Wantable - new quarterly subscription

[Heather Hicks]

Got my first box today. I hate to admit that it is pretty doggone good. Not over the top in love with it, but just about good enough that I'm struggling with the thought of returning it. Sigh...So did not want to be in this position, lol!

Does Wantable have any way to review products? I'm not looking for a point system like Birchbox or anything. I'd just like to provide feedback is all. 

Here is what I got:

Face Stockholm cream lipstick in Summer ($20)

Mia Bellezza eyeliner pencil in Indigo ($16.50)
Three custom color cheek tint (kind of dark plum in the pan?) ($22)
Mia Bellezza lipstick in Vanna ($18.50) Face Stockholm matte eyeshadow in Treasure ($20) Frownies eye gels for a bonus   Total value = $97
 
I like the Vanna lipstick and custom color blush the best. Didn't like the eye pencil when I thought it was black from looking at it, but now I know it has a deep dark color, I might like it. I'm nervous the Summer lipstick will be too over the top bright. I like bright, just not quite that bright. As for the eyeshadow, it is the clunker for me. I don't do blue. But this is pretty enough in the pan, and would go with the eyeliner well enough, that I'm tempted to try a blue smokey eye. Crazy! No one else could have gotten me to try that but Wantable, lol!
 
Still, disappointed as I wanted the blush/lip combo product from Besame. I'd also like to have tried the violet translucent powder from them. Is Wantable like Birchbox? Could I see them in another box? I'd love to see what others thought about what I got. Thanks!

they have great cs and a good idea so I'm not surprised with the many positive experiences. I had the same experience the first time though - got two boxes for me and one for my sister and out of the three shipping was at least 7-10 days for all of them and the makeup boxes didn't fit us (my sister got warm toned stuff, she's definitely a cool - I got cool toned and I'm a warm), the jewelry box was nothing special and not for me.

so it really is still up for improvements - survey wise, product wise. i wouldn't discount bad experiences as flukes, it just needs to be figured out. totally different experience the second time for me though - just one makeup box and not only did it arrive in two days my box was 90% perfect for me. although i still got an eyeshadow that in no way suited my skintone.

so for now I'd say positive but still holding out to see how it continues before I get another

I've been with them for 4 months now. I've actually bought a few extra boxes because I love the make up quality. I've never received a duplicate anything except different colors of shadow and mascara. They are amazing to keep track after that many boxes. I always get my box within days too. I'm not sure how you've had such a rough time but I canceled glossy box and a ipsy to get this. Just got anoth July box with the greatest cheek tint and matching lipgloss from Three Custom Color Specialist. This is sold as a set on their website for $44 and I got Face by Stockholm shadow($22) , an eyeliner and a couple of other things. I feel my money is getting me a steal for good quality makeup. They seem to be adding more name brands so I think youse want to give them a go again. Nothing but wonderful experiences on my end.

I have been so busy that I forgot to mention I received my first box in June and I am sold.

29 Cosmetics D'Vine Mascara

Manna Kadar Transfix Eyeliner Black

Besame Cosmetics Crimson Cream Rouge

Three Custom Color Eye Shadow Cool Sage

Cala Retractable travel Lip Brush

Apothederm Serum Sample

To be honest I have yet to work my way through the products yet but I am in 

 with the Besame rouge.  At first I thought it was going to be insane since it is bright in the tin but I have received compliments wearing it as a lip stain every single time.  It is definitely my go-to lip color right now. 

I am looking forward to my July box which sadly will not ship until the 20th.  

I also received a Jewelry box for June and let's just say the return label has been printed and it is ready to be returned.  I will give it another go (maybe 2 more times before I might end up cancelling that box).  I must say, I think it is great that they have a return policy, especially for the price, which is why I signed up in the first place.

I got my box today! I'm just having a bad sub box day because when I opened my eyeliner the tip fell off. So now it is all smooshed back together. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyway I'm not sure that they followed my profile very well since I did get 2 items that I dislike (mascara and a highlighter), but I did get the polish I really wanted. I'm not sure I'm going to keep them though.

You should definitely email them and complain about the dislikes and the faulty product. They have good customer service; I bet you'll get replacements.

I emailed them about the broken liner, but as far as them not matching I wasn't really complaining, more like just stating that they didn't. How I look at it is they are a sub box, so I'm not expecting to love everything. (Plus is it sad that I love the highlighter, one of the items that I said I didn't want, much more then the eyeshadow pencil which is something that I loved on the quiz?)

