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.
Not a bad first look.
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.
My May 2016 Wantable Makeup Box contained the following items:
~Doucce Punk Volumizer Mascara (Retail Price: $24, Your Price: $10.80): I have been on complete mascara overload lately so I may end up passing this on to a friend (and changing my Wantable profile). I have tried it in the past and it’s “okay”. It’s not my favorite, but I don’t hate it either. $11 is a great price for it though.
~29 Cosmetics Grape Seed Age Protection Lip Gloss Pouting Pinot (Retail Price: $24, Your Price: $10.80): This gloss is very pink and I love it! I didn’t find it sticky and instead just thought it was a great sheer, but very glossy, pop of pink!
~Joshik Peachy (Retail Price: $12, Your Price: $5.40): Peachy is a bright red with orange undertones crème polish. This is a totally new brand to me, but the formula was smooth and even. It looks like I will need two coats, but them again I always do. JoShik is cruelty-free, vegan and 5-free, which means it does not contain Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene and Formaldehyde Resin. It’s also free of Parabens, Xylene and Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP).
~Mineral Hygienics Mineral Bronzer – Warm Kiss (Retail Price: $20, Your Price: $9): I want to love this bronzer, but it’s too dark for me. It’s a little thicker than I expected as well. I may need to mix this up with a lighter shade to make it work for me.
~Swatches:
All totaled my May 2016 Wantable Makeup box had a value of $80. That’s double the cost of the box and I think that’s a pretty decent value. I need to do some tweaking of my profile for next month, but I but generally happy with this box.
