Wantable Intimates
Cost: $36/month.
Ships To: United States (Free), Canada ($6), United Kingdom ($7) & Australia ($10).
Wantable, who kindly sent me this box to review, offers 4 to 5 full-sized premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences. They also offer intimates and jewelry boxes, again customized to your preferences. And unlike the majority of other subscription boxes, Wantable allows you to return the box if you aren’t totally 100% happy. You just go into your account, go to your order history and click “Return Items” and you’ll get a prepaid label and a full refund.
Wantable ships via USPS First Class Mail and my box took only two days to arrive. Wantable is just a state away from me (they are in WI and I am in MI) so I never have to wait too long.
The first look was a bit of a mixed bag. I was very excited about a few things and kind of curious about one of the items in the box.
Like I mentioned before, you can totally customize your Wantable box. You fill out a questionnaire telling them what you Love, Like and Dislike. You’ll get more of the things you love and none of the things you Dislike. It also asks about color preferences and that sort of thing. I finally changed my preferences around and now the only thing I dislike is eyeliner.
The April 2014 Wantable box is all about natural beauty combined with bold color. Featured brands this month include Tini Beauty, MiA BelleZZa and Chella! I want to mention that this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will receive these brands in your box. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It all just depends. Anyway, here is what I received in my box:
~FACE Stockholm Nail Polish (Want-A-Blue) ($12): Love this! Don’t tell B another polish has entered this house though. He doesn’t give me a hard time about any of the boxes I receive or anything, but when he sees new nail polish even he has to shake his head. But I love it. This is a pretty spring color and reminds me of a Robin’s egg.
~Glam Natural Lip Cream (Drop Dead Gorgeous) ($20): This is “a bright, raspberry hue with hints of violet shimmer” and I think it’s, well, gorgeous. The color is perfect, it’s not sticky and it goes on nice and smooth. A total score for me.
~Cailyn Cosmetics Built-In-Sponge Tip Mineral Eyeshadow Mink ($15): Well this is fun. At first I thought it was (another) polish, but it’s actually a super cool eyeshadow. It’s got a built in applicator so it’s not messy and travels well.
~Rainbow Honey Nail Lacquer (Hanami) ($10): Yep, this is fabulous too. I’ll wear it over one of the other fun pink colors I have (probably a darker pink or raspberry) instead of just on it’s own, but I don’t see how you can go wrong with pink glitter. I mean you just can’t. Oh, and B, it’s not my fault polishes keep coming ;).
~Sorme Believable Bronzer (Sunkissed) ($21.99): This is the item I was curious about from the first look since I knew I had just received it last month. This shade is darker than the March one so it’s not totally the same, but still. I will certainly use it though (eventually) so it’s not a and thing. I just would have preferred something I hadn’t just received.
All totaled I came up with a value of $78.99 for my April 2014 Wantable Box. Had I not just received the same bronzer last month this might have been my favorite Wantable (makeup) box to date! Even with the repeat it was still pretty darn fabulous. And of course, the value is there on these boxes because Wantable boxes start at $36/month!

They really sent you the same thing? That kindof sucks. If it wasn’t a review box I probably would write and complain. Different color or not its still the exact same thing. Love love love the rest of your box. I’m really liking all the Cailyn things I’ve been getting lately. Nothing I would buy on my own but they sure are fun to play around with.
I know. It was a really good one. I probably wouldn’t have complained even if it weren’t a review one because I will use it, but I was surprised it was the same two months in a row!
Never gotten the wantables make up box but all of their boxes look great! I was trying to exhibit self control this month and canceled the intimates box but the good/bad thing about wantables is you can get it practically all month…i’ll probably cave and re-sign up lol
It’s like instant gratification because you don’t have to wait!!
I got the FACE Stockholm polish too. Love the color! It’s so perfect for spring (if spring ever comes, we still have snow on the ground lol).
It’s a great color. And weather needs to stop!
I’ve had mixed luck with my Wantable boxes, as some things I love and some leave me scratching my head wondering why they sent it to me. It’s a little too expensive for my taste, but next time they have a discount I’m signing back up!
Hopefully they have one soon. I like the buy one get one free deals they have had!
I love that this box comes so early, dont you? I mean, this is an April box, and we are still in March! I am only getting Ipsy and Birchbox this April, so I have to hurry up and wait till mid-month! Bummer.
I believe that the boxes begin shipping on the 26th of the month and its based on the date you originally signed up for the box?? I think?
Just signed up thanks to you 😉
Not my fault!! LOL!
Oh no, that wasn’t sarcasm haha. I have been wanting to try this for a while! You just helped me make the decision. I am so excited for this one since it’s customized. Thank you for the lovely reviews!
This is my best Wantables to date. I loved everything…brow kit that is wonderful, eyeliner (I have some but I really like this one) and two really nice lip colors that I will use!
This was a good month!
Oh! I love Rainbow Honey polish! AND they having been doing a $10 mystery box the past couple months, if you happen to like them!
I have seen that, but I want to know what people have been getting. Any idea?
I believe they’re all the same each month. I think it was a couple nail polishes (sometimes ones without a name yet) and a rollerball perfume and a cuticle oil(one month) and I saw some nail art glitter stuff another month.
Well I won’t be able to resist for too long!
