Wantable Beauty Box Review – August 2013

I just got my first Wantable makeup box-and I think it is pretty good! One of my lipsticks was a bit too orange for me, but other than that, I will use everything! I do know their stock was running low.

After seeing your previous posts on the box – I figured I’d give it a try. I’ve tried glossybox, birchbox and sample society. I was sick of getting face creams and eye creams. I really just wanted makeup. August was my first box and I was thrilled with what I received. They were spot on with the items they sent me vs. my profile. Can’t wait for next month! Definitely worth the money for more customized products!

To Jordan’s point, yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on with their accessories boxes these days. When I first subscribed around the beginning of the year, I could not rave about them enough. I even emailed the company to tell them how awesome the accessories boxes were.

Then – no matter how much I tried tweaking my profile – they just started going downhill for me. The stuff seems like it’s getting cheaper and cheaper, and the individually wrapped pieces in plastic sort of cheapens it more – I feel like I’m getting wholesale stuff from China (which we probably are – LOL).

In the “good old days,” they used to individually wrap the pieces in tissue paper so it was more like opening a gift, and the stuff was cute, cute, cute. I’m not sure what happened. I just keep skipping months now.

Same with the makeup. Although the stuff in this post is OK, it’s kind of a far cry from the great selection they used to send. I’d recommend the Blush Mystery Box or Glossybox instead – they’re more affordable too.

I’m sad because I used to be such a huge fan. Maybe their number of subscribers – either too many or not enough – is affecting the quality now.

I love the Wantable beauty box. I got over $90 worth of stuff this month, and I loved everything.

I subscribed to the Wantable Accesories box and was dissappointed when it arrived. Not sure if I went wrong in my profile, but none of the three items fit me at all. I plan to return and unsubscribe. $36 a month for a box of Accesories I only semi like does not seem worth it.
