Wantable Makeup Box Review

I am so excited about this review! Meet Wantable! Wantable offers 4 to 5 full-sized premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences, which is awesome because each box is unique! They also offer intimates and jewelry boxes, again customized to your preferences. Wantable allows you to return the box if you aren’t totally 100% happy. You just go into your account, go to your order history and click “Return Items” and you’ll get a prepaid label and a full refund. No risks! I love it!  

Because they are so custom, each information card is also custom :) The January Makeup Box featured Jessica Scull! 

 

This was a "Prime Foundation Brush" from Michael Marcus ($20) that I received. I LOVE makeup brushes.  I did find this one a bit small for a foundation brush, but I started using it to apply makeup primer and love it! 

 

The sample I recieved was from Sorme and was a "Under Foundation Makeup Enhancer" which seems to be a primer, I have been on the hunt for the perfect foundation primer, so I'm excited to test this out!

 

 I also recieved a full size product from Sorme.  "Long Lasting Blush in Wild Rose." I LOVE this color. It is extremely pigmented.  It says you can also use it wet, which is interesting.  It definitely has a natural "blush" appearance. 

 

OMG I'M IN LOVE! This is the "Clear Brow Gel" by Billion Dollar Brows.($18)  I am SUCH a brow person, and absolutely love this.  It locks them in, without looking wet or crispy.  

 

The last full size product I recieved was a "LaBella Donna Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Black."($25) I'm honestly a little disappointed with this one. I honestly don't care for this style liner, and that could be my downfall.  I find that when you apply it, it can look dark, but you have to press harder to get a deep black, and that is just messy. It doesnt give me that crisp black line like my liquid liner does. BUT it is nice, as far as these go. 

 

There is my review on this box! I hope you check it out! :)

GIVEAWAY! E-sentials Box

This was my first "time of the month box" that I have tried.  But I love the idea.  Periods aren't very fun, and neither is having to purchase the products you need for it.  E-Sentials sends you an assortment of razors, pads, deodorant, and tampons, to you door each month.  They have different levels of plan that determines what will be included in your box.  My favorite part is that you can customize what you receive, just in-case you only use one or the other.

There are 3 different options.  

For $16 a month, you recieve 20 Pads/Tampons, 3 disposable razors, and deodorant.  

For $13 a month, you recieve 20 Pads/Tampons & 3 disposable razors.  

For $10 a month, you recieve 20 Pads/Tampons.

You have several choices for tampons and deodorant, but not pads.  I am not super picky, but I do hope they add more brands to choose from in the future.

My final thoughts-is that this box isn't a great value, it is more about convience, which I am totally okay with. 

 The giveaway is for 1-first month free box!

REVIEW: Bikeloot

This was the first company I got in contact with, when I decided to relaunch the blog, so I am pretty excited to finally do this review!

I am SO not an athlete or biker-but I am trying to get in shape, so I figured I would give this BikeLoot box a go!

This is a pretty awesome subscription box at only $9-$11 a month. I even have a coupon code for you-so check out the bottom of this post!

 

This box comes with an AMAZINGLY detailed information card..swoon! Especially since I am so not into the cycling-lingo.  The first thing I got was from Nibnaks.  These snacks are made from all-natural dried fruit, nuts, and seeds, YUMMO!

  

The next thing is Sportea. How awesome of an idea! It is used as an alternative to workout drinks-which typically contain tons of sugar.  There is also the energems...which appear to be like M&M but an energy booster...interesting concept. Will have to try and report back. They also sent me this awesome bag!

The last few products were a shine product for your bicycle, I dont, so I can pass this along to someone who does! I love the little bottle though, perfect for keeping in your backpack for on the go!I also recieved some Kool N Fit Pain Relieving Spray.  I have been having issues with my knee, and will totally be trying this out!

We also recieved a $10 giftcard to iTrain, I can't wait to use this!


I have a coupon code for you guys as always! Use LOOTME3 for $3 off your box! What a total steal! :)

REVIEW: Mia Tempo Box + Giveaway Day 2!

 I am SOOOO excited to bring you guys this review. I have been waiting awhile to share this with y'all!

I think it would be best to explain a little about Mia Tempo, as it is not your average subscription service.

"Mia Tempo was started with the hope that we could in some small way make a positive difference in the lives of women everywhere.  Our goal is to help women everywhere take a much needed break by letting them experience a little ‘Me-Time’ every month so they can look and feel their best.  This mission is coupled with a passion for all-natural & organic skin care products and at-home spa & beauty treatments and voila!" – Mia Tempo

 

You guys know how I feel about information cards.. I LOVE them! This came in a nice envelope, almost like a card. It had not only just info about what you got, but also a little relaxing routine you could do with what you got! It also shares about how a portion of the proceeds from every box is donated to a non-profit that helps women! Isn't that amazing?!

 

I recieved two Tea Forte tea bags, as well as a bonus satchet of Apricot Amaretto tea. I am on a HUGE tea kick, so I was super happy to see these! Plus they are ADORABLE.

  

The next few things I got are from Soothing Botanicals.  They are all in the same scent.  It includes the Amber + Fig scented Dead Sea Bath Soak, Cream Body Scrub, and Deep Moisture Lotion.  This smell isn't horrible, but also isn't my favorite.  I think I need to try them all out before I make my final decision!