Pics!

Like I said I'm pretty happy with this box, just not like in love. Especially not for $36.

I still think you should mention the matching to them (even if you don't want replacements) -- one of the things you're paying for is a tailored box! That's a big selling box for them, and they say "you will never get the things that you dislike." You might get a free product or code out of it!. They've never sent me a "dislike" item, which makes me think someone screwed up your box.

Yesterday I was shocked to receive my first Wantable makeup box barely 48 hours after I ordered it!  Very impressive.  In my box:

Three Custom Color Simply Beautiful Lip Gloss Pot (a like on my preferences)

Three Custom Color Simply Beautiful Cheek Tint (a like)

Makeup Cherimoya RAW Volume Mascara ( a like)

MiA BelleZZa Luxe Creme Gel Liner in Blu (a love)

FACE Stockholm Matte Shadow in Joy (a love)

Frownies Eye Gels

I got my two loves (eyeliner and shadow) and none of my dislikes.  These products are all absolutely lovely and I'm looking forward to using them!  The colors chosen all reflected my preferences very well.  Looking forward to next month's box!

I tried out my pot of the MiA gel liner (blue) today. I really liked it! I used my MAC eyeliner brush and easily achieved a pigmented cat eye.

Jealous! Joy is a much prettier color than the Treasure I got. Purple YAH! Blue, well, it makes me blue, haha!

I think if I had it to do over again, I just might have sent my box back...maybe. The cream blush is the only thing I think I"m going to love. The Vanna lipstick that looked so wonderful (like a soft medium pink) in the tube, turned kind of orangey coral on me. I added a brown gloss on top and it looked better, but not great. The other lipstick that appeared too bright pink actually looked better on me. I toned it down (just to darken it up) with a dark cherry gloss from Lorac. Liked the combo of that lipstick and gloss better too. I have only swatched the shadow and liner so far. I don't have any dark navy liners and no blue shadow outside of palettes, so I guess I'll give them a try. If not, in to the trade box they will go.

I changed my profile drastically to get only blushes and lip products as loves and tools as a like. I'd far rather they concentrate on giving me great blushes and lip products (which are probably more costly), plus tossing in some cheaper tools, than to add in eyeshadows in colors I don't like. Yes, I adore my eye products, but for expensive full sized stuff, I think I figured out that I'd rather pick my own. I also said no lipsticks--only stains, pots, sheers, and shimmers. I also focused on red since, even though pinks are my favorites, I have so many of them that I want to see if I can branch out more. Hoping to get the Besame Crimson Rouge in my next order and/or their balm in a pot. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to try to be pickier in my evaluation of the box and send it back if needed. Now watch them send me something I *adore* and other stuff I *hate.* It will be a tough call then, and may depend on how much it would cost to order that product I *adore* all by itself with shipping, haha!

These are my past two wantable boxes. I some how accidentally marked that I loved eyelashes and I forgot to mark that I wasn't a fan of lip gloss...I'm a little picky about the pigmentation and goopiness. I think I'm going to take brows off the quiz now cause those two brow products will take me forever to use up. I still need to play with the quiz a bit but the value is pretty good. I've used the highlighter, cheek tint, lipstick, eyeshadow, and shadow stick several times already. I'll probably never touch the gloss and lashes though. I wish the gloss was a lip cream in the same shade.

Erk.  I'm freakishly tired, Glamour Doll Eyes did not have the update I had been anticipating this week, and chances are high I will be working at least four hours of overtime tomorrow (the boss's estimate was for four to five hours with three people, and there will be two of us starting at 9am with a third possibly coming in at 2pm, but I don't know how long we will end up working), so I went for it.  Just one box and not a subscription, though, because I want to try it before committing (if I decide it's not for me, I'll probably forget to cancel if I go ahead and subscribe).  Here's hoping for lots of bright color, plenty of shimmer, no neutrals, no liquid eyeliner, no bronzer, and no mascara!

Yup! I had the exact same reaction with my first box. They really are quick. I just hope they can keep things up as they grow. If they really hand pick the boxes, growth is going to be a BIG challenge for them.

Sorry you have to work, but glad it allowed you to treat yourself. Btw, I too said no bronzer and no mascara! LOL

Loved my July Wantable box. I was so thrilled to get two different awesome polishes. Probably my favorite Wantable yet.
