Beauty: Wantable Makeup Box November 2013

I have been subscribing to Wantable's makeup box for a few months now. It's a company that offers makeup, accessories and intimates boxes; you can subscribe for monthly shipments, with the option of skipping months, or you can purchase one-time.

If you subscribe to a makeup box, you're asked to fill out a beauty quiz, answering your likes and dislikes for eveything from makeup tools, highlighter preference to nail polish colour and texture. You then receive 4-5 full size makeup items, with a sample thrown in, each month. For the most part, I have been pretty happy with the makeup boxes, changing my beauty quiz answers depending on what I would most like.

Let's take a peek at November's beauty box:

Okay, my initial thought on opening the box: hm, that's it? I have been spoiled by the last three boxes which were amazing, e.g. Lise Watier lip stain, Beauty for Real mascara, Face Stockholm highlighters and glosses. To be totally fair, I did check that wanted beauty tools and checked no to lip or cheek products. The Michael Marcus foundation brush is okay but I feel like it's taking the place of more useful usable makeup products. The Manna Kadar lash conditioner is another 'okay' item for me, I don't think I will use it often and would much rather have another mascara. The polish, from Pomegranate Nail Lacquer is another 'okay'; it's pretty but nothing too special, in my opinion. The Peepers by Darla eyeshadow (cute packaging) is my favourite of the bunch; a really pretty golden taupe, perfect for everyday. There's also a sample size of an egg white facial soap- haven't used it and don't think I will to be honest.

I've been enjoying my Wantable subscription so this box feels like a letdown. Part and parcel of the fear/joy of a beauty box is that you never know what you're going to get. Wantable has been good in that the majority of items have been items I like and USE. I have high(er) hopes for the December beauty box, and hope to post about it when it arrives.
