Wantable offers five different types of subscription boxes. This box is their makeup box, which includes 4 to 5 full-sized premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences. They also offer intimates, fitness, style and accessories 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. They also allow you to return a just portion of your box if you want!  Wantable lists “Your Price” on the information card along with the “Retail Price” so you can easily determine the amount of credit you will receive if you opt to return certain items.  If you end up keeping your entire box, a credit of $4 will be posted to your account – making your next box $36.

Wantable ships via USPS and took just a few days to arrive.  Wantable (typically) ships at the same time each month based on when you originally subscribed.  So if you subscribed at the end of the month, your box will always ship at the end of the month.

Like I mentioned before (and like I do every month), 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, some of the things you Like and none of the things you Dislike. It also asks about color preferences and that sort of thing. Eyeliner is my only dislike and that seems to be working out well. Wantable has also launched the “My Stream” which includes product and customer photos of items from Wantable boxes. You can scroll through the images, and if you see something you love, you can request it in your next box. I haven’t tried this yet but plan to for my next set of boxes.

My March 2016 Wantable Makeup Box contained the following items:

~Colorscience Eye Lash Curler (Retail Price: $17, Your Price: $9.25): Everyone needs an eyelash curler right?  This gave my lashes nice volume and wasn’t uncomfortable to use.

~Antonym Lipstick Pencil – Pinkish (Retail Price: $17, Your Price: $9.25): Meh.  I would describe this as more coralish than pinkish.  It applied smoothly and seemed to have good lasting power, but the color wasn’t for me.

~Mai Couture Crystal Cove Highlighter Papier (Retail Price: $17.50, Your Price: $9.52): I love highlighter papers!  It’s a blush / blotting paper in one.  The harder you press on it, the more color will show. This color was more shimmery than anything else on me personally, but I loved it.


~FACEBASE Eye Shadow Ganache (Retail Price: $22 ($24 online), Your Price: $11.97): This color is gorgeous!  It’s a shimmery brown with a hint of copper in it.  It’s easily my favorite item in the box.

All totaled my March 2016 Wantable box had a value of $73.50. Not a huge value and really not my favorite box from them.  Last month was so amazing that it would be hard to top!

Do you subscribe to Wantable?  If so, what’d you get in your box (makeup, accessories, intimates, fitness or the new style edit) this month? And if you don’t subscribe, what are you waiting for? There is no risk involved so why not?
