The July Wantable Beauty Box has finally made it all the way from the USA and was kindly gifted to me by Wantable. I can confirm that I did not incur any custom charges on this box.

This was the last beauty box on my wishlist and it certainly was worth waiting for. This box truly has a special place in my beauty box collection and you will see why once you read on.

Wantable provide their customers with hand picked, curated and boutique makeup in a monthly subscription box at  $50 a month which works out to be around £30.00 this includes shipping and taxes. All their products  are full sized too. You can cancel, return, or skip at anytime!

There’s something very special about Wantable – They create unique customer profiles by asking customers a series of product and personality questions. They then use this data to introduce customers to assortments of products perfectly suited to their personal taste. If’s there’s a certain make up item or shade you don’t like they simply won’t send it to you.

As well as beauty boxes they also do an intimates box and an accessories box.

Judging by their previous boxes I have seen fab products in this box and all of them have been full-sized. The appeal factor for me was the fact that it’s mainly make up related items only. I also love discovering products from other countries it makes me feel that I am not missing out on anything!

July’s box included 4 full sized products and I can confirm that the items I received was spot on in conjunction with the beauty profile which I completed this includes the products to the colours I received and that in itself is impressive.

1.    Ofra Pressed Powder Blush in Cameleon – Full Size RRP £10.00

I was recently introduced to this brand in July’s Love Me Beauty Box and was pleasantly surprised with their eyeshadow.

This is a pressed powder blush which came in the shade Cameleon and is a pretty peach shade and has a great pigmented colour when applied. This can be applied wet or dry and can be used subtly during the day and more vibrantly at night.

This also has a secret mirror underneath the actual blush which is great for on the go touch-ups.

I love the shade of this blush. Certainly a product I will be keeping in my make up bag.

2.   Mirabella Lipstick in shade Fever  – Full Size RRP £14.00

A brand I’m not familiar with but I have seen Mirabella feature in a few American beauty boxes.

This came in the shade Fever which is a dashing and vibrant red. I don’t own that many red lipsticks so was pleased to see this inside the box.

The lipstick itself glided on smoothly and gave the most wonderful rich colour on my lips. This felt hydrating and moisturising on my lips and didn’t feel dry at all. This lipstick has all of the properties which a lip product should deliver in terms of it’s colour, the finish and it’s staying power.

3.  Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash Mascara   – Full Size RRP £12.00

New brand alert and not one that I have heard of.

Tarina Tarantino is an American costume jewelry and accessory designer, based in Los Angeles, California. Known for her flamboyant pink hair, she has been described as having “a pretty cult-like following in LA”. She also has a make-up line which is popular with the likes of celebrities and make up lovers alike.

Her make-up packaging is elegantly designed just like her jewelery and really does stand out giving you a feel of a luxurious high end brand.

This mascara promises to lengthen and volumise your lashes to give you traffic stopping lashes! Now that alone is a big statement!

The mascara itself is faceted just a like a jewel in a gunmetal tube making it quite unique in appearance.

The applicator brush was the ideal size and fully coated my lashes and the results were pretty amazing. This lengthened and made my lashes thicker with noticeable results and has certainly put some of my more expensive mascara’s to shame. Looks like I will be re-arranging my make-up bag this weekend. In with the new and out with old!

4.  Vincent Longo Lipstain with SPF15  – Full Size RRP £15.00

Another lipsick! I am really getting spoilt. Another new brand for me.

Vincent Longo Cosmetics has been a beauty and fashion insider’s make-up brand of choice. Known for their luxurious, high performance formulas and trend setting color palettes, the brand has developed a cult like following among stylish, sexy, self – confident women around the world. A-list actors and actresses, supermodels, professional make-up artists, film and television directors, beauty and fashion editors – those who utilize make-up on the job as well as for personal enhancement – share a special appreciation for how well our products work on the fashion runway, on-camera and in real life.

I received the shade Fleur De Flirt which is a nude shade with a subtle hint of brown.

This is Vincent Longo’s award winning Lipstain with SPF 15 which delicately tints the lips with a glossy coat of sheer color. The formula contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to soften and nourishes the lip tissue and has a hint of a vanilla scent.

This felt light weight whilst on which is ideal for the hot summer days which we are having.

My Verdict

This was my first Wantable Beauty Box and I am really impressed and delighted with the contents. A box containing full sized make-up products all chosen to suit my needs and likes.

There’s something very special about Wantable – They create unique customer profiles by asking customers a series of product and personality questions. They then use this data to introduce customers to assortments of products perfectly suited to their personal taste. If’s there’s a certain make up item you don’t like they simply won’t send it to you.

July’s box included 4 full sized products and I can confirm that the items I received was spot on in conjunction with the detailed beauty profile which I completed from the products to the colours I received and that in itself is impressive.

 The box also contained information on all the items which were featured including their value and how to apply the products to achieve the best results.

The contents within this month’s box is worth £51.00 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £30.00. Whilst the price of this box may appear to be a bit steep it’s a small price to pay to discover these great brands which are renowned in the US and are all full sized products. No silly sized samples in this box!

I loved every single product I received and my box definitely mirrored what I would of personally selected.

If you’re a make-up lover and want to discover good quality and high end American brands this is the box for you. This box definitely gives you a different experience compared to any other beauty box on the market in my opinion mainly because I know that my box each month will be tailored and I will never receive an eyeshadow or an orange lipstick!

As well as beauty boxes Wantable also do an intimates box and an accessories box.
