.  But I do not think I have every been given a full eye shadow palette - it is usually just one color.  In my Like section, I have complexion products, cool, blush and tools. 
 

Model Co BB Cream -  ($22) You also put in all your info like skin tone, hair and eye color, and complexion needs so they can always match the makeup to you.  I love getting BB cream because I wear it every day and prefer it to heavy foundations.  This is a win for me.


Doucce Lush Lip Gloss Crimson Light  -  ($22) This is a beautiful tube of lip gloss and between it and my BB cream, I have the value of my box.  I love lip glosses - and this seems so elegant and classy. 


Seta Foundation Brush -   ($20)  I could not find this exact brush online, but their other prices have been right on the money.  I will probably use this for highlighter actually since I prefer the Beauty Blender for my BB creams.


OFRA Lipstick 09 -  ($13.15)  This brand has been very popular in my boxes the last few months.  I have received some lip and eye liner from Little Lace Box as well.  I love this shade and it is one I would have picked out for myself.


Another great hit of a box for me!  My stylist did a great job picking out my items and I love the variety - some people would not like getting a lipstick and a lip gloss, but I often pair them.  The value of my box is $75+ and I paid $36 since I got a box a few months ago.  Wantable never slacks off and the boxes are usually just what I wanted.

Wantable Makeup April 2015

What's in
the box?

Wantable now has 5 - yes, 5 - boxes you can have shipped monthly to your home!  Three of them work like traditional boxes - the Accessories, Intimates, and Makeup boxes.  You fill out a survey of your style and likes/dislikes, and they curate a box just for you.  I like this type of box because you never get something you hate - Hate all those eyeliners in every box?  Just put eyeliner in your hate list, and you will not get one ever.   These boxes are $40 a month but you save $4 on the next month's box if you keep all the items instead of returning pieces for the itemized refund on the card.


Two of their subscription boxes are now style boxes  - they call them edits - you pay a small styling fee and then pay for the items if you decide to keep them.  They have a fashion one and a fitness clothes one.  

I have decided to play a round robin with the boxes since you can skip the traditional 3 at any time.  This month it was Makeup's turn and it did not disappoint.




 First Look:



Fran Wilson MOODmatcher Luxe Twist stick in Orange -  ($8)  The box says this is smudge proof, fade proof and kiss proof.  I wore it for awhile and got it to a Barbie pink but I do not know how dark it would get.  It was a fun item to try out! 



Eddie Funkhouser Luxlight Hydrating Primer -  ($14.99)  I was really excited to see this in my box!  I have never tried anything from this line and have really wanted to!  This is a great size tube too!  




Tarina Tarantino lip gloss in Cabochon -  ($19)  I was not expecting to like this as much as I do!  It is a great shade on me and is so pretty!  I thought it would be too pink but it is actually close to my actual lip shade and puts a lovely shine on my lips.  I need to find out where this $10 retail price is from the Wantable card! These are on sale for $10 right now on Hautelook.



Frankie Rose Cosmetics 3 Shade Blush in Ravish - ($35)  I had not heard of this brand before so I was excited to see it in my box as well.  This is really pretty and I like have the 3 shades instead of having 3 different blushes in my makeup bag! 




 I was blown away by the value and the products in this month's Wantable box.  I had heard some people were not happy with the value since they had gone to a piece return system but I am really loving the boxes that have been curated for me since they did that.  The last Intimates box contained two sets of pajamas.  This makeup box is one of my favorites now!

Wantable March 2015!

What's in 
the box?

Wantable is a subscription box service that has 3 boxes to select each month and a fit subscription box that works a little differently.   The Intimates, Makeup, and Accessories are $40 a month and you can skip whenever you want.  If you do not like an item in the box, you can return for a partial refund that is listed on the card with your items.  If you keep all the items. you get a $4 credit on the box to use on your next box purchase.  




The Fitness Edit box has a $20 styling fee that is deducted from anything you buy - they send you 5 items to choose from with a $20-$60 price tag.  Keep what you like and return what you do not.  If you return everything, you lose the $20 styling fee.  

I chose the Intimates box this month.  This box was $40 and if I keep everything, my next purchase will be $36.  

"Nice to See You Again Beautiful" - love the first look! 


