It is a bit heavy, but not unbearably so, compared to other large metal watches I've felt. It's heavier than my usual watches, but it's also the kind of watch I'd wear to an event or something and not necessarily every day to work, you know? It feels really nice, good quality.

Totally. It looks lovely; definitely a great accessory. All of the pieces I've been seeing from Wantable Accessories look like good quality; my only concern is if the style is going to jive with mine! I loved your selections though - did you have any dislikes on the quiz?

I had many dislikes! I said no to gold, bracelets, rings, earrings, and several of the styles including classic, glam, etc.

Not because I necessarily dislike those things, but because I was wanting specifics (silver necklaces, watches, scarves, that are edgy, rocker, mix n match, etc basically) at that particular time, to round out my collection. The quiz is nice and thorough like the makeup one is, definitely worth giving a shot!

I'll try that strategy with the accessories! Thank you! (Also love their return policy; it's impossible to go wrong.)

 
Has anyone checked out Wantable's holiday boxes? I think they look pretty cool and I'm planning on getting one! :)

They must have recently posted those! They do look pretty cool; which one are you getting?

no, and I could not really find any reviews.. it looks to be a mineral eyeshadow that rolls on?  Not sure.  The monet colors are really pretty....  But I have lots of colors similar to that and nothing else in the holiday box (except the sleeping masks -lol) tempt me

I wouldn't mind getting the monet set in my normal beauty box, however.

It sounds familiar, but I'm not sure. I think I'm going to get the Starlight Soiree box, you?

I ordered the Starlight Soirée box yesterday! Can't wait to get it!
 
I am a bit concerned now about their descriptions.  When I signed up in september, they stated "4 to 6 full-size premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences. "

Now the description states "3 to 4 full-sized premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences."

That is a HUGE difference.  I emailed them, because that isn't what I signed up for.  the 4 is the least amount, not the "most". 

Did anyone get an email from them about the change in this service?

 
btw - update your quiz!  Mine defaulted back to all "likes" on products :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They have also added a skin tone to the quiz and expanding the eyeshadow selection.

I did that and my second box was a hit!!  They do keep track of what products you got in the past and what you don't want.

also, you can return the full box to them (even if you used -swatched - the items) on their dime and they will refund you.  You can then request another box and they will not send you out those items.

they will also do partial replacements, which is what they did to me. 
Well, I waited it out for November and not only did I get MORE crappy Michael Marcus stuff (two in this box) but just four items.  Of that, the stated value from Wantable was $70.50.  Of this, $44 was the two lip products from Michael Marcus (the aforementioned junk eyeliner than won't even swatch).  So the other 2 products were just $26.50.  So not only did they drop how much you get, they yet again sent the same brand.  In 6 boxes, I have mostly Michael Marcus and Caitlyn products.

Online, I found these items on my own for a mere $59.95, much lower than their $70.50 and doesn't even come close to using new customer discounts or coupon codes, etc.  I'm willing to bet I could get all these items with codes for roughly $35.

It started out oh so great, it became a HUGE dud and stopped paying attention to my profile altogether.  I'll post pictures soon, but the kicker?  Not only does the photo not match my box, but the great intro with all the great things they have for November?  I didn't get a single one.

I get returns are "easy" but I shouldn't have to want to return so many products.  Nor did I get notified they were going to send even less items when they charged me.

Edited to add:  Also doing some research on Michael Marcus, first - his personal site is atrocious.  Looks like Geocities.  I can only guess the pricing is arbitrary.  His items aren't even in stores, his "celebrities" section - is from a booth he set up as he mostly does makeup shows and I don't even recognize most of them.  But none of them are "wearing" his products.  I don't like the bait and switch here.  So Wantable putting these high priced, low quality items in the box has definitely helped to unsub.

 
I have a November makeup box coming on Monday, and now I'm wondering if I'll get a bunch of Michael Marcus, too. That's one brand I'm not too excited about :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I returned my October Wantable box primarily because the Michael Marcus lip liner was horrible and the rest was mediocre. I was going to give them another shot but I might wait a few months until they allow you to refine the quiz a little more and I can hear what others think of these changes. The returns are convenient but it's still a major letdown to get a bad box. 

In the meantime, the intimates box was fab and I'll be getting that again.

Can you share what items the intimates box has?

My Intimates box had four items: Coobie camisole (I wear it so often!), Coobie lace panty, Ongossamer panty, and Bella + Canvas tank top.

Oh, that looks like a good box! I will have to try it out! Thanks!
