Wantable - new quarterly subscription

[neblinosa]

the bonus item is self tanning lotion. I got the same thing. probably wouldn't have minded if it wasn't for the fact that I'm black. I contacted them to suggest they add skin tone to the quiz. I got a reply saying that they are working on making that change.

Eesh. I hope they're using a different one in August -- I hate self-tanner. I agree with you on the skin-tone quiz!

My July Wantable Jewerly box... 



Tiburon Necklace



Amanda Bracelet, Kimberly Ring, Harlow Ring



Kimberly Ring



Harlow Ring

• Tiburon Necklace - I love this one! It will definitely be seeing a lot of wear!

• Amanda Bracelet - Love this as well but sadly it is too big for my wrist. As soon as I drop my arm, the weight of the bracelet sends it plummeting to the floor. 

• Kimberly Ring - Fancier than I would normally wear but I am a sucker for a gorgeous purple gem. I'll bring this one out when I need to "class it up" a little. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

• Harlow Ring - This ring has my name written all over it! My every day rings are mixed metal pyramid studs & spiked bands. Harlow fits right in! Love it!

I was sad that the Amanda Bracelet was too big but I have worked out an exchange with an awesome CS rep named, of all things, Amanda. She has agreed to exchange the bracelet for the Horton Necklace that I returned in my June box. That was the only piece I loved from that box so I am over the moon! Here is Horton for those that weren't here for my box review:



Why yes, I am the kind of girl that will rock a deer head around her neck!

That looks like a great box and I love the last necklace!

Can anyone tell me if you are still allowed to return a box after you have sampled/tried something? I got my first box and really disliked it, but I thought the FACE Stockholm lipstick might be worth keeping. I tried it and it looked awful - it is a tangerine/pink shade. Can I still return the box even though I tried it out?

I don't think they let you return boxes of makeup after trying a product, but I could be wrong. I'd check their website and either email them or write to them on FB if I couldn't find an answer through their site. I understand what you are saying, though. My first box had 2 lipsticks I thought I'd like ok, 1 eyeliner I thought was just 'meh,' a FACE eyeshadow I disliked, and a blush I really liked. After trying the lipsticks, I realized the one I thought I would like most was too orangey for me and the one I thought I'd like least was better, but still too bright. For $22 for the blush, I would have been better off just purchasing it directly from 3 Cosmetics. Oh well. I am still trying to find a good gloss to put over the lipsticks to make them look better on me. My initial impression of FACE S. is not good, but I pretty much adore 3 C. It can be very discouraging to think a makeup product looks great in the container, only to realize it does not work with your body chemistry for whatever reason. I'm still glad they take returns at all, though, as I don't know of another sub service which does. I think next time I will look at the color a bit longer (and be sure to take it out in the sunlight too) before using it if I find the box somewhat questionable overall.

Lolley--I love the necklace and the fact that you got matching earrings. If it were me, I'd prefer smaller hoops and the fringe style on the left isn't really me. But still, overall, I think it is really cute. What styles did you pick? I said I liked Classic, loved Glam, and liked Seasonal (I think) but this looks more like a 'rock style' to me. If that's the kind of stuff they consider 'rock,' I might should change my profile. That said, I just now caved to try the makeup box, so I'm not going to jump into the jewelry just yet. All the spikey necklaces I see worry me, but I'm thinking that may be 'boho' so I did say I hated 'boho.'

Hi!

Sorry for the late reply.

I loved Glam and Classic.

Liked Quirky.

Disliked the rest.

Hope this helps /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I know I said yes to Glam and Classic, not sure about Quirky though. But I keep buying extra makeup boxes. I'll never get around to subbing for the jewelry, lol!

How long should it take to get the return label and instructions after you fill out the return form on the site?  It's been a few hours, and i'm still waiting for that email.  I got the impression from the form that it should be instantaneous, but I thought I would check here before I sent them email just in case there's a next-business-day turnaround time.  (The box I received completely missed the mark for me, so it definitely needs to go back.  I'm now on the fence about whether I want to give it another shot.)

(And, yes, I already checked my spam filter.  It's not there.)

Ive gotten mine right away. I personally would give it a day before contacting them. just make sure you completed the return process. In the order history, the status of that order should say "awaiting return"

Cool.  It doesn't say "Awaiting return."  It says "View return," and it has all of the reasons I'm sending this stuff back already filled in on that page, and then there's a "Track return" link that doesn't go anywhere.  I'll hold off until Monday to contact them.

I received my July makeup box today! I'm really pleased with the colors and product selection.

 

[Dayo Steph]

I'm contemplating canceling. I'm torn, because last month they finally got it right, so maybe one more month, but I have to cut one and this is the most expensive.

It's hard cutting subs down, isn't it? Sigh. I was trying to narrow mine down recently too and it came down to the most expensive ones, this and PS. While PS is fun, etc, Wantable is fun AND useful to me. They've built up such an impressive makeup collection for me and I like how they keep intro'ing new makeup every month. LOL I used to say Ipsy was my only "must keep forever" sub but Wantable is now right at the top of the list too. Wish I could do a jewelry box each month too, or alternate, but I love the makeup so much I just can't take time off LOL

My next box is on the way right now and I can't wait to see what I get in it!

I was really frustrated with my first two boxes, the colors were all wrong for me, but last month was great. If I continue to get awesome stuff then I maaaay keep it in the mix, but yeah, it's a tough choice.  I've recently gone from 19(bad!) boxes and now i'm down to 14, which is still waaay waaay waay too many.

I just signed up for Wantable and will get the August box as my first one.  I'm really excited about it and I like the fact that you can give them a thorough idea of what you do and don't want.  I have high hopes for this one!

 

[msladyday]

I need to use your responses for the Jewelry box... wow! I wish that was my box!  I am drooling over that necklace and those rings!

I was going to tell you what I chose in my profile but they have totally changed the choices! I know I had "loved" classic and rock & roll and I think I left everything else on "dislike".

I adore Horton! I think he's my favorite thing from Wantable so far!
