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.

I actually meant to skip this month’s box but didn’t get to it in time.  I decided I would still review the box, but didn’t swatch anything because I was pretty sure it was all going back anyway (I do not “need” any more products right now).

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 February 2017 Wantable Makeup Box included the following items:

~Lord & Berry Conceal-It Ginger (Retail Price: $22, Your Price: $10.11):  This concealer stick is designed to hide minor flaws, dark circles, blemishes and fine lines. Had this been a shade light I would have been tempted to keep it. I think the built in blender sponge is genius.

~IBY Beauty Mineral Pressed Blush (Raspberry) (Retail Price: $16, Your Price: $7.38): This is billed as “raspberry,” but it screams hot pink to me!  Important to note – this blush is Talc Free, Paraben Free and formulated with natural minerals.

~Doucce Luscious Lip Stain Set (606) (Retail Price: $28, Your Price: $12.87): I was totally tempted to keep this, but I resisted! You can use the satin stain alone for a matte look or top it with the separate gloss.  Had this color been different I also could have been swayed into keeping this ;).

~Cate McNabb Cosmetics Cream Foundation Cream Neutral Honey (Retail Price: $21, Your Price: $9.66): The information card values this at $21, but the price on the website is $32.  As usual, I went with the more conservative price. I have my pressed powder from last month, and I have a BB cream that I like, so I will be returning this.

All totaled my February 2017 Wantable Makeup had a value of $87.  That’s a solid value, and I was tempted to keep a few things, but since I was planned on skipping this box anyway, I am going to return it.  That’s the beauty of Wantable – zero commitment!

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?
