Ruh roh, you all.  I just got an email from Wantable telling me that they were about to ship my September box.  It suggested if I wanted to make any changes to my preferences, I should do so.  I didn't, but I decided to review my preferences and it was a good thing I did because they had ALL defaulted back to "like".  I had to retake the survey to adjust them back to my true preferences.  So, if you don't want a box full of things you don't like, you may need to check your preferences.  I'm about to go contact them now about this issue.

I've emailed them and contacted them on Facebook.  My Accessories survey had also defaulted.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just set everything to "dislike" except for eyeshadow and certain shades of lipstick. I'm interested to see what shows up! I hope it's not a bunch of FACE Stockholm. I've been dying for some Besame but haven't received any yet. Overall, I like Wantable, and I'm interested to see what they come up with. I'm in the throes of product glut w/ mascara, eyeliner, blush, etc.

I'm glad to hear you were able to do this.  I've tried similar "tailoring" in the past and gotten a note along the lines of "we can't make a box with so many things "disliked" so please go like a few more items."  Let us know what happens!

 

[ohdahlia]

It went through with no problem! Also,  I sent an email asking if I might request a Besame product (since I haven't had the chance to try one), and I heard back really quickly. A nice customer service agent told me she'd "peeked in my box" and could confirm that I'd be receiving Besame. I am very pleased with Wantable ATM.

This is what I got for my September's box. I love it. I was really hoping to get something from Besame, Lise Watier and Brazen. So happy I did! The only thing I didn't care for was the Bombshell eyeshadow, but I really like everything else so I don't care that I'm not in love with it.

That is a nice box! I was not impressed with my last one. Hopefully, my next one is better.

Here's my September box!

I am so glad that I received Besame and NO FACE STOCKHOLM. I am really pleased with the lipstick. I am pleased with the eyeshadow brands, but not thrilled that Wantable sent me a color they've already shipped in the last two months (they keep sending me brown eyeshadow). I'll put both eyeshadows on my trade list, but overall . . . I'm pleased with this box. The Lisa Watier eyeshadow looks beautiful. If I wasn't drowning in brown, I'd be thrilled. The Be a Bombshell is a really pretty purple -- not exactly my style, but a good choice by Wantable re: my preference list.

The dislike-everything-but-lipstick-and-eyeshadow worked pretty well. I'm beginning to wonder if Wantable is kind of light on eyeshadow selection. I wish we could select specific colors that we like (or ranges) -- "neutral" and "color" are just too broad.



Here's what's included:

Lisa Watier Solo Eyeshadow Powder in Chocolat (slightly deeper than photo)

Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow in Showstopper (slightly brighter/more purple than photo)

Lisa Watier Lipstick in Sublime Tartan  (deeper pink than it looks in photo)

Mia BelleZZa Luxe Rouge Lipstick in Mulberry (brighter than photo)

Beame CLassic Lipstick in Red Noir (a little deeper than photo)

Your Besame lipstick looks fab.  Actually all your lipsticks are colors I would love. I wish more than anything that Wantable had a place where you could put company names on a love, like, dislike list.  When I did it I was swamped with brands I didn't care for and never seemed to get products from brands I knew I liked.  Even if you could choose just one "love" brand and one "dislike" brand I would be happy.  Then I wouldn't end up with a glut of Be a Bombshell products I was disappointed in and could guarantee myself one Manna Kadar product that would make the high price of the box worth the purchase.  

I am slightly confused by the picture in the box - it looks like it fell out of someone's box of sexy photos their ex was kind enough to return.  It also looks like it was taken on vacation after a horrible sunburn on the tops of her thighs caused the model to lounge around in a tank top and underwear for a week.  Is it an ad for something?

That actually is such a great idea. I wish we could have a section for like & dislikes with companies too. I have been dying to recieve something from Besame for months but it seems like I always recieve the same brands in every box. I was actually thinking about skipping nail some more new brands are introduced. It's a shame because they were one of my most favorite subs but the last few months have just been kind of meh. I am actually sending back this months box.

Ha! It's the Wantable Intimates Card. They stuck it in the top and I just left it there.

I love your ideas!

Are the Brazen products generally loose powder formulations?  If so, I may have to change my preferences to try one.

I'm glad that they let you only 'like" a couple of items. I will have to try that!

I love the noir red Besame Lipstick! It is such a great vampy, 1920's shade!

I think I need to go in and say I dislike lipstains. Got one in my September box and while I don't really dislike it I would prefer a lipstick or gloss. Stains are so drying. It is a brautiful color though.

Do you have any application tips? The unique shape = me getting it all over my face. It went on fine with a lip brush, but I 'm thinking about taking it with me for touch ups.

I love the chiseled shape of Besame lipsticks. I usually line my lips with the edge of the tip, and then fill it in with the flat side in order to preserve the sharper edge at the tip. For this shade I suggest a liner, since it is so deep, and it will make touch ups easier. I have Illamasqua medium pencil in Severe, which is a perfect match for Besame noir red. Liner on the left- lipstick on the right:

after 9 months plus of horrible boxes from birchbox, this month's was the last straw.  samhopem referred me to wantable as a better box and I cancelled birchbox and signed up for this.

I cannot wait to get my first box!!

I got my September Makeup box, which I liked and my September Accessories box has shipped (yay!), but I've put my next two boxes on skip.  Not because I want to,  but I needed to do some serious Fall clothes shopping and I try to stick to a budget in the fashion category.  So, Wantable has to hold off a month to make up for the clothes shopping frenzy I went on this weekend.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  At least I have the comfort of knowing I'm being fiscally responsible.  I'm glad they have the skip option.   But still, bleh! LOL
