Wantable April Makeup Box |Review&Monthly Posts Round Up!

I've been wanting to review this Wantable* Makeup Box for a while. Wantable has three subscriptions you can chose from: Makeup, Accessories, or Intimates. I was offered a gift box and of course, I chose beauty/makeup :) The package is a big pricey than other subscriptions $36 monthly, but you receive the products in full size, and not just samples. I've read positive reviews of this brand from fellow bloggers, so I was pretty excited to try these products.

I received four full size products of

Chella Heated Eyelash Curler

Eyetini Eye Cordial Cream Shadow Tint & Base in Dirty Martini

La Bella Donna - Mindful Red

Liberty Republic Spellbound Nail Laquer in Enchanted

The process:
I had to take this one long style quiz, it had about 5-6 sections believe. I took quizzes based on my skin type, such as, what makeup I like, what brushes, colors etc. Whichever items matched up to my taste, Wantable sent those. The items are hand picked and matched accordingly to your taste. Pretty neat quizzes, I love that you can actually chose on your preferences, imagine receiving something you don't even like.. (been there, done that lol).

I've received these items three days later. The packing is beautiful. I mean come on, they even had my name on the inside of the package! I've heard of Wantable before, but not the products they feature.

Chella - Heated Eyelash Curler($22) is not like other curlers at all. It's quite gentle, and does not damage your eyelashes. It gives a beautiful look, and helps to fully define your lashes. It doesn't pinch or damage your lashes like traditional Lash curlers, I've never had a huge liking to lash curlers as they can be pretty harmful - I hated the pinchy feeling I would get. However, this curler is exceptional. It's a real eye opener and helps double your lashes and defines them well without hurting them. It's actually gentle and relaxing. However, it eats battery like candy.

This is my favorite product out of the bunch La Bella Donna - Mindful Red($24.50) - I love my nude lipsticks, but I really like dark lipsticks for a more dramatic look. The packing is really nice - the color itself was beautiful. It's not exactly a matte finish, but more of a satiny lipstick which is great since matte lips can be super dry afterwards. It gives off a luxurious feeling. I wouldn' t say it lasts the whole day as it claims, but roughly a few hours - about 5-6.

Liberty Republic Spellbound Nail Laquer in Enchanted($14) is Vegan-free which I love :) The color is quite vibrant and leaves a smooth finish. It's very pigmented as well. I have a huge collection of nail polishes, but I was missing this color. It reminds me of teal than green. The brush is a bit thick though and hard to use, I prefer my nail polish brushes thinner since they apply much more smoothly. Good thing, just ONE coat is enough since it's quite thick. It dries quite fast!

Eyetini Eye Cordial Cream Shadow Tint & Base in Dirty Martini($14.40) was a bit similar to color to the Nail Lacquer. I expected complete different shades, so I can have more of a variety. However, it looks beautiful though. It gives off a big off shimmer, without being glittery so that's a plus. It fits in for a spring look.

The products work really well, I'm not sure if the individual prices justify some of them since they range from $14+ and up. If you cannot afford to buy these products separately, I would recommend the Subscription Box then. The individual prices combined total to $74.90, but Wantable will give to you for only half the price $37, which is actually a pretty good deal. The products are high-quality and luxurious.

They also offer if you do not like the products, you can always return them for a full refund and can also get a prepaid label. They let you cancel your subscription anytime as well.

This was my first time receiving a beauty box, and I'm pleased with Wantable :) The Heated Eyelash Curler is the most original out of all the products. Wantable has exceptional customer service, quite friendly and nice I must say. I would give them four stars out of five. You can learn more about them on their website & subscribe to them here :)

I thought of doing something different, and adding a Monthly posts Round up. Here are all the posts last April - If you missed them, they're all here.

I hope you guys find this review helpful, thank you for reading as well. Leave your blog links in the comments & I'll be sure to check them out and follow :) Stay in tuned beautiful people..
