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 would always ship at the end of the month.

As 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 October 2016 Wantable Makeup Box contained the following items:

~HAN Skin Care Co. Cheek and Lip Tint (Peony) (Retail Price: $14, Your Price: $4.50): This cheek and lip tint is 100% natural and the color comes from plants, vegetables, and fruits.  It looks almost scary bright in the tube, but it’s softer on.  It’s easy to use, and I love two-in-one products.

~Lord & Berry Eyeshadow Character (Retail Price: $22, Your Price: $7.07): The information card lists the retail price of this shadow as $22, but it’s listed for $15 on the Lord & Berry website.  Regardless, “my price” was less than both, so that’s good.  This color is outside of what I would select for myself, but not totally crazy.  I thought it blended nicely and wasn’t cakey or flakey.

~Ardency Inn Medium Deep Golden Custom Coverage (Retail Price: $38, Your Price: $12.21):  Wow, this is so dark. I need to double check my profile settings and make a change ASAP. Other than the shade, I love this.  It’s designed to be mixed with your daily moisturizer so you can get the amount of coverage you need, where you need it.

~FACE Stockholm Powder Finish (October) (Retail Price: $38, Your Price: $12.21): This is another too dark for me shade (right now anyway), but I think it will work when I apply some self-tanner. It’s a foundation and powder in one and can be applied wet or dry. The coverage is amazing and while it’s not something I’d wear every day (it’s a little heavy for me personally), but it would be great for a night out.

~Swatches:

Per the information card (I had noted a slight variance in one of the retail prices) my October 2016 Wantable Makeup had a value of $112. That is a great value for this box, and I love that they allow you to return items that don’t work for you.

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?
