This one, however, is specially curated by famous makeup artist Robert Jones, who has worked with celebs like Selena Gomez, Cindy Crawford, Sheryl Crow, and the Dixie Chicks. Jones has big name clients including Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman and is well known for his easy to follow and very helpful makeup tutorials online.
The theme for this box is "Pop of Color" and it is specially inspired by the season of spring that is now emerging! The items were packaged carefully inside a lovely drawstring black velvet bag, and as the items appeared, I was really amazed at how well Robert Jones and Wantable encapsulated "Spring" in this collection. Just looking at the beautiful collection makes you feel that the season of gorgeous pastels and pops of elegant color is here!
29 Cosmetics Dew Lip Gloss: Shade is "Napa Sunset," a really subtle peachy pink shade that does give you some color but is sheer enough to be subtle. I'll be posting a photo wearing this soon.
Color Club Nail Lacquer: Shade is "He Loves Me," a perfectly pale pink that just screams "Spring," and makes you want to go hunt for easter eggs! I have now found my perfect pink nail polish shade. I've loved the Color Club formula since Wantable introduced me a few months ago, and this is just as nice as the last bottle. You can get light coverage in 1 coat, full coverage in 2 coats, and a really nice full and stunning pink with three coats. The swatches in this photo show you 1, 2, and 3 coats, left to right.
Manna Kadar Blush: Shade is "High Five," a really nice shade that is somehow peach and pink at the same time. It's fairly pigmented, so just a quick sweep will give you a gorgeous blush of spring color.
Cailyn Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner: In Black. This is probably my favorite item in the box. It looks like an ordinary eyeliner somewhat -- but it's really unique! You screw off the bottom portion, and pull out the top part of it to get three separate pieces. The bottom part holds the pot of black gel eyeliner, and the top part is your brush. This little brush is amazing. It's tapered just perfectly and makes application easy. Anyone who has tried gel eyeliner before may have used an angled brush. Well, this is so much easier. Plus, the short length of the applicator makes precision easy.
This box gives us peaches, pinks, gently shimmering greens, and an elegant sweep of black to tie it all together. These shades are extremely versatile and will look great on anyone. They are not the super extreme kind of shades that only work for one complexion, but rather the ones that look equally good on my olive skin and my friend's pale white complexion. If you like the idea of spring renewal for your makeup look, this definitely has you covered.
Once again, Wantable has wowed me with their attention to detail. They don't just do boxes of makeup, but entire looks. When you get your Wantable box you can rest assured that the whole box of makeup will look great together, and it will look great on you personally. That's why I call it the perfect box for makeup lovers: High end brands that were picked out just for you, and high end brands chosen by one of the hottest makeup artists out there? Yes, that's Wantable.
Gotta have your own Wantable? You can get the Robert Jones box you saw here (these are all full sized products) for $36 when you sign up (cancel anytime) or $40 if you want to buy a one time box. Wantable always gives you at least $80 worth of cosmetics and often more that that (this box easily topped $90 retail.)

This is fantastic! I had clicked through the wantable banner ad to read about this box, but this gives me such a better idea of whether I'd want it. Honestly, it's practically worth it for the eyeliner alone, to me -- I CANNOT apply eyeliner, and this product sounds like it would really help!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your insightful review!
Thanks, Dani! The Cailyn liner definitely makes gel liner so much easier. That alone made the box for me. :D
DeleteThank you for helping me decide this i am dumping Glossybox for Wantable it's only 15 more and they pick stuff just for you. I am going to get my first one in April I think but I want to order this special one as an x-tra also want that eyeliner and also the blush is prettiest color.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think you will be really pleased with Wantable. You just can't go wrong with this one because they are so customized and have truly quality products. Enjoy your Wantable!
ReplyDeleteI just subscribed to them a few weeks ago. Got my FEB. box right away, not like other subscription boxes that take forever to get your 1st one after subscribing.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED everything they sent me & it really was closely tailored to my quiz answers. It surprised me how spot on they were with what they sent. Boy, that made this box the best at really matching my wants!
I got all this in my Feb. box: For all the subscribers getting a Feb. box, as an extra they put a jewelry item in the makeup box & a make up item in the jewelry box.
1.-I got a "faux" turquoise necklace that was 2-sided, one design on one side & another on the other.
2. BEAUTY FOR REAL- full size lip pencil
3. 29 COSMETICS- full size moisturizing lipstick
4. 29 COSMETICS- full size blush
5. BENECOS- full size natural baked eyeshadow pot
6. BE A BOMBSHELL- full size liquid eyeliner chubby pen (kinda like a felt tip marker for your eyes)
7. MILU BEAUTY- sample size extra for the month- Amber Sugar lip scrub
So including the necklace, it was 8 items, with only the lip scrub being a sample size.
I also went to each company's website & priced the full sized items. The only thing I did not price was the necklace but I'll take a guess & say for a "faux" necklace, maybe $10?
Anyway the grand total for my Feb. box was a little over $100-$110 worth of products for the $36 monthly fee!!!! WOW! This is THE best subscription box I have gotten ever!
Now I'm so excited for each month!
Oh & I tried some of the products already & LOVE the lipstick & blush by 29 Cosmetics!!! Lip pencil is good, haven't tried the eyeshadow yet. Haven't tried the Be A BOMSHELL liner pen but have used one before in another color & LOVED it & also other products in this company's line. Tried the lip scrub, it smells good & tastes good too!
I think anybody trying WANTABLE will be pleasantly surprised compared to other boxes they've gotten with other companies. I cancelled my birchbox, ipsy, & eco-emi to get this one & I have no regrets!
I'm glad you're enjoying your Wantable too, Diane! The quality and the customization just cannot be beat and I continue to be impressed by this company!
