Subscription Box Series: Wantable!

Guess what came in the mail today?  My Wantable Intimates Subscription Box!  I am so excited to open it and see what I got!   For those of you who don't know, Wantable is a monthly subscription box that retails for $49.99 per month.  You can choose from 3 different types of boxes, Beauty, Accessories or Intimates.  You can pick one, or get all three (for $49.99 each).  Once you subscribe, you go through a questionnaire and tell them what you "Love", "Like" and "Dislike".  They also ask sizes, weight, height and color family and styles.

 I decided to order the intimates box because I saw a few boxes on youtube and they had some really nice stuff, one person got this cute little romper/sleeper, a cute pair of betsy johnson sleep shorts and a pretty lace trimmed blue camisole, this had my hopes up to get something like this too!

Warning!!  As this is the intimates box, there will be pics of undies that I got........

Here's what the box looks like when it arrives and the paper that tells you what you got and what it's worth...

Here's What the box looks like when it arrives

Here's the packing list that tells you the retail price of the items.

Here's what I got....

This is a Mimi Bandeau by Miel in Coral.  I think this would be cute in the summer maybe under a backless shirt that coordinates.  Retail Price is Listed at $25.00 .  I have never heard of this brand, and would never ever spend $25 on a Bandeau.......

Whimsy by Lunaire Bikini.  These are lace/mesh.  Cute undies, but they are Hi-Cut, so they look huge and probably will come up a little too high on my waist for my liking.  Retail Price is Listed at $16.00, but the tag on the undies says $18.00.  I have also never heard of this brand, and this isn't really something I would ever purchase for myself.  I'm more of a cotton boyshort/bikini type when it comes to undies!  I would also never spend $18 on ONE pair of undies!!

Lily Cheekie Boyshort by Yummie Tummie in Pink (I know it looks kind of coral in the pic, but it's more of a darker pink.).  I am kind of excited for these, they are supposed to be a tummy shaper, and they help me fit into my dress pants a little better, I'm all for it! The only problem I have is the color, I wish it was a neutral or white color so it could be worn under lighter colors too.   Retail price is listed at $18.00.  I think this is a fair price for a "shaper".  I'll keep you updated on if it actually shapes!

Cotton Slub Crew Neck in Antique Jade by PimaTee.  The shirt looks small for an XL, but maybe it's supposed to fit tight?  It's a crew neck t-shirt, what else can I say about it?  Maybe I'll wear it to work out or sleep?  Retail price is listed at $9.99.  

So, what do I think of this box?  I am not impressed at all.  When I saw what other people were getting, I was super excited!  But this was kind of a let down. I don't know if I'll keep this subscription going or not...I might try one more month but change my "Loves and Likes and Don't Send".  I don't know if in the real world, I would have paid the retail price for any of these items, except maybe the shaper.  I have never heard of any of these brands either so I can't say anything about quality. 

Do you get this box?  Let me know in the comments what you got and if you like it!

Lets get this blog series going with Ipsy Glam Bag!

I received the March box on Wednesday and this month's theme is "Destinations."  Each month, you get a new makeup bag, and 4 products (some are full sized and some are deluxe sample sizes).  Here is what this month's bag looks like.....

This print was designed by an artist named Klari for Ipsy

I like the print a lot and the bag itself feels like oil cloth, an almost rubbery but not quite cloth.  It would be easy to clean so it is perfect for travel! I also love the fact that they are having upcoming artists design the prints.

This month, I received a lip stick (deluxe sample size), a primer (deluxe sample size), a felt tipped liquid liner pen (full size) and an eye shadow trio (full size).  Here's what I got.......

I'm familiar with all of the brands except for the eyeliner, which is made by Chella.  Overall, really happy with what I got! Since I received this on Tuesday, I have used all of the products except for the eyeliner.  Now for the swatches and my impression of each!!!!

bareMinerals marvelous Moxie Lipstick in the shade "Get Ready"

This is a pretty pinky neutral color.  It's kind of a "Your Lips but Better" color.  I have used this as kind of a "stain", just applying lightly and rubbing it into my lips.  That gave me a few hours of wear time, only drinking out of a straw, no eating.  

NYX Eyeshadow Trio in "Love in Rio"

This is a great neutral trio.  The swatches on my hand are without eye primer.  I use these over a neutral eyes shadow pencil (like milani shadow eyez pencil in 03 Champagne Toast or Avon Extralasting Eye Shadow Pencil in Shimmering Sand.)  and I get great staying power and more of an opaque color.  Overall, this is a great shadow trio - you can get a few different looks with just this one trio!

Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer

Do you see that kind of wet looking spot above my thumb?  That's the primer.  It is sort of tinted, but as you can see blends nicely with my skin tone.  It does have shimmer in it, so if you have oily skin this isn't for you.  I used it under my Revlon Colorstay foundation and it gave me a nice glow, but not anything to crazy.  I don't usually use a primer, just moisturizer and then foundation so this is a product that I would never have tried or purchase in full size.  

Chella: hello beautiful eyes Eyeliner Pen in Indigo Blue

Let me start off by saying I am not a liquid liner person.  I use gel eyeliner on special occasions, but that's as far as it goes for me.  I might consider using this one though because the tip is able to be used in ways to get different thicknesses.  The color is pretty, I can see myself experimenting with this for a "pop if color"  The tip is very soft and doesn't seem to drag at all when applying.  

So, that's my March Glam Bag.  If you receive Ipsy and got any of these products or are familiar with them, let me know what ya think!  

I'll post about my other boxes as I receive them.  Goodnight peeps!
