Hello there Lovely's!!!
Today I received my first beauty box from
Wantable. It is there July box and I was sooooo excited when I saw the package in my mail box. I have been looking around for beauty subscription boxes to sign up for that were the most beneficial to me.
Now there are tons and tons of them out there and I was instantly drawn to Wantable. The fact being that one: they send full size products, not samples and two: you get products that are from all over the world. I thought that was cool because I love to try new products that are not popular in USA. Lastly, these are high end products and if you bought each one individually they would not be cheap.
The one kicker of Wantable is that it is also not the cheapest of subscription boxes. If you want to purchase one box only it would be $40 and if you want to take part of the monthly subscription it would be $36. I lucked out somehow on my first box purchase and received a 20% of coupon for my first month so it came out to be $28.80 with shipping included. Woohoo!!! Can't complain about that!
This is what the box looked like that the products came in.
When you open it up each product is individually wrapped and you received a little card from Wantable thanking you for your purchase and tells you what the Month of July is all about. They also tell you if you do not like this months box you can return it for a full refund and shipping is free.
I however love my box and will be keeping it. I received 5 full size beauty products and as a bonus they threw in a sample.
I'm going to list and show each product in no particular order. This one here is a Haute Couleur High Coverage Lip Lacquer in Nude Addiction from Lise Watier. It retails for $22.00. It is made in Italy but is a very popular product in Canada. I LOVE it. The color is exactly what the name says Nude. I have been wearing it for about an hour and it is staying put but in a very moisturizing way.
How awesome is this!!! It has an LED light and a mirror so that you can always have perfect lips regardless of where you are, even in the dark.
The next product we have is a highlighting mineral powder in Champagne in the Bubble Bath by Swagger Cosmetics that retails for $14.50. It is an awesome highlighter and I'm addicted to highlighters. My only issue with this product is that there is no name on it to indicate the brand or what it is. Just there symbol. I had to look at the invoice to find out what it was and who made it.
I just googled Swagger cosmetics and I found out that it is a mineral makeup company out of San Francisco that is completely vegan. They are also free of fillers and irritating ingredients. Ok so far I am a big fan. They just need to label there makeup so the world knows who they are!!!
My next beauty product is by 29 Cosmetics and it is their D'Vine Grape Seed Age Protecting Conditioning Mascara. It is made in Italy but is an American brand that retails for $26.00. It is filled will tons of anti-oxidants including grape seed extract.
I'm really happy I received mascara because I am really low on my mascara and was about to go out and by some. But now I don't. = ) Also, I am already wearing mascara so I haven't tried it out yet. But it does smell good. Which is weird to say because usually mascara does not smell good at all or smells weird. Here I can smell fruit. The color is in dark brown which is ok because I'll be using it for my day looks not my night time looks.
The next product is a soft eyeliner in brown by Lavera which retails for $15.20.
Lavera is gluten free and cruelty free makeup out of Germany and was awarded #1 in Europe for safe cosmetics. To be honest I have never heard of this company and am elated that I got this. After looking into Lavera and their other products I will definitely be purchasing some more products.
If you are interested in their products here is a coupon code to get 20% off your first purchase on their website. Just enter FIRSTORDER . =)
Ok we're getting there. The last full size product that I received from Wantable is a nail polish by Michael Marcus in the color "Can Can Girl." It retails for $15.50 yikes. But I don't have any nail polish on and applied one coat and it is very very opaque. This is great because I probably just need one nail coat and a top coat and will have a marvelous manicure that lasts.
Michael Marcus's polishes are high end that are free of formaldehyde, toulene, and DBP. Can Can Girl is a bright pink color that is perfect for the summer. Plus it is a cool looking bottle. ; )
That was the end of my full size products. = ( But yay they threw in a freebie. = 0 ) It is a Bronze Beauty Self Tanning Lotion by Manna Kadar. Never heard of this brand but it does smell good for a self tanner. I never wear self tanner's but I will give this a try on my legs and see how it goes. On their website a full size 4oz. bottle of this self tanner sells for $35. Wow!
Doing the math my Wantable box retailed for $92.70 and I only paid $28.80 for this luxurious makeup. Not including the sample. But if 4 oz. costs $35 then my 1 oz. costs $8.75 which brings the box total up to $101.45. Now that's what I call a bargain!!!
I want to say that my favorite product is the Lise Watier Lip Lacquer. The color is so natural that I definitely will be wearing everyday. But I do hope I get more Lavera products in my upcoming boxes. Which is to say I will
absolutely be keeping my
Wantable subscription.
There is one more subscription service I signed up for and it's called
Ipsy. You get a makeup bag with full and luxury sample size products for $10/month. But I'm on the waiting list. Ugh!! So once I get my first package I'll post up my review on that as well as my next Wantable box.
Talk to you guys soon and please leave your comments below. Are you subscribed to
Wantable or do you have any other subscription services?? Let me know!!
XO =)
