Wantable - new quarterly subscription

[icedone]

Well, this is my second Wantable box in a row that will be going back! I packed it up already, so no pictures, but I got a FACE Stockholm lipstick in Pride (dark burgundy), a Cheek Flash blush from Whip Hand Cosmetics in Beachhouse, the Japonesque foundation brush, and Mia BelleZZa Mineral Shadow Duo in Moca. The blush was actually great, a loose shimmery bright pink, but the cost to keep it was $18 for only 0.10 oz and I didn't like it THAT much.

What is up with Wantable picking these horrible dark shades for me? After last month's brown Manna Kadar blush disaster, I re-did my quiz a bit....and got an even darker lipstick. I may give Wantable one more shot. I do appreciate them letting us return things. I really like FACE Stockholm though, but I would prefer to have a color that actually works for me and honors my selections.

I talked my sister into ordering a box (she just bought a one-off) and she had color problems with one item too.  She's got light red hair and they sent her a brick red eyebrow powder.  I'm not sure anyone has brick red eyebrows, so it had me sort of going

  She pointed out to me that they don't have a hair color question in the survey.  As thorough as they are, I had overlooked that fact.  They should add that as well as a complexion color question to avoid the too dark/too light problems with color.

I just sent the suggestion to Wantable that they add a skin tone and hair color question to the survey.  Hopefully they will do that.  I think it would help them narrow down the shade choices more appropriately.  We'll see if they respond.  Their customer service is usually great.

I have to reiterate how much I love this sub.  It's my absolute favorite.

What is that neat little 6 magical shades thing I see in the pictures? Looks like eyeshadow samples as your bonus item maybe? If so, I am soooooo very jealous. I got a pretty good box, but it seems like my sample was something lame--facial oil maybe. Would've loved eyeshadow samples.

I love love the peices you got! I'm still waiting for mine. It said delivered and it wasn't =[ hope my box is as good as yours. Why was there only 3 peices? Isn't it 4-5 or did they lower it again?

I'm not sure but most boxes I have seen so far had only 3 - 4 pieces. The quality seems to be better than when I first joined in April so that may have something to do with it. The total value of this box is $86, although I disagree that the Ingrid bracelet is worth $28.

Canceling Wantable Jewelry/Accessories. My box was so very wrong for me and disregarded my preferences, just like my makeup box.

Last month they sent me a tangerine lipstick, I complained and they said - "Make sure you have orange as dislike!" - I did. This month they sent me a very very dark, deep red-plum lipstick. I have all of that on dislike too. What's up, Wantable??? Why does everyone else get good boxes?

If anyone is interested I just found a box called rocksbox, it's a jewelry sub that's $20 a month and the price decreases the longer you sign up. However the first month is free if you use the code friendsrock. It's a loan sub with the option to buy at discounted rates. It sounds interesting but I would forget to return them every month and I'm not big on jewelry subs. Might be for someone else though.

I've signed in a few times and my preferences were changed. It was really bizarre. I try to check the quiz now before my box order processes. So maybe that's why? I've never gotten an item that I disliked before. That would be really frustrating.

That happened to me once, too (the quiz re-set).

I've checked the quiz like 4 times and it hasn't changed! I'm just beyond frustrated.

Have you contacted Customer Service?  After all, if you have them look at your survey and they sent you the wrong thing, they are supposed to fix that.  Also, if you don't like your box you can return it for a full refund.  That's one of the things I like about Wantable - no risk.  Email them and see if they can help you get the situation straightened out.

I feel almost the same way. They keep sending me prices not suited to me or prices that are cheap and either arrive broken or break fast. And they lowered the amount of products in the box the quality has gotten worse but the price has staid the same. I have the jewelry sub. I can justify 4-5 pieces for 36. But not 3-4.

LOVE that polish color!
