I received my second Wantable box on Thursday. I got the Bessame lipstick in a bright pink shade. I really, really want to like it, because I like the packaging, and the feel and taste of it, and it's really long lasting, but the color is so bright. I've tried toning it down by putting that hideous nude J Cat lipstick from Ipsy's September bag, and that works, but the nude wears off almost right away. I may have to just get used to the color-it doesn't look terrible on me, it's just brighter than what I normally wear, so it's not a total miss.
However, i got some blush from Be A Bombshell that is such a horrible color, there is no way I could make it work. it's such a bright reddish-pink (although it's supposed to be coral!) that even a tiny amount makes me look like a clown. The packaging feels and looks very cheap, too. I've never heard of this brand-is it supposed to be a good one?
I received two products from Cailyn (i got blush from them last month)-brown eyebrow gel and eye primer. Not impressed with the primer at all-my eyeshadow creased two hours after applying it. I may just use it as a concealer. I received a Manna eye primer last month-it works slightly better, but feels a little too creamy to prime. I haven't formed an opinion on the eye brow gel yet.
I also got a navy eyeliner. I have brown/hazel eyes, so navy blue is not generally a color I wear on my eyes, but who knows, maybe I'll try it when I'm feeling adventurous! I'm usually pretty conservative with eye makeup. Any tips on wearing navy with brown eyes?
I really want to like Wantable-it's fun to get full sized products, and I like that it is all makeup products, but when I can't use most of them, it's not worth $36 a month (especially since hubby is a government employee, and the shutdown is causing us to really be careful with how we spend our money). I tweaked my profile, made sure that I didn't select anything bright for blushes, and told them I didn't like eyeliners, so I don't get anymore unusual colors.
I'm thinking of switching to Glossy Box or Blush-how do they compare to Wantable?
