Wantable - new quarterly subscription

[mjreynolds32]

They have brown mascara under neutrals - I'm pretty sure that the "dramatic" and "natural" categories includes blacks and crowns but I think if you love color and dislike everything else after you like or love mascara you can assure you'll only get something pretty.  That's what I'm hoping for and how my profile is currently set.  I'll let you know if I get a wicked awesome color in my October box.  I would love to try a pink or bright color but I don't want to spend loads to find out I look crazy in it!

In my last box before this one (a few months ago) I got a pretty blue Cailyn mascara, hopefully they still have some for you guys. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the swatches! I NEED that blush!

The swatches are lovely - That emerald green is so gorgeous.  I hope I get a Cailyn color mascara.  I tried their gel liner in plum and really liked it so a mascara sounds great.  I am super excited for my October box because I know they set aside a Besame' lip glaze for me so I'll love the box this time!

the black licorice?  That is an amazing gloss - I have it and just love it.

so I got a wantable box in July to try it out....

I got:

- d'vine 9 mascara in brown - I was dying to try a brown mascara since I have thick long black lashes and wanted something a bit more subtle - I love this mascara cause it's wet and conditioning but it definitely smudges but the brush is oh-so-soft and the packaging screams luxury....the only mascara I use out of the 13+ tubes sitting in my drawer

- face stockholm matte eyeshadow in liberty - looove this. It's identical to the skin colour on my eyelids and I love using this to cover my oily lids. It's super pigmented, soft, scent-free and is clearly very high quality. Just wish i had more for when I run out.

- brown eyeliner in lavera - again I really wanted a good quality brown liner so i chose this colour - OMG this is the best liner I have ever used, soo soft and smooth and a little pressure gives even gorgeous rich soft brown colour. love it!

- custom colours 3 - cheek and lip tint in simply beautiful - a brown burgundy tint that is very nice! the texture is a bit drier than the nyx cream blushes but i love the colour and quality of this...

I've skipped august, and september but waiting to see how nice october is before I order because I dont need anything right now but am dying to try a lise watier product

It totally was. I've not had a bad box from them but I have totally loved my last two in particular.

My October box shipped yesterday,should have it Monday!!

 

[biancardi]

my box shipped today - should get it friday!!  I am so excited!

 

[biancardi]

I got my box today!

Whip Hand Cosmetics Cheek Flash in Biased  - a little shimmery pinky-peach color.  This is not my normal color I would purchase, but that is the whole point of getting a box made for you, right?  I will wear it as a light cheek is going to be needed with the next two products

Beseme Cherry Red lipstick!!!  A RED lipstick?? But this is a beautiful DARK red lipstick, not bright.  The term "cherry red" is the darker red of a cherry, not some bright red.  I love it!!
 

MiA BelleZZa Luxe Rouge Lipstick in Mulberry - wow - a beautiful maroon colored lipstick.  I guess I hit the jackpot for dark lippies this month after last month's disastrous sheer lip color - lol

Then I got Michael Marcus eyeshadow in flawless - which is very similar to my replacement last month with birthday suit by be a bombshell.  However, I use these matte light colors as a base all the time, and they are the first eyeshadows that I always have to replace.   Maybe next month they will send me some nice fall/winter colors?

Japonesque travel smudger brush - I love it.  It is so cute and as I am now both far & near sighted (lol - in other words, blind as a bat), I need a shorter brush to put on my makeup when I look into my magnifying mirror.  A longer brush means I have to hold the mirror back further and I cannot see!! hahaha

box total 97.50

All in all - love my wantable box this month.

That's an awesome box! I hope I get at least one of those lipsticks!

I really need to skip Wantable this month since I upgraded one of my BB accounts to a yearly. But when I saw the box with the Besame Violet Powder and the pink kabuki brush, boy was I tempted!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

I have another box on the way soon...I'm bad! I don't even know what I'm hoping for!

 

[Seola]

I'm beginning to get very disappointed in Wantable.  I started out getting new, different products.  Things I'd never even seen before (like light up lip color).  The last two months, I got two very hideous shades of Besame lipstick.  I'm fair skin, my profile is the classic type beauty with a lot of neutrals. Last month, the lipstick was DEEP maroon.  It would only look good on a black skin tone - all lighter ones would make them look like death.  This month, I got a hideous Barbie pink that has a color of a neon sign on my lips.  There is no makeup scheme that would come close for that.  The eyeliner was broke off, but it doesn't even draw - it's worse than cheap drugstore pencils that are expired and dried out.

The last two nail polishes have been major misses.  I got a steel gray (which did light up, bonus) but that is no where close to my profile and it's absurdly thick but thin in color.  Takes 3 coats and with 2 hours between each coat, it still didn't dry.

As much as these say for retail prices, even paying $36 both months, I felt ripped off pretty good.  The first 3 boxes were wonderful.  But yet again, I got another Caitlin product which makes 5 out of 5 boxes (eye creme to hold makeup on... which stinks worse than Halloween makeup and just as hard to put on, and ended up giving me clown face because it was a very opaque white).

I have to say, I'm slowly getting more and more disappointed with it as time goes on, the products feel cheaper/dried-out and none of them match my profile at all.  I've done two tweaks and neither have helped my boxes target me better.  I have a whole box of stuff I want to put up here of items I got and I know I won't come close to recouping what I've spent on the last two boxes.

It was very promising and I was certainly willing to pay $36 a month to build a makeup kit since I had almost none when I started.  But out of what I have now, only about 1/2 is what I want to keep.  I can match that at department stores prices for what I paid for a box. (Wantable also had two items in each of the last two boxes that were listed as more expensive retail than what my stores in Florida offer so I was sad to see the "deal" was also being fluffed this time.)

When I get some time, I'll list out the last couple of months boxes, but my displeasure reigns supreme and it's definitely not one of the cheaper boxes out there.
