Wantable Makeup Box March 2014

I recently found out about this subscription service and loved everything about it. Wantable.com has a subscription service that allows you to customize your box and what you would like to receive. They offer 3 boxes; Accessories, Makeup and Intimates. All products included in each box are full size! You can purchase a single non-subscription box for $40 or purchase a monthly subscription with an automated fee of $36, saving you $4 per box. I chose to try the makeup box for $40. I liked it so much that I also subscribed for the monthly service. You can change which box you want for the month (like switching from makeup to accessories) or skip a month if your funds are low or you don't really like or need any of of the products offered. It does seem a little pricey but considering everything is full sized and the products offered..I personally think the box is well worth it.


So for the month of March I received this awesome Makeup box:

The Knobs: 

- Liberty Republic SPELLBOUND nail polish in 'Elixer' (retails for $14)
- DEX New York Lipstick in 'Aapricot' (retails for $22)
- Michael Marcus Prime Foundation Brush (retails for $20)
- Girlactik Beauty Eyeliner Grey (retails for $19)

Total Box Value = $75



The Bobs:

Here is my personal customization chart:

What I love is in red, what I like is in blue and what I dislike is in black. You will never receive something you've disliked. And if I had not liked my box I could return it for a full refund! This customer service of this company is top notch from what I've seen.



I received a lipstick, eye liner, nail polish and tool in my box. All of the colors compliment fair tones. I'd say they did an amazing job the my products, thank you Wantable!

The Spellbound polish 'Elixer' is a gorgeous color and looks great on my nails! It seems to dry quickly and is opaque in just one coat! It's been a challenge to find a nail color that is pretty, not too dark against my fair skin and doesn't looked washed out with my skins pink undertone. I love this color!

The DEX Court Street lipstick in 'Apricot' is another gorgeous color. The packaging also claims that this brand is cruelty free and that is always a plus. I don't have anything with bronzy/orange undertones and I'm very happy to add this to my growing lip collection. The color stays on well and doesn't dry my lips out. It will make a lovely spring and summer color!

I included tools in my 'love' category because I don't really have any. I have a few cheap eye shadow and powder brushes but they tend to fall apart and get bristles all over the place. I don't have any primer or foundation brushes and I instantly noticed the difference in quality. The Michael Marcus Prime Brush is extremely soft yet still sturdy enough to blend.

Girlactik Beauty Grey Liner is a rich, smooth grey eye liner. I love the grey color much more then black or brown! It has a flat angled edge instead of the usual point that most liners have. It goes on smooth and you can use the flat end and smudge it slightly for a smokey eye look or use the edge for a more precise line. This color looks great with fair skin and blond hair! It stays in place and does not smudge or run.


Final Thoughts:

I am very impressed with the Wantable subscription box and believe that it is worth the price for the individual customization and product choices. Everything I received was tailored to my chart and only shades that would work with fair skin were included. Boxes are sent out based on the order date. I ordered this box a few days ago and have already received it while other subscription services haven't even begun shipping.
