Wantable: April makeup box

Wantable is a service that offers truly customizable boxes of full sized cosmetics. (They also have jewelry option, but I have not tried that one!) They allow you to choose categories of makeup that interest you (eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip color, highlighter, blush, bronzer, nail color brows) and then within those categories, specific types (shimmer, matte, bright, neutral, powder, cream, etc). They then select items for you (around 4 full sized items). You can subscribe for $36 a box, or buy a single box for $40.

I have gotten one box in the past, and I was happy with what I received, so I decided to try another one. This month, I chose to receive all categories but brows and bronzer, and within the categories, I chose color options over neutral. Here's what I got!

I think their packaging is so cute. It's small and just put together well.

They included a little bonus this month - two La Fresh makeup remover wipes. I love these and am always happy to receive them.

This is eyeshadow by Be a Bombshell. The shade is Divine. It is a super shimmery baby blue! So pretty! It is nice and pigmented, soft and smooth. I love this color!

Be a Bombshell eyeliner in Amethyst! This is a marker style liner in a deep purple. I have the black one and it is great! I actually don't have a purple liquid liner and I am so excited for this one. I'm loving this brand.

Cailyn Cosmetics Dramatic Impact mascara in blue. It's a lengthening, thickening mascara in a pretty blue color. I don't have any colored mascaras and I am happy to try one! I have a Cailyn gel liner that I really enjoy, so I'm pretty excited to try the mascara.

This is a cream blush by 29 Cosmetics. The shade is Napa Rouge, and it is a nice, highlighting pink. It feels nice and creamy and the color is subtle. The packaging is gorgeous! This blush alone retails for $39.

In all, I am excited to try these products! I love blues and purples, so they chose perfect shades for me. This box has a value of $85, which is a great deal.

Here is what everything looks like swatched. From left to right, here is the blush, shadow, liner, and mascara. Everything seems to be of really great quality!

I am still impressed with Wantable's products and service. I'll probably get another box in the future!

Have you tried any of these brands?
