Wantable is brand new to the subscription box scene. It is a monthly box, but it is way better than most. Wantable has mostly full-sized products with 1 or so deluxe samples. It is also customized just for you! Lots of other subscriptions give you a survey asking your preferences, but rarely do you really get a box full of products that is truly what you are interested in. Most subscriptions give the same exact products in every box to every one. Of the boxes I have seen from Wantable through other bloggers, each one is different. Really remarkable. Something else that is surprising: If you don’t love it, return it!
There is no way I would return my first Wantable Beauty Box. It is filled to the brim with just the kinds of things I would buy myself!
I am going to start out with the only item that isn’t full-sized. It is from Echo Vie. It is their Organic Body Oil. It is made up of organic jojoba and seame oils and once absorbed it will restore moisture, keeping your skin youthful and radiant. It is infused with 10 oils that naturally uplift, relieve fatigue, stress and anxiety. It can be used after a shower or during a massage, as a bath oil, or even in your hair. Aromatherapy and topical treatment! Yes, please!
The first full-size product in the box is the MiA BelleZZa Summer Love Eye Crayon in Argento ($17.99). This eyeshadow crayon is super creamy and swipes on so easily. The color is pigmented and dries down so that it doesn’t move around and crease. It doesn’t dry up the eyelid, it actually keeps it moisturized.
The color I have is a sort of iridescent-peach-pink. The closest thing I have in my collection is MAC Paradisco. The two would probably be absolutely amazing layered together.
One of the coolest things I got in this box is the Lise Watier Haute Couleur High Coverage Lip Lacquer in Rouge Catwalk ($22.00). The name is truly long but the product is amazing.
The color I received is a gorgeous red shade. It has high shine and intense color. When I wore it to work a couple days ago I got a lot of attention. I am not one to wear bold lips out but this gloss/lacquer feels so nice on the lips that I barely realized I was wearing color. Felt like a balm.
Now for the REALLLLLY cool part. Say it is dark out and you need to touch up your lips but don’t have any place with adequate lighting… This lip lacquer has a built in LED light that pops on every time you open it. The container has a mirror built into the side, so you literally need NOTHING else.
How awesome is it?
Funny enough, the actual wand looks like a light saber. :)
A brush is included in the box from Japonesque. I received the Travel Smudger Brush ($14.50). It is actually the exact shape of brush that I love but have a hard time finding. I love using this size brush to apply an inner corner highlight, line the lashes with an eyeshadow, smudge out liner, work in a dark color in my crease. It is honestly a perfect brush.
Cailyn Cosmetics is also represented in my box with their Line Fix Gel Pencil in Charcoal ($17.00). It is a gorgeous silvery charcoal grey.
I am so clumsy and dropped my eyeliner on the ground while I was trying to photograph it. You can see the dot at the bottom of the photo above. It once had a lovely sharp point. Even though it is sad when you mess up that perfect product before you get a chance to play with it, it can be sharpened back into a point. I just wanted to whine a little about my clumsiness.
Above you can see two swatches. One isn’t blended/smudged and the other is. I love this pencil! Seriously! It isn’t a color I owned beforehand, but so glad I do now. It even makes a nice base for other shadows.
The last item in my box is a FACE Stockholm Nail Polish in #12 ($12.00). This formula is 3-free meaning it is made without DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde. In the picture above, I only did one coat. It is perfect with two. I am not a huge fan of the shade I received, but in the survey I marked that I liked neutral nail polish shades and this one is sort of neutral. My fault.
If I could say that every subscription box I have ever received only contained 1 product I didn’t like then I would probably still be subscribed to them all. I am not, though. I cancelled most of my beauty subscriptions because I got tired of receiving fragrance samples and discount codes.
Wantable is really great. I have absolutely no complaints. The survey was a nice experience, the box came super quick, and the products made me happy. The box runs $36 a month and my box is worth $83.49. Very good value.
