hmm, got my sept box. I am missing one item and they sent me two items that were on my dislike list (I disliked every option that dealt with CREAM and I totally disliked highlighters)
I got a cream primer and a gold highlighter eyeshadow
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Shame really, I like the blush( be a bombshell raspberry tart) and the lip pot (simply beautiful) they sent me, the eye liner is meh, too light silvery and watery (cailyn liquid eyeliner in silver shimmer) - but whatever. If the eyeliner was the only thing that was meh, I would have loved this box.
I've asked them to send me out my missing item and also if they can replace the items that I said I disliked with things I like/love. Otherwise, this whole box is going back.
What is so ironic is that the primer was the most expensive thing in my box. Sigh.

I hear what you are saying about the boxes. I got 3 months of makeup boxes and 2 jewelry boxes. I ended up sending the 2 jewelry boxes box they were bad and nothing I had picked in my selections. I kept one of the 3 makeup boxes the first one. The second and third one were repeats of the same items I got the first month. plus they gave the things I disliked which kind of made me feel they didn't care. I have no clue as to why they ask you to choose things if it doesn't really matter.
Wantable has only ever sent me one thing I had "disliked" on my quiz and that was something I had just changed from like to dislike prior to that box shipping out. If they are continually sending things you disliked on the quiz, then contact them and they will make it right. It could be a glitch causing you answers to show up wrong on their end or something. I'm not going to lie and say I have loved everything they have ever sent me but they have defiinitely chosen things according to my profile and I've had more hits than misses by far. Their customer service is amazing and I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a day to hear back from them when I've contacted them about an issue.

they made it right!! they sent me out colors that were perfect! Since this was my first box, there wasn't anything that I had changed on my profile. I have now - I guess shimmer shadows can mean highlighters, so I will go matte all the way.
I hope that this was just a glitch, because there were some really glaring dislikes (cream, highlighter, sheer lip colors, bright blush - I did like the lip color, even though it was sheer and I did like the blush, even though it was really BRIGHT - I can tone it down). Funny how the only thing that they got right was the eyeliner, which I hated the color on me - I am pale and a light shimmery eyeliner in silver - you just cannot see it!!
I am not sure how they are matching up skin tones, as they don't ask that up front....
their customer service is really amazing and I hope my box was just mixed up with someone else's profile

The rundown:
- Lise Watier Solo Eyeshadow in Aubergine - Gorgeous plummy taupe shade. This one will see a lot of use!
- Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow in Divine - Looks more blue in the pan but looks more silver on application. Love it!
- Cailyn Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner in Silver Shimmer - SO happy to see something other than black eyeliner!! Love this metallic silver!
- Lise Watier Hydra Shine Lip Stain in Fuschia - A magic marker for your lips! I haven't tried it on my lips yet but I love the color. I have a feeling it's very drying but I think it will pair well with the glosses I received from Lip Factory this month.
- WhipHand Cheek Flash in Wanting - I believe this shade was made exclusively for Wantable. It's a very shimmery peach color. Comes on a bit strong so I will have to use a light touch when applying. Very pretty!
- LAQA & Co. Nail Polish in Greedy Guts - The perfect cherry red! I think this is my next pedicure color!
- Skiin Instant Skin Tightener & Line Filler sample
- Total value: $96.00

Does anyone know if Wantable does something special for your birthday month? I'd like to skip a month but I'd hate to miss out on something special.
My September box was a little disappointing. I only got 4 items and a sample. I'll definitely use everything, and they're all nice products. I think I might have to spice up my profile so that I get a little more color. Between Ipsy and Wantable, I'm getting overloaded with taupe eyeshadow and black mascara.

It's been a bit since I ordered a box, but I ordered one tonight. Hoping for colored eyeliners, pretty multi colored polishes....I don't know what else. Just no black mascara, I hope! I'm mascara'd out between all my subs, L'oreal compensations, and my lash bash!

I don't think I got anything special on my birthday, but my that was also around the time I got my first box, so that might have had something to do with it too. It would be nice to get an extra birthday gift in the box though!

I "disliked" mascara on my profile. I have everything set very specifically and I adjust it every month to mix things up. So far, this method has gotten me some killer boxes.

See, I don't want to dislike all mascara because I would LOVE another colored one (they sent me a blue one in my last box) but I disliked all the other options, so hopefully!

I had the same idea when I first signed up for the makeup box. I had "dramatic" & "color" chosen and they sent me brown mascara, which is neither of those things. I've had it set to dislike ever since! Perhaps I'll try again and see what happens.

If I get a black this time I will dislike all. I don't have a brown mascara so I guess I would be okay with that? Maybe. I've never used one! I'm a blonde naturally so you'd think I'd have tried it, but nope...

i got my box! Pics tonight or tomorrow. I got:
Brazen blush Frenzy (shimmery coral)
Brazen eyeshadow in Wicked (emerald)
Michael Marcus eyeliner in Midnight (navy)
Japonesque foundation brush
and the Lisa Watier samples.
The blush and shadow are pretty! Not sure about the eyeliner...the color is nice, but it seems kind of hard. I'll see what I can do with it tonight. So happy to get that brush, I don't have one like it!

Apparently the eyeshadow is a new product. They don't have any shadows on their website yet. I'm dying to try Brazen!

It's super pretty! I love loose shadows, I am going to try to swatch it when it's light out (the lighting in my room is super yellow).

Here are pics I took of my box before I left for work today! I still need to swatch them.
Brazen is a new brand to me, and I'm excited to try it. I've used a few Michael Marcus items before and liked them okay, but this pencil seems a bit hard...I'll see if I can soften it up, though!