Per Lei pajamas in Spring Fling -  This is the prettiest mint color and these pajamas are really soft.  The pants are a capri and these will be nice for this summer's trip out west. 


Pajama Drama Pom Pom pajamas - I really love these!  They are so pretty - I love the color, the print, and the softness.  The pom pom's around the pants and shirt are so cute! The pants are long and the shirt is a tank top. 



 I loved this month's Wantable Intimates box.  I would have picked out these exact pajamas had I been able to choose.  I am excited to pack these for our family trip this summer.

Wantable Intimates 2015

What's in
the box?




Wantable is a monthly subscription box that ships for $36 and there are 4 choices of boxes.  You can select to get all 4 every month or pick and choose which ones you get.  You can skip every box or just one or two.  There is an Intimates box, an Accessories box, a Fitness box, and a Makeup box.  All boxes are completely refundable.  If you do not like your box, send it back for a full refund.



This month I chose to have a Wantable Intimates box because I knew they were including Muk Luk Slipper Sox.  

Wantable boxes are very custom made.  You fill out an online questionnaire and tell them what you Love, Like and Hate.  You will never get items on your Hate list.  You will get your items between your Love and Like list, always getting items from your Love lists.  They have also recently added a comments section so you can speak directly to your stylists.  I used mine this month to make sure I got the Muk Luks!



First Look:



Muk Luks Slipper Sox - ($24)  I was so excited when I saw this was an option this month. I love this brand of slippers!  I gave them out as Christmas gifts this last year and wanted a pair of the slipper sox for myself.  




Seamless Boyleg Black - ($12)  These were my least favorite item in the box.  They are like boyshorts but not very comfortable.  



Pajama Drama Nouveau Racerback in grey ($21)  This is a pajama tank top and super soft.  It is not really a winter item but I will like this come summer.  I was pleasantly surprised that it fit so nicely.



Pajama Drama Nouveau Cami with Lace in Navy -  ($21)  This is so pretty and I love the color.  It is also very soft and I can wear it under sweaters.


I was very pleased with my Intimates box this month.  I will probably get this one again next month.  This box had a value of $78 and I loved almost everything in the box.

Wantable Makeup Box September 2014

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

     Wantable is one of the more pricey subscription boxes but there are a lot of perks to it too that I think justify the $36 price tag.   There are 3 types of Wantable boxes:  Makeup, Intimates, and Accessories.

First of all, the entire box is refundable.  If you get it and dislike it, you can print off a return label and send all of it back for a full refund.  There is not an option to do this with any other box.   Secondly, their quiz is the most detailed I have seen and they follow it.  You can choose things to be on your love, like and dislike list.  You will never get any item on your dislike list and your products will be pulled from your love and like list.  And finally, you can go in to the website each month and choose to skip any of the three boxes.  If you really want some new accessories, leave that one unskipped and skip the other two.  It goes that way for all three boxes.  If you want to skip all three that month, you can do that too.  

This month I skipped Intimates and Accessories and chose to get a Makeup Box!  
I had a great box shipped to me!

First Look: 



This is my quiz results with Love, Like and Dislike. I have a lot of items in my dislike section because these are the items I receive a lot of from other subscription boxes that are not as easy to customize. 



 Vincent Longo Lipstain SPF 15 Lipstick in Fleur de Flirt -  This is the perfect shade for me and I love that this lipstick has sunscreen.  These lipstick retails for $23 on the website. Beautiful shade and love the texture.



Mirabella Blush Duo - This case is so pretty and I love these shades.  Another great pick by Wantable.  These retail for $30.




Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Highlight Duo-   This is the prettiest eye shadow palette!  I love these shades and they match exactly to what I buy!  These are $19 on the website.  I am thrilled with this pick!



 Ofra Magic Roulette Concealer -  When I first saw this in the box, I thought it was an eye shadow palette.  I was happy to see it was a product to soften discolorations, cover blemishes and hide imperfections.  How pretty is this too? This concealer has a value of $29.95.  



The value on this box is $101.95 and I paid $36 for this subscription.  The value is really there on this Wantable and I was pleased with everything in my box.  The shades were perfect for me because they listened to the quiz I filled out beforehand.  

Did you get a Wantable box this month?  What were your favorites?
