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.
TheBalm
Hautelook is a division of Nordstrom that does sales on products that last just a few days. They are usually pretty good sales, sometimes as much as 50-60% off. Kohls sells this brand if you are looking for it in your mall.
There were several items from this line that were on my most wanted list - the How 'Bout Them Apples has been high on the list since I got a sample of it with my Birchbox store purchase.
How 'Bout Them Apples? - ($32 - on sale $16) This lip and cheek cream palette is very cute and I love the packaging! I think Pie is my favorite shade. Love that you can use for more than one thing too. This is really large too - so a good amount of product.
Cindy-Lou Manizer - ($24 - on sale for $12) This is another product I have been wanting to try since I saw it in Birchbox reviews. So pretty and love it on!
Nude Tude palette - ($36 - on sale for $18) I love collecting palettes and the packaging on this one is lovely! Love the names of the colors - all start with S. There is a mix of matte and shimmer too, but it does lean more heavily on shimmer shades. Love the little brush and mirror that is included too - I really prefer palettes to have their own mirror at least.
Give Crease a Chance - ($26.50 - on sale for $13) I fell in love with double-ended makeup brushes after I got my first one in my Ipsy bag. So when I saw the two cute ones TheBalm had, I snatched them up too. I would never buy these at full price so I was very happy they were in the sale.
Crease, Love, and Happiness Brush - ($24.50 - on sale for $12) According to the website, "The larger end defines your crease and applies eye shadow, while the small end provides a soft, natural lining to your lower lashes."
If I had bought this retail, I would have spent $143. I got these on sale for $71 plus tax and shipping. You can also get Hautelook as an app on your phone and they will send you e-mails to let you know what sales are coming soon.