 

 You can probably tell from my blog that I LOVE candles. This one is no exception.  It is from a brand called Paddywax, and looks to be part of a Library collection.  I got the scent "Jane Austen." It is a very floral scent, I pick up a lot of Gardenia, but it smells amazing and clean!

 

The next two things I got were from Wild Carrot Herbals.  I recieved a Wild Rose eye cream, which looks super enticing.  As you can see, there is a package of powder.  It is actually a face mask that you mix "rose honey" & water with.  I don't know how I feel about something that you have to mix something else with, but I'm excited to see how it works. It's a cool idea!

I got a special little gift, which was a facial moisturizer from Green Visions.  Its "Wine and Berries" scented. I love the idea of this, my only worry is the little seeds inside it. I hope those don't transfer to my face! I can't wait to try it out though!

SOOOO many goodies, and the presentation is phenominal! I give this box a total 5/5!

This is 39.95 for one month (Free Shipping.) You get a discount when you buy multiple months.  I do say this is totally worth it, this isn't something full of just sample sizes, you get BIG full size products.

BUT, the exciting news is that I get to host a giveaway for ONE free Mia Tempo box for y'all!

Can't wait to see who wins! You're gonna love it!

REVIEW: Graze Box

Graze Box is a weekly or bi-weekly subscription that costs $6 per box, with free delivery. (I have a code for my readers where you can try it FREE) Right now, this service is very exclusive, and you have to have an invitation code to try-or be put on a waiting list.  Everytime someone new joins, they get 4 free codes to pass on, creating a chain!  I'm not sure how I feel about this approach, but hey, its not my servicew.





When you open the box, you get a cute welcome card, telling you about your box's contents.  I  love this, as it is a nice change to just straight info cards, and really ads a personal touch! I chose the Light Box, which is a healthy version. 

“Welcome to Graze! Here are a couple of things we’d like you to know: Graze is all about healthy snacking, so we think it’s best to keep your box close at hand. That way, you can beat those 3pm junk food cravings with a perfect portion of something that will taste good and do you good. As you snack, you can rate your favorite foods online. It only takes a few minutes and it’s the best way to make sure you get the boxes that are just right for you. Enjoy your first Graze Box.”

This is also a really customizable box.  There are over 90 snack choices, and you can go through and choose if you would like to try them or not, and after you've recieved your box, you can also say if you liked it or not.

This is what my box looked like-

Lightly Toasted Pistachios-"roasted pistachios with a touch of salt "- YUM! These were my favorite.  I LOVE pistachios, and they are SO expensive.

Tropical Daquiri-"pineapple, lime infused raisins and green mango"-No, just no.  I am not a dried fruit person. YUCK

The British Barbeque-"rosemary crostini, mini basil breadsticks, fiery seeds and smoked almonds"- I'll be perfectly honest, I gave this one away.  She liked it, just not for me

Rasberry and Coconut Muffin-"amaretti drops, raspberry infused cranberries, almond slices and coconut flakes"- Can I just get a whole box of these please?  This was my first thing to try, SO GOOD.  I had this for breakfast one more, and it was actually quite filling. Pretty Happy with it!

I would say at only $6 a box, this is a pretty stellar deal.  Even if I only ate two out of four choices,  That was still worth $3 a pop, when you think about how much snack sized foods costs.  I also don't have a microwave or fridge at work, so finding things I can take to eat at work are scarce.  I would just recommend putting the effort to go through and choose which ones you would like to try!

Coupon code time! NEWMRSSNACKS Use this for your first box free-Amazing news is you can also cancel at anytime!

Please let me know if you decide to check it out, and what you think!

REVIEW: Project Diy Subscription Box

Project DIY is a DIY craft subscription box, where they provide the materials needed to create your own jewelry and accessories.  Each month has a theme, the one I recieved was Joan of Arc.
I am not extremely crafty, but I was super happy with how the pieces turned out, I've even worn the necklace a few times!

This is the kind of packaging I long for! Companies, take note!  There is nothing better than product that comes in a nice, protective box.  I HATE envelopes, with a passion.

This was the inside of my box.  As you can see, there is a bracelet and a necklace to make.

Since this was my first month, I recieved a starter kit($20 value.)  You NEED these tools to do the projects, and they are wonderful quality.  I was super surprised with this addition!

This is what each little envelop looks like.  Each project comes in its own package, which is nice if you aren't doing them at the same time, also so you can keep track of what goes with what.

Here is the inside of the necklace package.  There was a bag with wire, and the necklace chain in it.  The other had the gems and rings.  My main complaint about this is that you have to download their app to get the instructions.  It is a smart marketing move, but a little annoying on the consumer end.

These were the items for the bracelet.  One other small complaint.  You used the glue on both projects, but you only got one syringe.  Again, what if I wanted to do them separately?  The gold cuff was a little snug on me, but it is also bendable.  I love that it came in this little pouch, so it didn't get scratched. Nice addition!

Here is my instagram photo of the finished projects.  It took me about 30 minutes to complete both, and I left them to dry overnight.  Both projects were pretty easy to complete.  The biggest thing was the tube beads on the sides of the necklace.  I am so proud of my jewelry! This is a GREAT gift idea!


The coupon code I have is PROJECT20.  You can recieve 20% off your first month's box!

Box was sent for review purposes.
