Each collection comes with an invoice with your price for each item and retail prices. If you keep all items, you get a $4 discount on your next box. If you decide to return an item, you are refunded the “Your Price” amount. You may return an item for any reason. I didn’t receive a note from my stylist this month, but if I had, it would be included here.

Here’s what my stylist picked for me this month:

Bella Blender, BellaPierre Cosmetics - Cost to keep: $4.12 (Retail Value $15)

This blender sponge is soft, squishy, and velvety feeling. It really expands when wet and blends liquid foundation into skin for a smooth, airbrushed finish. I think this sponge is a lot like the well-known Beauty Blender. The downside to any sponge is that they soak up some product and that they are kind of hard to clean, but they certainly help keep fingers clean while applying messy product. Oh, and it feels like an arm workout when you are bouncing this sponge all over your face.

Spellbound Nail Lacquer Jinx, Liberty Republic - Cost to keep: $3.85 (Retail Value $14)

Spellbound Nail Lacquers seem to only be available through the Wantable Makeup subscription at this point. The shade Jinx is a bright, pink-coral color that instantly makes me feel summery. Did it last 2 weeks? No. But hardly anything does. It goes on smoothly and I can get good coverage with two coats. With a top coat, it stayed fresh looking for about 5 days on my fingers. Plus, this nail lacquer is 5-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Hydra-surge Rich Body Butter, BellaPierre Cosmetics - Cost to keep: $21.98 (Retail Value $80)

This luxurious body butter is infused with diamond powder and botanical oils. I can’t tell if the diamonds do anything other than make me feel glamorous, but the oils definitely moisturize. The consistency is thick but not greasy and my skin is left feeling velvety. The scent is light and makes me think of powder and perfume. $80 is a steep price for body butter, so I’m really appreciating the deep discount.

Lash Mob Limitless Mascara Black, Sugar Cosmetics - Cost to keep: $6.05 (Retail Value $22, $14.99 online)

This mascara is great! I really like the box design and the tube is simple and clean. The bristles are densely packed and medium in length. I loved the way it lengthened and separated my lashes without applying too heavily. It stayed on through the day without flakes and smudges and removed easily with a swipe of an eye makeup remover pad.

A mid-move, no makeup before.

After applying Lash Mob. It instantly brightened my look without any other makeup.

Verdict: This month’s Wantable Makeup Collection was a win for me. I will be keeping all of my items (so I’ll receive the discount next month) and the mascara is my favorite find. The value of this collection is $131 with free shipping. I like the mix they included — a beauty tool, nail color, makeup item, and skincare item.

What do you think of the this month’s Wantable Makeup Collection?

Tiffany found out about subscription boxes from a friend who followed MSA. The curiosity started with mystery beauty boxes and grew into an addiction from there. Beauty, clothes, home...she loves the sight of a subscription box in the mail.

Even though I like your box better than mine, I like that we have different stuff. I got the nail polish, but I got it in Snapdragon, which is a coral-red color. I like your peachy shade better. Overall, I’m not impressed with the formula though. I got a great blush from Eddie Funkhauser, which I think only exists with Wantable. My main gripe this month, my second month, is that I only checked “dislike” for one thing – red lipstick. and I got a liquid lip from Sugar called “Raisin.” Looks brown in the package, but it’s dark red. Not even reddish brown, which I would have liked, but red. I’m fine with surprises in subs, and i have tried many a red because they came in subs, and I tried this one…but it’s the ONLY thing I checked dislike for.

Shop around more — you can buy that same body butter for $24 on Lucky Vitamin — no retail price of $80 anywhere online. Shady.

Thanks for the modeling pics showing the before & after mascara look. I love seeing those types of shots (or a pic with one eye with mascara, and the other with none) because I feel that gives me a good idea on whether a mascara just lengthens, volumizes, separates, curls, does it all, or only does a couple of those things.

My first Wantable box was pretty great but subsequent boxes have been disappointing. One box I was surprised to receive 4 lipsticks despite only indicating I liked (not loved) lip products. And another month I received an eye shadow with a fingerprint in it! I keep giving them chances but am thinking I may be done with them for awhile since I’m usually let down.
